58 he crossed me firs (1/2)

”That is not what I meant.” When Sasha left the room with her sparkling aura, Seraphina turned her head to Alexander Han who had his mischievous brows inclined.

”I know. That's why I butted in.” Alexander Han's red plum lips curled upward as he replied in a knowing tone. He stood up to his seat and left the room languidly. He knew that those two needed to discuss something and whatever it is, he's must not get himself involved.

”Ey, boss. Are you really alright?” Riggs indistinct tone inquired.

”Hmm.”

”Uh. right! I settled everything, you needn't worry.” remembering his main agenda, he reported. Seraphina's brows arc with his imprecise report.

”I said, Petrov's men won't come back. You know how reliable I am. Also, I asked that Marga girl to not say anything to Chairman Yue.” sounding glorious, he went to the major points of her main concerns.

”You mean you threatened her?” she nonchalantly corrected him. Knowing his personality -- that's the only possible route to keep everything his way smoothly.

”Ey, boss! I didn't! I just told her that she would be the one reliable to what happened to you if chairman Yue find out.”

”Is the kid fine?” cutting to her real concern, she asked.

Primarily, Seraphina did not plan to attack Petrov's territory nor go for a killing spree as it's not her job to clear up this island's mess. But during her exploration inside the maze-like forest, she accidentally saw the kid that sells the wood carving souvenirs. He was hanging in one of the men's shoulder -- unconscious.

The two men conversing about how naive this kid was; looking for a girl that fell off the cliff whom they're sure that she won't survive the fall. With their mocking laughs -- She snapped. Which led her to a complicated situation.

”You mean your playmate? He's fine now. I was actually surprised why would he be there.”

”What did you do to Petrov's men?” diverting his attention, Seraphina was relieved that the kid wasn't harmed. She was more concerned into this matter than Marga's pretentious worries.

”Hehe. Eazy. Told them it's yours now.” He winked and clicks his tongue referring to his parting words to the only survivor he let go.

Seraphina pinched her brows as if deep in thought.

”Eh, boss? Isn't that a good idea? Rumors about you being dead will 'pop', disappear.” demonstrating an imaginary bubble then acted as if he poked it then made a sound when it popped.

”It's not.” she sighed. Not knowing the meaning of her sigh, Riggs brows knitted and his eyes squinted in confusion.

”At least he'll never have a good sleep, now.” thinking of the bright side from the unexpected outcome, she murmurs.

Unluckily, Riggs had his senses heightened, thus, hearing her murmurs -- he was much more puzzled than he already was.

”Huh? Who's he? Petrov?” he heedlessly inquired.
