Chapter 215: A Perfect Life
Jason’s expression shifted to one of absolute confusion before he finally allowed his gaze to shift over to Juliet. Jason’s expression told Juliet that he was demanding an explanation for this craziness! She was the only one who should be able to get his address since she was his manager, so there was no doubt that Jason was blaming her for Griselda being there! Juliet sighed.
"Sorry for all this, I met her at the SMD building, and she somehow knew I was your manager. She wouldn’t let me go unless I brought her along. It’s just a long story. Can I come in, please?"
For a split second, Jason actually thought about just sending them both away. But he eventually decided to hear them out and he turned to walk back inside while waving for them to follow him. Griselda followed after Jason first with a pompous air around her, but she stopped in her tracks when she saw Riyala walk out from the living room.
Riyala was still wearing her long coat, but her hood was down, so her exotic features, like her red eyes and the scales on her cheek and neck, were exposed for everyone to see! Juliet took a step back in shock and Griselda put a hand on her cheek in curiosity as they simply stared. Jason pointed to Riyala and introduced her without missing a beat.
"This is Riyala, a friend of mine. She doesn’t speak English since she’s from far away, so don’t feel bad if she doesn’t understand what you’re saying."
Jason then introduced the group to Riyala, and Riyala bowed respectfully to them in that proper way that only a member of royalty could perform. Griselda was immediately impressed by Riyala’s action and she made a happy sound while bowing to Riyala as well and greeting her respectfully, but Juliet still looked confused.
Juliet frowned and said,
"When you say ’far away,’ does that mean like another continent? Those scales on her cheek and her eyes... is that some sort of superhuman ability?"
Jason nodded and gave a simple ’yes,’ and it seemed to be enough of an explanation to make both of them feel more comfortable. Jason then ushered them towards the living room while talking.
"Sorry there’s no furniture to offer you guys, I just moved here."
