Semua Bab Revenge of the Night: Bab 81 - Bab 90

"Do you know why I brought you here, Nono?" Queenie approached the center of the plants.Nox shook his head."Because this is my secret garden." Queenie caressed the plants. She planted and cared for them herself. "Not even my parents know of this place. Every time I feel upset or bullied, I always come here alone. You're the first one to enter my secret garden."Nox looked around the room.Suddenly, Queenie pointed at the Carola. "Do you know what this flower's name is?"Nox shook his head, feigning ignorance."Carola, the wishing rose. They're grown in Findella, and the type of rose I love the most. And it carries a great meaning behind it. You can tell your most beautiful wish to it. I heard Findellan royalty loves them, too. Pity they're rare and expensive…"Queenie carefully caressed the rose's petals. "Nono, kneel with me," Queenie blurted."You want me to kneel?" No one ever asked Nox to kneel. Besides his parents and mentors, of course."Yeah. Come on. Get on your knee

A truck trudged down the road and came to a stop before the Sanders Residence. A whole stash of Carola roses was tucked in the container. A group of workers leaped off the truck.George and Yvette came out. They saw the truck and the whole stash of beautiful roses, but they wondered what was up."What are you guys doing?" George asked one of the truckers.The trucker answered, "Hey, we have a flower delivery here.""A flower delivery?""Yeah. We bought the whole city's supply of Carola roses this morning for Miss Queenie Sanders. Is she in?"'What? These are for Queenie?' Yvette and George were stupefied. They couldn't believe these people bought the whole city's supply of Carola just for Queenie."You bought the whole city's roses for my daughter? Who sent you?" Yvette asked in shock.One of the truckers answered, "The Empire Corp. Wait, you don't know?"The answer petrified George and Yvette for a moment, and then they started to buzz with excitement. "The Empire Corp again!

Queenie's parents approached her quickly. "Queenie, you're back."Queenie pointed at the sea of flowers in surprise. "What's with these roses?"With a smile, George said, "Alexander bought these for you.""The same Alexander from Empire Corp?" Queenie was speechless.Yvette chimed in, "Yeah. He's really nice, don't you think?"Queenie did not look happy at all. Instead, she was flabbergasted. She thought, 'Empire Corp bought a sea of roses for me? Why? Are they mad?'Curious, she asked, "But why did Alexander get me so many roses?"George answered with a question, "You still can't see why?""You mean you can?" Queenie asked back."Yes. Because he likes you."Shocked, Queenie spewed and sputtered. "That has to be some sort of joke. I don't even know what the guy looks like, and you're telling me he likes me?"George was grinning. "Just because you haven't seen him doesn't mean he hasn't seen you before. Besides, you know full well why a man would buy roses for a lady."Queen

Queenie locked herself in the study and searched up everything she could about Empire Corp and Alexander. A while later, she saw the information about that company and its owner.She stared at Alexander's photo and huffed angrily. "Holy smokes, this guy is old enough to be my dad. I can't believe he wants to date me. And he also has a daughter about my age. The perv!""No way," she said. "No way I'm letting this perv woo me. I need to meet up with him and clear things up." Queenie closed up her notebook and tried her best to calm down."And I can't believe Nox isn't at least mad or jealous. Another guy is trying to woo me. Unbelievable." Queenie was getting angrier and angrier. She whipped up her panda plushie and started punching it like it was Nox.…For the whole day, Queenie ignored Nox. She was really mad.Nox felt aggrieved. He gave her a whole city's supply of Carola, but Queenie thought it was a gift from Alexander.The next morning, George came to Queenie. Queenie thoug

Nox saw Queenie off, rubbing his chin. "She's going to the ball too, which means I'll have to be extra careful so she won't find out who I am."He went back into his room. Quite a while later, Alexander called. His men would arrive at the Sanders Residence soon. Nox got changed and left for the ball.A Rolls-Royce and two black Maybachs were parked outside the house. The first thing Nox saw was Alexander standing by the car subserviently.Alexander quickly ran up to Nox. "Milord, I am here to pick you up."Nox grunted. Alexander opened the door for him, and Nox went inside the car. Alexander followed him closely. The motorcade turned around and made its way to the ball.George came out of the house and saw the motorcade leaving. His eyes went wide. 'Hey, that's the Empire Corp motorcade,' he thought. He stared into the window and saw someone familiar inside."Nox? Why is he with the Empire Corp? What's going on?" He was stupefied. "No way. I'm seeing things. There's no way Empire
