( Strange)
Once the man left the building, he went straight toward the black Lamborghini waiting for him on the other side of the road.
He entered the car and removed his mask.
“She’s safe, Alex. She’s not with a man. She’s with her friend and you don’t have to worry, she’s with an interesting hooligan girl. I believe she’s a capable female bodyguard.” He mused and the man in the passenger seat glanced at him.
“And you let the hooligan girl beat you?”
“Well, it was a good experience for me and her, haha. She just beat a prince and gave him a check for 500$. Haha. That was indeed unexpected!” he didn’t stop laughing until he looked at the silent moody creature next to him.
“…”
“Sigh…. Okay, let’s go. I don’t understand why you let the little lamb go. It’s not like you at all.”
“Silence!”
“Sigh…”
Kelly returned to her apartment looking revitalized.
She poured Luna some of the juice she bought and plonked herself down on the couch right next to her.
“Kelly, what should I do to gain more experience?” Luna asks Kelly to almost choke on her drink.
“Uhm…. experience in what?”
“Experience in…see…. in everything. About the thing, I don’t have any clue about it. Like the things that lovers do or any normal things that a girl my age does?”
Kelly cleared her throat. “Luna, what has brought this on? Tell me. What did that man do to you? What exactly happened.”
Luna hesitantly answered. “We danced and it was wonderful. I felt like we were floating on air. It was an experience I will never forget for the rest of my life.”
“And then?”
“And then, he took me to his open-air garden with an amazing view of the city. It was breathtaking.”
“And then?”
“And then, when he found out that I was a virgin, he said he wasn’t the one for me.”
Kelly was speechless. What kind of man turns away a beautiful woman just because she was a virgin? Didn’t he see what kind of treasure he had in front of him? Most men would have taken advantage…. She inwardly gasped as her eyes widened as a revelation came to her.
Maybe…. just maybe, he did see the treasure in front of him and that was why he rejected her?
Oh man…. did she just get angry and beat a man because of this misunderstanding?! That Mr. Qin may not be a bastard after all! It sounded like when he found out that Luna was pure and innocent, he sent her away because he didn’t want to taint her!
Facepalming herself, Kelly faced her friend, her face now serious.
“So? Are you not going to see him again?” she asked, curious.
Luna fell silent for a while. “I don’t want to give up on him, yet. I think he’s the one, Kelly,” she said. ‘The one I can live without him falling for me….’ she thought.
“Okay, I got it. So what are you planning to do now?” Kelly asked.
Before Luna could answer her, a call interrupted them. It was a video call from Kelly’s cousin.
“What?” Kelly said impatiently while the girl on the phone was almost yelling, trying to be heard over the loud, roaring music in the background. Luna saw that the girl was in a dark, chaotic place with lights flashing across the room.
“Kelly! Where are you? Why aren’t you here yet?”
“Didn’t you read my message? I told you I’m not coming at night.”
“Huh? …. you are missing out on all the fun here tonight!
“Yeah, yeah. I can come another night. Bye-bye.”
When the call ended, Kelly sighed and looked at Luna to continue their conversation.
However, Luna became curious.
“Where is she?”
“In a bar.”
“That’s the place that you said wasn’t for someone like me?”
”Oh, well, yes.”
“Kelly, I’d like to go there.”
“Cough, cough. Why?”
“I just want to go there. I feel like I’m too ignorant about a lot of things. I want to see what the world is like and to go outside my comfort zone.”
“… but Luna, it’s not a nice place for you.”
“Please….” Luna looked at her with big, pleading eyes and Kelly gave up. She could not say no to that face.
“Sigh. Okay, fine.”
…
On their bed….
Luna suddenly remembered what Kelly said before she left with Mr. Black’s leather jacket.
“Kelly…. You said that the man who fetched me is a prince.”
“Oh yes. You know about the country G, right?”
“That secluded kingdom in the south…”
“Mm. When I was eighteen, my father brought me there with him. It is a nice, rich country. I heard it only has less than a million people living there. My father said that the royal family of country G is one of the richest monarchs in the world but they remain very lowkey.
The monarch has full control over country G. The country prospers under them and the citizens of country G love them but we don’t hear much about them at all. Country G is a very private Country, most especially for its royal family. The media don’t come near them because of that.
Their king and queen are the ones and only ones who show their face to the public. No one has seen the princes’ faces unless you work in their palace, which is why the world only knows their princes’ names. But when I was in country G, I saw that man and heard one of his companions call him prince Richard. I couldn’t confirm it but he resembled the king and he had such an aura.
I could never forget such a good-looking face… Anyway, I believed that that man was none other than Prince Richard. But then, how the hell did a prince become someone’s chauffeur?!”
“Could it be that you’re wrong, Kelly? Maybe he’s just his ?”
“Ugh! That is not possible. I trust my memory.”
“What if the person who called him prince was just bluffing?”
“…. Argh! I don’t know. But… but…. ah, never mind. Anyway, what’s Mr. Qin’s name again? I’m curious about such an ultra-rich being.
“Alexander.”
“Alexander, huh? Alexander Qin. Hmm…why can’t I recall my big fish with that name? I know all the big fishes in the country but his name doesn’t ring a bell…this is strange ….”
