As soon as Nick explained what had happened, Steve's rage vanished.
It was like a bucket of cold water was emptied over him.
His angry sneer turned into shock.
And then, it turned into anger again, but this time, his anger was directed inward.
He knew he had messed up, and he felt like the biggest idiot.
"Sorry," Steve said in a low voice. "Let's go back to the tutor. You can explain the details there."
Nick wasn't surprised by Steve's reaction.
Steve might have forgotten himself at the moment due to all of the pressure and uncertainty surrounding him, but he was still an adult with decades of experience.
He could see that his anger was misplaced and that he had messed up.
Was Nick angry?
Of course.
One of Nick's teammates had uncovered his spot due to idiocy, putting him in potentially life-threatening danger.
