Chapter 32 - Twenty-Nine
ERWIN
I excuse myself from Leo and John to use the restroom. Let’s not mention that asshole, pain in my married ass. I don’t know what that bastard wants from John. But I have a feeling that whatever it is, it is not something good. The way Ruth looks at him is just like a predator looking at his prey. Or, just like me a few months ago eyeing the girls. That look doesn’t bring anything good.
I turn around the corner and spot the restroom. After so many years of studying here, I know this place as good as Leo’s body. I step outside the restroom after doing what I needed to do. There is someone waiting for me outside.
"H-Hey Erwin!" Lia somehow manages to give me a nervous smile.
"Why are you here?" I inquiry, my brows pinched, "Where is Tanya?"
"S-She is at the party..." Lia is trying her best to not look me in the eyes.
"Then why are you here?" I have a feeling that something is about to go to the south. "Do you need to use the restroom?"
Okay now, that sounds stupid. Surely if she needed to use the restroom then she wouldn’t come to the men’s. She is here to see me. But why?
"I-I just needed to tell you something." She stutters, cold sweat forming in her hairlines.
"That you like me?" I say it for her since she is having difficulty forming proper words.
"H-How do you know..." She asks, her voice just above a whisper.
