Chapter 320: Play With A Devil

Seven Sins System Chapter 320. Play With A Devil

Without losing his smile, John glanced at Aria's hand wrapped around my arm before he looked at me. His gaze was intense, calculating, and I could practically see the gears turning in his head. It was clear he approached us with a specific purpose, and my gut told me it had everything to do with the cult.

I bet they'd picked me out as their newest target. Lucky me.

"Wow, I didn't know you were close to Ms. Aria, doc," John said, raising an eyebrow.

I shot Aria a quick, side-eyed glance and forced my own smile, as artificial as it could get, and suppressed my disgust. I've always been a devil, and as the master of deception, I could usually play the part of the charming, poker-faced doc without breaking a sweat. But right now, all I could muster was a weird, crooked grin that probably made me look more like a sideshow attraction than a respectable medical professional.

"Y-Yes, we are kinda close," I stammered, the words slipping out of my mouth before I could even think to stop them. I couldn't believe I let those words escape my lips.

"Yes, we are very close," Aria said, She fixed me with a knowing look, hugging my hand tighter.

I felt like slapping her hand away, shaking my head vigorously, and revealing that we were far from being the dynamic duo she was portraying. But somehow, I managed to stop myself. Even though I was pretty sure I could handle the cult alone, I needed her, more than I cared to admit. I needed her to help prove that the demons had nothing to do with the chaos in the mortal realm, and I hoped she could convey that message to her mother.

John's frown deepened, suspicion etched across his face. "But I thought you were close to Ms. Julia, doc," he asked, his words laced with doubt, as if he could smell the deceit in the air.

I was about to open my mouth, ready to provide some semblance of an explanation, but Aria beat me to it. "No, no, you've got it all wrong," she declared. She shifted even closer to me, and her hand on my arm tightened its grip. "Dr. Allen is closer to me than anyone else. Ms. Julia is just a colleague, and nothing more," she added.

I fought back a cringe that threatened to take over my face as I turned my gaze towards Aria. My eyes shot her a look that was positively dripping with disgust, and my expression screamed out, 'I know we're just pretending here, so can you please not make it so ridiculously over-the-top? It's disgusting.'

John flashed a reassuring grin. "Don't you worry," he assured me. "I'll keep my lips sealed," he said with a wink, as if he had a secret agent's level of discretion.
