806 NEOMA'S OFFICIAL RESPONSE

"NEOMA, language."

Papa Boss' lecture only made Neoma want to curse even more.

But Mama Boss suddenly pointed her hands at Skylus.

"We have a child here with us," Mama Boss reminded Neoma. "Please be careful with your words, Neoma."

"Okay, Mama Boss," Neoma said like the obedient child that she wasn't, then she turned to Skylus. "I'm sorry for sullying your ears, Skylus."

Skylus, whose eyes were red and puffy, smiled brightly at her. "It's okay, Neoma noona. I'm used to hearing you curse since I've been hearing it since I was a baby."

Ouch.

All the adults in the room gave Neoma a look full of judgment.

Neoma slowly avoided everyone's gazes.

[Gosh. Me and my dirty mouth.]

Fortunately, everyone's focus went back to the communication device.

After all, Helstor wasn't done speaking bullshit yet.
