Ten minutes later...
After sacrificing a part of her layered dress sleeves to some splashes of fruit liquor in a staged collision, Brienne finally managed to have Eithan accompany her to a break room. Of course, not without receiving a frosty glare from the other. She honestly admired the guts of the man as he was the very first actor to do so. She must admit, the experience was refreshing. But does he have the rights? She wondered, an amused smile never leaving her crimson petal-like lips.
"I was not informed that even the elder sister of our Queen of Primetime is an excellent actress..."
Coldness seeped out of the man's eyes and for a split-second, Brienne Middleton felt as though she saw a tall behemoth staring down at her. Her lashes batted down a few couples of times. The pressure emitted from the handsome actor's body didn't seem forced or faked.
The personal attendant by her side seemed offended but the woman herself unconsciously smiled, the mole
Many people had been left conflicted in that night. Two of them happened to be the famous Middleton half-sisters, Irene and Brienne. The latter, a couple of minutes after the extremely known actor excused himself from the breakroom, received an anonymous phone call which was actually from a lady bridging Brienne with the mercenary group from the C-Empire. That time, all her personal assistants and guards had been asked to go out of the room so nobody knew what went on inside. Everyone could only make countless speculations in their brains, guessing just what kind of bad news did the First Miss received as to become very cranky when they left the place. As for Irene, while escorted by Aura and Sarmiento, she almost didn't manage to restrain herself from throwing a warning to Brienne through one of her assistants. She got badly shaken by the realization that her so capable sister had started to suspect who Eithan really was. Driven by the fear that a person dear to her would be stolen a
"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 Irene 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. Irene 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 ma
He was about to walk outside to fetch himself a glass of cold water when his eyes flickered to the woman who should be sleeping in the bed. He saw that her eyes were wide awake.She was actually not asleep?Eithan' eyebrows almost met in the middle. 'Don't tell me all this time, she's watching me?'"Sleep," he barked.The woman who fell sick due to excessively cooling her head last night under the cold water shivered. Despite this though, she defiantly met his rigid eyes and even flipped to the sides to face him. "I'm not a kid. So don't order me around. Also, my body only needs rest and I'm getting it aplenty as I lie down here."Eithan went out to get a pitcher of water and some glasses. When he got back, the woman teasingly told him it was a good thing that he was acting comfortably in her home."If I may say, rest your eyes too, Miss Middleton. You don't have to be so guarded. Aura is just outside, and she's checking on you every ten minutes."He didn't know if it was the effect o
Irene could not believe her eyes and she watched as the man's lips curled into a dangerous yet sexy grin."... Good thing that you are sick. Just in case, my expectation is not met, we can easily turn this stupid test into a mere nightmare. I won't lose anything, and nothing would change between us..."'What?'A word that failed to escape out of her.Her eyes widened as Eithan glanced down to his left wrist and raised the sharp object a third of a meter away from it. If his other hand descends to that undefended wrist in a very fast manner...She inwardly shook her head, laughing at the ridiculous thought.Why would he even do that? What did he say again? No, she was merely thinking of a very silly possibility, right?Yet, at the next second that came, that silly possibility did happen.Darkness consumed her whole system and the shriek she let out was so ear-piercing and horrifying. Before she knew it, her body had gotten out of the comforter and rushed towards him."NOOOOOOOO!"But b
When Eithan got out of the woman's home, 98, his shady AI spoke to him with a very repentant voice.Eithan merely laughed.'Oh? You know how to say sorry? Great news instead.'He shook his head and smiled. 'I'm fine, thanks. It's me who is being stupid earlier.'The childish resident of his brain went silent for some time before probingly asking,He shook his head one more time, remembering what recently took place at Irene Middleton's house.A test...Eithan was simply moved by the woman's affection for him, therefore, he tried to give her a chance, to show her what kind of being he currently was, and what he could do.It was a decision done out of whim, or some expectation that maybe it would be okay to be close to somebody for once, if she would accept what she would see. The affection was not there yet. But he believed it was something that could be worked out with as long as there were a will and intention. He laughed. Maybe a part of him was just so lonely and wounded that it wi
Misty, the weird brainy goddess of HCA and also a known beauty of her current school Edogawa High, had thought of this first instead of wondering if the shadow that appeared before her was a ghost or not. She worried more if there would be news of crime here reported tomorrow, if that shadow was that of a thief, or a kidnapper, or a rapist.If her conjecture was correct... oh no!Due to her odd sense of righteousness and cautiousness acting up, she seriously started to weigh out whether to check out what she saw or not.After her eyes wandered the place with great vigilance, she made up her mind and picked up an old-fashioned long umbrella from the rack near the trash bin. She mentally vowed to return it on a later time. For now, what mattered was to be prepared in case she would need weapons to ambush and knockout a criminal wannabe. This umbrella just happened to be the best weapon nearby since it was quite sturdy, not to mention, has a good reach.'Let's do this, fighting!'Unfortu
"Thankfully my roommates are not around. I'm really hella thankful that they're back to their hometowns. Or else, I don't know how I'll bullshit my way into making them believe that we should let this troublesome man stay here. Argh, I don't even want to imagine it. I'm sure my brain will come up with something ridiculous, if not laughable!"Misty wiped away the sweats on her forehead using her left arm, the other held the scissors she used to cut the pieces of clothing wrapped up around the man's midsection.She actually didn't remove the bullet.Why would she do that kind of moronic thing anyway? People should not always believe what the TV was sometimes showing to everyone, no matter how cool or reasonable it looked like. When it comes to a bullet being pulled out by any whoever...Just remember that it was simply dangerous for random individuals with no whatsoever corresponding medical license and experience to do that!Misty was simply one of
It was evening, past 7 pm.After that dumbfounded voice leaked out of him, he subconsciously stared blankly at the back of the woman throwing the used bandages into the trash can. His mistakes lied in not immediately closing his eyes when she turned around."Oooh! Nice! You're now awake!"At Misty's raised voice and happy grin adorning her small and flawless face, Host 314 suddenly felt goose bumps crawling all over his exposed skin.For some inexplicable, or perhaps, supernatural reason, he couldn't stop having speculations that something bad would happen to him......Of course, nothing bad really happened. The injured guy was merely having stupid speculations but actually, Misty was not really harmful. The girl might be quite headstrong, and with a very firm heart, but in the end, she was still just a regular non-host, and a weak, fragile, beautiful woman.Despite Misty appearing like a psycho due to the scary words she's been saying, in reality, she was just actually bored and at
