Of course, John Coleman actually had other excuses.
For example, the secret of his identity.
In the whole of Sez, not even the Royal Family knew of his existence.
His existence was the utmost secret of the Secret Agent Agency.
But these were just excuses.
If Michael was willing to love him, willing to be with him, John Coleman felt he could give up everything.
Lost in thought, he lit another cigarette.
But Michael had already come out.
John Coleman noticed she was still dressed in men's clothes.
The tear stains on her face were wiped dry, and now, her gaze was icy cold, and she didn't look at John Coleman.
"Can I go now?" Michael asked coldly.
After she left, they would be strangers.
John Coleman didn't look at Michael either. He exhaled a puff of blue smoke, the first time Michael had seen him smoke.
"Go ahead," he answered, staring straight ahead.
