THE NEXT GIG

WHEN Astrid walked out of his room, his steps faltered. Because he quickly noticed that the atmosphere between Lauren and Reas seemed to be much better compared to before he answered Wulfric's call. 

Lauren had a soft smile on his face while the rigidity surrounding Reas since the start of dinner completely dispersed. For the first time since the two met, they looked comfortable around each other. It seemed that his decision leaving the two alone for a moment was correct.

Although Astrid wanted to ask what happened for the situation to turn like this, he held back. Because there's a chance that the awkward atmosphere between the two might return if he did. How could he destroy this newly built development?

So, he just walked to his seat and sat down.

"Who called?" Reas asked.

"It's the new friend I made today."
