Bab 2002: Finding Noah (6)

Noah would never refuse a mission given by Sarah, but this time he had a nagging feeling that she has a hidden agenda and he had to question her.

"Is that an order?"

Sarah's irritation flared. Why is Noah such a baby?

"Yes! I'm ordering you to go down and protect Chloe tonight.", Sarah said and paused before adding: "And don't you dare disclose to anyone that you are with her because of a mission."

"As someone who wears this…" He gestured toward his black uniform. "She will know that I'm there on business."

Sarah shrugged. "And that is fine. You can tell her that you've got insider's information that there will be a commotion and you decided to ensure her safety. Personally."

Noah's eyes widened when he realized how that would make things worse. If he tells that story to Chloe, it will appear that he is super-interested in her. Ah, how did he find himself in this situation?
