章 69: 68: What is your agenda?

“Stop disappearing on me like that. Just what were you trying to pull here?” Maria asked, a little too loudly. It caused several curious heads to turn toward the pair.

"Nothing sis. Just a little fun. It's not my fault that you cannot keep up with me in your old age" the teen teaser and his words drew chuckles from the passersby. But it also diluted any thought of interest they might have had in the pair.

After all, it was just a sibling pair fighting with each other. There was no real reason to pay attention to them. And that was the only reason Maria did not tell the kid off for insulting her.

"Don't get your panties in a twist. I promised not to expose you and I didn't. Here, we've reached the bus terminal you wanted to take toward the Grand Canyon'' Alester replied with a soft smile. It looked almost like a genuine smile on the teen's face but it still made Maria suspicious of him.
