Who Knew My Assigned Mechanic Husband Was a Big Shot? novel Chapter 203

Out on the training grounds, Danielle had rejoined the squad.

She looked radiant and fierce.

Her backflips were just as flawless as Leo's.

When Logan walked over, she even greeted him with a crisp, "Captain!"

Logan merely nodded and immediately began outlining the day's training and mission objectives.

During a water break, Danielle walked over to join Leo, Flynn, and Dash.

Everyone's water bottles were clustered together, but as soon as she approached, Leo and the others actively avoided her, staring off into the distance while holding their cups.

Danielle didn't feel awkward; she was the type to speak her mind directly.

"What's this? I've been gone for a bit, and now you're all avoiding me? Do you think I'm going to bite? I'm still your second-in-command. When the Captain isn't here, you answer to me."

Seeing her bluntness, Leo and the others stopped hiding, turning back to face her, though they remained silent.

"Well? You're acting like I'm a monster."

Dash and Flynn still ignored her.

Fearing this would affect team cohesion, Leo finally spoke up. "Captain Ziegler, it's not like that. Welcome back. Watching you train just now, it's obvious you've gotten even sharper since you went overseas. We're all seriously impressed."

"Then why are you avoiding me? You look like you can't stand the sight of me," Danielle challenged.

"It's nothing," Leo replied. "Don't overthink it."

Danielle probed, "I get it. You're upset because I left in such a hurry and missed that operation?"

At the mention of the operation, Flynn snapped. "Captain Ziegler, if it weren't for you on that mission..."

Leo nudged Flynn, signaling him to shut up.

Flynn immediately clamped his mouth shut.

Danielle turned her gaze to Dash.

She had a tomboyish personality, and Dash was a rough-around-the-edges tough guy; they used to get along great.
