98 not under romance genre (1/2)

Seraphina sped off the very instant she entered her car. She kept on accelerating her speed which made the ride a bit incautious. Even though, this time, her intention was to not drive recklessly -- it still seemed she was.

Her destination wasn't going forward to the Yue family mansion nor to the Jin medical group -- instead, she stopped at the familiar woods where the forgotten property of Yue family lies. It was also her new headquarters for the moment.

As soon as she reached her destination, she could feel her eyes clouded and a little light headed. Although she couldn't feel the pain, she knew she had acquired a great amount of injury because she felt the tightening of her breathing.

[Inside the woods]

She let out a series of little coughs along with her slow strides towards the direction of the abandoned house. Using her hand to cover her mouth, a visible speck of blood was seen on her palm. Seeing the blood, she was even more determined to reach the house as soon as possible. However, Seraphina's complexion turns even paler by every minute passed.

'No good.' she thought inwardly.

Seeing the old property with ivy vines clung on it, Seraphina felt somewhat relieved.

”Just a few more steps…” she mumbled, alas, her body reached its limits. It collapsed to the ground as her vision darken a few steps away from the old house.

A few hours later, at Bloom flower shop owned by Tito:

”Man, it's getting late… Boss, isn't here yet.” Riggs spoke whilst glancing outside for the nth time.

Tito who regained half of his strength after he got treated by Riggs and also by the help of the antidote Seraphina fed him, he replied in a rather investigative tone, ”Hey, do you like her?”

”What?! You mean Luciano? No thanks! I'd rather stay single forever!” Riggs was astounded by the sudden question, thus, he denied with dismay instantly by the nonsensical question thrown at him, he continued.

”Not to mention, she's not under romance genre. The only romance she knows is her love for guns!”

”Then, why are you acting like a worried lover?” Tito probed further -- questioning his action towards Seraphina. In retrospect, Riggs would care less or rather would never really show whenever his concern about her when she was in Luciano's disguise. But why now?
