Chapter 153: Next Level
"Can I borrow your husband?" Zach asked from the other end of the line...
"What?!" Cielo exclaimed on the phone, and Zach laughed out loud as he continued, "Don’t worry, I will return him before your wedding, I promise."
"No!!! Are you trying to jinx my marriage, Bro? I will only let you borrow him when I have a little sister for Dice!" Cielo irritably hissed.
"I heard he’s good in computers and tactics. Let me just see how good he is, okay? I will send you some files and equipment soon. Work on it with your husband from home... I will not put him out in the field yet since you refuse to let me. But make sure you work on that little sister for Dice properly, because Drey is a candidate for a promotion to a higher rank," said Zach before he ended the call still laughing.
Cielo’s face was crumpled. Getting a higher rank meant spending more time at the Military Base, more missions, and more battles.
She was not even that intimate with Drey yet. And now, when the General was planning to take away her husband, how was she supposed to realize her plans of getting a sister for Dice?!
She had heard that Zach and Torin were up again for a top-secret mission. She was missing those missions with the two of them so much.
"What’s wrong? Why do you look like that?" asked Drey who came in, with Dice sitting on his neck. He immediately noticed the annoyance in Cielo’s expression.
"Your General... is soon giving you an assignment," Cielo dryly mentioned.
"Really? Where is it?" Drey excitedly asked. He was actually excited to go on the real battle. He had discovered that he had a hidden talent in battle tactics. He couldn’t wait for the time when he would be able to apply it in real combat or in a mission.
"You want to go?" Cielo asked.
