Sylvia's POV:
A trace of embarrassment flashed across Warren's face. He scratched his head and cleared his throat awkwardly. "I noticed that you guys looked agitated back at the banquet, so I figured that you'd plan something tonight."
Hearing this, I too felt a little embarrassed. Warren was sitting right next to Harry at the banquet. I guessed it was really obvious when I discussed with Flora and Harry.
Flora pursed her lips and started grumbling under her breath. Her voice was too low to be heard clearly, but I could tell from the look on her face that she was very unhappy.
Just then, we saw several patrol guards coming towards us from a distance. Warren immediately pulled us into the shadows.
"Are you planning to conduct a secret investigation?" Warren asked in a voice barely above a whisper.
"Yes." I smiled sheepishly. Then I explained everything to him honestly. "There's something wrong with this pack. We just wanted to see what was going on."
"Then I'm going with you," Warren said resolutely.
I hesitated and glanced at Flora. The reason why I didn't tell Warren about it in the first place was because I was worried that Flora would feel awkward if the two of them were forced to stay together.
As though she had read my mind, Flora snorted. "I implore you not to. You're a straight-A student back in school and we definitely don't want to get you into trouble."
"I'm not scared." Warren looked at Flora seriously. "We're a team. We need to stick together."
Flora couldn't seem to find a retort at first. After a long while, she managed to squeeze out a few words. "That's not it... I mean..."
I stood in the background and watched them argue. The more I looked at them, the more I felt that they didn't act as though they had broken up.
"Flora, why on earth are you angry with me? Just talk to me!" Warren begged in a low voice. "We need to make things clear!"
Flora frowned and thought for a while. "Fine. We can talk, but not right now. Don't follow us."
