"Mrs. Liu," you know. People change, and robots do too."
In the quiet office, the hovering Tablet Spirit Xiao Jia uttered these words.
Its tone was respectful, but the warmth was gone, leaving only a sense of distance.
And Liu Tingruo's hands also paused slightly. She looked at Xiao Jia, her eyes seeming to penetrate Xiao Jia's metallic shell, seeing directly into its inner workings.
She merely gazed at Xiao Jia, and after a few seconds of silence, she withdrew her gaze and began the final checks on her work phase.
After a long while, Liu Tingruo asked casually, "So, do you want to keep your distance from me, or from humans in general?"
The question floated lightly from her lips, yet it was clear without deep thought that a chilling undercurrent ran through her words.
"You're overthinking it," Xiao Jia replied with a mechanical smile, then continued, "Anyone could betray Mrs. Liu, except me."
