Chapter 247: He was like a prince
"Alice, be nice." Miss Stella said but Alice didn’t have a favorable impression of Philip for her to act nicely towards him.
"I’ll be nice," She said and folded her arms. "...only if he starts being nice to Gramps."
"And what does that have to do with you?!" Philip yelled at her. "He’s ’my’ grandfather, so however I choose to act towards him is my business, not yours." As soon as he said that, Alice glared hatefully, causing him, as well as the others who were next to her to feel heavy and uncomfortable, and she said,
"You’re lucky I only stick to calling you an entitled brat." She said, her tone heavy and nerve-wrackingly scary. "I have so many words in my head that I can use to describe your insufferable self but I choose not to." She took a step towards him, and though she was shorter than him, she managed to make him feel so small and intimidated. "Go on. Just keep acting like a jerk that needs to be tossed in the gutter and I’ll be sure to..."
*Smack*
"Ouch!"
Leo stopped her from speaking any further with that threatening tone by hitting her on the head and he politely smiled at them.
"Please, ignore her. She’s high on sleep and will say anything that comes to her mind."
Thanks to Leo’s intervention, the atmosphere that seemed to become so heavy with just Alice’s gaze and her words broke, and Miss Stella took over from there.
"I think we’ve said our hellos," she said, pushing Philip out of there, but he did not refrain from glaring at her, and to which she stuck her tongue out at him.
"I guess we’ll be seeing each other often, Alice." Micheal said and walked away. Alice watched him, staring at his new look.
