"No," Xu Mo said.
Elizabeth didn't pursue it further, as it wasn't important. She asked again, "What else are you hiding from me?"
"???" Xu Mo looked at Elizabeth, feeling something was off. Why did it seem like a girlfriend interrogating her boyfriend?
"About the company," Elizabeth said.
"There's something I need to discuss with you," Xu Mo said.
Elizabeth looked up at him.
"You know I'm acquainted with Sal, right?" Xu Mo said. Elizabeth nodded; she had originally poached Xu Mo from Sal to teach her, but she didn't know it was Xu Mo.
"So, you've been in contact with Sal all this time," Elizabeth thought, growing even more upset.
"Elizabeth," Xu Mo began, "you don't need to be hostile towards Sal. In fact, you could collaborate with him. As a standing director of the Star System Alliance, Sal, Yekaterina, Nan Xiangyi, they can all be your friends. If they ever hold a significant position in their own Royal Families, you understand what I mean, right?"
