"Just anybody? Then who are you to me?"
Easton Holmes completely ignored the main meaning Lily Turner was trying to convey and instead got tangled up with her over this. He spoke seriously, as if this was a very important matter to him.
Upon hearing this, Lily suddenly realized she had said something inappropriate earlier and hurriedly apologized, "I'm sorry! I was just too anxious earlier and said it without thinking. Please just consider it a slip of the tongue."
If it weren't for needing the money to fight those two despicable people, she wouldn't be here saying such insincere words with her head bowed down, something she couldn't even respect herself for.
"Just said it without thinking?"
Easton seemed quite dissatisfied with Lily's explanation. A hint of displeasure appeared on his cold face, and his sharp eyes stared straight at her, who was a head shorter than him.
