Chapter 14: A Loss.
Creed stood still, his mind struggling to process what he had just heard. His sharp eyes were locked onto the small girl in front of him, searching for some sign that she was joking.
But no.
She wasn't laughing, she wasn't smirking, she wasn't even faking a cough to cover up the awkwardness!
She was just standing there, shifting nervously from foot to foot, her head slightly lowered, her delicate fingers playing with the hem of her absurdly expensive blue armor.
And most damning of all, she was avoiding his gaze!
Creed felt something deep inside him crack. His mind raced as he tried to make sense of the situation.
This girl...
This elegant, beautiful, rich looking girl was broke?
No.
No, no, no.
That didn't make any sense!
