Ignoring the injury on her arm, Gem Atkinson spoke coldly, "Miss Mamet, please have some self-respect."
Tiffany Mamet was stunned. Her face changed colors from white to red, then back to white again. She was both embarrassed and astonished, and stammered, "Senior, what do you mean?"
"Men and women must maintain their distance."
Tiffany had originally intended to use her injury to gain some sympathy from Gem and take the opportunity to act coquettish in front of him. However, not only was Gem as cold as a sculpture, but his words were even colder, completely lacking any trace of tenderness.
"Senior, you... you are my senior. I, I was just..."
"Could it be that Miss Mamet has a habit of showing her wounds to all her seniors when she gets hurt?"
"No, I... " She wanted to show it only to him.
