Eric's face, though hidden behind a mask, still revealed that familiar, sarcastic cold smirk in his icy eyes that Norris Moore knew all too well.
"So, ignorance is bliss, huh?"
His gritty voice carried a trace of mockery, like a cold needle piercing straight into Norris Moore's heart.
What Norris disliked the most was the condescending attitude Eric used whenever he dealt with her, as if she were oblivious to the struggles of the world. She furrowed her brows, glaring at him. "You brought me here just to mock me? Don't tell me you've sunk to being this petty."
Eric glanced at her briefly before lowering his gaze, lost in thought. After a moment, he raised his hand and slowly removed the mask from his face.
When his face was exposed under the light, Norris couldn't help but hold her breath. Her eyes narrowed slightly, a look of disbelief flashing across her face.
"You... your face..."
Eric, devoid of emotion, pulled the black mask back on. His tone was flat: "Burned."
