135 Uncomfortable

Wu Genji sent her partner-in-crime, Yuan Ning, a message, but he responded bluntly. What was up with him? She wondered. 

He was often neutral, and he didn't show anything except cool detachment. He was changing, but it was just as hard to figure him out as before. There was no telling what he thought. 

It was evening, so Wu Genji went to the casino to work a shift. It was one of her father's investments, but while he was out of the city, as usual, for work, she took over the business. It was better than working with her bastard father in a city where she didn't know anyone. He treated her more like a chess piece than a daughter.
