Chapter 171: Vicious
"Right on time? I didn’t really expect you to show up. Here I thought you didn’t care about meeting the child." Saira commented as she watched Adam walk in. Her eyes scanned the man with his lips pierced and dressed in casual clothes and felt herself stiffen. For what it was worth, he seemed to have become a lot more handsome. Her hance clenched. Soon, he was going to be in her hands.
Adam shot her a look, but did not answer her. She watched as he moved silently into the plane and ignored her words, instead moving to a seat furthest away from hers..
She frowned. He didn’t care to engage with her, did he? She’d like to see how long he would do that.
She let out a small chuckle, and her eyes glinted with smug satisfaction as she observed his stony demeanor. "Oh, really? So chatty. Don’t worry, I’m not expecting you to say much anyway. You never really do, do you?" Her gaze lingered on him, as if daring him to react, but Adam continued to remain a wall of indifference.
She knew he was trying to avoid giving in to her, trying to assert his power and keep control. But she was no fool. She knew exactly what buttons to press. She enjoyed the control she held over him, even if it was only in this small, fleeting moment. The power of being able to summon him whenever she wasnted was heady.
Finally, Adam broke the stillness with a simple question "Where are we going?"
Saira glanced at him and her eyes narrowed in amusement, then shifted her gaze to the phone he was holding loosely in his hand. A smile crept onto her lips, an almost predatory satisfaction. She knew what he was doing so she let him and answered casually,"Maniwa."
Adam paused at the name of the placd but his expression betrayed nothing, though something flickered in his gaze as he turned away. He said nothing for a moment longer and then his fingers tapped across the screen of his phone quickly.
