Chapter 67: I can’t.
Nicklaus placed his eyes on Raquel. What was she doing here?
"That was my wife," he informed with admiration in his voice. That irked Raquel’s ears.
Raquel’s heart dropped with his word and tone. She turned her face to where Arissa just walked out from.
"I can handle her," Raquel boosted.
Nicklaus chuckled like Raquel just made the most stupid joke he had ever heard. He sat on his seat and faced the stage, "Why did we cross paths again?" Nicklaus asked and now, his voice was impatient.
Raquel sat on the seat Arissa once occupied and Nicklaus could not help but glare at her, volcano erupting from his eyes. Shrugging her shoulders, she managed to appear unaffected by his glare, "I thought I’d never see you again,"
Nicklaus frowned more but did not still turn to her. He just let it known to her that he did not appreciate her presence.
Without answering her, Nicklaus stood up to leave. Her presence annoyed him so, he better leave so he would not maybe, do or say something that would make her cry. She - Raquel was good at that. And he works with time, since she wasn’t important to him, he do not want to spend his seconds on her.
Seeing Nicklaus standing up from his seat, Raquel stood up also. She immediately gripped his arm when she saw he was about to move out of the seat.
