Under the Veil I Rule novel Chapter 301

His eyes never lingered on her face for too long, always darting away quicker than you'd expect in a normal conversation. It felt almost deliberately awkward.

"That's good to hear," said Finnian.

"If he bothers you again, just give me a call. I’m heading out now."

With that said, he turned on his heel and left.

Amara watched him go, a bit puzzled by how strange Finnian had become lately. When Finnian had arrived, she'd been on the phone with Dorian, but the moment he showed up, she hung up.

Back at the office, Dorian immediately messaged him, "Did you manage to talk to Amara?" He added a teasing emoji at the end.

Finnian, not in the mood for banter, replied with a simple "Just exchanged a few words," then shut off his phone.

Dorian was lounging in his living room, reading Finnian's reply. He sighed and remarked to his companion, Elysia Moon, "Back when Amara used to keep her face covered, Finn was all over her. Now that she’s revealed her face, he’s too shy to even chat her up."

Finnian used to be a pretty assertive guy. In the past, he wouldn’t have settled for "just exchanging a few words" with Amara; he’d have stuck around, talking her ear off. But now, faced with her beauty, he seemed too bashful to engage. How adorably innocent.

Elysia rolled her eyes. "He better not say more. Ama doesn’t seem too interested in his chatter anyway."

"What’s that supposed to mean? You think my buddy isn't good enough for your friend?" Dorian retorted, eyebrows raised in mock indignation. "What’s wrong with my buddy?"

Elysia merely chuckled, "He’s not good enough in any way."
