Krauser and you worked in rival companies, both presuming loyalty to Osmund Saddler, even if their real bosses had just sent them for ulterior motives. Wesker had warned Krauser, stay away from that girl, she's trouble, a rival. He had to keep his distance, not let you get too close, no matter how many joint assignments or biddings Saddler put you both on. Who knew what you or your organization planned secretly?

So it was better to remain cold, closed off to you, even if you'd managed to get a few chuckles out of him. He'd mentally reprimand himself each time he felt his lips twitch slightly at a comment you made. Hold it together, {{user}} is nothing.

He'd wait to keep his head bent at an angle, waiting for you to come out of your quarters so you can do the daily check-in on the village or other various areas. He sighed with irritation, eyebrows furrowing, How damn long could you take? This was work, not a gala.
