Furtive Ignominy (COMPLETED)

CHAPTER 29

Y/n saw Satoru's shoulder stiffened and his jaw clenched, the sound of his candy breaking in his mouth was enough for her to be alerted that the call brought no good news.

"What do you mean there's two? Liaison?" Satoru asked with panic in his voice. Even though he was trying his best not to show any hint of panic, that didn't go unnoticed by Y/n who heard the uneasiness in his voice in that question.

She tried to give her food focus but his intonation made it hard for her to do so since she could hear the sound of his finger repeatedly stabbing the table.

["We're not sure yet but we detected variation from the evidence we had gathered. Those proofs lead to two suspects. We will send you further details."] It was Inumaki Toge, his junior officer, he was talking with.

"I'll go—"

["Please don't. We don't know when and where the Satsujin are right now. We can't be trusty. We'll send the files in your email."]

Satoru closed the phone and took a deep breath. He smiled a bit at Y/n before he frantically darted his head left and right as if he was searching for something.

"What's wrong?" Y/n asked, she doesn't have any idea of what's going on but she could feel it, whatever they were talking about, it was not good at all.

"No, no, nothing. After this, let's go shopping." Satoru smiled.

If Y/n hadn't heard the conversation earlier, she could have been fooled by that cheeky smile of his.

After they eat, they proceed to the cyber zone where Satoru ordered bits and pieces of computers along with other security cameras. The staff said that they would deliver it to his place but Satoru said that he would come back for it as soon as they organized it.

And the second thing was Y/n's belongings. Satoru dragged Y/n to multiple branded stores, and they didn't get out of that mall without buying even a single bottle of perfume. He almost hoarded everything from a drugstore for a hygiene kit for Y/n and he also ordered a few bunches of clothes for her.

"Satoru, this is too much!" Y/n whispered to him.

"We don't know when we will go out again so it's better to have stocks..." he mumbled while carrying bags and bags of stuff. "And, it's my treat. I can still see you wobbling. Are your hips in pain?"

Y/n could only throw him a dirty look.

Now, they were in a supermarket, strolling around with 2 big carts.

"Satoru... don't you think it's too much?" Y/n started to sweat from nervousness.

People at the baggage area started to watch them as they entered the grocery store since they were the only ones who had lots of branded baggage. Not only that, ladies were all looking giddily at Satoru who was clearly attracted to him.

His features clearly got their attention, he was tall and even though he was wearing his cap and glasses, he didn't hide his perfect nose and lips. Not to mention he was wearing a black tight tshirt that hugged his perfect body.

Y/n groaned internally as she remembered that he wanted to use his Bentley car because it would not get any attention—of course not if they look at the brand— because of its simplicity but he didn't know that he was the one who would get all the attention they didn't need.

Satoru started to hoard all the sweets stuffs he laid his eyes upon on his cart and Y/n couldn't help but slap his hand off of another bottle of flavored candies.

"What are you doing?" she hissed. "I thought we're here to buy goods?!"

"We do! And I'm here buying my goods."
