Bella's shoe tips lightly tapping the ground now and then, sometimes her ankle wrapped in black stockings seemingly brushed against Duke's leg unintentionally.
Without looking up, she softly apologized and proceeded to the next question.
When discussing the authorization meeting, Duke did not provide a definitive date, only saying that it would be announced following the publication of the next issue of Arcane Mage Monthly.
After hearing this, Bella closed her notebook, put the recording stone into her bag, and smiled at Duke as she stood up: "If Mr. Duke isn't busy, I'd like to arrange for an in-depth interview with you later."
As she spoke, her fingers lightly touched Duke's hand as if unintentionally sliding over his hand back, quickly retracting, "Your hands are very steady."
She spoke softly, as if praising him, or perhaps speaking of something else.
Duke pretended not to understand, stood to escort her to the door.
