"Today I learned a new thing." Antonio walked to Elara, who was waiting in the lounge for the director to arrive.
The girl raised her brows at him, her gaze shifting to where Andrew was standing with Beatrice, playing her part of being an overly concerned friend. Heck, she didn't even bring the flame that close.
"What's that?" Elara asked.
"You don't always need to use strength to win against someone," Antonio said, referring to the part where she used her lighter to make him let go of her hand.
Elara smirked before pointing at her head.
"Being powerful isn't enough if you can't use your brain. This world is leaning more towards the manipulators." She smirked, standing from her position to greet the director who arrived just then.
He clapped his hands to catch everyone's attention.
Elara could feel someone's stare on her neck, and she didn't need to be told who it was.
