The silence was almost a minute long and the whole room fell silent.
In the end, it was Adam who smiled instead.
"What? Are you shocked too? I also think that if I show up with this kind of look, basically all negotiations will fail. And even if I did show up with that look, people wouldn't believe me and they would just think I was a substitute. I couldn't help it, so I had to wear sunglasses to negotiate with them. Once I wore sunglasses, people were a bit scared of me and I looked more imposing."
"I just didn't think you were indeed different from what I thought you were."
Elsie spoke up awkwardly, while Adam asked with interest.
"What did you imagine I should look like? The kind you see in the movies? But there are all types of looks in the movies. What do you imagine I should look like?"
"I thought you would be very, very cold. People are scared to death when you look at them more than once, and people will bow their heads in fear when they look at you. I thought you would carry that aura that makes people fear and tremble."
If Elsie could only describe what Adam looked like in one sentence, it would be an updated version of the babyface.
From the way Adam looked, it was hard to tell that he was a half-breed.
He was a man, but with a babyface, which would have meant cute. If it was several times more of an upgrade than a normal babyface, it would have been like seeing a cute animal.
In other words, it was like seeing a giant panda and thinking he was so cute.
That was how she felt at first glance when she saw Adam. But, she was afraid of offending him by showing that look, so she kept her head down and silent for a long time, suppressing the excitement in her heart.
In her eyes, she saw Adam like a child seeing a giant panda.
He was so cute! How could he have such cute looks?
"Don't I give you a cold enough feeling when I'm wearing sunglasses? I've trained that expression for so long that whenever people see me, they subconsciously take a few steps back. As for me finding so many people who are the same height as me and then wearing sunglasses to look similar to me, of course it's because the aura of one person isn't really that great, and if dozens of people came over like that, it would look particularly imposing and scare the opponent first. The most important thing in negotiations is to scare your opponent first."
Elsie really couldn't help but snort with laughter.
"You're nothing like I thought you would be. You're very funny. Are you a big fan of cakes and desserts and such?"
Elsie couldn't resist asking because she was so gossipy.
"Of the food, I do love desserts the most. Eating cake relaxes the mind and puts you in a happy mood."
This meeting with Adam didn't last long and they chatted for a while afterward before Elsie and Wilson left.
Adam looked like he had something to do again, so they had to leave.
When they got back to their place, Elsie hugged Wilson and laughed as soon as the door was closed.
She laughed for so long that Wilson couldn't help but speak up.
"What are you laughing at? Why are you laughing so hard?"
Elsie asked as she grabbed Wilson's arm, still with a grin on her face.
"I thought Adam was so funny. He talks with such humor, and all his actions make you want to laugh. How can someone be so funny? You don't know how he looks with that tone of voice and his actions. If I hadn't kept myself in check, I really would have been able to stop laughing in front of him all the time. Luckily, my tolerance was stronger and I only laughed out loud when I got back here."
Wilson spoke up helplessly.
"Let me get you a glass of water. You've been laughing for so long, and you look a bit tired."
Elsie hurriedly sat down on the sofa and nodded. After Wilson brought over the warm water and she took a few sips, she turned to Wilson and asked again.
