Visiting the Overthinker

When her bodyguards saw me leaving the car, they eyed me with a hint of suspicion. They moved from their spot and did their duty. One of them went to check on Marika while the other stopped me from leaving.

As soon as the man who checked on Marika gave the signal to the other guy, he stopped blocking my way and returned to the car.

Seconds later, they speed past me. But since it still needed to accelerate, I got a glimpse of Marika. She had the car windows down and stared at me with the same complicated expression.

It’s like a mixture of guilt, anger and relief.

Well, she’s probably still processing what exactly happened. So, instead of showing her an indifferent expression, I put on the same smile as earlier and waved at her.

Perhaps unconsciously, I also saw her waving back right before she disappeared from my sight.

I watched until the car made a turn at the end of the street before continuing to my original destination. The Miura Household.
