บท 150: People Just Like You.

The Alchemist was a woman.

For a whole minute after she sat down, Edvard just stared at her. He had to admit that when he thought about the Alchemist, he either pictured a Man or did not bother to factor in gender at all.

But this woman before him,

This woman was stunning!

Of course, Melinda was more beautiful to him and his heart was still set on her even after she had slapped him because of the Boy toy.

Although it could be argued that Melinda and this woman had their own unique beauties. For one thing, this woman's beauty seemed dark and that had nothing to do with her clothes.

Edvard prides himself on his ability to distinguish the different qualities of beautiful women. He had chosen Karmen to stay close to him because her beauty was wild and dangerous.

She was just the type he wanted watching his back.

And the few times he had seen her spar convinced him of that beyond all reasonable doubt.
