Enna Clark was caught off guard by his sudden pull, struggling and retreating, "Baron Lawrence, don't joke around."
"Do I look like I'm joking?" He's not joking with her now!
Enna soon realized that he was serious, and in her panic, she hastily said, "I was just talking nonsense..."
But before she could finish, she was interrupted by his angry voice, "Even talking nonsense is not allowed!"
This was a matter of life and death for her!
He wouldn't allow the slightest mistake!
Enna had never seen his face look so terrible before. Her heart tightened as she realized the sheer determination he had on this issue. With no time to think, she quickly tried to reassure him while pulling on the table, "I won't say it again, I won't ever mention it. I promise!"
"Promise?"
"Yes, I promise!"
The cold, imposing man stopped in his tracks, his tall and striking figure lit by a fierce gaze that scrutinized her face, seemingly gauging the credibility of her promise.
