38 great deal (1/2)

”Shh… behave. I won't kill you… yet”

Hearing her voice, he froze. Although it was dark and he could barely see, the man knew that the woman behind him was much skilled than him. If she could manage to get close to him without him noticing, she could have killed him on the spot yet she did not.

He gulped feeling the sharp knife on his neck, due to the unexpected turn of events, his head was in haywire thus he spoke before thinking, ”who are you and what do you want?”

”huh, the audacity.” Though the voice sound relaxed, he felt suffocated at the intimidating aura of the woman behind him.

Feeling the body lean closer to him, the woman whispered to his ears.

”...great deal eh?” she said.

Though he felt aggravated to her so-called 'great deal' —with his life on the line, he nodded.

Just as the agreement was done, the man felt a sudden slight pricked of a needle then the sharp knife scraping him afterward. The man was immediately snapped back from whatever he was thinking —her moves were so swift taking advantage of the situation. He felt the stinging pain fades away as his whole body goes numb —realizing he was paralyzed a millisecond late. Is he dying? Questions float to his head as blood starts to drip from his neck.

”my bad. My hand was a bit excited. don't worry, it won't kill you. Just a temporary bad drug.” after saying her piece, Seraphina pickedthe syringe and its container then turned to look at the door for a while—as if remembering something she spoke once again,

”and please clean before you go.” referring to the drops of blood on the floor —then she completely left.

The man sat frozen in his spot. Feeling numb and as if his body wasn't his —fortunately, she didn't kill him.

Leisurely walking towards the luxurious sports car, she saw Alex leaning to his car with a cigarette in his hand. With a few meters away from him, he spoke in a cold tone,

”explain.”

”ahh… I forgot something.” stopped in her tracks, Seraphina answered.

”where is it? The thing you forgot.”

”I forgot what I forgot.” replying him back with a careless remark.

”If you make up a lie, at least make it convincing.” Alex was almost rendered speechless to Seraphina's shamelessness. Hadn't she realized that she used him just minutes ago yet she was acting as if she does not owe him an explanation?

Alex went inside his car and sped off leaving her mercilessly.

”what a great temper. I should have paid for his repair.” she commented seeing the back of the grand Lamborghini Huracan speeding off.

Fortunately, it will only take her 10 minutes of walk to the Villas guard house and wail a taxi to the Yue Mansion.

Whether Alex abandoned her or not, she would still prefer to walk and will not bother the guy but due to some unforeseen circumstances, he left which is a good thing for her —saves her some time to shrugged him off.

Looking at Nadine's Villa not too far from her, there was a subtle smirk on her face.
