176 A false alarm
Alex's first reaction was, of course, surprise - how could Silver Dawn's logistics lead be a forsaken?! Secondly, it was a little inexplicable, what did she mean by staring at him like that, as if she wanted to eat him. At the thought of this thought, Alex couldn't help but shiver coldly behind his back. He knew that the Forsaken occasionally ate human flesh, but ...... No, there would be no such dangerous elements in the Silver Dawn.
Anvina was curious, and Alex, a little confused. "Thea? Alex? What's wrong with you guys? β
Avena's words brought Thea to her senses from the first moment of hatred. She immediately realized something very important - this blood elf! He doesn't remember her!
So, Xia forced herself to smile most naturally: "I'm sorry, Alex. The first time I saw a male blood elf, I couldn't help but get a little distracted. Hello first meeting. β
But how could she forget that face? It was him, the cruel light that ruined the happiness she had reached. How ridiculous, the initiator doesn't remember her anymore. Thea's heart didn't know whether it was sad or happy, and it was difficult to distinguish the taste. But she had to control herself and sit back in her seat as calmly as possible. Since he didn't remember who she was for a while, she must not show any more flaws to remind him. And there are the best excuses and justifications right in front of you.
"Alex, could you please give me a book? I need to check with the information I have on file. β
"Oh, oh!" Alex also regained his mind and handed the account book to Thea.
As soon as she got her hands on it, Xia collected her emotions and concentrated on looking down and counting.
Alex touched his chin for some unknown reasons, feeling as if he had seen the Forsaken woman in front of him. But he couldn't remember where he had seen it. Just as he was pondering. Thea interrupted his memories with a loud voice.
"Alex, this ...... It seems that the amount reported to us is not ordinary, can you explain it? Sia pointed to the inconsistent numbers in the two books and gave Alex a >
"Ah...... This one. Alex scratched his head. How would he know...... He originally came up with a temporary idea, but he didn't expect this stubble to happen. How could he know these details. Alex squeaked at the moment, and he couldn't care about where he had seen Xia anymore.
Seeing Alex behaving like this, Xia couldn't help but sigh and close the account book. "Alex, I am very grateful to the Blood Elves for their support of us. But the number of deliveries now is inconsistent with what was predetermined. And there are several of them that are strategic materials that we urgently need. Anyway, you're going to have to give me an explanation, and I'll have to explain it to Commander Maxwell when I report it. So for now. There's no way I can take it. β
With that, Shia pushed the account book back to Alex.
Alex scratched at his messy short silver hair. Although being wiped twice in one day made him feel a little uncomfortable, he also understood that Thea was right. If he can still pretend to be fierce and bluff people in front of Rowling, but now Xia and he are talking about the right thing at work. Although he was aggrieved to the extreme, he still couldn't go crazy.
"Okay, I'll go back and check again." Alex stumbled and retrieved the books. I would have known that I wouldn't have taken care of this file. Otherwise, Liadline will find out, and she will blame him for not doing things well. Damn...... Alex frantically rubbed his short hair into a mess.
"Alex, how long will it take to get me back to you?" Thea asked, ignoring his troubles. "I hope you can understand that this is about our material reserves. The sooner the handover. I'd better report to Commander Maxwell sooner. He has always been very concerned about material reserves. β
Alex is simply a head two big. His specialty was not in internal affairs, and he really regretted it now that he had to take on this matter that he was not familiar with. "Got it! Got it! I'll be back tomorrow. β
Shia, apparently also Alex doesn't seem to be in direct charge of logistics, she smiles and gives Alex a step down. "If Alex you're busy. Just send your subordinates to hand us over. You don't need to do this little thing yourself. β
Listening to Thea's words, Alex was overjoyed. Anyway, the person in charge of logistics is also his subordinate. That way he could get out of it perfectly, and even if Liadline knew, he couldn't say anything about him. So, he decisively took over the steps of Sia. "Good. Then I will call my subordinates tomorrow. Well, you know, although our blood elves are mainly based on material support, it is also our duty to fight natural disasters! I'm worried that I'll have to lead the patrol tomorrow. β
Although she knew that Alex was mostly a pretext, Xia still accepted his words with a smile. Because she also wants to see Alex less often. Pretending to be peaceful in front of his face was also a very uncomfortable thing for Thea.
