Chapter 270: Shopping for the Cruise
He hugged her back and hesitated before patting her back the same way that he had seen Ravi do to Ash. After a second, she stepped back with her normally cold expression if one ignored her ears that were flushed from embarrassment.
"It was like you were a whole different person. You were like...even more terrifying than you usually are. Then Ravi said that I should not look into your eyes. Right, why would you say?"
Ravi sighed and released the field that he had set up when Malik had fallen to the ground. "Because you would die."
"Dead?" Lana choked before looking at Malik with a fiery gaze. Ravi had seen her have that gaze when she was looking at his plants as if all she wanted to do was lie him down on a lab table so she could take her time to completely dissect him so she could find out why.
"Lana, pay at the counter," Malik said immediately causing Ravi’s lips to twitch against his will.
Lana rolled her eyes, "You can just ask me to leave so that you can have your private conversation. I am not unreasonable so I would leave."
She took the black card, looked at the two of them, and left without looking back.
Ravi’s mind was still boggling as he wondered where to start but Malik just stood up gracefully, "Aren’t we still shopping?"
Ravi raised an eyebrow, "Are we going to pretend that nothing happened just now?"
Malik chuckled and Ravi could not help but be amazed at how normal he was, how human. He thought of King Yama and he could not help but shiver.
"That scary?" Malik noted, "We have to meet you with Sage and Ash by 1:40 pm for lunch. I have to go to school for a lecture at 3 pm. I have a feeling that this would be a very long discussion so we cannot start it by 1:10 pm." Besides he needed time to make an independent conclusion before hearing the details from Ravi.
