"Congratulations!" Jie said in a gleeful manner.Β
"For what?" Ru gave him an incredulous look.
"Finally, there is something that made you accept that you're not as omnipotent as you believes yourself to be," replied Jie.
"Does it seem funny to you?" She looked at him with a warning gaze.
"It's not funny. Not at all," he said. "But it's slightly difficult to believe that someone has that much hold on you. It's unimaginable."
Ru also thought about this problem. She had never let anyone have any hold on her. She was punished so many times in her life only because she didn't have the will to let others control her. But now, a single man was messing with her. He even managed to get access to a heart she had sealed behind iron walls.
She rubbed her forehead anxiously as she said, "I need something to eat." With that, she already made her way to the food table.
