Chapter 408: Reassurances

She looked up when the sound of something crashing on his end was heard. And her eyes searched for the source in the hologram. It was a glass jar, one that had mixed fruits which she packed for him.

"Oh, your preserved fruits, what a loss." she said with disappointment.

Esong opened a button of his shirt, sighed and replied, "There was some turbulence." 

Turbulence, Scarlet thought, wasn't the sky station immobile? Confusing as it was, she did not dwell on the matter. 

"What do you think, is he blackmailing them or not?" she returned to the topic which they had been discussing.
