Chapter 221 - Intimidation Threat (1/2)
The boy was so intimidated that he was struggling to breathe. He panted heavily before slowly falling to his knees.
”Let's go, John.” Said Serena as she suddenly turned around and grabbed on to John's hand
John let himself be pulled and together the two walked back from the direction John had come from.
As they walked through the hall, the two looked at each other, before smiling at each other.
”Thanks, you really can be kind when you want to.” Said John
”What's that supposed to mean? I'm always kind. You just haven't realised it.” Serena replied rather happily
”Really? I'm pretty sure I would have, if you did.”
Hearing this, Serena let out a snort before she started laughing
”If only you did...” She muttered as she let out a sigh
”What's that supposed to mean...?”
”See, like I said, you don't notice. But let's leave that for later, I have a question.”
��Don't just side-track it like that... And Sure, what do you need to know?” John asked
”That thing you said about my beauty standing out... Was that true...?” She asked as she looked at him
”Hm... I don't know, was it?” John asked teasingly
Seeing this, Serena stared at him closely with a curious look
There were times where she thought she could understand him and others where she couldn't.
”I'm joking, I was being honest, you do look... b-beautiful today.”
[Ah, crap, I lost my cool]
”W-why are you only getting nervous now-”
After she said that, she tightened the grip around John's hand but in that instant
*Slam *
the sound of the doors at the end of the hallway behind them were slammed opened. Surprised, the two let go out of each other's hand.
They turned to see who it was and both had a displeased look on their faces when they realised it was Adam
”You'd really rather pick that boy over me?” He asked with a pissed off expression on his face.
Serena who heard this let out a sigh while John quietly watched.
”Of course.”
The boy expected something else, but that was it. Serena turned around and continued to walk to where they were heading to John. The boy didn't get an explanation of why she had made that choice and that only infuriated him more.
”Damn it... You'll regret this!!”
The two ignored his threat before opening the door to the room main hall which was the door in front of them.
Everyone was eating there, and the boy wouldn't be stupid enough to attempt anything. If he did, then John planned on stepping in.
”Don't ignore m-”
The two walked through the door before closing it, making it so that the sound of whatever he was going to say wouldn't reach them.
The sound of chatters and rich nobles laughing amongst each other, could be heard throughout the room.
