About a few minutes later, Leah was getting impatient until he finally sent her a message.
"I have admired you for a long time, Reaper." The text message wrote.
Leah stared at the message blankly.
She thought for a while before typing out, "In what way?"
It seemed like her message had taken him by surprise. After a while, he replied, "I admire the way you write. Judging by how you made your characters, I think you have a cute personality too."
Leah stared at the message. It seemed like a formal compliment.
She lost her interest. However, she still replied, "Now that you've got my number, thank you again for not demanding to be paid. But then, that was your choice to make. I don't owe it to you for making small talk like this."
She sounded a little indifferent.
He replied after a while, "Are you in a bad mood?"
These words hit Leah straight in the heart.
He could already tell that she was in a bad mood through her text messages.
She replied, "It's not that. I just have a bad temper."
He sent a smiling emoji with a hand covering the mouth, and then added a sentence, "I can see it now. I just wanted to get to know you. Normal people would be afraid to approach you like this, but I'd like to think I'm unique."
Leah's mood became brighter upon seeing the text message.
She laughed and replied, "Sorry. I was really in a bad mood. But then, I don't really like chatting with other people too, especially men."
He asked again, "What happened? Also, why do you not like talking to men?"
Leah thought that she could just be honest as she didn't know him in real life.
She replied, "Men are the worst. They're heartless and not committed. They tend to go after those who they can never get, and then after they've won someone over, they'll look for another again."
He didn't reply for a long while upon receiving this.
Leah laughed as she saw that he wasn't typing either.
She felt like she had gone crazy, especially after experiencing Hogan's incident and also Ernest's attitude on the same day. That was why she was this defensive against men.
They would probably get annoyed too if they heard Leah describing men in this way.
Leah laughed out loud at this thought. She didn't send him another message. She was waiting to see if she scared him off.
She suddenly anticipated seeing his reply.
She hoped that it would be as impressive as his writing content.
However, there was only dead silence from his end.
It took him a couple of minutes to finally be typing.
"Were you hurt by some men out there that left you traumatized?" He asked.
