Thinking about the people who came looking for Miss Sterling yesterday...
Felix Lawrence's heart tightened.
'It's very likely Miss Sterling changed her appearance to escape their notice and blend in with the crowd. I can't expose her.'
So, the words that came to his lips were: "I just didn't expect to see you here. It's such a surprise, and a pleasant one at that!"
He was genuinely happy. Miss Sterling had been missing for over a day, and the ones causing trouble for her were from Sanctyr Base. He had been worried sick.
Miss Sterling was incredibly capable, but this was Sanctyr Base's territory after all. The people after her were from Sanctyr Base, so how could he not be worried?
Besides, Miss Sterling's subordinates hadn't arrived yet. If she had to face Sanctyr Base all by herself, it would probably be very dangerous.
Even though Miss Sterling said she had her own methods, he couldn't help but feel a little worried.
