After giving up asking Xavier to punish Justin, Iris turned her attention to her cell phone. Ignoring Xavier, who also seemed reluctant to talk to her.
However, she started to feel a bit uneasy sitting in the room just with him. This man really knew how to test her nerves, and even his silence sent a shiver down her spine.
She didn't like this feeling!
Checking her watch a few times, she mumbled under her breath, 'Why does ten minutes feel like forever?'
Her gaze occasionally stops at him just to check his expression. But his expression is unchanged. Cold and distance!
"Iris, just go ahead and say what's on your mind," Xavier's voice breaks the silence, making her snap out slightly.
Hurriedly, she turns her gaze toward the frozen lake outside while scolding him in her mind. She had thought he would cease the conversation, but he surprised her.
"Why are you avoiding me?" he asked once more.
