Professor Cardin's offer was tempting. Amane would even say that it was too tempting to ignore. And that was precisely why she decided to turn her head away and say 'No, thank you.'
Professor Cardin did not look too offended by Amane's refusal and he even grinned while looking away. The look in his eyes assured Amane that she would be forced to come back to him.
"Fine, do what you want. I did my duty to inform you that I can help you out. Whether you choose to take my help or not now…that is up to you to decide."
Professor Cardin went back inside once he was finished speaking. Amane watched his back as he left with a calm look on her face. Inside her brain, she was calculating whether she wanted to believe his words or not.
But all this could wait since Amane had an appointment to keep. She quickly entered her room and watched the sleeping form of Ely.
