Bab 595: Strictly professional

She was slightly stunned by his reaction to her seduction. She was absolutely sure that he was attracted to her too. But after he subtly rejected her advances, she felt slightly embarrassed by her actions.

But if she failed with her other mission with him, she still had one more she needed to focus on. Maybe he was not the man for him at this point. She decided to put her full attention instead to her work.

"Oh, right?" Eida returned to her previous position in the bar and took another sip of her beer, trying to get a grip of herself. 

She pretended to be clueless that he had just rejected her. She had never been in this kind of situation before. Usually, she was the one turning her back on an offer, not the other way around.

She suddenly felt awkward, thinking that she had misread his earlier actions. It would seem that she was the only one attracted to him. Or otherwise, he was better at controlling his urges than she was.
