Trust and A Little Arrogance

It was not only Olivia who was taken aback by what Cassidy just said - Charles also did not see that coming.

He knew her for being so kind that she's angelic - in and out, and she doesn't really make fun of others out of malice.

"Say, is half an hour enough?"

"W-What?"
