Chapter 24: Eleanor
The morning after that unnerving dinner, I found out that my housemate went on another mission again through Allen, which I haven't heard from for a while now.
I planned to lounge in the Sanctum and continue reading books when I received a message from the UAO that my house was already finished. They required me to sign some documents and receive the key to my renovated home.
Feeling excited, I jumped out of the couch and bolted out the door.
An hour later, I was mesmerized by my fully furnished new home. It was totally different from the old one, but it was more pleasant and cleaner. It stood out from the lines of old and crowded houses in the street.
The neighbors peeking out their windows were trying to gain my attention by gossiping louder than before, but I didn't spare them another glance.
I walked in, feeling proud. This new modern house is mine now. I laughed. I should start packing my things in the Sanctum and move here right away.
With that in mind, I headed to the NSA to ask permission to move out. I saw Etienne in the lobby. Our eyes met. He smiled and waved his hand, then, he began walking toward me.
"Jade, you're not going to train with that arm, right?" Etienne asked softly, but there was a warning in his voice.
I shook my head in response.
"Thank goodness," the pretty guy sighed in relief.
"I'm here to see someone."
