Chapter 20: Rumor
Shaan was speechless for a moment and simply shook his head at the sight of it. He suddenly realized that such things were personal matters that were not important for him to know. After all, he didn’t even know those two people, and whatever was happening with the woman had nothing to do with him."
’Never mind, I’d better go to the main kitchen and find something to eat.’
He decided to continue walking down the corridor, choosing to ignore what had just happened and push it out of his mind. However, the same couldn’t be said for the blonde woman. As she walked away from the man, her steps came to a brief halt, and a surprised look crossed her face.
’Damn, it seems this woman is starting to suspect that I might have just heard her conversation.’
Even so, Shaan tried to stay calm and kept walking down the corridor as if nothing had happened. The hazel-eyed woman, watching Shaan’s simple movements, eventually chose to ignore her feelings. She then walked past him briskly without saying a single word.
’Oh God, that was close.’
After walking for a few minutes, Shaan finally reached the main kitchen area. He let out a sigh of relief as he realized he had put some distance between himself and the two figures. Good — at least now he wouldn’t have to be indirectly involved in whatever problem the woman was dealing with, because the last thing he wanted was to be seen as someone who meddled in other people’s business.
’’Well, instead of thinking about that. I’d better start looking for some snacks to eat. Hopefully, there will still be some left.’
"After spending a few minutes in the main kitchen, Shaan managed to find a few remaining protein bars on the food shelves. Nice— at least he still had something to snack on to quiet his growling stomach. Without wasting any time, he grabbed two or three bars and sat down right away."
"Finally. I’m nearly pessimistic that I’ll be able to get a snack," Shaan unwrapped his protein bar excitedly. "Now it’s time to fill my stomach with this snack."
