She hoped she could get out of Dixonâs control as soon as possible too.
The young man in white was not expecting to see so many people in the private room, and all eyes were on him.
He scratched his head and said in a fluster, âIs my sweet Zero here? I havenât seen her before.â
My sweet Zero?
Dixon and Sienna shared a look. They were more certain about the young manâs identity now.
The young man was looking for Zero.
Everyone turned to Penelope.
Penelope froze before turning to Flying Fish in curiosity. The young man was good-looking, but his clothes did not look expensive.
Is he looking for me? That canât be, right?
Sienna turned to stare at Penelope for a while. It seemed that Flying Fish had not seen Zero before. No one knew what Zero looked like and whether Zero was a man or a woman.
With a faint smile, Sienna said to Penelope, âArenât you going to welcome Mr. Flying Fish?â
âMr. Flying Fish?â a guest asked curiously.
What a strange name. Is that a stage name?
A gleeful grin was on Siennaâs face. âYou may be unclear about the situation. Have you heard of an organization named Mysterious yet Majestic? That is an organization unlike all others. There isnât anything they canât do in this world. You have no idea how many major cases theyâve solved for our country and other countries. Theyâre not some evil organization; theyâre secret service agents! Do you understand?â
Siennaâs face was red from her excitement as she went on, âI never thought Iâd be able to meet you here, Mr. Flying Fish. Everyone in your organization keeps such a secretive life! No one has ever been able to figure out your true identity. I wasnât expecting you to come to our private room for Penelope.
Penelopeâs Zero! Come and take a look at her! Isnât she pretty?â
Everyone turned to look back at Flying Fish again.
A real secret service agent and not an actor? Is this for real? Did we just meet a real secret service agent? Thatâs a job and an individual who only appears in the legends!
Everyone was stunned, and so was Penelope.
Iâm not Zero. Iâm not a secret service agent. Is Sienna asking me to impersonate a secret service agent? What if Flying Fish realizes Iâm a fraud?
Penelope cast a pleading look at Dixon, but Dixon only looked at her with an apathetic expression.
Her heart pounded.
A secret service agent⦠That sounds cool. If Iâm a secret service agent, the Yates family will surely see me in a different light. Uncle Ryan wonât be so cold to me anymore, and even Granny will be proud of me. Iâll definitely be able to secure my position in the Yates family. No one will dare to look down on me and my mother by then.
The unfeeling way that the Yateses had been treating her and her mother made her upset.
That was a sensation she did not want to experience again.
This was a good opportunity for her, a golden opportunity.
She could tread lightly and be careful. After all, it seemed that Flying Fish had never seen Zero in person.
She took in a deep breath and smiled. âFlying Fish, I never thought youâd come all the way here for me.
Iâm really touched!â
Flying Fish immediately studied the pretentious woman. This is Zero? Is this some kind of joke?
To Flying Fish and the others, Zero was a ruthless person with few words.
Anything that could be resolved with violence would never be resolved with words for Zero.
It was impossible for Flying Fish to connect the Zero he knew online to the smiling, pretentious woman he was looking at.
His expression darkened, and he was confused.
Right then, Jason piped up, âMy goddaughterâs amazing! I canât believe she invited a famed secret service agent like Mr. Flying Fish. Iâve played the role of a secret service agent, but Iâve never seen one in person. Iâm in disbelief. I canât believe someone as mysterious and prominent as you exist in real life!â
