Smoking, in Oliver Bloom's dictionary, is synonymous with misbehavior.
And when did Elise Don start smoking?
She herself wasn't quite sure. It seemed to start with the first time she smoked at Night Charm; it felt good. Later, she developed a liking for those menthol cigarettes with capsules, occasionally smoking while working late. But she could smoke a pack for a long time and didn't carry them with her, so even she didn't consider herself a smoker.
Caught red-handed by Oliver Bloom tonight, Elise Don felt guilty.
She stammered, "It was during the time we broke up, I was really unhappy, so I smoked a few times..."
Elise Don quickly acted meek, mainly because Oliver Bloom's gaze was terrifying.
"I won't smoke anymore, is that okay?"
To deepen this sense of helplessness, Elise Don rocked back and forth on Oliver Bloom's lap.
Unfortunately, it didn't sway Oliver Bloom.
He asked again, "Aside from smoking, what other excessive things did you do during our breakup?"
