Addicted To The Genius Lady With A Thousand Faces

Chapter 764:

Silver Fox held Burnet’s gaze, hoping for a display of understanding and forgiveness. Instead, he looked at her with a slight smile that didn’t quite reach his eyes. “Being friends with you wouldn’t interest me. I’m not exactly short on friends,” he said coolly.

Confused, Silver Fox furrowed her brow. “But didn’t you say you wanted to be friends the other day?”

“You also claimed you were a lesbian that day, didn’t you?” Burnet retorted. “If you can lie, why can’t I change my mind?”

“Like family?” Burnet raised an eyebrow, amusement flickering in his expression. “That’s news to me.”

Frustrated but persistent, Silver Fox countered, “Yes, we are. Xander and I have both trained at the Doomsday Base, making us practically brother and sister. And you’re a close friend of Black Snake’s husband, so I’m like your family, right?”
