"Well, I don’t have any objections." Bard Walker shook his head lightly and glanced at Flossie Wright and Becca Reyes, "Just to remind you, they are women. If you want to treat them particularly, you can temporarily assign them to the Frogwoman team. They’re pretty envious of Flossie now!"
Ever since the sea king heard about Flossie Wright’s ten rounds in the storm, the female captain had asked Bard if he could find a way to transfer Flossie to the new soldier training. She wanted to keep this sharpshooter, even treating her as a special existence.
However, all this special treatment seemed a bit too much, and with so many eyes in this base, it’s okay for Glenn Hutchinson to make decisions casually because he wasn’t from here and he follows their rules. Plus, no one would gossip about it. But if they were to blatantly favor Flossie, they wouldn’t know how much gossip this would invite.
Now, they could use Glenn Hutchinson as a bridge...
Probably guessing Bard’s intentions, Glenn Hutchinson looked at him meaningfully and responded calmly, "I’m also pretty envious."
Bard choked and his eyes suddenly became elusive.
Was that what he meant?
"Have you got your eyes on her?" Bard approached him and asked in a low voice.
Having known each other for many years, Bard and his wife have introduced countless potential partners to Glenn Hutchinson, but he never lacked women who pursued him. Glenn had seen all sorts of women, no matter how excellent they were, he wouldn’t even take a look. Even if he did look out of politeness because he was tired of the nagging, he looked at them as if he was checking goods.
He attracted women with just his face and demeanor, but merely waved them off before they could confess their feelings, leaving countless hearts broken.
However, ever since Bard accidentally learned about Glenn’s family background, he’d never dared to introduce anyone to him again.
Frankly speaking, any woman placed before him had every right to not catch his eye!
"What do you think?" Glenn smiled and started to play mind games with Bard.
What do you think...
Damn, if he doesn’t say it himself, who knows?!
"Comrade Bard Walker!" Before Bard could continue the topic, Glenn Hutchinson put on a serious face to interrupt him, quickly glanced at the amphibious reconnaissance team standing obediently, raised his eyebrows at him, "Work is important!"
"Damn! You’re ruthless!" Bard’s face changed color, he clenched his teeth and cursed, then walked toward his team, visibly annoyed.
Glenn was so clever that he managed to pique Bard’s curiosity with just a few words. When Bard wanted to probe further, he firmly pushed him back, leaving Bard frustrated without any way to vent. He only regretted not being able to drag him to a secluded place and interrogate him before resuming work.
So, this man was absolutely...
Because the two were speaking in such low tones and so mysteriously, even those who could lip-read were kept in the dark from all angles. So no one knew what they were discussing, and in the end, all they saw was Bard returning with a visible air of unhappiness.
Consequently, the two teams thought, probably Captain Hutchinson had irritated Captain Bard somehow.
