Chapter 135_1

When he worked on something, he was wholly devoted. He could seclude himself in an isolated villa, only needing food and water delivered, and shut himself off for six months to write a new book. He could read a book that caught his interest, easily losing himself for 24 hours without any need for food, drink, or sleep. Once, a girlfriend showed up at his place while he was engrossed in a new book from a renowned American psychologist. She thought she could charm him out of his study. He simply smirked, not in a warm way, but in a cold, mirthless manner. Without a word, he got her in bed and stripped her clothes off. She thought she had finally captivated him. Instead, he left her naked and neglected for hours. Only when she had dressed again did she find out he had gone on a retreat.
