Chapter 95 I am edible, wanna have a taste? (1/2)

On their way to the said venue where the audition would be held, Lexi tried to get in character while Ethan kept his silence as he drives.

”He's not edible… uhh, no, no, that doesn't sound right.” Lexi shook her head in disappointment as she repeated the same dialogue over and over again. Breathing in and out, she repeated in a drawled;

”He's… not edible,” Face palming, Lexi was frustrated as she sounded coquettish this time. She grumbled,

”How can this be funny? It's not comedic at all!”

”It's funny because it's not… woah, the irony.” Raising his brows without turning his head on the complaining woman perched on the front passenger seat, Ethan spoke for the first time. After hearing the same dialogue over and over again, for some reason, he found silly for someone to say ”he's not edible” in the midst of war.

Looking unenthusiastically at his smiling side profile, Lexi frowned with his unhelpful comment. ”You try -- 'he's not edible.”

Ethan cast her a quick glance before smirking into a mischievous one, ”I am edible… wanna have a taste?”

”Thumbs up chu…” Though she was exhausted as she already was, Churu still chimed in when she heard Ethan's lowkey letting out his flirtatious side while erecting her little thumb.

”Ah no, you're not edible.” Sounding disappointed with a little seriousness in it, Lexi murmured as if gravely dissatisfied at one point. However, when her statement slipped from her mouth, Lexi's brows slightly raised as she finally got the right tone she wanted.

”You're not edible.” Repeating the dialogue again, Lexi stared at him to see his response. ”Ehan, you're not…”

”Stop it godamnit!” Vexed by her last address, Ethan grinded his teeth in annoyance. That's like insulting his perfect muscular body right in front with how she delivered it. Moreover, he's a very charming guy that… or that's what he believed until he met her.

”Don't attack me if you're frustrated alright?” He let out a heavy sigh, as he forced a smile on his face and kept his heart at bay. His ego and confidence was already crushed by her unaffected countenance by his teasing before. Hence, this dialogue was automatically being translated as 'you're not my type.' which embitter him.

”Hehe, thanks.” Lexi muffedly giggled when Ethan snapped. That was the reaction she needed for the scene as the character she needed to portray would need to be sounded to be a little disappointed and honest at the same time.

Letting go of the fact that she needed to be funny, but, what would make it comical is the reaction of the person she was referring to, which is the main villain of the said movie.

Ethan shook his head as he realized that he was her test subject that was a real pain. After all, he was taking it to the heart. As he grumpily drove, his phone rang all of a sudden. Since his duffle bag was in the back seat where he's phone was kept, Lexi volunteered to get it for him.

”I'll get it.” She then unbuckled herself and reclined her seat to reach for his phone.

”It's in the side pocket.” Glancing through the rear mirror, Ethan instructed which she followed. Unconsciously, his right hand let go of the steering wheel as he placed it in front of the passenger seat; palm length away from Lexi's back because of the road bump ahead.

”Got it -- aw!” Just when Lexi found his ringing phone, a sudden turbulence occured that abruptly caused her to jolt from the back to the front. Fortunately, Ethan's hand was already there thus, he stopped her from the sudden impact.

Unbeknownst to her, the moment his hand came in contact with her back, Ethan felt a brief electrifying shocked that made him retract his hand from her. Though he deliberately slowed down knowing the road bump ahead, Ethan unintentionally stepped at pedal because of the shocked he received. For some reason, he almost thought that he was being used of the sight of Lexi but just a slight touch, he was slapped by reality that he wasn't!

”Thank… you,” Lexi heaved a sigh of relief but when she turned her gaze back on the driver's seat, her brows knitted as Ethan was akin to a person who saw a ghost. She added while repositioning herself,
