“So…” Margaret spread her hands. “Until my test results are in, I still need somewhere to crash Can’t exactly sleep on the streets, you know? I hear nights on Prime Planet get pretty cold Last thing you need is this C-class body of mine turning into a popsicle-wouldn’t be great for your hospital’s reputation, either

She paused, then a thought struck her. “Actually… would you mind if I stayed here in your office for a bie This couch looks way cozier than that brokendown bed at my ex’s place.”

The room fell quiet for a beat.

“You can stay at my place,” Cheiron said plainly.

Margaret stiffened. She lifted her eyes toward him. His expression hadn’t changed-calm as if he’d just commented on the forecast.

“Come again?” she asked.

He has someone in his heart. That dead C-class female must have been very important to him. That is why he doesnt care. That is why he can casually invite a strange female to stay at his house.

That was fine. The fact that his heart belonged to someone else made it safer. Not that she had anything he would want anyway. And staying at an SSS-class big shot’s house-that had to be the safest place on the entire planet. Who would dare cause trouble on an SSS-class beastman’s turf?
