"Hey!" Sabrina was still calling out to Kingston. She had already become comfortable with him and no longer felt the need to be too formal around him." Assistant Yates, say something. Don't tell me that even you, the professional private bodyguard of Master Sebastian who is known for your shooting skills, couldn't get a result as good as mine. Don't tell me I managed to hit nine out of ten!"
Kingston remained silent. 2
"No need to be embarrassed, Assistant Yates. I told you that I'm good at this. I'm just gifted with the talent for shooting, losing to me isn't something to be ashamed of..."
Kingston had known Mrs. Ford for such a long time, for six whole years! His impression of her had always been good since he first met her. To him, she was a realistic person with composure, but he had never realized how odd she was until now.
"Mrs. Ford!" he shouted. "Do...do you know what ‘off-target’ means?"
"Pfft!" Far away from them on the other side of the shooting range, Alex erupted into laughter.
Next to him, Jane hit him gently. "Alex! Sabrina is still a little girl in her twenties, don't laugh at her like that! She will be embarrassed."
Alex reached out to grab her by the waist. "Why? Do you like her?"
Jane nodded. "I have taken a liking to that little girl since I first met her. I don't have a family but she feels like family to me. What's wrong, Alex? Are you jealous?"
She felt his arm tightened around her waist. Others' impression on Alex had always been that he was a gentleman who never showed his emotions, but Jane, who had been by his side for six years now, knew how domineering he truly was. Sometimes she felt that she was the only one who knew the truth as to why Sebastian and Alex are such close friends. They were like sworn brothers. It was because the two shared similar personality traits, ruthless and cold-hearted like wolves. The only difference was that Sebastian's exterior leaned towards composure while Alex's appearance made him seem more gentle.
"Of course I am jealous!" Alex's chilling glare pieced into Jane's. "You can only be mine, woman!"
