Neither Cassian nor Olga was willing to back down, while inside the bedroom, Cixi was slowly losing patience.
Why was Cassian taking so long?
Only Olga and the butler knew Cassian was alive, so Cixi knew no one else could be standing outside. She had already waited long enough, and curiosity was beginning to trouble her. She wanted to go and see for herself, but she also knew Cassian rarely warned anyone without meaning it, especially Her.
Still, the temptation to find out what he would actually do if she deliberately disobeyed him was becoming stronger.
Cixi moved towards the edge of the bed and sat there for a moment, her feet dangling only a few inches above the floor. She stared at the bedroom door for several seconds before lowering one foot slightly.
Nothing happened. She lowered it another inch.
"That is it. I will have to cut off your feet." Cassian's deadpan voice came from the doorway.
