Chapter 49: I Will Protect You
"I will convey your idea. And see how my father replies. Can I take this to show him?" he asked hurriedly, then realizing he had shown too much enthusiasm, he stopped, "i meant i need to show him the details to get a decision. I will not steal your idea of course." he suddenly felt embarrassed. The more he spoke he felt like he was making it wrong but Nora laughed instead.
Victor blinked and looked at her. She was indeed a femme fatale. Even her laughter made his heart skip a beat.
"Why are you being so serious? We are friends, of course I trust you that you will not steal my idea." They were friends? The words made Victor flush but he still nodded. He wanted to leave instantly but now that she had called him friend, he decided to finish the lunch with her at least no matter how tiring it would be.
"You know I have always been a fan of the Quresta game. I wanted to know the idea behind it haha." but Victor realized that it was not tiring at all. He had thought girls at her age had no interest in video games. But not only Nora knew about all the video games in the market. She was keen to learn and had good ideas to share too.
Victor did not realize how time had passed. And it had been months since he had such a good time with anyone.
"You know Nora, you should visit my house sometimes. I will show you the best video games and teach you how to play them." She looked at him just like a child waiting for the candy. The sparkle in her eyes was addicting.
"I hope we can do that." She stood up when he did but she did not leave hurriedly. When he left, she turned to see that Alex was sitting on the table behind her. He was sitting alone. His long legs stretched and his cold eyes looking at her.
"You are not acting to be asleep anymore?" she asked with a smile lacking humor. All the lunch she had felt his cold eyes making a hole on her back. She had thought it would be penny but who would have thought that the grand Alex has time to stalk others too.
"We need to talk." he stood up and held her hands. Though the bell had rung, there was still a large group of students and teachers from various classes who noticed how he held her hands and dragged her out.
"We need to stop this." she spat as soon as he stopped in the garden. Alex raised a brow, his lips curled into an icy smile.
"Why? You did not mind when I dragged you out for the last time. Could it be that you have changed targets after failing last night?" His voice was filled with poison making her frown.
