“A bad girl?” Aaron gasped.
Wendy's keen eyes caught the astonishment in his, and that filled her with tremendous satisfaction.
She nodded in affirmation. “That's right. You could see for yourself that she isn't in school today. We're going to have our monthly test the day after and still, she's playing truant. Hence, it's no mystery why our homeroom teacher doesn't like her. That makes me curious, though, as to what it is that you fancy about her?”
“I like that...” Aaron dragged out that last syllable before he spat out these words in Wendy's anticipatory face. “It's none of your d*mn business.”
Wendy was appalled. She bit down on her lip as she could scarcely believe how crassly Aaron would speak to a girl like herself. “Aaron, you...”
Aaron put a finger in his ear and cut her off. “You really are kind of annoying.”
“I think I'm done here. You should go get busy on your own as I have other places that I'd like to visit.”
This was his second time in Chanaea. Truth be told, opportunities for him to leave Turlen were far and few in between, so he was certainly going to make the most of this one to explore this sprawling country.
While everyone considered Chanaea to be one of the four major nations with a long and illustrious past, it was Turlen that was truly the most ancient and historically rich one of all.
The only difference was that Turlen had always been reclusive and constantly avoided contact with other countries. That was the reason why it was hard to pick up on their imprints in the history books.
Undeterred, Wendy chased after him when she saw him about to leave.
“I know Jadeborough pretty well, Aaron. Would you like for me to be your guide?”
“No, that won't be necessary.” He only felt that this girl talked too much.
Were they in Turlen, he would have grown bored toying with girls like her for a day before he kicked her to the curb. It was a pity that they were in Chanaea where he could not blatantly employ force against anyone for fear of blowing his own cover.
He tried to repress his own irritability and fished out a note which he passed along to Wendy. “Here's a tip. You may go now.
When he saw no reaction from the stupefied Wendy, he stuffed the money into her hands before he turned and strode off.
