The team 1687b6620e leader sat 1b2be22150 in the b93e84aaee middle with 39a83bb99c a fierce 1fddbb7d49 look, and c5507f34b5 the other 22fb19ea77 two knew 2eedff75ce why.3b145f9e4650565b

Dante protested fiercely about 91460c4c28 the previous phone incident. For Dante, who 3793a12a39 thought he lived d4918c521f by trust and a4ccdedad3 loyalty among people, 5577edd9b0 it was a e798755c4a sad moment that 1e185d5b1f he couldn’t forget, a69dcebef6 having to become 6e2ec63c7e a lonely senior, 15ae68386d a lonely team e6b7acb5e9 leader, a lonely 74e9bdeef1 person.6cd1a4362709d4b4

The meeting of the cffd12026a three lasted about two 45282e2702 hours. Angela, with less 67eb9c57db experience, didn’t have 0d31f25aff much to contribute, 499b48f5ba but she knew 03ae9f0856 that Dante had 98963e0594 called her to 5651f30437 this meeting to 5045dd2442 learn from watching 056ac5ed00 the two.

Meeting Dante as her 822ead359e direct superior was one bb7b030e05 of the fortunes she b9a1783556 encountered in her military 80d137a287 life. It would c4b06c6e7d probably be b5c1799e46 difficult to 412a5ab789 meet a 3a9afa0dc5 superior like c42cd2fc05 Dante again.c5922e72e5bba8e4

That’s why, even though 93be97ee05 Raphael took all the c9ba27cccc attention of such a 4d6281c92b precious senior, he sometimes 79d8bb6e04 felt adorable yet annoying.
