Chapter 897 The Woman He Likes
Christian pursed his lips. He was looking at the monitor screen, following Cassie's every movement. There was a deep frown on his gorgeous face.
"She was supposed to stay at her sleeping quarters together with the other trainee. Where is she going?" Christian asked himself.
Blue was also watching the scene in front of him. He could feel the uneasiness of his master. What if Cassie and Scarlet would create another trouble in the Fiery Eagles Training Camp?
Christian had two options. Either he would report this to the training team right now for them to stop Cassie, making her return to their sleeping quarters, or just let her be, observing what she would do next.
Since Christian was also curious about what she was thinking, he chose the latter. He would wait for a while before making a move. In the meantime, he would observe her.
Meanwhile, in the training camp, oblivious of the fact that her twin brother was watching her, Cassie continued moving around the vicinity of the training camp.
She was searching for Flint's quarter. She didn't know that she was not supposed to leave the sleeping quarters unless they would be called by the Trainers and Screening Team.
Her roommates hid the book of rules from Cassie. So she thought she could freely roam around during nighttime. Besides, today was just their arrival. The training and screening activities will start tomorrow.
Cassie had been admiring Flint for a while now. And she wanted to grab this opportunity to be close to him. First, she planned on apologizing to him for wearing improper clothes on the first day. Second, she wanted to have a casual conversation with him, asking him how he had been.
Cassie continued her search until she found Flint, who was talking to his comrade Justin, also known as Ten. She decided to wait until Flint was all alone before approaching him. At the same time, she listened to their conversation.
"Ninth, what do you think about this batch? Do you think Zero will finally acknowledge one of them? Who do you think is the greatest contender among the applicants?" Ten asked Flint.
Flint took his time in answering his question. He was trying to assess the current applicants. After a few seconds, Flint shook his head.
"Zero is hard to please. His standard is very high. As of now, I can't tell who has a great advantage among them. But I am sure who will be last on the list." Flint crumpled his face as someone popped up in his mind. It was Cassie.
"Who are you talking about?" Justin asked, although he already had an idea.
"Who else? Of course, the mini-skirt girl. I don't know why she is here? Did she use some backing for her to be included in the final list? I think a big man was backing her from behind." Flint couldn't hide the displeasure in his tone.
"Oh men, don't judge the book by its cover. You never know. I believe Applicant 0018 has great strength," Justin said, chuckling. His eyes gleamed as he remembered Cassie.
Flint just raised his eyebrow and said, "Strength? What kind of strength?"
"Her beauty!" Justin declared with a silly smile on his face. Then he winked at Flint.
Flint almost hit him on his forehead after hearing his response. But Justin easily dodged his attack.
"Don't joke around. I'm serious." Flint scowled at his comrade.
Justin just let out another chuckle. "Why don't you admit it? She's beautiful, isn't she? Furthermore, she has blue eyes. You love blue eyes right?" Justin continued teasing Flint.
Flint's expression turned uglier when he heard Justin's teasing. "I didn't say I love someone who has blue eyes. I only like someone… and she also has blue eyes!"
"And she is the most beautiful woman in my eyes!" Flint added.
"Okay, man! Just relax. You are still in love with her. But you haven't confessed your feelings yet. When are you going to tell her?" Justin was the only person among the Fiery Eagles who knew about Flint's feelings towards Ella.
Flint had become silent. He and Ella had been friends for more than a decade. But he never confessed his feelings for her as he was worried that their friendship would be broken. Aside from that, he hadn't mustered up his courage yet to confess.
Ella was still studying abroad and she hadn't come back yet. But Flint was planning to confess and be brave once Ella returned to the City of Empire.
"I will confess… soon," Flint mumbled in a low voice.
Justin tapped his back and encouraged him. "Good luck, my friend. I know you can do it. It's time for you to be brave enough and tell her about your feelings. Act now, otherwise, you might regret it."
Flint could only heave a deep sigh. "Fine. Just leave me alone. Go and make some rounds. Let's check the sleeping quarters of the trainees."
"Okay, let's go," Justin said in agreement.
The two men already left but Cassie still remained in her hiding spot. Her heart clenched as she heard it. Flint already had someone in his heart. She wondered who the lucky woman was.
Her cheerful mood had disappeared again. She felt dejected and disheartened. Was she too late?
'Master, don't be sad. Cheer up! You still have hope. Have you heard their conversation? Flint didn't confess to the woman.' Scarlet was consoling her and at the same time, encouraging her.
'Are you sure about that? Do you think I can win his heart?' Cassie asked her, feeling doubtful.
'Of course, you can! There is nothing impossible when it comes to you, especially if you put your heart into it.'
'Ok, Scarlet! I will do my best!'
While Scarlet and Cassie were talking through their mind link, Flint was already on the way to the sleeping quarters of the trainees. Cassie had forgotten about it as she was distracted a while ago, just thinking about Flint and the woman he liked.
When Flint entered the sleeping quarters, the trainees immediately stopped what they were doing and lined up. Flint conducted an inspection and did a roll call. He immediately noticed that someone was missing.
With a dark expression on his face, he asked them, "Where is Applicant 0018?"
