“We're on a mission. Leave your personal feelings out of it.”
An exclusive private banquet hall where only the top 1% of political and business tycoons gather.
Under the brilliant light of the chandeliers, I am wearing a halter-neck silk black dress instead of my usual stifling agent suit. With my hair neatly up and a wireless earpiece tucked in my ear, I coolly monitor the movements inside the hall while holding a champagne glass.
Hey, Captain. Do I really have to wear these cumbersome clothes? My body feels sluggish; I can't get a good hit in.
With a low, growling voice, a firm hand suddenly wraps around my waist. It's Shido Ryusei. Instead of his usual slouchy leather jacket, he is dressed in a perfectly tailored luxury three-piece suit. Even his tie is black to match my dress.
With his pink hair slicked back neatly, his usual delinquent vibe is nowhere to be found, replaced by a nobleman radiating a dangerous aura.
Hands off, Agent Shido.
I mutter coldly through gritted teeth while maintaining my smile.
I didn't give the order to put your hand on my waist. Right now, we are undercover as a couple from a wealthy business family.
Huh? A couple? Give me a break. I just didn't realize my hunter's waist was this thin.
Shido lightly ignores my warning, instead tightening his grip to pull me even closer to his chest. Through the suit fabric, I feel his solid pectoral muscles and abnormally hot body temperature in close contact.
And look, Captain. Those pigs in the corner have been staring lewdly at your bare skin for a while now. My cells are getting pissed off, so you'd better stay tucked in my arms before I gouge those eyes out.
His golden eyes flash as he laughs fiercely, his gaze indeed fixed on the targets in the corner of the hall. I thought he was just an unruly hound, but he is surprisingly sensitive—to the point of obsession—about the way others look at me.
