    Chapter 191 Do You Know Me?


    Jean gave a quiet sigh, barely audible.


    Finished


    The corners of her mouth dipped slightly, but she said nothing, continuing to listen to a conversation that didn’t interest her.


    Before she knew it, the routine meeting was wrapping up.


    “That’s it for today,” Moon said coolly, her tong sharp with warning. “Just be careful out there.”


    Everyone else nodded solemnly.


    Jean gave no visible reaction. She simply stared at the table in front of her.


    Then suddenly–someone tapped her lightly on the shoulder.


    She looked up out of reflex and was met with Ludwig’s face, a faint smile ying at his lips.


    “It’s over,” he murmured low enough that only she could hear. “Was it boring?”


    Jean blinked a few times, then shook her head


    Not exactly boring – just… not as insightful as she’d hoped.


    Once the meeting was over, no one left right away. The group drifted back to the lounge area to continue chatting.


    Jean took the chance to step away, heading down the hallway to the bathroom.


    On her way back, she spotted Moon standing near the far end of the hall, her back turned, speaking quietly on the phone.


    She held the phone to her ear with aposed expression, her voice drifting faintly through the corridor.


    Jean instinctively slowed down.


    She furrowed her brows slightly, her gaze rippling like deep water darkened by the sky.


    Then–Moon ended the call and turned around.


    Their eyes locked.


    Jean didn’t have time to look away.


    Caught off guard, she could only hold Moon’s gaze.


    But she didn’t flinch. Instead, she calmly gave a small nod.


    Moon raised a brow in amusement and smiled


    –


    cool and faint, like moonlight on still water.


    Then she walked straight toward Jean.


    Moon was much taller, and the quiet pressure she carried was hard to ignore.

    Jean stayed still as Moon came closer, expression t and unreadable.


    Now they were face to face, standing no more than two fists apart.

    Moon’s eyes were calm and deep. That faint smile still yed at her lips hard to read, but definitely not


    casual.


    Neither of them spoke.


    Finally, Jean broke the silence. “Don’t worry, I didn’t hear anything.”


    She’d kept her voice altered, still masking her true tone.


    Moon’s smile deepened. “I get the feeling… you’re very curious about me.”


    Jean blinked.


    After a short pause, she responded evenly, “Ludwig’s the only person I know here. It’s not strange that I’d be curious about you.”


    Her words were smooth, water–tight.


    But Moon pressed her lips together, clearly unconvinced. Then, suddenly and without warning, <i>she </i>asked:


    “Ghost… do you know me?”


    Jean’s eyes widened before she could stop herself.


    Moon let out a quietugh. “Guess I was right.”


    She’d noticed something in Jean’s eyes – a sh of recognition. It had been subtle, not enough to confirm anything. But she’d taken a gamble, asked outright to see what the reaction would be.


    Jean’s stunned expression was all the confirmation she needed.


    <i>She </i><i>really does </i><i>know </i><i>me</i><i>… </i>


    Jean looked down slightly, fingers curling tightly at her sides.


    <i>Of </i><i>course </i><i>someone </i><i>like </i>Moon–<i>who </i><i>made </i><i>it </i><i>this far </i><i>up </i><i>in </i><i>the </i><i>organization</i><i>–</i><i>wouldn’t </i><i>be </i><i>ordinary</i>.


    <i>I </i><i>let </i><i>my </i><i>guard </i><i>down</i>…
