Although Marcus Monroe had only been at the base for a short time, many people noticed something odd, especially his old subordinates.
His attitude toward Paige Summers was far too intimate!
This wasn't how you were supposed to treat your sweetheart's cousin.
It would make more sense if she were the sweetheart herself!
For a time, the team members who sensed something was wrong didn't know how to react.
As for the workers smelting under Paige's guidance, they couldn't have cared less. For one, they were too busy to pay attention to such matters. For another, even if Marcus Monroe really had fallen for Miss Susie, it was no skin off their back. At most, they just thought the age difference made them a poor match. But since the apocalypse, everyone had seen plenty of strange things; this was nothing.
Paige Summers soon realized something was amiss.
This group of team members had actually begun to openly shun her.
