Chapter 79 - Her Man (1/2)

”Jennet, wake up!”

A hand shook her body softly and the voice called out for her.

Jennet opened her sleepy eyes and saw Marvina's face. ”Marvina?”

Marvina smiled and said, ”Are you okay? Still having a hungover?”

Jennet tried to sit but then her head was super dizzy. She laid back on the bed. ”My head is spinning.”

”Well, that's what we get after every drinking party.” Replied the friend and patted on her shoulder again.

”Let's drink some tea,” Marvina suggested and poured a cup of freshly boiled tea. She handed the cup to her, ”I heard drinking tea can lessen hungover.”

Jennet forced herself so sit and lean her back against the bed head. She took the cup and placed it on the table beside her bed.

”How did we get back to our room?” She asked. ”I didn't remember walking back from the bar last night.”

”I don't know either,” Marvina replied and sat on the bed edge, sipping slowly on her tea. ”When I woke up, both of us are already in our own room.”

Jennet looked around and groaned softly while holding her head, ”Urgh, I had this fuzzy memory about someone helping us getting back to our room.”

”I absolutely have no recollection of how we manage to get back safely. Maybe we were too drunk last night and someone who is kind enough had sent us back.” Marvina sipped her tea again.

Jennet took the cup and stared at the reflection on the surface of the water. She had an uneasy feeling. However, she didn't voice out her uneasiness. Maybe it was just her being paranoid as usual.

”Getting drunk is risky...” She mumbled alone.

After she drank the tea, she took a shower and dressed properly. When both of them are ready, they headed down with their luggage, ready for check out.

At the lobby, Susan approached them. She smiled sweetly at the two women.

”Ladies, have you had breakfast?” She asked. ”Best fill your stomachs before we leave on the afternoon flight.”

”Sure,” both of them answered together.

Shortly after that, Mira appeared looking as pissed as before. Her beautiful face was so sour when she pulled on her luggage.

Walking behind her was another handsome man, Danny Standford. He walked leisurely and whistled at her.

”Mira my love, wait for me.” He said and raced after her across the huge lobby.

But, Mira ignored him. She boarded a taxi and immediately left the hotel. The man boarded another taxi and followed her from behind.

Jennet and Marvina poked their heads out and was astonished at what they had witnessed.

A live drama in public no less!

”Who is that man that followed Mira just now?” Jennet nudged Marvina over her stomach.

”I have no idea. I've never seen her going out with anyone before.” Marvina whispered back. ”All I know is, she had always dedicated her love to Luca Tybelg.”

Jennet glanced at her friend, ”Maybe they had a one night stand last night. You know, when people go out having a drinking party, there tend to be some who will always end up with someone.”

”Why are you telling me this? You sound so experienced in this kind of thing.” Marvina raised an eyebrow at her, getting suspicious.

”I said maybe and the rest were just based on what I read from love novels.” Jennet corrected her. ”It had to be the same case with this one.” She added, sounded so determined.

”That man is her man, ladies.” Susan suddenly interrupted their hot conversation.

Both Jennet and Marvina fell into utter silence. They felt like someone stupid after hearing Susan's words. All of those time and years they had worked under the same company, they had always thought Mira had never had another man by her side. They had always known that she's the woman who had always chased after Luca Tybelg, always remain pure for him.

Susan smiled while looking at their stupefied faces. ”It's time for breakfast. You ladies should focus on filling your empty stomachs. Leave Mira's affair alone.” She changed the topic.

Susan shoved the two stupefied woman into the ground floor restaurant, leaving them with no room to question further on what they saw earlier.

***

For the entire time spent in Country N, Hue had no time to appear before his wife. No matter how hard he tried to approach her, there would always be an accident happening to him.

During the city tour, he tried to approach and stop Luca Tybelg from flirting with her but, he had always been swarmed by women. He had no other choice but to flee the scene with Little Veen who appeared by his side as a little human boy.

Then, last night, he went mad with rage when he found another man took her away. However, he couldn't make his appearance because Little Veen detained him in their hotel room.

”Master, you cannot go out to rescue her. Your emotions are still not stable.” Little Veen said. He pushed Hue's against the wall, pinning him and stopping him from moving.

”I am stable. I can control my emotions!” Hue roared at the little boy. His eyes turned red as the colour of blood. He wiggled but the chain formed from Little Veen's power had strained him.

Little Veen exerts more force on his chest. ”No master! I cannot risk your safety. You cannot stain your hands with more blood. Little Viele and his master are still lurking around and I cannot risk all the privilege that you got so far. I don't want your effort to go into waste after tonight ended.”

”I need to save my wife. She needs me!” Hue said.

”Master, believe in your aides. They will save her. Those they handle are humans with innocent souls who had strayed.”

Hue was speechless and he could do nothing. If only he had not been exiled, he would have been there with her.

Little Veen looked up at his speechless look. The red eyes that stared down on the floor were burning in fire. But, nothing could be done no matter how mad or how red his eyes become.