As soon as Alex was sent away, she let out a long sigh of relief.
"Thea, what's wrong with you?" Anvina asked curiously. "You look so tired. Is it too difficult to check the supplies from the blood elves? Why don't you let me help you tomorrow? β
Thea shook her head. "It's okay, it's just that the checking on the books is not tiring, and I'll trouble you when it's time to hand over the physical goods."
Anvena thought about it, and there were only two people, herself and Xia Ya, and couldn't help but ask curiously: "Xia Ya, there is something I said that you should not be angry." β
"What's the matter?" Thea was puzzled by Divina.
"That's ......" Anwena twisted her fingers a little embarrassed, "Don't you like that blood elf Alex?" I think you look scary at first. β
"Ah, is it? No, it may be that I am not feeling well, Anvina, you misunderstood. Thea's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that her reaction was so obvious? It happened suddenly, and she didn't expect it at all. What worries Sia even more is that if her performance is really that obvious, then even if Alex doesn't remember it for a while, there's no guarantee that he won't remember himself when he returns. That's the trouble.
In the case of Theramore, Thea is not clear who is the master and who is the slave between Alex and Liadrin. Because it was Alex who targeted her and shot at that time, she subconsciously thought that Liadline was Alex's lieutenant. Because of this, she was relieved when she heard that the blood elf leader was a woman. I didn't want to, but I completely misunderstood. So since Alex appeared as an adjutant, isn't it very likely that the female general who came to the blood elf leader this time was the female elf who appeared in Theramore that day? Although Thea sincerely hoped that the female elf would have forgotten about herself as well, she could not leave it to chance, and had to make arrangements for the female elf to recognize her with the worst possible intentions.
Sure enough, as Nathanos said, you have to think of a perfect excuse. Wait a minute...... Nathanos!
Thea took a deep breath and made up her mind. Since Nathanos is not there, it is her business to say anything. Although some people are sorry for Nathanos, there is really no better person to carry the black pot than Nathanos.
Here Xia was thinking about what was on her mind, but over there Anvina was watching Xia nervously. Usually Xia doesn't get distracted like this, well, she must be very unwell.
She stepped forward to push Thea. "Thea."
Thea was shaken back to her senses by Avena, and only then did she discover her gaffe. "I'm sorry, Avena. I'm just a little distracted. β
"Thea, you must be unwell today." Avena came to a categorical conclusion. "Anyway, Alex also said that he would come back tomorrow to hand over the handover, so you can go back and recuperate your spirit first, and leave it to me first."
For Anvina's misunderstanding, Xia was a little stunned and slightly embarrassed. However, Avena repeatedly urged her to go back to rest, and she did need some time to figure out an identity story that had nothing to do with Varian, so she no longer shied away from Avena's kindness and went back to her barracks.
Not long after Thea left on the front foot, Rowling, who was upset on the back foot because of Liadrin's relationship, paced to the logistics office to chat with Avena to relieve her mood. Rowling was overjoyed to find out that Thea wasn't thereβwouldn't she be alone with Avena? But out of politeness, she still asked, "Avena, what about Thea?" β
Anvina replied nonchalantly, "She's not feeling well, so I'll go back and rest first." β
Rowling was a little surprised by Avena's answer. Will the Forsaken still be uncomfortable? That's a very rare thing. With a keen sense of smell, she is not like the simple-minded Avena, and with her contact with Thea, Rowling can almost conclude that something must have happened. And this matter should be inconspicuous. Otherwise, Anvina would not have been unaware. Rowling asked curiously, "Has anyone been here today?" β
Anvina was completely defenseless against Rowling's question, and replied truthfully, "A blood elf named Alex has been here. What's wrong? β
"No, I'll just ask." Rowling's eyes rolled, and the little abacus that was originally going to have a good chat with Anvina to connect and connect feelings was immediately cleared. "Since Shia is not feeling well, I think it would be better for me to go."
"Hmm," Avena nodded approvingly. "Go first, Rowling. It's almost over in a moment. I'll go over too. β
"Well, I'll see you later, Avena." With that, Rowling hurried towards Thea's barracks. (To be continued)
