Emi felt the cold voice sweep over her body like ice.
She understood Yagi was worried about Misaki, but he did not need to speak to her like she was a criminal. The least he could do was inquire about the situation normally instead of assuming she had done something wrong.
But most of all, she could not believe he called her Ms Shio.
The polite name was appropriate, but Yagi was always anxious to use a closer form of address with her. Now, he just pushed that aside to distance her during the interrogation. And to think she had so much conflict in her heart as she thought about a romantic possibility between them.
"You can wait for Misaki and talk with her." Emi took a deep breath and answered.
"I am asking you," Yagi responded firmly. "What did you say to her?"
"Why do you assume I said something to her? Do you think I would do something to harm her?" Emi lost the sadness, and her heart was filled with anger and disappointment.
