After making their new plans, Eric started to suspect something.
'When did Iris get a rich friend? Why didn't I know about it?' Countless questions filled Eric's mind.
He knows Iris so well. She's not the type of person who has friends outside their Guild. Even within the Guild, she only sticks to a few people. She's pretty introverted.
But now, she claims this vast, fancy mansion belongs to her friend.
Eric couldn't shake off his suspicions.
'Did she really know a rich person, or did she buy this place without telling me?' He narrowed his eyes, looking at her. Unable to contain it any longer, he finally asks, "Iris... Can I ask you something?"
"Hmm," she nods.
"—You said this is your friend's house?" Eric looks at her curiously.
Iris knew Eric would ask about this eventually. She had no plans to hide her relationship with Xavier.
"Brother Eric, I want you to meet someone, the house owner," Iris said.
