Hutchinson’s voice was kept low and was slightly husky, which, when reaching the ears, felt firm and edgy.
"Speak about what?" Flossie’s expression remained unchanged as she asked calmly.
"What do you think?" Hutchinson countered.
Her eyelids narrowed slightly; Flossie moved her head back, away from Hutchinson’s touch.
"Do you want compensation?"
With a smile curling up her lips, Flossie laughed lightly, her question merely symbolic.
At the moment of her inquiry, her eyes curved slightly, filled with a clear light, yet dazzlingly captivating.
The risen sun was already some distance from the sea’s surface, but the light was faint, casting a pale glow on both of them, as if shrouding them in an otherworldly light.
"Why?" His gaze fixed on her, Hutchinson’s tone grew more severe.
"What do you mean?"
Flossie asked coolly, her expression unchanging.
"You know." Hutchinson’s voice was cold as his eyes swept over her rosy lips.
"I know." Flossie took up the conversation.
"So?" he asked softly, knitting his brows.
"As you imagine."
With a smile, Flossie raised her hand and retracted the triangular military dagger.
At the same time, Hutchinson also withdrew his military knife.
The two reached an understanding.
Flossie instantly moved back four or five meters.
Then, steadied herself.
"Glenn Hutchinson." Flossie’s gaze lifted, directly challenging Hutchinson’s unfathomable eyes.
Hutchinson’s gaze rested on her.
"This is your last time letting me."
Her voice was slow and clear; each word seemed like a request, but coming from her, it sounded more like a warning.
She still hadn’t gauged Glenn Hutchinson’s depth.
Who knew what the man’s limits were?
When Flossie began to doubt that there was nothing Hutchinson couldn’t handle, she also began to acknowledge the gap between them.
Always one step short—
Truly frustrating.
His eyes moved slightly; Hutchinson still agreed.
To be fair, he hadn’t let Flossie win anything.
In the sea, it was still Flossie who had the upper hand.
She just couldn’t bring herself to do it.
He also had no desire to hurt her.
If they were to truly fight, nobody knew what the outcome would be.
All he knew was that he hadn’t won.
Continuing to swim backward, Flossie glanced at him and spoke casually before flipping over and swimming straight ahead.
Hutchinson stayed where he was, watching her figure disappear into the sea.
As you imagine?
The previously serious Hutchinson suddenly thought of this phrase, and his face inexplicably softened.
Was it really... as he had imagined?
Flossie swam for about twenty minutes.
As she was nearing the location she had agreed to meet Becca Reyes, her swimming movements gradually ceased.
Having stayed in the water too long, her limbs were nearly numb, unable to feel any temperature.
Flossie still felt a bit warm.
Her lips and her heart.
Burning hot.
Furrowing her brows, Flossie looked up at the blue sky. Without further delay, she took a breath and dove back into the water.
Her mood was somewhat uncontrollably restless.
