Jocelyn Carrington stuck out her chest, emphasizing, "We just bumped into each other on the road!"
"Coincidentally, we also met on the road," said Flossie Wright with a raised eyebrow and a teasing smile, looking at Goldchain, "Right?"
Immediately, Goldchain replied subconsciously.
It was only after the echo of his words dissipated that Goldchain jumped in shock, not knowing why he had obeyed her command. Slightly hesitant, Goldchain turned to look at Perry Reed on the steps.
At this moment, Perry Reed had already opened his umbrella and was walking down, following a straight path to Flossie Wright’s side.
To shelter her from the rain.
Although Jocelyn Carrington was initially angry, she was dumbstruck by the events that followed.
This man, who emanated a powerful aura, was usually cold, had sinister eyes and appeared highly dangerous, was actually holding an umbrella for Flossie Wright...so intimately?
What was their relationship?
Glancing sideways at Perry Reed, watching his calm and collected demeanor, Flossie Wright’s lips twitched slightly.
And then, she looked away.
Shrugging, Flossie Wright asked the two of them, "Is there anything else?"
Jocelyn Carrington was taken aback, too shocked to utter a word.
Watching the unfolding events, Belinda Nichols too remained silent.
There was a brief pause, and seeing that they both remained silent, Flossie Wright said, "If there’s nothing else, I’m going to get breakfast."
They could not afford to move in a crowd, and given her feeling of having a heavy head and light feet, she did not have the energy to discuss other topics with them.
Having said that, she intended to leave.
Before she could move, she heard Belinda Nichols’ voice.
Looking up, Flossie Wright was puzzled.
Pausing a moment, Belinda Nichols scrutinized her with a furrowed brow, her tone slightly stiff, "Do you have money?"
Flossie Wright was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.
Hearing Belinda Nichols mention money, Jocelyn Carrington quickly caught on and hastily added, "We’re all out of money, we haven’t even had breakfast."
In less than one day, they had turned one hundred into a thousand bucks. As soldiers, they dared not steal, let alone rob, and had to turn to other ways, but money came slowly that way.
Having barely scraped together the thousand, after fulfilling their mission in the amusement park, they found themselves penniless, even buying a bottle of water was exceedingly difficult.
They had bumped into each other in the morning: Jocelyn Carrington had stopped Belinda Nichols hoping to get some money together, but so far they had come up with no plan.
Now that they had run into Flossie Wright, and the man beside her seemed quite wealthy, so...
"No money."
Before Flossie Wright could speak, Perry Reed replied coolly.
Regardless of their attitudes just now, given that they were also in the Forces, he had ample reason to reject them.
Flossie Wright had been fine when she hadn’t joined the military, but now that she had, he was not particularly fond of any of them.
Jocelyn Carrington gaped in surprise.
It was hard to believe that his reply would be so straightforward.
Sensing that Perry Reed was annoyed, Flossie Wright couldn’t help but laugh. She waved at them, "Let’s go, I’ll treat you guys to breakfast."
It was only a meal, she wouldn’t let them go hungry.
Having said that, she left towards the nearest Breakfast Shop, with Perry Reed obligingly holding the umbrella.
Jocelyn Carrington hesitated, but before she could swallow her pride, Belinda Nichols at her side had already followed them, leaving.
With no other option, Jocelyn Carrington quickly followed suit.

Trailing at the back, Goldchain watched Sliver holding the umbrella for someone else in bewilderment, the shock hadn’t left his eyes yet.
Something was off...
Sliver holding an umbrella for someone was utterly unnatural!
