“Ah, Ahaha—Young Master.”

I can’t believe I met the person I don’t want to meet the most late at night. I forced a smile and turned my head. As expected, Young Master Edrick was already facing the stairs where I stood. There was no sign, and I don’t know when he came down.

While repeating the movement for a while, he just raised his eyes with his face on my shoulder.

I was distracted by the drowsy eyes flashing dark green on a dangerous street.
