"Take a seat," Wang Xiao stated, his voice neither harsh nor welcoming, but commanding in its simplicity.
Josephine, her mind swirling with questions and apprehensions, felt a twinge of nervousness. 'Is this an interrogation?' she wondered, swallowing the lump in her throat as she moved towards the chair.
Her movements were tentative, betraying her inner turmoil.
Sitting down, she placed her hands in her lap, adopting a reserved posture.
Her fingers fidgeted, betraying her anxiety.
She looked up at Wang Xiao, searching his face for any clue about what was to come. "Why am I here?" she finally asked, her voice carrying a mix of fear and curiosity. "What do you want from me?"
Wang Xiao regarded her for a moment, his gaze assessing. "You were in danger. I intervened. As for why you're here," he paused, choosing his words carefully, "it's safer for you right now. As for what I want, that will depend on your answers."
