Anna's heart hammered against her chest.
The proximity to Kristofer Almodiiel was making it hard for her to breathe. Nevertheless, Anna knew that she couldn't afford to let what she felt deprive her of doing something.
It was what Kristofer Almodiel expected her to do—nothing.
With the strength that she could muster, Anna pushed Kristofer Almodiel away from her. Yet he was strong enough that she only managed to distance him and herself with a little bit of sufficient space for her to at least calm her heart down.
Anna then scoffed.
"You're no different, Mister Almodiel. You're just like everyone else," she stated, to which Kristofer Almodiel merely raised his brows.
"Wow," he said, sounding amused. "You have branded me as one of the people on your jerk list?"
Anna scoffed yet again. She then laughed sarcastically before locking eyes with him.
