Kapitel 11: Chapter 11

Simon laughed. "It's the first time I was rejected for such an ingenious reason."

Lumma smiled. "Should I feel honored?"

Simon said, "The more you are like this, the more interested I am in you."

"The more you are like this, the more I dislike you." Lumma stopped smiling and said solemnly, "Mr. Mills, I have no interest in you. Don't waste your time on me."

Simon was amused by Lumma's remarks. "Lumma, you are quite similar to Adam. You are embarrassingly straightforward and never care about others' feelings when you reject them."

Lumma said, "I don't think you feel embarrassed."

Simon was speechless.

How could that be?

Simon lost to Lumma in the debate.

There came Adam's deep voice behind them.

Lumma turned and saw Adam standing a few steps behind them. She didn't know how long he had been there and what he had heard.
