Nora Lowell was still wearing a combat uniform today, but she had put some effort into her appearance. She had always been confident in her looks and felt especially radiant at that moment. 'Most men are visual creatures. Even if he's rational, my appearance should at least score me a few points.'

Although it was fleeting, Nora Lowell still caught it and was secretly delighted.
Sheldon Reid was a military man, so he didn't speak with the convolutions of a politician. Besides, for someone of his status, beating around the bush was a waste of time. He got straight to the point and asked Nora Lowell for her terms.
"I wish to serve under your command and, when the time is right, return to Norgate!"
