Chapter 123: A woman’s attention (2)
"Why is he fighting with us?" Michael whispered to Christian.
"To impress a woman," Christian replied, looking to the side at Annalise who was probably the only person enjoying seeing Rafael fight against them.
Michael didn’t see that as the reason why since the only woman here was Rafael’s maid and the sky would have to fall before she could be the woman Rafael was trying to impress. This was the same woman Logan had warned everyone else not to court since she was his. "I don’t think that’s the reason he’s trying to kill us," he answered.
"You are still too young to understand the things a man does to get attention from a woman," said Christan.
"Aren’t we the same age?" Michael asked, certain that they were.
"Oh right. You’re so short that I forget you are not a child," Christian replied, still watching Annalise. Every time she cheered after Rafael won he was picking someone else from the men to fight against. If they did not get rid of her now, they might end up having to fight Rafael all day. "Michael, go suggest to her that Rafael might want water."
"It’s your plan so why the hell do I have to leave where I am to speak to that woman? What if I were to be caught by Rafael while I speak to her? You just said that he was doing all of this to get her attention. If that is true for even a second, the sight of another man around her would have him ready to fight me next. You cannot fool me," Michael said, proud of himself for seeing right through Christian.
"I supposed there had to come a point in time when you would have common sense-"
"Oh no. He’s looking this way or am I just looking his way and it seems like he’s looking at me?" Michael panicked.
