Rob did not say anything. Right now, all Jessica needed was someone to talk to. He could see that the girl had been suppressing her dissatisfaction for a long time, and it was not just because of the banquet. The conflict between her, her brother, and her father had been going on for a long time, and it was not as simple as one or two incidents. It was like a room full of dry wood, and something that happened at the banquet not long ago was like a raging fire that completely ignited the firewood in the room. Thus, all the accumulated conflicts erupted at this moment.
Jessica left the banquet angrily, and walked to the most remote lounge alone. She wanted to have some peace and quiet, but when she opened the door, she found someone else inside.
The first meeting between the two was a little awkward. Perhaps to break the awkward atmosphere, the female Magician took the initiative to introduce herself. However, at that time, it was clear that she was still angry, so the introduction sounded more like a way to vent her anger.
In fact, after saying those words, Jessica regretted it. After all, this was an internal matter of her family. No matter how dissatisfied she was, she should not have told an outsider about it, not to mention that the other party was just a stranger. Just five minutes ago, when she opened the door, the two of them did not know each other, and even now, she did not know his name. But strangely, from the first time she saw him, she had an inexplicable sense of trust in him. Perhaps this was the reason why she could not help but pour out all the bitterness in her heart to him.
JESSICA did not know where this trust came from. It was as if she had gone to a dance party where everyone was wearing a mask and carefully dancing to the beat. Only one person was standing quietly at the edge of the dance floor with a calm expression, not moving at all.
This feeling was somewhat familiar.
Something flashed in the female Magician's mind. Intuition told her that it was something very important, but when she tried hard to recall it, she could not remember it. After that, Jessica realized that she might have been thinking for a little too long. After she came back to her senses, she apologized to the other party. "I'm sorry for making a fool of myself. But we … have we met before?"
"Fox Corey, from a small family in the north. But I'm probably a little luckier than you. I'm the eldest son of the family, and I don't have an elder brother. With my identity, I shouldn't be here, but a distant cousin of mine happened to be in Gudilesi City. He brought me here. This is my first time in the south, so if you haven't been to the north before, this should be the first time we meet." The future supreme magus, Your Honor, revealed the identity that D 'Adarion had prepared for him.
"Fox?" The female Magician silently remembered this name that was destined to exist for only one night. After that, she said in a serious tone, "Nice to meet you."
Jessica herself could not tell why. The other party's appearance could not be considered ugly, but he was not handsome either. He looked very ordinary in all aspects. Among the guests tonight, he was even more inconspicuous. However, she could not help but want to get close to him. That feeling … That feeling was as if the person that she had been looking for had finally appeared in front of her.
Could this be the love at first sight that everyone often talked about? Otherwise, how could she explain this familiar feeling? When the female Magician thought of this, she felt a little flustered. She wanted to take a sip of champagne to ease her nervousness, but when she brought the glass to her mouth, she found that it was empty. This made Jessica even more embarrassed, especially when she found that Rob was looking at her.
"No, I'm sorry. Tonight, my head has been groggy." The female Magician could not remember how many times she had apologized in just a few minutes.
The future Supreme Magician Your Honor shook his head. He opened the wine cabinet at the side and glanced at Earl Nathan's collection. "There's no champagne here. How about fruit wine?"
Jessica nodded and passed the empty glass in her hand to him. "Thank you."
"It's nothing." The future Supreme Magician Your Honor poured half a glass of wine for the female Magician.
When Jessica took the wine glass, she realized that the other party was staring at her chest. She couldn't help but blush. She was a little angry, but also a little happy. That guy called 'Fox' seemed to be very focused on her, which made her heart beat wildly again.
The female Magician found that she was a little flustered. What if the other party did something even more outrageous? Although she did not hate the man in front of her, the two of them had only known each other for a few minutes. Furthermore, they were in someone else's house. Although this lounge was a little secluded, she could not rule out the possibility of someone suddenly barging in …
While Jessica's thoughts were still running wild, the fellow called Fox spoke again. "May I ask what material the buttons of your gown are made of?"
Jessica was stunned when she heard that. What kind of question was that? But after some thought, she still answered him honestly. "If it's the button, it should be made of pine crystal. However, it's been processed, and there's a layer of silver on it."
The future Supreme Magician Your Honor had a strange expression on his face. He obviously knew how strange his next request was, but after a moment of hesitation, he still asked, "Uh … Can you give me one of these buttons?"
Jessica had heard of the strange hobbies of some nobles. Some of them were passionate about collecting women's personal belongings. Could it be that this courteous Fox was one of them? She could not help but shiver. The realization made her feel a little uncomfortable. In fact, the female Magician did not need to think much to reject him. "I'm afraid I can't do that. I don't have any extra buttons on my body, and the two buttons on my gown cannot be removed."
"I'm sorry, I was too presumptuous." Rob nodded slightly. His eyes were very clear, which made the girl feel a little apologetic. She felt that she might have misunderstood him, so she added, "If you really like it, I'll find the tailor who made this gown to help you get another button. So, can you leave me your address?"
Jessica mustered up the courage to say this, but to her disappointment, the other party did not respond immediately. Rob seemed to be in a difficult position. Just as he was about to explain, a voice came from the corridor. The voice was calling the female Magician's name.
JESSICA's expression changed. "It's my brother and that young master from the Prince family. They're here to find me. I'd better go out first. Those two are very annoying people. You won't want to see them."
