Endless Evolution: Last Star

Chapter 496 Glass (Part 2)

Adam and Tron continued to discuss something, while Silvana reached the spectator room and sat down at the table, joining Dahla and Riska.

They said nothing and only cast occasional glances at Silvana's neck.

She would never have let anyone see the bruise, but... she didn't know about it, and this morning she didn't have time to notice it. She woke up, looked at Adam, and made him breakfast as she knew he was going to have a hard practice soon.

'Wait... Why are they staring at me so intently?' Silvana internally muttered, feeling uncomfortable under their gazes.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Riska shook her head and pulled a folding mirror out of her pocket, revealing it in front of Silvana.

Silvana's eyes went wide when she saw a distinct bruise on her neck in the reflection. She immediately realized where it came from, and her face turned red with shame.

Riska and Dahla glanced at each other, satisfied smirks appearing on their faces.

"So..." Dahla smiled slyly as she leaned forward, eyeing Silvana curiously, "It looks like you decided to skip the vanilla part and go straight to something more interesting. I approve of that."

Silvana was embarrassed, but that didn't stop her from realizing the hidden meaning in Dahla's words, but it only made her face even redder.

It seemed like steam was ready to come out of her ears with goosebumps, running all over her body.

"No! No! No!"

Silvana cried out, quickly waving her hands in front of her.

"We haven't had anything, and we're not having anything! Sexual relations between Phantom and Operator recommended to avoid!" Silvana spoke as if she was reading the rulebook, though, in her situation, it made things worse.

Neither of them believed it, not one of them anymore.

Dahla chuckled with a sly smirk. A predatory glint passed across her eyes as she asked: "Oh, sure, no Phantom and Operator have ever been in a relationship or fucked, yeah let's pretend that's the case." Dahla waved her hand nonchalantly, "Then, would you be so kind as to tell me where that bruise came from?"

Riska chuckled with a kind smile on her face.

"Oh, that's sweet, but what you did was silly. How can you say that? If Phantom and Operator don't get along, it's clear in the first few days. Then they look for a replacement, but this is clearly not about you and Adam. He treasures you very much, but... you care for him even more, don't you?"

Silvana looked away, she was too embarrassed to meet their eyes.

"Yeah... I'm just stupid... I'll never say things like that again, it was the stupidest thing I've ever done in my life. I'm lucky he took control of the whole situation like he always does..." Silvana whispered, at the last words, she bit her lip.

Dahla smirked as she placed her palm under her chin like a high society lady.

"Well, well, so that bruise on your neck wasn't a punishment but your routine? Damn, you two perverts."

Dahla was doing her best to embarrass Silvana even more, until that moment.

Suddenly, Silvana shot a sharp glance at Dahla, and the corners of her lips curled up into a satisfied grin.

"Well, well, I'd better not bring up that topic if I were you, or else..." Silvana narrowed her eyes, staring intently at Dahla, "Tron might find out what you were doing with his tissues."

Dahla was stunned, frozen with a static expression on her face for a long moment. She realized that Silvana saw her, for her, it was a real embarrassment. Especially since Silvana was the Operator and she was the K4-Phantom.

Riska, who was watching this scene, smiled weakly and nodded.

'Good, Silvana knows how to stand up for herself, and someone finally fought back against Dahla. Well, I wonder what will happen in the remaining time.'

Then, she looked at Adam and Tron, who were ready to start their first fight.

Silvana glanced at Adam with deep, thoughtful eyes, as she touched her neck.

'Maybe Dahla's right about something, this can't be called anything ordinary, but... I provoked it myself and... I've never seen a gaze like Adam's before. There's no way he'd give me up, that's for sure.'
