Leia obviously sounded flustered as she stammered, "Please tell me what to do. You saved me. You basically own my life. I'm willing to die for you."
Avery wasn't surprised by her answer.
Be it years ago or during their most recent reunion, she was careful around him. It was different from the way she usually acted around people.
Despite his zero experience in dating, he had encountered all kinds of women in the business world.
He could tell that, other than gratification, Leia had feelings for him. Deep feelings.
Even though she was Ms. Miller, her self-esteem would drop every time she saw him. She couldn't even face him properly.
Avery roughly recounted the whole story.
"You want me to save your dad?"
"Yes, can you do that?" Avery lost his confidence after telling her the story because it was undeniably a difficult request.
Surprisingly, she answered, "It'll be kinda difficult, but I can do it."
She was young but decisive.
Her promise comforted him. "You can tell me if you need help. I'll do everything in my power to help you."
"You don't have to do anything. I can do it alone. More people will only alarm the enemy."
Avery soon realized how scary Leia could be. She was rational yet evil. Hesitating was never her way of doing things.
She'd make an intimidating enemy.
After terminating the call, the crease on Avery's forehead smoothened out.
"How did it go?" Bryce asked.
"Tell our guys to retreat."
"Do you believe her just like that? You haven't met each other in years, though."
