Chapter 58: The Gloaming Era
"I know you’re not from this world," Veronica stated, making Zephyr’s eye twitch slightly.
"What do you mean?!" Zephyr barked, putting on an act of confusion and anger.
Madam Veronica merely rolled her eyes, not deigning to humor him. She simply continued with her earlier statement, "What? Do you think a spatial tremor like the one that brought you here would not be felt by anyone?"
"Be thankful I was the one who picked up the traces and not someone else." She snapped, "Your present situation would not have been this rosy."
"So you want me to thank you?!" Zephyr snapped back, stifled by the woman’s know-it-all and fully-in-control attitude.
She scoffed, "Yes. You should be thanking me. I had to cover the messy trail you and your partner left behind while bumbling around."
Zephyr stilled. She knew about Smiling Devil! How long had she been watching them?!
"You’ve been watching me." Zephyr stated, matter-of-factly.
She dismissed the glowing spell model in the air, exposing herself to Zephyr without a care as she walked to the chair by the small desk near the covered window.
