I caught that subtle pause and stopped him with a calm voice. "Hold on. You haven't even told me your name. I can't exactly call you randomly, can I?"

"My mistake," he said, stepping back respectfully. "Nelson Smith. Ms. Carson, you may use my full name if you prefer."

"Nelson Smith?" Henry laughed, nudging Zayd with his elbow. "Hey, he's got the same last name as you Could he be your long-lost big brother?"

Zayd's face didn't change. He didn't even bother responding.

Nelson offered a light chuckle and explained, "That's a misunderstanding. Smith isn't my real surname. It's just a code name given to me by Fate Corporation."

"Oh, I see." Henry nodded, then turned back to tease Zayd again. "Well, since you're also a Smith, maybe if you worked for Fate Corp, you'd be even more successful than him, huh?"

"No," Zayd said curtly, as curt with his answer as ever.

Henry pouted and said, “Man, I can't even joke with you. You're no fun."

Nelson let out a quiet laugh and finally took his leave.
