If Giovanni Knew I Was an Undercover Agent?

"Bishass."

Before Matori could find the answer, a deep, resonant voice came from nearby.

"Boss!"

Matori's eyes lit up when she saw Giovanni in a bathrobe, wiping the water from his hair.

Even as Giovanni's secretary, this was her first time seeing him like this—fresh out of the bath.

A freshly bathed Giovanni!

Since it was more convenient for looking through information, Matori had put the call on speaker, so Giovanni had heard Xia Yan's question as well.

"Boss."

Xia Yan's respectful voice came through the phone.

"You still haven't returned the Pokémon I gave you last time, kid."

Giovanni casually tossed the towel onto the sofa beside him and said with a smile.

"Uh, I just haven't had the chance to use them yet. I can't waste your thoughtful gift, Boss."

Hearing Xia Yan's words, Giovanni could not help shaking his head with a smile.

He picked up the communicator on the table.

Matori looked on enviously as Giovanni sat in his chair, chatting and laughing with Xia Yan.

In the entire Team Rocket now, there really were not many members who could make Giovanni smile.

Sabrina counted as one.

But Giovanni's attitude toward Sabrina was somewhat like a father doting on his daughter.

Only with Xia Yan was it different.

The two were superiors and subordinates, yet they also seemed to share the bond of teacher and student, with just a faint hint of friendship.

That kind of relationship made Matori, as his little secretary, deeply envious.

However, after what had happened in the Kalos Region, when Xia Yan had helped them escape by holding back Pokémon League members and had then helped them deal with Team Flare's leader, Lysandre, Matori felt more admiration for Xia Yan and far less jealousy.

Perhaps only a subordinate like Executive Yan
