Laziel choked, and his expression twisted. Meira, who had Darren catching her, was facing his direction, so she caught the expression on his face.
Astonishment bloomed in her chest, and she became hopeful again. She hurriedly steadied herself from Darren's arms, wanting to go after Laziel.
However, the man turned around, clenching his fists before walking away with large strides. Meira frowned. With his speed, she wouldn't be able to catch up with him.
"Are you alright, Miss Meira?" Darren's voice sounded in her ears.
She immediately recovered her senses, silently cursing in her heart. Why did she react like that just because of Laziel? She had switched her target to Darren!
At least this man didn't seem so resistant, avoiding her falling or something like that. There might have been a chance to hook him!
"Mr. Valez…" she said pitifully. "I-I don't want to go back, so can you all bring me along?"
