Talia's afterglow caught Merkel's frowning brow, the dissatisfaction already written on the butler's face, and Thalia knew what he was upset about.

It was a rather luxurious manor, with the name of the high society written on every decoration, and she jumped from the roof and landed in the garden, and any housekeeper of the manor had the right to pick up a shotgun and shoot such an uninvited guest.

Schiller, on the other hand, opened the door to greet her, and even offered her wine and food, and he chose the usual polite topic of high society, talking about a character who knew both parties.

In this environment, all of Schiller's behavior is normal, even tolerant and patient, but all of Talia's behavior seems to be crazy, and it is like the madness caused by the paranoia of victimization, the anger that is unwarrantedly speculative about others, and maliciously associated.

No matter how loud Talia's instincts were to alarm her, no matter how dangerous her killer instincts told her about Schiller, no matter how many ways Schiller had imagined in her head, in the real world, Schiller didn't do anything, did he?

This makes it seem that Talia's various excesses are very inappropriate, extremely unseemly, and even outright rude and worthy of reproach.

Talia did her best to suppress her anger, but despite this, she couldn't put on a smile and say sorry to Schiller.

It was obviously Schiller who ignored her, so why should she apologize?

Talia sat there with a cold face, ignoring the red wine stains on the back of her hands and on the table, picked up her glass and poured two sips of cold red wine, which cleared her mind a little.

"Are you going to respond to my father's solicitation?" Talia could hear how stiff her tone was, and it sounded like a warning with an implied personal threat.

Merkel had already stood up completely through the door, putting on a defensive posture, as if to guard against the mad woman going crazy, but Talia gradually felt less strange, and she even understood Merkel's way of doing so.

He's just a butler who doesn't know anything, Talia thought, hearing the guests speak to their hosts in such a tone, it's inevitable that she will guess that her next step is a clear threat, and if things get to this point, Merkel will have to invite the rude guests out in order to save her job.

"It's too early to call this a solicitation, miss." Schiller sat back down again in an elegant gesture, gently put his handkerchief back in his pocket, and said in a calm tone, "We have only exchanged our views on the world for a while, and it has been of great benefit to me to have a conversation with your father, who is a man of great learning, and I will visit him if possible." ”

"You can't go!" Talia immediately raised her tone.

Schiller seemed to be startled again, and then he looked at Talia with that puzzled gaze.

There was a smug feeling in Talia's heart, she had finally let the calm man break the job, and Talia thought that now Schiller must be wondering why she would object.

"Don't worry, miss." Schiller opened his mouth and said, "If you mind, I will try to avoid mentioning you in the course of communication with your father. ”

Schiller chose to appease...... How could he choose to appease?!

Talia's anger burns again, which proves that Schiller chose to abandon thinking about her logic from the beginning, and only wanted to appease her emotions.

This situation usually only occurs when adults choose to soothe the crying of children who are too young and deal with the barking of pet cats and dogs.

Because in the face of children who have no ability to think independently and cats and dogs who are completely unable to communicate, it is meaningless to think about the thinking logic behind their crying.

Just like people don't think about why dogs have to go outside to play, what is the joy of playing frisbee for dogs, they just need to know the logic of dogs' behavior, that is, dogs will be happy when they go out to play, and then decide whether to take dogs out to play when they bark.

When they decide not to take the dog out to play, they will not wonder why the dog can't understand the bad weather today and can't go out to play, they will only choose to calm the dog's emotions and let them calm down as soon as possible.

They know very well that muttering to the dog, "It's bad weather so you can't go out today" doesn't really do anything, just to show an attitude to appease the troublesome pet.

But if it's a client at work or a partner in life, they will do their best to explain to each other how bad the weather really is, so that they can't go out.

The reason why the phrase "you dissipate your anger first" makes the other person more angry is because it makes the person who hears this sentence feel a kind of humiliation caused by not paying attention to it, as if he has become the dog, and thinks that the most fundamental reason why the other party does not want to reason with him is that he has never been regarded as an intelligent creature with equality, in this case, the emotional appeasement will only be counterproductive.

The correct way to do this is to do the opposite, that is, to pay attention to the logic of the other person's thinking and ask him "what do you think" and "why do you think that way".

Of course, there will also be people who speak upside down and can't express their thoughts clearly, so they just need to be a repeater and keep repeating "Can you say it again?" I didn't understand," until the other person is tired.

As for accusations such as "why are you so stupid" and "I have said it so clearly, you still don't understand whether you are stupid" and so on, you just need to take it all as it is, and once the vast majority of such people feel that you don't understand people at all, you will never again be a victim of their unbridled output of opinions.

As long as you take turns adhering to the two points of view of "you're crazy" and "it's me who is crazy", there will be no more difficulties in interpersonal communication.

And now, Schiller's behavior of only trying to appease Talia's emotions and not caring about the logic of her thinking completely angers Talia, because it supports Talia's previous assumption that Schiller completely ignored her, and probably only treated her as a crying baby.

In fact, Talia is very good at dealing with all kinds of dangerous confrontations, because she has a lot of experience, but she has almost never dealt with a situation where someone else completely ignores her.

From a realistic point of view, Talia is indeed not an easy person to ignore, she is very beautiful and aggressive, and she is imagined by courageless men, and pursued by courageous men.

Even if Bruce only saw her as a simple enemy, he would have to arrange a banquet carefully, create a toxin that Talia would not notice, and even call his accomplices to be prepared.

