Hearing all of this, Elizabeth was about to have an outburst of her own, but Aleksey had already had one. Of course, she wouldn't have yelled, but she figured it worked out well enough. Truthfully she wanted to just smack this man and his sexism, the fact that they had just automatically assumed she had slept with Aleksey enough to anger her.<br/><br/>“Miss Nixon, is this true?”<br/><br/>Elizabeth very nearly grunted at this question. But, for one, she wouldn't shy away. Her voice wasn't quiet and shy, timid as all it could be, it was in fact the very opposite, and it really just reminded her of her father, when he was speaking business talk, or to anyone who wasn't family or when he wasn't drunk. There was almost a stern tone to her voice, as if she were scolding Addison for even thinking such a thing. Aside from that she sounded serious, the tone of her voice making it clear that she wasn't happy with this without needing to yell, and almost demanding that she be listened to without raising her voice, as well.<br/><br/>"Yes, it is. I haven't slept with Aleksey. We shared a room, but that was it. I'd think you'd have more respect for me than that, to expect me to simply sleep with a man for such simple reasons." At these words her tone was scowling towards him, and really she was most likely enough to make him feel as if he were a child who had done something wrong, with how serious she was acting, and with the tone of her voice.<br/><br/>"And, I'll have you know, that I'd never simply sleep with any man for such a 'promise'." She scolded again, which would've been rather surprising seeing as how timid she usually was. "I'll have you know, that Aleksey wasn't the 'first' guy to show 'kindness'." She corrected him again. "He has never 'made' me do anything. I'll have you know that I act freely upon my own will. You should be ashamed of yourself for coming to such fast conclusions, not even considering to ask either of us first, let alone anyone else."
