"You—What?!" Cristopher yelled in disbelief; his brows furrowed in confusion.
It was an hour later after Crystal was excused from her superior, it didn't take too long before she managed to find her partner, Cristopher Dencio, on her way in getting the new file. Yet after explaining the whole situation and her decision to partake in the task, she wondered why her partner is so riled up with the fact that she chose to partake in the task.
Since, aren't they already used to dangerous tasks and missions?
"How—why? Didn't I tell you to stay away from the social circle?!" he shouted, earning a few glances from the people around them in a series of whispering chatters. "It's dangerous!" he continued.
A sigh left Crystal's lips, crossing her arms whilst shaking her head. She gave him a look which states 'I don't care' as clear as day.
"Dangerous? Puh-lease, we've been through WORSE, I tell you. I'm sure flipping my hair while flashing some jewelries is much safer than a wild goose chase with the mafia while carrying explosive firearms in a long run." she snickered to herself confidently, a grin evident on her expression.
Cristopher sighed and did a facepalm.
"What? It's true." she continued after observing him.
"The social circle is a jungle, and that jungle consists of resources, predators, and preys. You on one hand, act as the prey, while the other, are the numerous conspiracies and evil intents that will devour you on plain sight!" he explained in a drastic tone which was filled with exasperated concern.
Although it was all left unnoticed by Crystal whom was busy checking her eyeliner in a hand mirror which frustrated him.
"Are you even listening to me?!" he exclaimed once more, earning more unwanted attention from the people around yet still, she was not fazed by his hasty demeanor at all.
"You're being too paranoid, acting as if we're in the center of an open fire. I already accepted the task, there's nothing you can do about it now. Besides, you know how much the Boss hates it when his men back out on their tasks, right?" she questioned, clapping the hand mirror shut and keeping her eyeliner in her pocket.
