Chapter 60 - All-out
Meanwhile, at Gray Mansion, Davi"s face was blazing red the moment she ended the call.
She did not know what to feel at that moment. Especially when the person on the other side of the phone did not talk at all. She couldn"t help but wonder what was going on. Was there something wrong? Was he busy?
Truth was that, since Davi was having a hard time choosing which steps she should execute first, she decided to execute all of them at once. Besides, she thought that an all-out attack would surely have a stronger impact. In addition, part of it was because she thought that it had been so long since she last did a mission, thus, although she considered the possibility of failure, she did not chicken out and proceeded anyway.
"Step #07; Use his name"
She was aware of the importance of this step and as Hinari said, in the art of seduction, this step belonged to the psychological tricks. However, for some unknown reason, Davi realized she was strangely having a hard time using Sei"s name whenever she talked to him in person. Thus, she was glad to find out that it was actually easier for her to say his name over the phone. She thought she finally found a good way to practice saying his name.
"Step #13; Appreciate his efforts,"
Hinari advised her never to underestimate the power of saying thanks for every little thing. Davi had naturally been doing this step already to everyone around her, but strangely, she found it hard to express it towards Sei, making this step a bit challenging. However, it ended up being quite heartwarming for her. She was glad she finally said thanks, not just for letting her call him, but also for the many other things he did for her since the beginning. This step also convinced her that Hinari was right; there are things that really seemed easier to say through phone after all.
"Step #17; Let him know you"re thinking about him"
Although Hinari didn"t say much about this step, she did tell her it meant exactly as it reads. Therefore, Davi made sure that he would clearly get her message, that she had been thinking about him and that she was missing him, although she did not realize that she somehow overdid this step a little.
"Step #06; Keep interaction short and sweet"
Per her love guru"s advice, this step could be the application of the law of supply and demand. "You have to keep the supply scarce so that the demand will grow even higher." Thus, Davi did this step as if she was a light drizzle of rain appearing out of nowhere that watered the parched, dry land that was Sei.
Somehow, Davi executed the steps perfectly though the steps were carried out at such a fast pace.
Even though Davi was left wondering at his lack of response and whether he was listening or not, she somehow felt lighthearted, as if her gloomy world instantly brightened the moment she said it all.
Davi couldn"t explain why but she somehow felt that something good had happened and even though she received no reply, she still felt as though her all-out attack did work, giving her some sort of power to keep moving forward.
