Chapter 139:
The door opened and Evans strolled in, holding an extra saline in one hand and a clipboard in the other. His ever-present grin was plastered across his face.
“Greetings, Alpha Jaris,” he said with a slight bow, then turned to me. “How’s it going? I was told you might need this.” He showed the saline he’d brought in.
“Actually, no. I’m almost done.” I returned my gaze to Jaris’ chest.
“I can see. Doctor Lyric working her magic as usual p>
I laughed. “Evans, it’s just standard procedure. No magic involved p>
Evans was one of the nice ones. Over the month, you could say we’ve become friends.

“Whoa! ‘Flirting’ is a big word. Evans and I are just friends p>
“Well, tell me. Did you come here to make friends or just work p>
