Chapter 258 The Wrong Knock

Seven thought for a moment, then looked at Cassia again. “Show me one more time, and I’ll try again.”

Cassia was speechless.

Seeing the way Cassia stared at him, like he’d lost his mind, Seven kept talking anyway. “If I can learn this skill, when you’re not at his place, can still knock and talk to him! Look at him; he stays in his room all day. That’s lonely and sad!”

Cassia felt like the one who really wanted to chat was Seven.

Still, what Seven said did make sense.

If one day she got held up and couldn’t come back, Seven could help.

After thinking it over, Cassia stretched out her foot and lightly kicked the table leg.

“Like this.”

“Do it again. I’ll count the rhythm,” Seven said, staring seriously at her foot.

Cassia thought the whole thing looked extremely silly.

After officially becoming a “student,” Seven returned to Sterling’s door. He counted silently in his head.

“One, two–kick. One, two–kick…”

One second passed.

Five seconds passed.

A full minute passed.

The room and living room stayed quiet,

Frustrated, Seven felt like a flock of invisible crows was flying over his head, yelling, “Idiot … idiot …”

Cassia checked the time.

It was past seven. Time for dinner.

“Want me to treat you to dinner?” Cassia asked, looking at Draven.

Draven had been the one paying lately.

“Sure,” Draven said, standing up right away.

Cassia picked up her phone and walked to Sterling’s door. She casually kicked it once.

The door opened. Sterling walked out and followed behind Cassia, calm and obedient.

Seven scratched his head, completely confused.

“Hey, kid, explain this to me. Why won’t you open the door when I knock, but you open it for Ms. Wood? The rhythm was exactly the same! I even matched the strength! Do you have X- ray vision? Or antennas on your head? Some kind of sensor?”

Seven kept rambling as he walked beside Sterling.

Sterling gave him no response at all.

Cassia noticed something. Even though Sterling ignored Seven, the distance between them was close.

Seven was right beside him, but Sterling showed no tension or discomfort.

Cassia glanced back at the two of them. Her eyes narrowed slightly, one brow lifting.

A few seconds later, she looked away and pushed the door open.

After dinner at the hotel, Cassia invited Draven and Seven to eat with her. When they were done, Draven drove Cassia and Sterling back to Dunstino Bay.

They dropped Sterling off first. After that, Draven drove Cassia home.

The three of them stood at Cassia’s front door. Cassia unlocked it and walked inside.

When she turned around, she saw that Draven was still standing outside. He showed no sign of leaving.

Cassia tilted her head, confused. “Do you need something?”

After asking that, she noticed the chessboard in even’s hands.

“At dinner, you said you play chess too?” Draven asked, a hint of excitement in his voice.

“Oh, yes,” Cassia nodded.

At the hotel, Draven had casually mentioned that he liked playing chess. Cassia followed along and chatted about it.

When Draven heard that she also knew how to play, his eyes had clearly lit up. He looked eager to play a match with her.

“I don’t have a chessboard,” Cassia said. Deep down, she didn’t really want to play.

She had no idea how good Draven was. If she won too badly, it might hurt his pride.

“I’ll have Seven go get one right now,” Draven said.

Cassia had no words.

She thought he was joking. She didn’t expect him to actually send Seven to get chessboard.

So, they were really going to play?

Cassia frowned slightly.

Back at the hotel, while Draven and Seven weren’t paying attention, Cassia had used her hacking skills to turn on the laptop at her Dunstino Bay home. She had already sent a prepared chapter of her novel from her phone to the laptop. She planned to write as soon as she got home.

Right now, the laptop in her bedroom should still be on, with the document open.

“In your room or on the balcony?” Draven asked as he spoke. He was already standing at the door of her bedroom.

From where he stood, he could see the laptop was on. The screen was filled with dense lines of text.

It was too far away to read clearly.
