......
Sylvia's face turned red as she looked at Kendrix's handsome face. She had not expected him to say something like that.
From what she knew about him, he did not seem like someone to be so bold.
He had always been so calm and controlled that he somehow did not seem like a part of the world.
How could someone like that say such a thing? Sylvia wondered.
But she was sure that she had heard those words come out from his mouth.
She felt like she had learned something new about him.
She stood in the corridor in a daze, staring at him, forgetting to react and speak.
The bright lights made her skin seem translucent, almost as if she was an ethereal being.
Kendrix's gaze deepened, and he did not look away. In fact, he also forgot to react.
As they looked at each other, time seemed to stop for a moment.
Kendrix moved closer.
Only then did Sylvia come back to her senses. She stared at him blankly.
