Moments later, Jay strode in with a wide grin. His eyes immediately locked onto the coffee in Gin's hands.
"You're drinking coffee? What about me?" he whined dramatically, rushing to the opposite sofa and giving Gin an exaggerated, pitiful look.
Gin arched an eyebrow, amused. Since realizing Gin wouldn't commercialize his coffee, Jay's obsession with obtaining free cups had only intensified.
"Alright, alright," Gin sighed, standing to prepare another cup. Gin punched the air triumphantly, mouthing "Yes!" under his breath.
When Gin handed him the steaming cup, Gin accepted it with reverence.
He sipped slowly, savoring every drop like it was a priceless treasure.
"By the way," Jay began as he finished his coffee, "should we contact Team Épée again?"
Gin shook his head. "No need."
He had already obtained the information he needed. There was no point in further interactions unless a future opportunity arose.
