Chapter 31 Are You the Captain?
“Hausman Turner?
Hausman hesitated.
The tone was so much like the Captain’s?
He felt a bit unsure, laughing awkwardly and pulling out his phone from his pocket.
The latest message was still the call, with no texts.
Hausman felt slightly reassured.
But only slightly.
Hausman had seen the Captain, but the Captain always wore a mask and altered their voice. He quietly assessed Irene’s physique and height, his heart skipping a bea
She had a similar build to the Captain.
And a similar tone.
Could the Captain really be just a high school girl?
Hausman’s eyes fell on Irene’s arms.
Muscles???
And calluses on her hands… wait, she changed her posture and covered them all.
Hausman looked up, meeting Irene’s amused gaze.
He felt like
he had been caught doing something wrong and turned his head away.
He suddenly realized, wait, why am I so afraid of her?
Turning back, Irene was looking at the central water feature, seemingly in a good mood.
Hausman felt conflicted.
Is she the Captain or not?
Why would the Captain appear here?
Haha, I must be too tired lately. The Gibson Mercenary Group members are easy to deal with but far away. I haven’t recovered from the plane tide yet. That must be it.
Hausman relaxed a bit but still didn’t dare to be too reckless when talking to Irene.

Owen turned his head, his expression changing: “Miss, he’s a playboy, don’t listen to him.” He winked, making a playful gesture.
“That’s different, this lady surpasses them without makeup!”
Irene was speechless.
She couldn’t help but laugh.
Hausman seemed embarrassed. “You two are too much! Shut up.”

“Let them help if they want. It doesn’t matter.”
Joanna Bodled, somewhat shyly saying, “The red–haired one looks a lot like Joyce.”
Decker chackled, lowering his voice to guide her: That’s Joel Locke, Joyer’s cousin, Joyce has been looking at you since he walked in. Joanna, tell Uncle, are you two dating?

“Joel, if you don’t want to do serious work, that’s fine Your family can afford it, but you should be more selective about your friends. You’re lowering your standards by bending anyone.” The speaker was Sari, the one who had been beaten by Irene when delivering something that day.
