He sighed heavily at my question and responded, "I am tainted by those evil women back in my hometown. They didn't even spare a young man who hasn't even come of age yet. I wanted to hide those ugly things from you. I don't want you to be disgusted with me. As for confirming if I was an assassin, why is it so important for you to know if I work for Noir or not?"
I smiled at him but chose not to answer his question. I simply asked another question instead, "So what brings you into my room? You didn't even knock and just came in. Even Galen who is my official lover doesn't do that. You even tried touching me. Aren't you being too familiar with me now?"
He looked at me as if stunned. He suddenly looked away and with a slightly panicked voice answered, "I was just surprised to see you here. I was trying to remove a few strands of hair covering your face so I can see you better."
