"Who do you think everyone will blame?"
"Can you answer that for me…..Miss Elizabeth."
A chilling and dangerous silence filled the shop, the air growing heavy and still as if even the faint sounds from outside had been pushed away, leaving only the quiet tension between them.
But the very next second, something unexpected happened as Elizabeth, who had been looking at Ash with cold and piercing eyes, suddenly let out a soft chuckle, as if she had just heard something interesting rather than threatening.
"You....are interesting. I like you!!!!"
