Chapter 135

Lioren’s tail was thumping against the chair leg in a rapid rhythm

Lucian ate with an expressionless face, like he was completely aninvolved.

Dora kept her head down, pretending to be an emotionless food robo

But those subtle looks kept drifting her way every now and then.

She set down her fork, looked up, and flashed her most perfect smile. “The food today is really delicions Seven crooking skills are getting better and better.”

Seven’s big eyes lit up like two light bulbs. “Thank you for the compliment, Master! I’ll keep working hard!”

Clive casually added another helping to Dora’s plate.

Rafe pushed up his glasses and smiled. “Dory, how did you sleep last night?

“Hope the first day of the wet season didn’t freak you out.”

His question was smooth as silk, but deep down in those blue eyes, he was saying, ‘I want the juicy details.

Dora took a deep breath.

She set down her fork and scanned each of their faces.

Elmer’s defiance, Lioren’s irritation, Rafe’s thoughtful gaze, Lucian’s indifference, and Clive’s lazy satisfaction.

“Listen up, everyone,” she said, her voice wasn’t loud, but it had/weight.

“Last night’s events stop here.

“Starting today, the wet season is officially here. Our top priority is to take advantage of the safer days and upgrade our house to starship standards as quickly as possible.”

She turned to Lucian. “When can we start working on the blueprints?”

Lucian set down his fork. “Anytime.”

“Alright,” Dora said, standing up. “Once we’re done eating, we’re having a meeting.

“We’ll sort out who’s doing what, set the schedule, figure out what we need to buy, and lock in the construction plans

She glanced around at everyone, her bright face carrying the undeniable authority of the head temale

“As for everything else,” she paused, her gaze sweeping over Elmer, Lioren, Rafe, and mally landing on lucian

“We’ve got plenty of time for that later”

The table fell silent.

Then Rafe chuckled and raised his cup. “Let’s follow Dory’s lead.”

Lioren’s tail stopped thumping.

jer pulled out his cheeks but didn’t say another word

Next time it’s gotta be me Elmer thought, determined. No way am I letting that wedky fox beat the trapan

He’d missed out on being first or second but he was determined to be Dora’s thinkoffie.us mate

Lucian nodded.

Clive stayed silent, but a hint of amusement flickered in his eyes.

Five males and one female, sharing a lunch where silent rivalries and hidden undercurrents swirled beneath the surfer

After lunch, Seven happily tidied up the dishes, its screen displaying a big, cheerful grin.

It was probably the only one in the house who truly savored the meal.

Dora set down her fork and finally looked up, scanning the five faces around the table, each showing something differen

She took a deep breath, then flashed a bright smile.

‘Looks like we’re all done eating. Time to sort out who’s doing what during the wet season.”

All eyes turned to her at once.

‘Clive, you handle the shield upgrades and the wall reinforcement,” Dora said.

Clive nodded.

‘Lioren, you’ll handle the upgrades for the house’s ventilation and dehumidification systems. You’ll also be responsible for he stealth and speed modules,” Dora continued.

Lioren’s tail flicked upward in silent agreement.

‘Elmer, you’re in charge of teaching Seven more ways to cook and taking care of the daily maintenance around the house.

Dora said.

Elmer straightened up, full of confidence. “I’ll get it done, no problem!”

‘Rafe, you’ll be working with me to study the medicinal properties of agave plants during the wet season, and we also handle ordering the special materials needed for the starship,” Dora added.

Rafe’s blue eyes sparkled as he smiled and nodded. “It’s my honor.”

‘Lucian!” Dora paused, turning to the ever-calm commander. “You’ll be in charge of the overall security planning and the house upgrades.

“After all, you’re the expert in this area.”

A flicker of surprise crossed Lucian’s pale golden eyes, but he nodded “Alright.”

With the assignments handed out, Dora stood up.

Then she said, “Alright, that’s how we’re splitting up the work at home.

“As for your outside jobs, you can handle those however you want.

Had make sure there are at least two beast mates with me at home every day

The five males all nodded in unison, then got up, ready to ge; to work

Before leaving. Elmer glanced back at Clive and mustered under his breath. You arm spake you re not playing for

Lioren snorted and flicked his tail.

Rafe adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses, smiling knowingly

Lucian’s steps stayed steady, but as he passed Clive, he paused for a momen!

Clive looked as calm as ever, but that little smirk at the corner of his mouth just wouldn’t go away, no matter how hard he ried to hide it.

Dora saw all this and couldn’t help but facepalm with a sigh.

‘Ding-dong.”

The doorbell rang.

Dora felt like giving whoever rang the doorbell a medal.

Talk about perfect timing!’ she thought.

she practically sprang to her feet and dashed to the door, barely taking three steps.

she left the simmering rivalry and tension between the five males in the dust.

Coming, coming!” Dora said.

When the door opened, Mindy was standing outside with a big, cheerful smile.

Milo was right behind her, and further back, seven or eight/construction robots were lined up neatly, standing perfectly still n the thick fog.

Dora!” Mindy spread her arms wide.

Mindy!” Dora dove straight into her embrace.

The two females locked in a hug so sweet and wholesome, any bystander would’ve had to wipe away a tsar

Well, that is, leaving aside how Dora’s excitement was dialed up to ‘saved by a hero’ levels

Seven had already obediently led the construction robots into the yard, safely within the shield’s range so the wet weather was no problem.

Then, it enthusiastically ushered Mindy and Milo inside.
