“You want to learn detective skills?” Xavier frowned. “I don't know how to teach you that.”
After all, that was his innate talent.
Hearing that, Lana thought Xavier was unwilling to teach her. She felt deeply disappointed and sighed inwardly.
Somehow, when Xavier saw the disappointment on her face, he felt a little uncomfortable on the inside. After giving it some thought, he said, “I'm not saying you can't learn it, but you've got to rely on yourself. If you encounter anything you'd like to investigate about during the next two weeks, I can help you out. After all, I've never learned this intentionally, nor have I taught anyone. The only reason I'm in this field is my talent.”
Lana's eyes sparkled when she heard his offer. That works too. I'll just learn however much I can from him.
At that thought, a delighted smile formed on her face. “Okay. Thank you, mentor!”
Upon seeing the smile on her face, Xavier's eyes twinkled. “I can’t be your mentor since I'm not even teaching you anything. You can just call me Eric.” “You can call me Lana, then. Come on, I'll take you to your room.” Lana was extremely hospitable and wanted to take Xavier to his room personally. Xavier did not reject her kind intentions and followed after her.
“This is your room. It's fully equipped with all kinds of facilities here. If you want to order your meals without going downstairs, you can give the front desk a call. If you feel like going down to have your meal, there's a restaurant for you to try. Feel free to go in there and order anything you want to eat.”
“Okay. Got it. Thanks!” Xavier's lovely almond eyes looked as though they were smiling as he stared at the enthusiastic Lana.
For some reason, Lana blushed when she saw the smile on his face.
“Well, you should get some rest. I'll get back to work now.” With that, she scurried out, looking as though she was running away.
As Xavier watched her leave, a smile tugged at his lips. He then shook his head and put down his luggage.
The sun shone brightly the next day.
