"I'm fine. I helped out an injured person on the way back." Stefan smiled. "Don't worry; not many people can hurt me in a place like Sea City."
At that, Gwen was instantly silent. After a while, she said gently, "Okay. Come back quickly."
She did not wait for Stefan's response as she hung up.
Stefan furrowed his eyebrows, a little surprised that she hung up on him so quickly. Gwen was usually very polite to strangers and people she was not close to. Only with people who she was very close to would she show her true character, doing things like hanging up on them before they could finish a sentence.
"Boss…" At that moment, Kurt said feebly, "Don't you think you've kind of exposed your identity a little by what you said just now? Gwen thinks you're a foreigner, being your first time here in Sea City, yet you said that no one could hurt you here."
He cast a careful glance at Stefan, saying, "Do you think she'll realize who you are?"
Stefan furrowed his brows. He realized that ever since he met someone familiar from the past, his attitude has resumed its previous arrogance.
"I don't think so…" He hesitated for a while before sighing in his heart. Why had he not learned modesty and stayed low-profile after sharing the same body with Steven?
"Boss, are you going to look for Gwen? Do you want me to give you a ride?" Kurt stood up.
Stefan looked at his broken arm and smiled. "Do you think you could give me a ride in this state?"
Kurt blushed. "Sorry, this came out of habit. I'll…make a move. Go and look for Gwen. We'll contact each other in the future."
He was about to turn and leave when Stefan stopped him. "Are you in a hurry?"
Kurt shook his head. He was supposed to be a delivery man, but after he broke his arm, he lost his job. Where was he in a hurry to go to?