Because Talia was difficult to deal with in every way, she had never been treated like a helpless baby.

Talia simply felt a ridiculous ridiculousness, why did Schiller dare to treat her like this? Did he think that because she didn't have weaknesses in herself, she didn't have to worry about others becoming her targets?

Following the dangerous thought in her heart, Talia rose to her feet, and she rushed behind Merkel at a great speed and grabbed him by the neck.

"Stand there and don't move." Talia said coldly.

And Schiller's face showed the confusion and confusion that made Talia angry, as if he had done nothing, and Talia had suddenly gone mad.

Talia realized that this was the case, and judging by the angry look on the face of the butler she was holding hostage, it seemed that in the eyes of the others, she was being vexatious.

Schiller also got up from the couch, and he said in a helpless attitude that drove Talia mad: "This is a bit out of line, miss, even if I am offended by words, you should not implicate my butler, he is just an ordinary person, please let him go, okay?" ”

As soon as Talia was about to say something, Schiller interrupted her and said, "Calm down, Mademoiselle, I know you may have just been on the spur of the moment, and I apologize again for my offense." ”

Talia felt the muscles in her throat twitch constantly, the unbearable sourness and constant pressure made her not know what to say, why was Schiller still calming her emotions?! Why don't you pay attention to her reasons for doing this?!

Talia thought that she might have been standing there again and thinking for a long time, because when she came back to her senses, a cold anger finally appeared on Schiller's face.

Is he going to do it? Talia's fingers tightened a little more, feeling nervous and excited, she didn't think she could outright the man, but a fight was the best way to deal with the confusion of the situation.

But Schiller didn't make a move, he just walked to the telephone desk next to him with a little anger, looked at Talia as he dialed, and said, "I'm afraid I'll have to tell your father about your faux pas, Miss Talia, which will make me reconsider the need to cooperate with your father......"

Talia froze in place, she looked down at Merkel's neck, which she was clutching in her hands, and then at Schiller's dialing, almost screaming: "Why don't you attack me?!" I kidnapped your housekeeper!! ”

Schiller just shook his head helplessly and sighed, and when the phone was connected, he said to the other side as if he was suppressing his anger: "Mr. Lei Xiaogu, I'm sorry, I contacted you again so soon, and I have to ...... about your daughter."

Schiller paused as she spoke, and Thalia could clearly hear that it was Lei Xiaogu who had interrupted her.

"Oh yes, I remember you mentioned about collaboration...... No, I'm afraid we can't talk about it for now, because your daughter has done some very rude things on my estate, and she is even holding my butler hostage......"

Schiller took his spare glance to sweep Talia as he spoke, and soon he took the telephone receiver and said to Talia, "Miss Talia, your father asked you to answer the phone. ”

"Tell him I won't answer!"

Schiller's eyes widened slightly as if he had been startled again, Talia couldn't stand it anymore, she didn't want to look at Schiller's innocent attitude as if he had done nothing but unilaterally dealt with a madman, so she threw Merkel aside, and rushed forward to take the mobile phone receiver.

Talia couldn't resist picking on the Assassin League's hostile relationship with Schiller, and then blatantly attacked him.

But Lei Xiaogu on the other end of the phone said in a deep voice, "Go and apologize to Professor Rodriguez." ”

Talia's eyes widened and she stood like an ice sculpture at the phone, and then she couldn't help but growl, "What the hell are you doing?" Aren't we ......"

"Don't say stupid things, you idiot! Professor Rodriguez is our future partner, and you stupidly held his butler hostage, now go and apologize to him! ”

"It's impossible to !!" Talia screamed.

"It's an order!" Lei Xiaogu's voice was not emotional, and he said, "You know what the consequences of disobeying orders will be, and we will talk about your reckless punishment when we come back." ”

At this point, Thalia realized the cold reality that her dignity was nothing compared to the benefits that Schiller could bring to the Assassin League.

Even though Talia thought she had long been accustomed to nothing bigger than his ideals in Lei Xiaogu's eyes, she felt a pain and chill that invaded her whole body as the knife plunged into her heart in a cold way that had never been seen before.

She hung up the phone with a somewhat sluggish motion, and stood in front of the telephone desk for a long time.

Suddenly, Talia turned her head and saw Schiller, who had sent Merkel out of the room, standing in the center of the room again, silent as a mountain.

Talia tugged at the corners of her mouth a little stiffly, trying to keep her last decent with a smile, and she said as if she didn't care, "You know he doesn't care......"

She could hear the tremors in her own intonation, like a vase shattered by a dart.

Talia imagined that Schiller must have been very proud at this time, because his attitude towards her was completely correct, and Lei Xiaogu's indifferent attitude proved that even his own father would abandon her in front of interests, and who had to pay attention to her?

"Thank you for letting go of my housekeeper, miss."

Schiller leaned sideways to get the remote control of the air conditioner on the table, looked up and used the button to adjust the temperature of the air conditioner, then put one hand on the back of the sofa and looked at Talia, and said:

"I see you're shivering, maybe it's because the air conditioner is too cold, do you still feel cold?"

Talia just folded her shoulders, crossed her arms and bowed her head, and shook her head in silence as Schiller walked over to his desk.

Talia looked up at his back, thinking of the metaphor that had made her angry.

At this time, she tasted another meaning from it - at least the man in front of her would comfort her than the owner who only needed a vicious dog to bite the enemy, wouldn't he?

In reality, I encountered a similar situation: running !! Running without looking back!!
