"Why should I tell you, huh?" Leo finally speaks while staring at the window glass, his voice flat and lazy. "It's nothing important. The only thing that matters now is our goal."
I immediately turn my head. "Seriously?"
Leo shrugs. "We don't need to be involved in… whatever our daily life is. We focus on what we need to uncover."
That sentence hurts more than it should.
Honestly, I'm very annoyed by how harsh and indifferent he sounds.
But I swallow everything, smoothing out the breath that had turned rough. "Fine," I mutter. "We focus on the goal."
Leo nods lightly.
After that, we both fall silent, only the whirring of the AC filling the room. Then Leo adds,
"And the identity of Emily Hart stays in front of everyone."
I look at him immediately. "Oh yeah, of course. So, who knows about me on your side, Leo?"
"Only Sebastian. You?"
I nod. "Okay, on my side there's Max and Juno. They're both my friends."
"Okay, so aside from those three, we agree to keep using Emily Hart."
