"I know we had some disagreements before, Miss Hesta," Bree raised her eyebrows, "but I hope you can know that I am always dealing with the situation and not the person - I am a man, there is no need to make things difficult for you. Poor...young man. I know you also have mercury needles. Although you are very ill now, I have always admired mercury needles——"
"Did you just say 'sick woman'?"
Bree let out a sudden sneer, "I didn't say that. In fact, Miss Hesta, I have been treating you as a man since I knew you were a mercury needle - maybe I have offended you, but I certainly have not. Anywhere you’ve been slighted.”
"...What does it mean to think of me as a man, when I don't look like a woman?"
"I mean I respect you! Oh my God!" Bree rolled his eyes and cursed in a low voice, his voice suddenly rising, "Are my words so difficult to understand? Or do you just want to-"
The glowing light at the elevator entrance turned to the number five again, and the door opened with a ding.
"Forget it, I'm not speculating." Bree stepped into the car, "I wish you peace!"
The elevator door slowly closed, and Bree angrily pressed the number six several times. Although he didn't look out, he could clearly feel that Hesta's eyes had been falling on him - these blue eyes. Occasionally he would show some expressions that made his hair stand on end.
But there's nothing surprising about this - there aren't many normal people in the Mercury Needle.
After Bree left, Rico walked out from behind the fire door in the distance.
Seeing Hesta's hands empty, Rico was a little surprised: "Where are your books?"
Hesta patted the shelf under the wheelchair.
Rico stepped forward and pushed Hesta back, "What were you talking about just now, some suspicious person?"
"How much did you hear?"
"I basically heard everything he said, but your voice was too soft," Rico lowered his voice, "Did you threaten him?"
Hesta looked up in disbelief: "I threatened him? It's hard for me to stand up now. I threatened him..."
"Then why is he so anxious all of a sudden?"
"I just lied to him that you were chasing a suspicious person," Hesta thought for a moment, "I guess he saw the "Male Awakening" and thought this 'suspicious person' was one of theirs."
Li Ge was even more puzzled, "...Why is he nervous because he is one of theirs?"
"Who knows, maybe one of their people is doing something bad, and he's afraid of being caught by you... But he took the book away, and we have to find a way to get it back. Can you—"
Hesta's words suddenly stopped, and she looked beyond Rico - Agnes was walking toward them menacingly, and soon after, Meyer's figure also appeared in the corridor.
"You two must have done it." Agnes's voice was filled with anger, but she tried her best to keep her voice down so as not to attract the attention of passengers in other suites.
Hesta took a deep breath. She put her elbows on the armrests of her wheelchair and intertwined her fingers: "What are you referring to?"
"Call Meyer back!" Agnes's face almost turned lavender, "You know that there is something going on here, but you still want to bring Meyer with you -"
"What's going on? Are you going to watch a movie?"
Agnes was at a loss for words, her hands almost trembling with rage.
"Come on," Rico patted Hestad on the shoulder, and she looked at Agnes, "You also stay calm, ma'am."
Meyer looked at her sister worriedly and tried to hold her hand, "Ege..."
"You don't have to worry about our affairs! Put away your self-righteous good intentions!" Agnes shook off Meyer's hand, "If something happens to Meyer today, I will never let you go—"
"Really?" Hesta leaned back, "One piece of cloth can cause trouble for you, so why don't you let me go?"
"simple……"
Rico's expression was complicated - Hesta's words clearly hit Agnes's point of annoyance precisely, and it was the same reason why Bree ran away without saying a few words just now.
She didn't even know when Hesta had practiced so well...
"Of course I have my own way," Agnes gritted her teeth and said, "If you want to know... you can try it."
"Okay." Hesta nodded happily.
Agnes left angrily, and Meyer was startled. He bowed lightly to Hesta and Rico, then turned around and trotted back with his sister.
"That!" Li Ge took a few steps forward, "If there was something going on in your house just now, I would have rushed in. We blocked the door and could enter at any time."
Agnes's footsteps suddenly stopped. Her expression was still angry, but she was still much more polite to Rico.
"Thank you, Ms. Rico." Iger's throat moved, and she adjusted her breathing, "But I really don't want to emphasize to you anymore that I don't need anyone's help. Your kind intentions are nothing. No...I'm sorry, I don't want to be so rude, but please keep your own boundaries-"
Before Agnes finished speaking, Hesta had already rolled over and followed her, "That's not possible. I am a very reciprocal person -"
The veins on Agnes's forehead popped out again. She pulled Meyer up and ran back to her room in large strides. This time, the two sisters stood guard inside the door until the door was really locked before turning around and going back to the room.
Li Ge put his hands on his hips and turned around: "Why are you teasing her so politely? Is there anything you can't say properly?"
"I'm basically repeating what she said. Isn't this a good idea?"
"'Why don't you let me go?' Is this a provocation?"
"That's her threatening me," Hesta tilted her head, "She's threatening me."
Rico laughed: "You said she can't even deal with a Bree——"
"Obviously you feel the same way," Hesta blinked, "So you can only say that I stated the facts reasonably, and that cannot be considered a provocation——"
"I understand," Rico made a fist with his right hand and tapped his left palm, "...you and Anna learned bad things in just one morning."
Hesta frowned, "...I didn't?"
"You do! You woke up this morning and you were alone normally, but as soon as you came back from Anna's place, you became weird!"
"I don't--"
Rico pushed Hesta towards their own suite. The two of them kept saying "You have it" and "I don't have it". No one could convince the other. Until Rico took out the key card and was about to open the door, there was a sudden sound in the elevator. There was a loud noise, and someone was banging on the car.
Rico quickly pushed Hesta towards the elevator entrance - none of the glow lights showing the elevator floor were on, and the copper pointer was stuck between five and six, unable to move. At the same time they heard Bree's voice, frantically yelling "Is anyone there?"
It seems that for such a long time, his elevator has not successfully risen to the sixth floor, but has been stuck in the elevator shaft.
"Brie?" Rico shouted, covering his ears.
"This thing is stuck!" Bree's voice came from above, followed by the sound of punches and kicks, "Is there any mistake?"
"Press the emergency call and report the situation to the crew," Rico said coldly. "If you do anything else, be careful not to fall down with anyone and the cabin."
