Thankfully, Bright was a sensible man, he didn’t behave aggressively. Instead, he listened to my perspective and nodded, his query was more than a request.

“What?” My eyebrows shot up, forming a high arch of astonishment, I found it hard to understand the meaning of Bright’s words.
“What do you mean to say, Bright?” Staring at him wide–eyed, I demanded an explanation.
