Clara's hand trembled, raising it to cover her lips. She could feel her eyes sting. Her heart clenched as she absorbed what had just occurred.
She couldn't believe how this man just violated her as if it was nothing. A place so prestigious, he had tainted it! Clara's vision blurred as her anger turned into tears. The feeling of helplessness before this man and no one came to her aid, she could only tremble in fear.
"Ah?" Niko blinked his eyes innocently. "Wait, what? Why are you suddenly crying?"
He asked, genuinely appalled at the sight of her. "Hey, I just tried to shut you up politely! You've been screaming nonsense, so I gotta do what I need to do!"
Niko, for some reason, showed panic at the sight of the crying lady in front of him. Yet, Clara's tears rolled down her cheeks as she covered her lips, pressing her palm to resist the lingering touch of his lips.
