193 Sisters 2 (2/2)

”Let's have a proper talk, please!”

Seeing the other's serious expression, his mind promptly pondered if something important just happened. A second later, his gaze flickering at her turned weird, then amused. The latter was of course hidden through his brown eyes.

It seemed this non-host ally of him became alarmed because she saw him with Amelia. Was she curious what they had spoken about then?

Since Alessa knew his temperament, she led him into the mini forest of the neighborhood and had her two bodyguards to be on the lookout for unnecessary eyes. She placed her right hand on the trunk of a tree and then faced the man. The woman didn't know why, but she felt like if she didn't hold on to anything, her body would just collapse.

”Is it because your sister and I meet yesterday?” he directly asked.

The woman wearing a simple white shirt and jeans in front of him nodded honestly.

So this conversation would be short, he took the initiative to say, ”The woman is cautious and is only trying to piece out clues about me being a hacker.”

Alessa's burning gaze did not leave his face. ”She... didn't try to take you away?”

Another weird look appeared on Chris' face. ”What takes me away? Am I some sort of stuffed toy?”

”Poaching you...” her voice slightly trailed off as she lowered her eyes to her white sports shoes.

”... Of all people in the world, you're the one who knows her style in business the best. If she wanted to poach me from Starlight, she would first collect some blackmail materials or anything that could be used against me. I won't even be surprised if she just suddenly tried to kidnap my family. But currently, Amelia doesn't have anything in hand and wouldn't do anything since I am still just another actor in her eyes.”

Alessa's feverish eyes bore through him again. She shook her head and said, ”I know this. But my head is feeling dizzy, and I think it's because I'm feeling so afraid and insecure. My heart is aching too. I, I don't have anything that can guarantee that you'll remain by my side... She is an expert in taking away what I have, even my people...”

Chris scowled. The state of the woman was quite odd. He was about to reason to her about her that the shady guy who poisoned him being under her command was enough ground for him to see her as his lifetime enemy. But the actress before him suddenly lowered her head and fell down.

”Hey, what's wrong with you?” he asked while holding her up with one hand as to not let her completely collapsed on the moist ground.

'... Her temperature is quite high.'

The unnatural warmness transmitting to his palm despite the layer of clothing in between their skin made him flinch a bit. 'A fever? So this is why she's not acting like herself?'

Then Alessa spoke up again, her voice sounding so sultry with it being accompanied by her audible breathing.

”... I just want you to know... that I am not really about to fall.”

The man held both her shoulders since her knees seemed to be failing her. Alessa was so close to him when she gave him a tearful smile. It was very beautiful, but due to her reddening face and few beads of sweat on her forehead, she appeared so weak yet... alluring?

In the next moment, all crazy thoughts that he was having flew over the reddish horizon when she laughingly said, ”I'm telling you, my knees are not really failing me. I was planning to kneel down.”

The man became dumbfounded at first. Then he took a deep breath and seriously commanded. ”Stop speaking. You have a high fever so you're being delirious. I'll call over Miss Aura so she can check on you.”

The woman was made to lean her body against the tree while he walked off to find her assistants and inform them of her condition. He hadn't truly vanished from the woods when Alessa melancholy and softly whispered to the air. Chris froze and almost became rooted on the distance when his ears picked up the few words uttered with unspeakable sadness and self-mockery,

”... didn't hear me... I... to kneel... planning to beg him... not... leave me...”

Three meters away from him, the same distance he had with Alessa, there was a white palm-sized white flower with a petal that seemingly cried when the solitary dewdrop on top of it fell off and disappeared on the damp soil... The sight was just sorrowful, one would just wonder why sadness exists in this world.
