Chapter Thirty-one : Do Not Corrupt The Young Mind (2/2)
”Which is exactly the opposite of what I like” She finalized with disdain as my face fell.
”I know, you love havoc ” I sighed slumping on my sofa exasperated.
”Yeah, there's beauty in that ” She grinned sheepishly but when I cleared my eyes to make sure I saw clearly, it was replaced with a scowl .
Apparently, the emotion she guarded so much had betrayed her and she could only regain her composure after sighting the shock on my face.
Her change in attitude wasn't exactly surprising to me since the closest thing to a smile I've ever seen on her face is a mischevious smirk or a scheming smile that normally spooks me.
”You still haven't answered my question ” I reminded her as she leisurely munched on her chips.
”It wasn't hard to figure out especially if you were as smart as me ” She replied and I frowned, her insolent exaltation were starting to irk me.
”Well Mr Nik came home looking like shit , so I put two and two together and knew the only person capable of putting him in such mood was you . So I investigated further but the detail's sketchy, so enlighten me, what happened in the interrogation room? ” She questioned boldly lounging on my couch and crossing her leg over the other.
I stared wondering what soul possess this girl? Was it really a high IQ or a transmigrated soul hiding in there? I let my imagination run high until a childish pitch brought me back.
”Earth to Maya ” she said snapping her fingers at my face ”You still haven't answered my question? ”
I snapped out of my thoughts and gazed at the girl before remembering her question. I felt a new wave of anger as I recollected the scene until it got to the mushy part and my cheeks became a hot shade of red.
” Though I studied psychology but your face already betrayed everything and please I'm still an innocent ten year old. Do not corrupt the young mind ” She declared as a matter of fact.
I almost spat blood.
I scoffed audibly, when it comes to causing trouble she becomes an adult but when it comes to the mushy romantic part, she becomes a.. what did she call it?... an innocent mind.
I gave her an accusing stare but she looked away chewing her chips innocently. I sighed, fine, I'll pardon the innocent mind.
”So the help you wanted to get was to gossip about your father? ” I inquired but she nodded her head negatively , muttering
” You're so narrow-minded ”
”Then what? ”
”I want to sleepover ”
My mouth hanged open, did I hear clearly?
But when I tried to probe further, my doorbell rang and I groaned, who's it this time?
I dragged my lazy butt to the door and opened it right away.I still had to interrogate Isabelle now she's being pleasant to talk to before it's too late.
But I froze right away upon sighting those before me.
Is today by chance, World's Visiting Day?
”Emily? Annabelle? ”
”Hi Maya!”
They both said in unison as if it was staged.
”What are you both doing here? ” I asked overwhelmed by their presence.
Emily smiled bashfully before raising two handful of packaged Jumbo-sized popcorn saying, more like asking ,
”Sleepover? ”
Oh God.
