Amelia pressed her lips together as she looked at him, "We had an agreement."
"I didn't say I was going to do anything to you." Daniel said, reaching out to pull her closer, "Why do you stay so far away from me? Do you think I'm a monster?"
Amelia blocked him with the ginger soup in her hand, raising an eyebrow, "Close enough."
He chuckled and withdrew his hand, but then suddenly changed the topic, "Are you still in contact with Master Harvey?"
"Huh?" Amelia was caught off guard by his abrupt change in thought and was momentarily stunned.
He explained patiently,
"Yesterday, Mason's gallery sold a painting, and the buyer was interested in a long-term collaboration. The artist is very mysterious, and cannot be contacted beyond their QQ number. The style of the painting resembles that of Master Harvey, so I thought I'd ask on Mason's behalf if the artist might be one of your fellow apprentices or something."
