Cecilia let a small smile curve across her lips as she met Dr. Kai's gaze, her composure calm yet sharp. With measured grace, she moved toward the chair across from him and sat down, crossing one leg elegantly over the other. Her movements carried the kind of quiet confidence that unsettled most men, though Dr. Kai only mirrored her smile, studying her like a puzzle he couldn't wait to solve.
"Remarkable," he said smoothly, his eyes never leaving her face. "I must say it again your beauty is striking. It isn't every day one encounters someone who carries such presence. Truly… very remarkable." His words dripped with admiration, but beneath them was a probing curiosity, as though he wanted to see how she would react.
Then Cecilia tilted her head slightly, her expression unreadable, then gave a polite nod.
"Thank you. Thank you for your compliments." Her tone was steady, free from vanity or shyness, as if she had heard similar words a thousand times before.
