189 Potential
Xu Feng was rendered speechless yet again by the untimely and cheeky remarks from Carmen.
He twitched his mouth slightly and gazed at her, "You were quite nervous earlier, but now you are getting more and more comfortable." "Mhmm," Carmen nodded her head, not denying that fact. "I tend to get nervous around people I'm unfamiliar with and in a new environment. It's hard to adjust to new things around me." Hearing that, Xu Feng realized he could only drop the matter and ignored her cheeky remark.
After all, trying to correct that would mean they were not close, and he knew fairly well she worded as such to checkmate him.
Even a fool could tell he wanted to get close to her but for reasons unknown to her.
Nevertheless, her statement made it clear that she understood some of his intentions and was willing to allow it.
'What a poor judgment I made.' Xu Feng blamed himself for the misjudgment. Carmen was definitely not an innocent and naive type. Instead, she was simply a nervous person in general when it came to new things, but once she got familiar with it, she was just like a bird out of the cage. "Well, I'm glad you are familiar with me then." Xu Feng adjusted his glasses and said, "To be familiar with an expert like myself is your blessing." What was shameful?
"Do you need some water?" Unaware of what he was thinking, Carmen asked in concern.
It was especially true when she had been to numerous parties and was kicked out as a result.
Maybe some still extended an invitation to her despite knowing her terrible gameplay, but it was most definitely not a good gesture. It doesn't take a genius to know why someone would want to team up with her despite her horrendous ability. Suddenly, Xu Feng faked a cough as he was technically categorized in that area, but his motive was different. "Do you need some water?" Unaware of what he was thinking, Carmen asked in concern.
"No thanks," Xu Feng shook his head. "If you wanted to improve then there was no point in hiring Jeff. You already have an expert and that is me." 'Huh?' Jeff felt insulted when he heard Xu Feng's statement. However, he kept silent once he noticed Xu Feng's fierce gaze at him. Meanwhile, Carmen stared at Xu Feng with a silent expression briefly. A few seconds later, she questioned, "Are you really not mesmerized by my appearance?"
"..."
"No, I'm more interested in your potential and I want you to join my guild once I create one in the near future." Xu Feng decided to be honest and get rid of the misconception. He was simply too suspicious and had already noticed signs of her constantly suspecting him of something.
Instead of letting her overthink and come to a conclusion that was extremely off, he would rather come clean. "My potential?" Dumbfounded and baffled, Carmen found this explanation even harder to believe. She knew her skills fairly well, and it was already generous if others were to call her a beginner. "Like I've said, I'm quite the expert, so my eyes for people cannot be wrong." Xu Feng adjusted his glasses and confidently proclaimed.
