Chapter 253: GOING ALONG WITH HIS PACE

"DID you call someone for help?" Astrid asked. 

Seeing as how the other first said 'stop' the moment he opened the door, it's safe to assume that the other probably saw him being dragged in this utility room and therefore decided to help rescue him. Assuming that he's not stupid, he would have definitely called someone before rushing here. 

"Yes," Snow answered unknowingly. 

"Did you call the staffs of the academy?"

"No, my bodyguards."

Snow stopped. He realized that he just answered the other's questions so naturally. Clearly, he was being dragged into the other's pace. So naturally even. A small crease appeared on his smooth forehead. 

Astrid smiled. It's good that the other didn't call the staffs. It would be easier to deal with the aftermath of this situation.

"May I ask what happened here?" Snow asked, trying to take control of the conversation.
