"Did I just hear some explosive news?"
Uh.
Nora Scott touched her nose.
"Trending on hot searches?"
"A hundred books?"
"Zero is a woman?"
With each question, Laura Collins took a step inside, her expression growing colder, with a sort of "If I'm going down, I'm taking you with me" vibe.
"Ahem," Nora put down her spoon, straightened her jacket, then turned sideways, straightening up, and said with feigned seriousness, "Yes, I am the Zero you worship as a deity."
"..."
Laura was stunned, dumbfounded, shocked.
Speculation was one thing, receiving confirmation was another.
Laura wished a bolt of lightning would strike her dead on the spot.
Following her was Marcus Shaw, who wasn't as surprised; hearing the news, he had a brief moment of "I knew it" expression, and then nothing more.
