Jidenna paused.
He felt a little parched but held it in, swallowing to try to compensate for the lack of water, but that only made his throat drier.
The most mature information digger's eyes flashed with an incomprehensible gleam.
He smiled, the corners of his eyes wrinkling up in pleasure with a hint of flattery.
Thinking, I'll have to butter him up a bit so that he'll open those lips of his.
My future promotion lies in his words.
But he squinted his eyes at Jidenna's figure once more, wondering, Why did he choose to tell us this? What will he benefit from this?
But he suppressed those thoughts, thinking, What does it matter? The reason he chose to spill these beans doesn't matter to me.
Glee flashed through his shrewd eyes as he marveled at his luck.
