She is a very logical person.
The later the night, the colder the wind, yet the person running in the night breeze could not feel the slightest chill.
Physical strength was gradually being drained, and awareness was slowly disappearing. When stamina was pushed to its limits, only willpower could keep her going. Flossie Wright stubbornly gritted her teeth as she completed her second lap, maintaining a constant speed throughout.
And, counting the time, even if they had been jogging at a leisurely pace, they had been running for nearly four hours.
"That’s enough."
Seeing her physical capabilities reaching their breaking point, Glenn Hutchinson timely said, and before she could flop onto the ground, he extended his hand to steady her.
At the same time, without waiting for Flossie to shake off his hand, he directly led her forward - an offhanded question slipped from his lips, seeming as casual as everyday conversation, "Are you good at striking up conversations?"
While Flossie and Isaac Zachary were having a chat, Glenn Hutchinson had overheard their entire "past" – it was merely a casual encounter, yet Zachary held a "deep impression" of Flossie, that he was willing to keep her company for so long in the deep winter.
He had to admit, Flossie’s ability to casually connect with people, bothered him.
Flossie asked in a cold tone, then squinted slightly, her gaze filled with suspicion when she looked his way.
She was not as overthinking as Glenn Hutchinson. The sudden question left her unsure about what he was asking or why he did so.
However, if talking about striking up conversations...
Without directly responding to Flossie’s question, Glenn Hutchinson looked towards the faint sounds in the distance. He helped Flossie to a corner where he spotted a young couple having an argument. From their fragments of conversation, it seemed they were arguing about trivial issues. Yet, both were heated, trying to make their point at any cost.
Gently turning his head, Glenn Hutchinson looked at Flossie and asked calmly, "Feeling rested yet?"
Flossie didn’t answer, staring at him earnestly instead.
Whenever she was with Glenn Hutchinson, she had to be constantly aware of his movements. If he started to appear more leisurely, it was a clear sign that he was plotting something potentially harmful to others, but not necessarily beneficial to himself.

"Can you just give me a straightforward answer?"
After waiting for a few seconds for a response, Flossie glared at him unhappily and cut through his enigmatic silence with her words.
Resting his hand on her shoulder, Glenn Hutchinson casually raised his eyebrows, looking at the quarrelling couple, "Get the man’s phone number."
Glenn Hutchinson spoke casually, as if asking for this were as easy as asking Flossie to run a couple more steps - no difficulty at all.
After a moment of silence, Flossie turned to leave.
However, Glenn Hutchinson, who was prepared for this, had already extended his hand to block her way as she turned.
Flossie’s chill gaze glanced coldly at Glenn Hutchinson from the corner of her eyes. Yet, she was met with his deeply serious gaze. Deep within his profound eyes, it was serene and calm, devoid of any playfulness.
"Get it, and I’ll carry you back."
Glenn Hutchinson spoke slowly, as if making a promise.
After a moment of hesitation, Flossie suddenly withdrew her gaze. She turned to face him, raised her hand to point at him, and simply said, "Wait."
Without any pause, Flossie walked directly towards the quarrelling couple. Her aura adjusted throughout her brief walk. Like a wraith in the hazy night, she approached the young couple engrossed in their argument.
