"No." Without hesitation, Ava rejected Lane's request.
Of course, Lane had already expected that kind of reaction, so he wasn't deterred in the slightest.
"Please?" He leaned forward, looking at Ava with puppy eyes. "Pretty please?"
Ava sized him up, her expression unchanged. "Lane, I'm also busy. I don't have time to act as your secretary…"
"It won't be much, I promise! You just need to skim through Blanc and Vulcan's emails, and respond to Blanc if necessary… I even prepared you a short guide on how to respond! See, I'll be on the raids for next month or so, so I won't be able to check my inbox at all…"
That was really all that he needed. Make sure that Blanc got responses to his proposals, no matter how short, so that he wouldn't start acting behind Lane's back (if he wasn't doing that already).
