Chapter 17: Father And Son
Assistant Ron could feel the chills as pure silence reigned inside the car. The two people at the back weren’t talking at all. ’What an awkward situation,’ he mused as he tried to focus his attention on the road.
Xander let out a silent sigh. He was deeply lost in his own thoughts. He did not know what had possessed him a while ago that he suddenly had the urge to kiss Yera. He knew he was acting rashly. Yera might have not slapped him, but she was definitely not pleased with his bold act.
’Geez, Xander... Since when did you lose control like that?’ He chastised himself.
Both of them stayed quiet during the ride. No one was willing to start a conversation. But after a while, Xander could not stand the silence anymore, so he tried to apologize once again, "Are you still mad? I’m really sorry about earlier."
Yera blew air on her forehead and simply countered, "Stop apologizing. It’s not okay, but we can no longer go back. It already happened. So, just make sure it won’t happen again because the moment it does, forget about slapping you, I’d probably end up breaking your neck..."
Xander’s face paled because Yera sounded so sincere with her threat. ’Why is she so brutal?’ Xander complained silently.
"No, it won’t happen again. Except, of course, when needs be. You know, situations will arise where we have to show off some affectionate acts in front of others. So let me apologize in advance for cases like that," Xander explained.
Yera turned her head to face him. She looked at him with her cold and piercing eyes as though they were directed right to his soul, which succeeded in making Xander gulp nervously.
Then she smirked and said, "Well, I warned you, okay? So don’t try me."
