Chapter 330 - Infected (1/2)

”Beauty, who is that woman?” Hinari asked and upon looking at her, Zaki somehow could clearly see the obvious hostility in Hinari's eyes as she looked at the woman.

”You don't need to be wary of her, she's just a secretary.” Zaki said but, nonetheless, Hinari's eyes remained focused on the woman. The look in her eyes as she stared at her didn't change.

”Just a secretary? I thought all your brother the great's secretaries were all men” she argued, causing Zaki to crease his brows as he questioned her.

”What made you think that?”

”Well, all the secretaries that visited the mansion were all men. I haven't seen a woman secretary come along before and I never thought that the ice king would be talking to another woman other than my Davi.”

”H-huh? Does Sei looks like he's talking to her? She's simply reporting. Can't you hear his one word answers?”

”But, but…”

”Hinari, you're supposed to be thinking about the next plan. Your proposal has been rejected, so stop thinking about useless things. That guy there won't fall to another woman even if the earth was going explode, you understand?”

”O-okay.”

Hinari was forced to shut up the moment Zaki reminded her that her plan was actually rejected. Thus, Hinari shook her head and was about to start thinking of her other plan when she saw the woman walk closer towards Sei. She walked around the desk and stood beside him as she put a doc.u.ment before him. She pointed at something on the doc.u.ment and Hinari's eyes narrowed to the max as her nose puffed out air in displeasure.

The next moment, she wrapped her arm around Zaki's shoulder and pulled him towards her.

”Tell me, beautiful. Does she have other connection to Sei other than being her secretary?” Hinari asked. Her voice this time was strangely serious like she was asking some information that could involved life and death.

Seeing how determined and serious she looked, Zaki knew that this stubborn woman would never stop unless she was satisfied so he could only answer her.

”She's our foster parent's acquaintance. We've known her since we were teenagers.” Upon those words left Zaki's mouth, Hinari's grip on him tightened. Zaki was once again confused by her reaction as she obviously looked even more displeased after hearing what he just said.

”Wha---” Before Zaki could ask, Hinari suddenly pulled him again, close enough that his cheek was brushing against her head.

”Listen to me beauty. That… that woman is dangerous,” she said. Her voice was akin to an agent giving a serious warning about an upcoming disaster, causing Zaki to heave a sigh as he looked at her.

”Do you think any woman other than Davi could seduce that man right there?” He asked pointing his finger to man on the desk.

Hinari was silenced for a while as she looked at the ice king, sitting stoically, looking unbothered by the close proximity of the woman. He was still like a statue void of human emotion when he was away from his wife and son.

Somehow, his indifference even in this situation and the fact that he waited for Davi without even so much as a look towards other women for five years were already solid proof that what Zaki was saying made sense.

However, Hinari just didn't like a single thing about this woman. Even the feeling she felt from her was strong enough to plant unease in her heart and she couldn't help but worry.
