Commander Fred stood on the open corridor, observing Caleb and the duchess sharing a moment. A smile graced his hardened features, knowing things were on the right path.
'I never thought she would fall this hard.' The commander pondered. 'Even a strong woman like her wants someone to lean on. I'm glad Caleb is the one.'
This all began as a way to get Caleb on the duchess' side, but it quickly turned into something even he didn't see coming. He might not know much about Caleb, but his gut told him Caleb was alright.
The commander looked to his right, where Jess stood with a deep frown, exuding an aura capable of sending shivers down a man's spine.
"I'm not sure why you look so pissed, Jess." Fred said as he shook his head. "Aren't you already his lover?"
"…"
The catwoman said nothing, apparently not hearing the commander while her gaze stayed locked on the Duchess and Caleb. When she saw Caleb kiss the duchess, Jess couldn't help but clench her fist in annoyance.
