For a fraction of a second, Liam wished he hadn't learned to understand the world so much.
Grace's annoyance highlighted a detail Liam hadn't immediately seen. The two women were foundation experts, so their rank 2 items made them appealing marks to their former allies, but there was something else to their kowtows.
Eugene had been the one to grant those foundation experts their privileged status, clearly in exchange for sexual favors. Now that he was gone, the two women had set their eyes on Liam.
In and of itself, that wasn't really a problem. Liam would have disregarded the matter as he had always done in the past if it weren't for its second-order effect.
The two women weren't exceptional beauties, but they were far from ugly. Still, Liam couldn't feel the slightest interest or attraction toward them, which didn't apply to Grace, as if shouting how special she was to him.
