Chapter 169: Invitation for a Global Summit
Another morning came, and Katelina kept yawning while Asura helped her undress for a bath.
"Did you not sleep well last night?" Asura asked.
"I didn’t," Katelina confessed. Her encounter with King Ezekiel had swirled through her thoughts all night, his aggressive and intimate movements replaying in her mind.
"What’s that? Wait... That’s a hickey!" Asura exclaimed as she inspected Katelina’s neck. Katelina’s face reddened, and she quickly covered the mark with her hand, but it was too late; Asura’s piercing gaze had already caught it.
With a teasing grin, Asura asked, "You two already advanced like that after just meeting yesterday?"
Katelina couldn’t refute her friend’s teasing. She had spent her day only with King Ezekiel. "I think the two of us were in a romantic relationship while I spied on him under Devon’s command," she muttered.
"That’s possible. Who wouldn’t fall for King Ezekiel? He’s so handsome. He’s intimidating, but that only adds to his sex appeal!" Asura burst out. "Did you tell him and confirm you’re Tarah? Honestly, it seems like he’s into Tarah, especially since he killed Devon and extended extra help to our kingdom. I think what Cora told you is true."
That was what Katelina thought too. She felt a deep connection and pull towards him. If they were not on good terms, she should at least feel fear and disgust, right? Because that was how she always felt whenever she heard Devon’s name. But with Ezekiel, it was different. It was as if she yearned for him.
"Look at your blushing face. Care to share what you’re thinking?" Asura teased more.
