"If not now, when? There is no right timing for this type of work."
Which it was, no one could tell him he was wrong for this type of statement. The earlier the better in general but there is no better time to research someone. 'Better time' was the time you did it and when it was convenient for you. Even if Xi Long was mad at him, this was an undeniable fact.
"There is no right timing but there could be better timing. The day after meeting her seems like a slap in the face, no?" His voice was gruff but remained calm.
Every second that Xi Long spoke to him in this calm tone, the more stressful it was. His face had a relaxed expression on it but his heart was pounding. It was weird since he knew that other than a lecture a small "get-even" on the account of Valentina, nothing else could happen. Nothing he had done was irreversible or 'so bad' that it would ruin their friendship.
