Chapter 62 - She Doesnt Have Me Charmed (2/2)
”The three deaths today would remind them to be on their best behavior and your appeasement would display your magnanimity,” Victor said.
”And how exactly do I carry out this eer ..... appeasement?”
”Return Macy to her former position and compensate the family members of the ones you killed,”
”Hell no!” Marcel cursed as soon as he heard his cousin's ridiculous suggestion.
Victor sighed.
”That is not happening!” Marcel stood his ground.
Each time he heard Macy's name, all he could see now was how she stood over Arianna's limp body with a smile. She stood by and watched the light almost leave Arianna's eyes, it was not something he was going to forgive soon.
”Listen to me, Marcel, I'm not a huge fan of Macy as much as you are not now, but everyone knows she's good at what she does and you having by her side would show you're still level-headed and not blinded by that witch,”
Marcel could tell that the witch they were talking about was Arianna. When did his gang members become so chatty? It seems he has become too kind.
”Moreover,” Victor went on, ”Macy is not returning anytime soon since she's having her nose repaired. I have to say Arianna has quite a fire in her,” He found it amusing at the end.
”Yeah, she does,” Marcel acknowledged, reminiscing the first time they met at the coffee shop. Thinking about it now, the girl has quite a potential that can be improved with training. Nope, no going there.
”Fine, Macy would stay but after a good break, however, that doesn't mean she'd have the same authority as before.”Marcel agreed.
”Fine. And Arianna?” he pried.
Marcel answered, shifting on his feet, ”I would return her to the Redgiant as agreed after I'm done getting the information I need about Elijah,”
”Really?” Victor's brows arched as if he didn't believe a word he said.
”I told you....” Marcel's tone was filled with seriousness, ”I've had enough pussies, I can't be trapped down by one,”
”In that case, that's good to hear, cousin,” Victor tapped him on the back proudly while Marcel broke into a wide grin, wallowing in the glory.
The tension around them finally relaxed and both cousins began to converse about other issues when Marcel asked, ”So how about Mimi? How's the lesson going?”
At the mention of Mimi, Victor's face distorted at once and Marcel caught all of it.
”By the look on your face, I can tell there's a story to it,” He grinned.
”Gosh, don't even go there. The girl's a cavewoman. She hit me!”
”Ouch,” Marcel said, yet leaned closer, ”What did you do? Kiss her? Hit on her?”
”She says I insulted her coffee,”
”You did not!” Marcel burst into laughter.
”I did not, maybe a little? But the point is, it was all part of the lesson,”
However, his cousin was busy laughing at him.
”I can't believe this. Arianna and Mimi must be from the same planet. No wonder they're best friends,”
”Yeah, wait - what?!” Victor was stunned, ”They're best friends?! You've been hiding this from me?!”
Marcel merely shrugged.
But his cousin narrowed his gaze at him suspiciously, ”You got her best friend a ridiculous job here, what are you planning, Marcel?”
Marcel smirked, ”A little gift for our guest, Arianna. I told you, she doesn't have me charmed,”
Victor shook his head, his cousin was a sly snake.
However, Marcel must have jinxed his luck before the next they heard was the breaking of a window and something dropped to the ground.
Marcel froze, Arianna.
