Phoebe's POV
My expression grew serious as I questioned him, "Did Jeremy spot you?"
lan had been tailing Jeremy, that doctor from Clearwater University, recently. Beyond their matching names, they possessed eerily similar abilities.
During lan's initial surveillance attempt, he'd nearly blown his cover. Years of high-stakes work had taught him countless survival tactics.
Yet somehow, he'd still triggered Jeremy's suspicions.
When his HDA Jackson Base buddies caught wind of the incident, they'd mercilessly ribbed him about it, which only fueled his irritation.
I'd pushed him to step back from the surveillance, but lan had brushed off my concerns. Now, with his teammates mocking him, his stubbornness had only intensified.
lan wasn't your average operative—he could handle serious heat—so I'd reluctantly backed off and let him pursue his own course.
I exhaled internally, thinking, 'Really? So soon, and he's already landed himself in hot water again?'
