The Lycan King's Fate Calling novel Chapter 1029

Crystal's POV:

At the start of the video call, Blair greeted Rufus respectfully first, then looked at me and greeted me in a distant tone. His indifferent attitude was in line with the normal treatment of a stranger that he didn't fully trust. No one would believe that he used to know me.

As I studied his familiar face, I wasn't sure if he had also lost his memory.

"Go ahead. Inform him about all the things he needs to know while managing the pack in your stead," Rufus ordered me casually.

I shot him an impatient glance and bit out, "I know." Then I narrated every important matter to Blair, who was listening to me with his full attention.

After that, he asked me to repeat everything once to confirm that I hadn't bluffed about anything.

I inwardly complained that in these past five years, not just Rufus but Blair had also changed drastically. If they stood side-by-side, they truly looked like a pair of emotionless killers.

As this thought crossed my mind, a laughed involuntarily burst from my lips.

A second later, I realized how stupid my action was. Rufus scowled and eyed me as if I was a fool.

I was so embarrassed that I flushed deeply. When I turned my attention back to Blair on the screen, his expression was the same, but he touched his temple with his little finger.

I instantly understood.

That movement! It was a secret signal Blair and I had developed!

So Blair was acting. He must have learned how to mask his emotions from Rufus. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to play such a disgusting character so well.

While Rufus was occupied with something else, I quickly raised my hand and scratched my forehead. A smile flashed across Blair's eyes, but it was so fleeting that it disappeared almost instantly.

My spirits instantly improved. Rufus thought he had the upper hand, but he didn't know that Blair was actually on my side!
