Bab 39: Lurking in the Shadows

After exchanging greetings, Claude eventually parted ways with Marcellus and Winter.

The two carried on with their previous conversation. To avoid attracting attention, they took a less crowded route on their way out of the building. They should pay attention to those who know that she is hanging out with him, and since meeting like this is important, they should also be mindful of how they act around each other.

That being said, Winter tries to distance herself from Marcellus when others are around. But even then, they are not letting up with the teasing and banter.

"Seriously, we should lessen the number of times we meet. How are you going to go on dates at this rate?" she brought up once more, addressing the topic as if it was the most normal thing to do.

"You know, you're the first ever girl who encouraged me to flirt around some more. Others would want me all for themselves," he pointed out with an amused expression.
