Chapter 51: Being Manipulated
All the Lieutenants and Generals in charge for this year’s test were present to see how everything would go.
Zach spotted Keira who seemed to pause and directly looked at him.
He sighed, he was the conservative type of man and he hated woman doing or initiating the first move on men. He still believed that man should do the chasing and not the other way around.
He had experienced it before during youth and the moment a woman confessed to him, he automatically got turned off by it, so it the end there’s no progress because he didn’t take part in such things. He was direct and would express how he felt immediately, not leaving the other party hanging around, so she could spare the effort and change the course of her sight from him.
The thing he hated the most was being manipulated... And he could sense that Keira had that tendency; manipulating people according to her will.
’Is she looking directly at me?’ Zach asked inwardly while his gaze never left Keira’s spot.
Torin got distracted with Zach’s sighing and followed where he was staring.
’The heck,’ he mused with an arched brow. Torin was the best among Zach’s men, so it’s given that he’s quick-witted to put the pieces together. He confirmed that it was Keira that Zach was referring to previously and not Rizie.
"Bro, so what happened to Rizie’s crush? I wonder if he is affected or not because I’m sure by now Rizie is making her bold moves or if not boldly but subtly that will make the man go crazy, thinking too much to the point that he will have dark circles and look like a zombie because of the lack of sleep, right? Too much thinking about something means he likes Rizie too?" Torin murmured at Zach’s ear, full of intentional teasing.
Torin was too curious about what was Zach thinking but the latter did not answer him and fixed his eyes on the candidates as they prepared to take the final round.
’What is this? Ignoring the topic?’ Torin wanted to voice out.
