Vanessa’s P. O. V.
“Your saliva is about to drip, and I think you’re so amazed looking at me,” I tease.
He closed his mouth and smiled tentatively. “I’m sorry. It’s only now that I’ve seen you so beautiful. I’m not saying you were ugly before. I’m just saying you’ll be even more beautiful when you dress beautifully.”
I rolled my eyes. “I don’t have much time to fix myself, so I’m glad my outfit is simple.”
He smiled. “Yes, and it’s fine. Simple but beautiful.”
I simply didn’t notice the compliments he paid me. He’s probably just teasing me. Knowing this man, he enjoys flirting. And I’m not going to give in to what he says. I ate a lot of expensive food that I had ordered. Because of the amount of food I ate, I feel like my stomach is going to burst. I noticed him smiling as he looked at me.
“What?” I asked.
“Nothing. I just admire you because you can eat so many different foods. It’s almost as if you’re not a woman when you eat.”
“That’s what it’s like when you’re hungry.”
He laughed. “By the way, are you the only person in your life now? Why are you alone? I mean… where are your other relatives? Where are your parents?”
“Have I told you anything about my life? About me?”
He shook his head. “I don’t remember anything, and maybe you don’t.”
“They were killed without mercy,” I began with a sigh.
He looked me in the eyes. “Who killed them? Was the person who killed them imprisoned?”
I smiled. “The werewolves killed my parents. They said they were all dead. I don’t know why they were killed. They were good to the werewolves. They even took care of a boy who was a werewolf. They considered him as their own child because my parents would never have children again, and they wanted to have another son, so they took care of that boy.”
“After my parents were accused of telling the people where the werewolves lived, the people rushed in and killed the werewolves;. However, the werewolves mistook my parents and killed them before the people killed the werewolves. ”
While bowing, he pretends to smile. “I’m really sorry to hear that.”
“It’s okay, but I still can’t accept how my parents died. I wish I could be closer to those werewolves, but I’m not sure if they’re still alive. I want to get revenge on them.”
“Ahm… do you want to eat something else? You can order again if you’re still hungry,” he said as he smiled at me.
My head shook. I’m stuffed from eating so much. I took a look around. Obviously, only the wealthy dine here. I just think what they’re wearing is ridiculously expensive. Their clothes are stunning. I hope to be able to buy expensive clothes one day. I’m hoping to be able to eat at expensive restaurants with my own money as well.
“Why? Are you looking for something?” he asked abruptly, and I looked at him.
“Huh? Nothing. I just looked at something,” I explained, my face worried.
“Are you all right?” he asked, concerned tone.
I nodded slowly. “By the way, tomorrow is my day off. Can I take you out for a drink? If it’s only okay with you. But if not, it’s fine. You can drive me home. I know you’re exhausted at work.”
“No, it’s fine with me. Have you finished eating? Let’s go get some alcohol.”
I smiled briefly before nodding. I let him go first and followed him. After all, I drink any type of alcohol, so he’s the one I let buy it. Another thing is that I can’t recall the last time I drank alcohol. I noticed that I was overworked.
We were walking to the parking lot when he stopped. I also came to a halt and looked at him. I noticed he was staring at a man pushing the car while another man sat inside. The man instructs the man behind him to push harder in order to get the car moving.
“Wait for me. I’ll just assist them.”
“All right then.”
Zeux dashed toward them. And I was surprised when he started pushing the car. Is he too strong? The car immediately left the spot after he pushed it. It appears that one to two people are required to push the car in that manner. However, Zeux was the only one who pushed it.
Zeux was thanked by both men. They first wave to him before leaving. Zeux smiled as he approached me. This man is also considerate. I assumed he had a bad attitude.
“Let’s go,” he said, opening his car door.
We arrived at the apartment right away. Fortunately, my apartment is always spotless, so I don’t hesitate to welcome visitors. I dressed before I finally faced him. I’ve made the glass, and it’ll be snacks for both of us.
“Is it all right with you that you’re alone here? Do you have any friends who come here on their days off? Or do you just wander around when you’re not working? ” He then took a shot of alcohol.
“I’m not sad. I’m content to be alone. And then I grew accustomed to being alone. It’s not that I don’t want friends. It’s just that I’m content with a small number of them. I don’t have any friends who would come here with me. I also do not leave when I am not working. I have nothing else to do with my day off but sleep. So that I can recover for work the next day.”
He shook his head. “Ah okay. You’re doing the right thing.”
We were still conversing. I discovered that his parents are no longer alive. He is also alone in life because he is unsure whether he still has relatives. Jason, his best friend, is the only person he has in his house. He regards him as his brother.
“You know what, you’re right. It is perfectly fine to be alone in life. It is more peaceful, and there’s no trouble.”
I agreed by nodding. I clung to my senses. I only had five shots of alcohol, but I’m dizzy right now. I guess my alcohol tolerance isn’t all that great. I take a look at Zuex. Because of the alcohol, his face has turned bright red.
“Because you have a bad attitude, you have few friends. You deserve it, my arrogant boss,” I laughed.
He laughed and shook his head as well. “You’re so rude to me, huh? I’m actually a little bit kind, just a little bit.”
We both burst out laughing. “Wait a minute, I’ll just get some junkfood.”
When I stood up, I became very dizzy. Zeux, fortunately, caught me. I took a seat on his lap. He had dark eyes when he looked at me. I, too, looked at him.
“Oh, why are you looking at me? I believe you are captivated by my lovely face.” I said then bit my lower lip.
He nodded and smiled. “Yes, Vanessa, you are too beautiful in my eyes.”
I smiled as I squeezed his nose. He kept staring at me. And what he did next surprised me. He abruptly drew me closer to him. He locked his gaze on mine for a few seconds before pressing a kiss.
