To Love and Avenge

Chapter 88

Without giving so much thought, I hurried down to meet this mysterious caller of mine.

Intrigued by his identity.

Standing by the door, I instantly look around for this specific person. And since he hadn’t given me any clue earlier, I could only use my instinct.

However, in that not a-little distant corner somebody has raised his hands, calling my attention.

I smiled at him and walk confidently, leaving my earlier speculations behind my head for later. I take my time walking towards him, showing no signs of eagerness.

Seeing me getting near him, he stood up and pulled the chair like the perfect gentleman he is.

Hmmm, what a show…

This man… Isn't he…?

As I reached my final step in front of him, I can only pretend to be firm to hide my surprise sight.

“Please.” He gestured his hand, offering the seat he was holding.

I deliberately raise my brows to him before I took the seat without any

words to intimidate him.

I sat comfortably, crossing my legs, I lean forward resting my elbow right at the top of the table. Slightly rested my chin at the back tip of my fingers and frowned, not casting my eyes away from him.

I need not speak, this body language will show him otherwise.

“You must be surprised?” He spoke again after seeing my expression.

Hearing him, I once again raised my brows to him while I pressed my lips tightly showing my impatience.

“Hmm?”

He can only sigh deeply the moment he realized that I am not in chit-chatting mode.

“Okay… you must be wondering why I called you out of nowhere to have a chat.” he paused.

“And I assumed that you already know me since you have been investigating Ale secretly for quite a long time.” He continued. With this, he already has my full attention.

Hence, I never let my guard down by not showing him that I was obviously very surprised at his words.

What is he up to? I thought confusedly.

Now that he knows, wouldn’t he be guarding Ale more? What was he doing showing himself to me?

“And? Doesn’t it bother you?” I asked nonchalantly.

“Not at all!” He responded shortly before he waved his hand at the waiter nearby.

“Let’s order first.” He said.

Perturbed by his intricacy, I shifted my current position and started to tap my fingers, showing that I am in my thinnest line of patience.

“We’ll talk over the food.” He said cooly as if he wasn’t distracted by the behavior I am showing off of him.

“Talk now!” I bossily ordered.

“Hmm, okay. You have to practice how to hold your patience.” He advised. But, I am not interested in this anymore. And so, I stood up to show him how annoyed I am now.

Of course, I was just putting on a show, so he won't think that I was so keen on knowing whatever he wanted to say.

“Hey, will you sit back and hear me out first?”

“I’ve given you time…”

“Okay!” raising both hands showing submission.

“Speak!”

“Can you sit first?”

Thus, I sat back quietly and…

“What is it now?”

“You might be wondering why Alforque’s head security– me, wanted to talk to you.”
