Chapter 722:

For a moment, Rhys’ hand faltered on the wheel.

His dark eyes glinted with amused indulgence. So, Harlee had been dealing with a few unruly individuals in the physics lab. Those must have dared to look down on Harlee, poking the bear and finally reaping what they had sown.

“Sounds like you had fun in the physics lab,” Rhys commented.

Harlee polished off the last bite of her hot dog, savoring it with a satisfied lick of her lips. With an offhand shrug, she said, “It was fine. There was this student, Jodi, who was pretty interesting.”

Despite the department head’s doubts about Harlee’s abilities, Jodi had remained steadfast in preparing questions, even going so far as to add Kieran’s question to make up a full set of ten. Not many people had that kind of pure passion for physics.

Suddenly, Rhys’ phone rang.

He pressed the answer button and switched it to speakerphone.

“Mr. Green, it’s Patrick.

Bart and the guardians from Uwhor, along with a few from Claelia, are back. We’re gathering at Tartarus Club. Want to join us later?”

Rhys had a unique bond with them. When they were on a mission, Rhys was the leader.

His orders were absolute, and everyone followed them without question.

But when there were no missions, they were simply friends, free to relax and hang out together. This was why Patrick felt comfortable calling. Moreover, the guardians and the people from Claelia were old friends Rhys had grown up with, which prompted Patrick’s invitation.

Still, knowing Rhys was with Harlee, Patrick hesitated, realizing if he interrupted Rhys’ time with Harlee, he would be punished for handling business in remote areas.

Rhys didn’t answer immediately.

He glanced over at Harlee in the passenger seat and asked her, “Do you want to meet them?”

Harlee wasn’t particularly eager to meet new people, especially since she had already heard all about Bart and the guardians from Uwhor through Tonya. There was no need for a face-to-face meeting. Therefore, she shook her head.

Rhys smiled and immediately said to the phone, “You guys have fun without me…”

Harlee widened her eyes.

“What? You won’t go if I don’t?”

Rhys’ tone softened, his voice affectionate.

“It’s rare to get time with you. Of course, I would rather stay with you.”

Harlee pointed at the phone.

“The call isn’t over yet.”

Rhys’ grin widened.

“You don’t have to worry. Patrick’s used to it.”

Patrick was at a loss for words. Judging from his tone, Harlee could tell this gathering wasn’t something that happened often, so she reconsidered.

“Alright, let’s go. It’s been a while since I last visited Tartarus Club.”

Just then, a woman’s voice chimed in from the phone, “Rhys is coming too? It’s been ages since I last saw him. Let’s have a drink tonight!”
