Chapter 989: Concealed Rendezvous (1/2)
Hearing Immeth Alstreim's anxious and saddened voice echoed, Nora Alstreim shook her head, ”It's not like that. You are my subordinate, but also like my sister. You also have the right to pursue anyone you fancy. You were not wrong...”
”Young Mistress...” A softened tone emerged from the other end.
”You were not wrong...” Nora Alstreim repeated as she didn't seem to be finished, ”...but the time and place you have chosen to take the opportunity to make a move offended Alchemist Dalila Leehan. You must reflect on your actions later.”
”Yes, I understand.”
”Good... Don't become discouraged.” Nora Alstreim consoled.
”You think I went too far?” Dalila Leehan interrupted with a frown.
She felt that these two were going overboard, making it seem like that she was in the wrong when it was clearly Immeth Alstreim who acted inappropriately!
”No... I...” Nora Alstreim didn't know what to say before she stopped supplying essence energy to the messaging talisman and sighed, ”Stand in her shoes, and perhaps you'll know how humiliating it might've been for her...”
”If she knows that it is humiliating, then why do such an act in the first place?” Dalila Leehan scoffed before she suddenly turned to look at Alchemist Davis.
”Don't you think so too?”
Davis stared at her for two whole seconds wondering why he was brought into this conversation, but since she helped explain about a few things, he simply stated his opinion, ”I don't approve such actions unless we got to know more about each other first.”
”That's right!” Dalila Leehan cast an approving look before she returned her gaze to Nora Alstreim, ”Your subordinate doesn't even know Alchemist Davis, yet she had the gall to seduce him in the Waiting Hall. Truth be told, I was completely pissed off since I thought I would submit the papers second at the least, but it was taken away by your subordinate for committing such an unseemly act in daylight with a stranger.”
”She ruined my mood, and I simply ruined hers, an eye for an eye!” Dalila Leehan harrumphed and no longer spoke. She looked like a spoiled kid who seemed to be intent on maintaining justice and fairness.
On the other hand, Nora Alstreim blushed with a hint of crimson. Their voices were raised, so it attracted the attention of some people, but it wasn't what that made her feel embarrassed. Hearing Dalila Leehan says that Immeth Alstreim didn't know about Alchemist Davis yet had the gall to seduce, she couldn't help but recall what she did back in the near past.
Didn't she also try to seduce Logan, whom she merely knew and only fought a battle once?
'No, I... I d-didn't do such a shameful thing... Yes, I tried to convince... Convince it is...'Her rapidly beating heart returned to normalcy in a few seconds.
At that time, she clearly experienced that vague kind of feeling in her heart that she kept hearing about, wanting to interact with that person whenever she had the chance, but she never thought that she would be that bold so as to confess like that at that time.
'I must've been out of my mind...'
”In any case, let's leave it at that...”
Nora Alstreim berated herself before spoke and supplied essence energy to the messaging talisman again.
”Are you fine, Immeth?”
”Yes, Young Mistress.” A reply quickly came.
”Alright, where are you now?”
”In my home...”
”I see, take care...” Nora Alstreim ended the conversation and kept the messaging talisman in her spatial ring.
However, Davis, who sat by their side, seemed to be practically spitting flames from his eyes!
