Without even sparing Claudia a glance, Sebastian was about to leave with Ernest.
Claudia stepped forward and blocked his way with a smile on her face. "Where do you think you're going? I was no match for your brother, but it doesn't mean I'm no match for you."
He frowned. "That's not necessarily true."
"Is that so?" Her eyes lit up as she looked him up and down. "Does that mean you're good at fighting too?"
She was shorter than him, so he lowered his head to look at her and said curtly, "Step aside."
"No way. We haven't gotten to know each other." She smiled.
"I have nothing to talk to you about," Sebastian replied.
"Well, I do. I already gave you what you wanted to know and answered all your questions. Shouldn't you answer some of mine too?"
No matter what he said, she had no intention of stepping aside.
If Sebastian went left, Claudia would too, and vice
versa.
Judging from the looks of it, there was no way she would give in.
His patience was wearing thin, but he did not show his agitation on his face. Instead, he said calmly, "What do you want?"
"You..." Here, she deliberately paused before continuing her sentence. "Do you have any guesses?"
She was definitely doing it on purpose.
However, Sebastian was not amused. He gazed at her coldly.
She smiled even more brightly, saying, "Come on, it's a joke. Don't get mad."
"What exactly do you want?" he asked again, a look of displeasure evident in his eyes.
"I want to know how you came to be so good at reading others at such a young age?" Claudia asked.
"It's an innate talent," Sebastian answered simply.
Claudia chuckled and nodded. "I know that it isn't something one can learn. Don't you find it interesting to have such an ability?"
"Not really," Sebastian replied indifferently.
"Well, I do. Don't you want to make use of your talents?" She arched her eyebrows, her eyes were
shining as if she was up to something.
"No, I don't." His attitude was resolute. He shook his head, showing he had no interest.
"Don't rush to make the decision now. You should keep your options open."
"No, I believe in my choice." Sebastian was adamant.
"I think you should think it through. I know how you can make good use of it. And if you refuse me now, I'll just continue bugging you." Claudia sounded like she was threatening him.
He glanced at her and said, "You've been bugging me since the beginning."
"Hey!" she growled. "I'm not that annoying, okay?"
"You're just too stubborn to admit it," he retorted.
