Lin Luo drew a light breath, shifted his body, and said, "I'd rather not waste time. Go ahead and tell me."
"Yes!"
Yuriko Takagi was just about to answer when she seemed to hear something. Her brows furrowed slightly, and her gaze instinctively moved beneath the coffee table.
In an instant!
Her pupils contracted sharply, and shock flashed through her eyes.
Th-this is...
Her body trembled, unable to quite accept what was before her.
That girl!
She's Saya's classmate, isn't she?
Come to think of it...
It was because of her...
That I had the chance to meet Lin Luo alone.
I knew her relationship with Lin Luo was unusual.
But this is just...
Looking at Yuriko Takagi, Lin Luo said with a faint, teasing smile, "What is it? Is there a problem?"
"N-no problem."
Yuriko Takagi quickly shook her head and composed herself, her expression turning solemn.
Today may be my only chance. How can I let myself get distracted?
"Actually, I've heard a great many rumors about you, sir."
Without any hesitation, she knelt directly on the floor.
"Lord Lin Luo, I, Yuriko Takagi, wish to serve you in any way I can."
Just as I thought.
Lin Luo wasn't surprised. He merely looked at Yuriko Takagi calmly.
Under Lin Luo's gaze...
Yuriko Takagi's body gradually stiffened, and she grew terribly uneasy.
Before she knew it, a fine sheen of sweat had formed on her forehead.
The room grew increasingly quiet.
The only sound was the coffee table slowly shifting.
But!
Yuriko Takagi no longer had any attention to spare for Rei Miyamoto.
All she could feel was an invisible pressure that left her unable to breathe.
Am I...
Going to be rejected?
If that happened, all her businesses would probably have nowhere left to stand.
After all!
