Chapter 62: Unwanted
"Are you not going to even look at me?" Demetri leaned forward and questioned with a coaxing smile. Sitting in the dimly lit room, this man was much different from the CEO Demon Frost. His brow furrowed at the silent treatment, and he shook his head as he complained," You. Are. A. Traitor. That is what you are."
His accusation was met with silence again and he once again leaned back in his chair," Ahh, silence is acceptance, eh? You finally accept that you have betrayed me?"
"Fine. Keep ignoring me. It’s not like I enjoy looking at you. I do have better views to see..."
As Demetri carried on a one-sided conversation with the person on the other side of the screen, the door to his study swung open, and in walked Nora as she spoke with relief, "Thank heavens, you are here. I’d gotten lost in this monstrous place..."
She trailed off when she noticed Demetri’s horrified expression and then the icy glare that he’d sent her way. "I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to..."
His jaw clenched and he hurriedly slammed the laptop shut, cutting off the video call abruptly.
Nora, taken aback by the sudden hostility in the room, stammered, "I-I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to intrude. I must have taken a wrong turn somewhere. I forgot the way to my room..."
Demetri’s voice was like a blade of ice as he replied, his anger simmering just beneath the surface. "You should have knocked. Or had you forgotten how to do that also?"
Nora’s cheeks flushed with embarrassment, and she struggled to find the right words," I...I heard your voice and was relieved..."
Demetri’s eyes bore into Nora, his impatience clear. "Just leave. I don’t have time for this. And next time, don’t wander off if you do not want to get lost!"
Nora felt a surge of anger at Demetri’s rudeness, but she managed to keep her voice steady as she retorted, "Fine, I’ll go. But you could have been a bit more civil about it."
