"Why did you do that? I don't understand your teasing. Don't tell me you fell for me," Venus said, her voice laced with frustration as she crossed her arms tightly across her chest, her eyes narrowing as she awaited his response.
Odin's expression remained impassive, his gaze as cold as ice. "I did that to keep you away from me," he replied in a low, measured tone. "You were the one who approached me first, Venus. You walked into that bar knowing full well it was meant for vampires only. And you hurt me, too. You made it clear that you would never fall for a so-called 'evil vampire' like me. That's why I did what I did. Now that you have your answer, you can leave."
The sharpness of his words hit Venus like a physical blow. She opened her mouth to speak, but the words lodged in her throat, refusing to come out. For a moment, she stood there, stunned, as his cold dismissal echoed in her ears.
