Micah stared at the glowing phone screen, and a flutter of excitement stirred in his chest, but accompanied by a small amount of confusion.
Aidan had finally replied. After weeks of silence, there it was: a message.
RiverBridge: Thanks for your tips. How can I help you??
Micah's face filled with a wide smile. But the sudden interest made him a bit apprehensive. From zero reaction to asking about what he wanted, the shift was too abrupt.
He pondered for a bit, biting his bottom lip. Even if there was a catch, he had nothing to lose. Yeah, it was better to seize this chance, even if it turned out to be a trap, than to let it go to waste. Honestly, after his failed past attempts, he couldn't see any breakthrough.
Then he began typing carefully.
RogueOverlord: Oh, I didn't do it to gain anything, Oppa!
His fingers froze over the screen. A second… then two.
Micah gagged.
