Bab 319: Listen

"No matter what I tell you, you would not be able to see her tonight at the earliest, tomorrow morning, so can you just chill a bit?" she asked as she patted the couch beside her genturing him to sit beside her.

Not knowing how to refuse, he directly sat on the nearer arm chair to him as he turned to face her.

Sophia let out a small sigh, her eyes searching his face for a moment before she spoke again. "Marcus, please, just this once. It's not like I'm asking you to do something extreme," she pleaded, her voice laced with a touch of vulnerability. "I can be considered a beauty, is it really that hard to sit beside me for a while?"

Marcus weighed his options, knowing that his priority was to find out any information that could help locate Diana. Reluctantly, he nodded and took a seat beside her, his gaze directed slightly away from her face. He wanted to remain focused and not get swayed by any emotions that might arise in this intimate setting.
