The door opened with a loud creak. The man's silhouette was barely visible in the dark, but his eyes shone with unnatural light. "I didn't wish to disturb you this late, but neither do I want for you to panic, Doctor Ziffer. Believe me, I have no ill intentions."
Eve frowned, but her shoulders relaxed a little. From the logical point of view, if Victor wanted to harm her, he had a ton of opportunities for it. From the emotional point of view… she trusted his word. He wasn't the person to throw it left and right.
Victor nodded and stepped into the room, closing the door behind him. "Right. So before you jump to the wrong conclusions, Doctor Eve, I want to clarify things."
Eve's fists clenched. "I know you are a telepath, but could you, please, don't reply to unspoken words? If you read my mind, you know I got your hint already."
"Forgive me. It was rude of me."
