This man! He is dangerous!
As I hastily stood up from my seat, I took a few steps backward to keep some distance from Mr. Gilbert. He appeared amused seeing me so agitated. We were just standing there while observing each other.
With the corner of my eyes, I glanced at the door on my left side. Good, the coast is clear. I could dash out of the room if necessary. In fact, I should've done that in the first place. My bad premonition came true as always.
"What's wrong? What are you afraid of? You look at me like I was some kind of monster."
Mr. Gilbert's light voice interrupted my train of thought. He was standing a few steps away from me, and I was ready to run out anytime if he tried to do funny business with me.
Mr. Gilbert chuckled. "Don't worry, I won't eat you. I said it before, right? I thought highly of you." He said as he started to move towards me.
I glared at him while stretching my hand forward. "Don't come any closer."
