Byran frowned and was rendered speechless; he really couldn't comprehend her.

He had never met such a straightforward woman; she was seemingly casual yet distant.

Finally, Byran managed to speak, “You're a real straight shooter, huh?”

Ida laughed again, “That's the first time a man has described me like that; it's quite amusing!”

Bartlett squinted his eyes; he seemed to be pondering something. Then, as if he finally figured it out,
