F**king frustrated!
Nancy Phillips frowned tightly, walked forward, and spoke coolly, "I haven’t been involved in the mission this time, so there’s no need to continue, right?"
She had waited all day long, never mentioning Flossie Wright, nor making any judgments about her.
This soldier, now she belonged to Nancy, and the outcome was for Nancy to decide.
But, this soldier used to belong to both of them, and it was better to decide her stay or leave with their mutual consent.
"What’s the rush, there’s still a minute left!"
Already furious and desperately anxious, Nancy Phillips’s words were immediately blocked by Nathan Foster.
Nancy Phillips was speechless.
A minute, has it passed or not, what’s the difference?!
She would wait!
Standing to the side, Nancy Phillips crossed her arms over her chest and monitored the door.
So it was just waiting, she would oblige!
One minute.
Time seemed to fly by especially fast, and the words "12:00" suddenly jumped out on the display.
Time’s up.
No more room for negotiation.
Staring at those digital numbers, Austin Shepherd slumped back into the chair behind him, his handsome brows and eyes not hiding his disappointment.
Although he treated every new recruit equally, without letting personal emotions interfere.
Still, Flossie Wright, who could always bring various surprises, had always been given a certain amount of hope by him.
Unexpectedly...
"Damn it! What the hell is Flossie Wright up to now!"
Beside him, accompanied by a curse, a fist viciously slammed down, startling a loud noise on the desk.
Nathan Foster was furious, his face so gloomy it could drip with darkness.

Alisa Green stood quietly to the side, Nancy Phillips watched the still empty display, her eyes flickering slightly, then returning to complete calm.
Now that the outcome was set, she was in no hurry to speak.
Deathly silence.
The tension in the air dissolved into nothingness, replaced by heaviness and solemnity.
Three people, each with their own thoughts.
"Ding ding ding——"
Suddenly, the cellphone ringtone went off.
It was Austin Shepherd’s phone.
Lying next to the laptop, the phone screen suddenly lit up, displaying a series of numbers.
A landline.
Although not labeled, Austin Shepherd remembered it.
With furrowed brows, Austin Shepherd didn’t hesitate to answer the call and brought the phone to his ear.
"Hello, what’s up?"
"Flossie Wright?"
"Are you sure, it’s just her?"
Suddenly, Austin Shepherd’s expression changed drastically and he stood up from his chair.
Hearing the name "Flossie Wright," Nancy Phillips and Nathan Foster’s attention was entirely captivated.
Seeing his reaction was indeed surprising.
Austin Shepherd, who was always composed and usually in good control of himself, was rarely seen with such an impulsive reaction.
Staring at him puzzled, Nathan Foster muttered to himself, could it be that Flossie Wright has caused trouble somewhere again?
However, Austin Shepherd immediately regained his composed demeanor.
"I understand, we will discuss and make a decision on this matter."
"Uh-huh, where is she now?"
"Alright, leave it at that for now."
"Thanks for your trouble."
After he finished speaking, Austin Shepherd hung up the phone.
"What’s going on?"
Seeing him hang up, Nathan Foster immediately came over and asked anxiously.
