He should be grateful for having this name!
"What do you want, exactly?"
Flossie gritted her teeth, struggling to suppress the annoyance and anger within her as she squinted and scrutinized the thick-skinned man before her.
He was composed, calm, his motives unreadable and inscrutable.
Invariably, he was the type of presence that gave people headaches.
"To sleep together."
Glenn Hutchinson slightly raises his eyebrows, uttering words that left no room for refusal.
"What if I don’t agree?"
Softly counter-questioning, the coldness in Flossie’s eyes intensified.
"Do you want to fight then?"
A question thrown back at her, yet Glenn Hutchinson’s meaning was crystal clear.
He was determined, and if Flossie had no choice but to resist, their only option was to confront each other hard. If it came to a direct fight, Flossie stood no chance to win. Even if she tried to sabotage him behind his back, it would not necessarily lead to a victory. Thus if Glenn Hutchinson was determined, Flossie was doomed to lose.
"Let go of me first."
After some contemplation, it was evident that Flossie had regained her calm. However, the moment Glenn loosened his grip ever so slightly, she quickly flipped them both over, pressing him beneath her with explosive speed.
"I’ve warned you, don’t try anything on me," she said, her elbow resting across his neck, her eyes half-closed exuding danger. A lazy and wild aura intermingling, making her increasingly inscrutable. Her voice was low and heavy, "I don’t want to have anything to do with you."
Glenn’s eyes darkened, and the next moment he was pulling Flossie back around, his gaze boring into her cold face, a chill aura washing over him, "Are you sure?"
Their gazes intertwined, the dark depths of their eyes, filled with chilling intent, reflecting each other’s faces.
Before Flossie could answer, Glenn suddenly released her. A flick of his hand sent something unseen whizzing across the room, plunging the space into complete darkness as the lights disappeared.
"Get some sleep."
Blinded in the dark, Flossie heard Glenn’s voice and rolled her eyes before snatching up all the blankets, giving up on further bickering with him.
The dim light revealed her movements, which were somehow amusing to Glenn.
Seeing himself as mature, Glenn managed to win back some blankets from Flossie with the rationale "No training tomorrow morning".
They finally reached a compromise and "happily" went to sleep.
As someone who always had regular sleep habits, Flossie was not perturbed by Glenn’s presence, especially considering he was not as clingy as Becca Reyes had been during her heartbreak. The bed was big enough to be split into two in military quarters. Considering Glenn nonexistent, Flossie closed her eyes and drifted away.
However, the night was far from peaceful.
Glenn coming to her room was not as simple as sharing a bed. After everyone was sound asleep, he stealthily slipped out for a moment and returned shortly, bringing back with him a chilling cold.
Flossie, who slept lightly, opened her eyes when he left and on his return. Apart from that, she made no movements throughout the night. Pretending to be unaware of everything, she left all matters to him.
