"I am a gentleman. I wouldn't peek into a woman's body."
"Relax, Chief Grey." Jasmine chuckled. "I was just joking."
"I know that you are a gentleman, and from the looks of it, you are intently focused on the pursuit of power. It's to the point that you are unaware of what's happening around you."
"Are you naturally this dense?" Jasmine asked with a smile on her face. "I pity the women around you."
"Dense..." Grey tilted his head in confusion.
Then, he frowned.
"..." Grey suddenly fell silent, as if something he had deliberately ignored brushed against his thoughts.
Two women's voices echoed faintly within his mind.
One was a promise, spoken long ago, about taking care of a child, about giving her a home and letting her live under his roof.
The other voice was calmer, more direct.
"In short, I want someone like you."
"..." Grey's expression darkened.
Jasmine's words about love did not move the current Chief Grey, nor the creator of the Nexus Evolutionary Path.
