Overlord

[SKYLINE PLAZA: Dean's Villa]

Standing on the paver patio in front of the fire pit, Dean squinted slightly, the light from the flames dancing on his face, revealing an indescribable expression.

"Hello!" A voice from behind him broke the silence. "I see someone isn't in a good mood."

Finn casually sat down in a vacant seat with a glass of wine in hand, his eyebrows raised as he eyed Dean's back.

"So, I wasn't wrong?" he smirked meaningfully. "You are… in a terrible mood."

"The Prime Group accepted Zoren Pierson's request," said Dean quietly but clearly, making Finn nod in understanding.

"Well, that is a surprise! I thought Penny didn't want anything to do with you. Or did she perhaps… have a change of heart about you?" Finn tilted his head slightly to the side. "You've been pursuing her all your youth, after all. I hope her heart softened."
