Thinking about the fight with Randy made her mind travel to the conversation she had with Jane, and she frowned when she remembered how Jane wanted to use her to get to Jason. Gina hadnât even been looking forward to the promotion at all since she thought that Randy would be getting it, but the short moment of joy that she felt when she realized that she might be getting it was ruined by Jane.
Right now, Gina wasnât sure if she wanted the promotion or not anymore. Were they going to give her the promotion because she earned it, or was it just going to be because they wanted to get closer to Jason somehow? Gina sighed internally and decided not to think about it. She would first see how things go before she made a decision.
Ginaâs friend finally brought up the one topic that Gina wasnât keen on addressing.
"So, your boyfriend awakened as a superhuman? Iâve been hearing on the news that he might be the strongest awakener since the Five Rulers. I canât imagine how lucky he was to awaken just after entering a Gate. He couldâve died."
Ginaâs eyes darkened at that thought, and her friend immediately knew she had said the wrong thing. Jason dying was the last thing Gina wanted to think about. Ginaâs friend immediately changed the topic.
"So what happened after he came back alive?"
Gina shrugged and she laughed softly when she heard her friend sigh.
"Youâre always so tight-lipped about Mr. Young, buff and handsome. Iâve known you for five years and youâve only shown me his picture! You havenât even told me a single thing about him! The only thing I know is that youâre childhood friends and youâve been in love with him forever. Iâm sure you wonât even say a thing if you two finally get together."
A small blush rose on Ginaâs cheeks once she heard this as her mind traveled back to the previous night and how long they were having sex! Ginaâs friend felt her eyes widen in shock as her brow rose astronomically! There was no way! There was no fucking way!
"You two finally did it!?"
She shouted loudly, and Gina put her hand to her friendâs mouth and told her to shut it!
"Donât announce it to everyone, dammit! Whatâs wrong with you!?"
Ginaâs friend wasnât even listening to her as she laughed happily! Her shoulders were moving from left to right in a happy dance, and she clapped her hands together as she pushed Ginaâs hand away and spoke with a perverted grin!
"You have to tell me everything! Everything! Where!? When!? How!? Who made the first move!? What did you do!? How big is he!?"
Ginaâs blush increased when she heard all the vulgar questions, and she shook her head with a laugh as she finally put on her trousers and singlet before throwing on her top.
"Look, it just happened, okay? We were talking late last night and it just happened. Weâre in a great place right now and I think... I think weâre together-together. Itâs going so well that itâs almost like a dream, so Iâm trying to take it slow and make sure not to ruin it."
Gina put her hands over her cheeks to try and stop the blush from rising. Her bright red hair framed her face like a waterfall of roses, and she was staring at the space in front of her with a faraway look and a bright smile. Her friend couldnât help but smile once she saw how much love there was in Ginaâs eyes. There was no doubt that Gina was hopelessly in love with this guy. This wasnât one of those things where you just had sex and the love faded afterward.
It was almost like Gina fell more in love with him after they had finally done it.
Ginaâs friend sighed tiredly while lamenting her own lack of a love life. She was happy for her friend, but she couldnât help but feel a little jealous of such pure love.
Ring~! Ring~! Ring~!
Ginaâs phone suddenly rang, and Gina blinked back to reality before reaching for it. She checked the caller ID, and her smile widened when she saw that it was Jason.
"Hey!"
Gina answered enthusiastically, and Jason smiled from the other side of the phone when he heard how excited she was to talk to him. He spoke calmly.
[Hey, babe. I kinda need your help.]
Ginaâs brow furrowed in surprise before she asked Jason what was wrong. Did something happen!?
[No, no, itâs nothing bad. Itâs just... hard to explain. Can you come pick me up in New York? Iâm at the subway entrance.]
"What? What in the world are you doing all the way over there!?"
Gina spoke up in shock as she stood up and immediately began to reach for her bag and keys. She told her friend that she had to go, and her friend just waved her goodbye as she watched Gina leave the room.
[Iâll explain everything once you get here.]
"Alright, Iâm on my way!"
[Thanks, babe.]
A blush rose on Ginaâs cheek when she heard Jason call her babe, and she had to force it back down as she hurried out of the building! She just hoped that Jason wasnât lying and there was really no problem!
As Gina made her way out of the changing room, she suddenly ran into a woman who was walking in the opposite direction. The woman was dressed in a formal dress suit. She had pure white hair that would make anyone stop and stare, cut into a short bob, and even with the suit she was wearing, her athletic figure was very obvious! She had piercing blue eyes that were narrowed into a permanent glare and her face was set into a stoic look.
Gina immediately apologized for hitting her.
"Iâm really sorry! I wasnât watching where I was going!"
The womanâs stoic face split into a small smile, and for some reason, Gina felt more afraid of that smile than anything she had ever seen in her life. It terrified her even more than the monsters she had fought.
The woman put her hands in her pocket and shook her head.
"Not at all, I wasnât watching where I was going either. You are Gina Fey, if Iâm not mistaken. I was wondering if I could speak to you personally."
Ginaâs brow furrowed as she realized that this interaction wasnât a coincidence at all. The woman in front of her had been waiting to bump into her. Gina shook her head as she took a step away since she was in a hurry to meet Jason.
"Sorry, but my boyfriend needs my help with something. Maybe we can talk later?"
The white-haired woman smiled once more before reaching into her pocket and producing a pure white business card.
"When youâre free, please call this number. Iâll be expecting the call."
Gina took the card and turned it over to read what was on it, and her eyes immediately widened in shock once she saw the large SMD logo printed on it! This woman was a part of the SMD!? Gina swallowed in shock before she gave the woman a more respectful nod and thanked her for understanding before she quickly turned to leave. Gina was in a hurry to meet with Jason, but she also wanted to get as far away from the white-haired woman as possible!
Once Gina left, a voice called out to the white-haired woman from down the hall.
"Madam Agiel! I thought I lost you for a moment there! The meeting room is this way!"
