"You want to see me?" Casey stood at the door, asking.
"Come in." Annabel didn't raise her head, still making with a teapot elegantly. With her arms being charming, her moves were graceful.
It was the temperament that a girl from a powerful family should have. This was the thought Casey had when he saw her for the first time.
Not knowing why she asked him to come here, Casey walked in and stared at her.
After Casey came in, Annabel no longer spoke. Instead, she patiently made tea while Casey patiently watched her do so. Casey unknowingly began to enjoy it.
After a long time, Annabel completed making tea. She looked up at Casey, saying with a hint of smile in her eyes, "I didn't expect you to be so patient. I've always thought that people in Guanling Dungeon are all ill-tempered."
Casey smiled at her and said, "This is the first day when I'm here. Maybe I would be just like them sometime later."
Annabel was stunned for a while. It never occurred to her that it was the first day for Casey to be in Guanling.
"How did you come here? Were you taken to this place by force?" Annabel asked.
Casey shook his head. He was not going to conceal the fact from her, so he said, "I volunteered to come here."
"Oh?" Annabel looked up and down at Casey, asking, "Why did you volunteer to come here? You can't live in the normal society anymore? I heard that most of the people in the Guanling Dungeon are outlaws."
"I want to find a person." Casey answered.
Annabel was a little curious, asking, "Who do you want to find?"
"I'm sorry, but I can't tell you about it before I know who you are." Casey spoke.
Finding that Annabel was not an ordinary person was the reason why he honestly told her that he came here to find a person. Being new here, he was unfamiliar with everything here. It was impossible for him to find some information about the whereabouts of Terence now.
He could only try to get some information about Terence by contacting people here.
However, he couldn't tell Annabel who he was looking for. After all, he knew neither who she was nor what her purpose was by asking him to come here.
"You dare to keep me in suspense. Do you know that I can ask someone to kill you as long as I pay? If you're unwilling to tell me about that, I don't mind sending someone to force you to tell me that." Annabel said with a smile.
"You can have a try." Casey said.
Staring at Casey for quite a while, Annabel laughed and said, "I didn't expect that you're quite proud."
Casey was somewhat surprised. It was beyond his expectation that she would describe him as proud.
Annabel stood up, looking perfectly graceful in kimono. She looked elegant, but Casey could tell that she was actually a crazy person from her every move.
Perhaps she didn't like to be like a lady from a powerful should be. After being constrained for a long time, she tended to be indulgent with herself.
