In the candlelight, Anthony Davis seemed to be enveloped in a layer of sacred light, which made people feel only self-conscious, one of them being Emilia Johnny.
She felt that having such impure thoughts about such an outstanding man was truly somewhat beastly.
Anthony Davis smiled, his eyes fixed on Emilia Johnny without turning: "Because I promised you, and I cannot break my promise."
Emilia Johnny quickly avoided his gaze, no, she could hardly bear it, his ordinary look made her feel like, in his eyes, she was his entire world, a mere illusion.
She took two deep breaths to avoid losing her composure, and asked in a small voice: "Is it just because... you don't want to break your promise?"
When the Secretary said those words, she was overwhelmed with emotion, but now she thought carefully, he had always been true to his word about everything, so... it wasn't something special for her, he simply didn't want to break his promise to anyone.
Anthony Davis: "What?"
