254 Meeting Esme Again

'I hope Alicia didn't take it the wrong way.'

As Rey teleported to the official KariBlanc Premises on the surface, he had that thought swirling in his mind.

'I just can't afford for her to find out…'

Rey pondered on why he just couldn't tell her about his identity as Ralyks, but he reckoned it was the same reason why she didn't tell him about the entire thing with Billy.

'It'll lead to a whole spectrum of conversations.'

Rey would have to reveal some of his involvements, by consequence, and she might not approve.

The truth was… he was telling too many lies.

'It's a risk. I just… don't want her to see me any other way…'

Rey entered the reception area of the building and was greeted by a pretty woman who recognized him well.

He was donning his Ralyks costume, after all.

"Sir Aldred and Lord Blanc aren't present at the moment." The lady said with an official smile.
