His words made me stop in my place.
Who does he think he is...
assessing me like that.

Part of me felt a raging indignance boiling up from his accusation,
but another part-- the smallest bit of my mind--
believed he was right.

However,

I disposed of those thoughts immediately.
There was no way I would admit to it so easily.
It was only a mere guess on his part.
A stranger like him doesn't understand me...
How could he?

Still, despite my doubts,

I decided to respond to his words.

"You seem like a smart person,

so let's assume you're correct."

I said.

"If it is like you say...

then what type of person do you think I am?"

Even if I didn't agree,

I at least wanted to hear his opinion.
