In Shion's office, Nolan and Leona sat facing each other in tense silence.
Leona clenched her fists, feeling fear and panic rising inside her.
'I was right—this man is a reincarnator!'
Cold sweat beaded on her forehead and trickled down her neck.
Her breathing quickened as various possibilities flashed through her mind.
'Will he kill me?'
'Or will he hold me captive?'
She had no idea.
'What should I do? Run away?'
'Was that even possible?'
Leona's eyes darted around the room.
There was no way out. The exit was closed, and even if she managed to reach the door, the man would surely catch her.
Just as she sat there trembling in panic, Nolan's voice rang out.
"Are you scared?"
Leona tensed. She stiffly looked up at him and met his playful gaze.
"I-I…"
She tried to speak, but no words came out. It felt as though an invisible force was holding her back.
But Leona knew that force didn't exist. She was simply too afraid to speak.
"Didn't I tell you earlier? Don't worry."
