Taking out this Torment (4)

"Because from your voice, I could tell that you got fired up when talking about Barbie Cornwell. So that's why I assumed that you have a personal grudge against her. That's why you want to make this a bridge for you to do it, am I right, Emmy?" Elise asked.

And her suspicion was correct, 100% correct. 

Because I was actually baiting her to be on my side to take care of Barbie later on. Because based on her skill, she could be a great addition.

But I didn't expect her to see through my scheme so easily. As expected, she was not a regular girl. 

"You're right, Elise. I do have a personal grudge against Barbie for something she did before. I've been thinking about taking her down, but I haven't found any good method yet."

"When I saw how competent you are despite making things up in your imagination, I saw that you're a potential partner here," I said truthfully, not wanting to hide anything from my future partner.
