With a burst of youthful exuberance, Raymond pushed the door open with a hearty laugh, the fragrance of flowers immediately filled his nostrils, refreshing his heart and mind, but as he laughed, his voice gradually turned into a forced chuckle...
"Hahaha... hic..."
At the moment their eyes met, for some unknown reason, Raymond suddenly felt a drop in his aura, as if his thoughts were being penetrated. Despite being used to navigating through life's storms, he found himself at a loss, especially with those intelligent eyes seemingly able to see right through him. This left Raymond slightly alarmed and uneasy.
"So it's Colonel Raymond. Please have a seat." The young lady's voice was gentle, her movements graceful, like a dragonfly touching the water, as she offered him a seat.
"I apologize for the intrusion. Miss, please sit down."
