"Yeah… want to see something cool?" Felix asked with a charming smile as he grabbed Yemada's hands in his and locked eyes with her.
Yemada didn't pull her hands away. She just stared back at him eye to eye with an unreadable expression. But her silence spoke louder than any word she could utter.
Felix took her silence for a yes.
"Yemada?"
Just as Felix was about to activate the [Absolute Domain] skill and give the beautiful Sage a tour of his dark manor, the voice of another female Sage suddenly reached their ears.
Yemada quickly pulled her hands away from Felix's grasp as she turned to face her colleague with a questioning gaze.
The Sage's gaze lingered on both of them for a full minute with an unreadable expression, before she spoke again.
"It's time to go," she said and turned, walking away.
Yemada then turned back to Felix, who smiled sheepishly at her. This forced her to smile back in kind, as if they both acknowledged they'd been caught.
