Chapter 218: Ungratefulness
"I need to go somewhere, so you two can stay here and talk about the details of the guild. I’ll be back soon. Juliet, make sure Griselda doesn’t do anything crazy while I’m gone. Riyala, wait for me here, okay?"
Jason asked that last part to Riyala in her own language, and Riyala immediately perked up and nodded with a smile! Riyala hadn’t understood a single word that they had been saying there all along, and she had just stood to the side and been watching in a lost daze. She wasn’t very comfortable being left alone with all these strangers, but she was sure that they were trustworthy since Jason had been smiling and laughing around them. She would just stay quiet and try to melt into the background until Jason comes back.
Griselda, on the other hand, let out a frustrated sound when JAosn told Juliet to watch over her! Did Jaosn think she was some sort of child that needed to be babysat!? Griselda huffed at Jason, and Jason just chuckled as he finally left the house. Once he was gone, Gresilda turned her focus over to Riyala as she crept closer and spoke in a conspiratorial voice.
"So, you’re from another country, are you? And you were staying in this house all alone with Jason all night and without his girlfriend here to watch over the two of you... How interesting..."
Griselda’s voice made Riyala shriek in shock and she scrambled to get away! Griselda raised a brow when she saw the intense reaction from Riyala and she wondered what made her so spooked! It wasn’t like Griselda was trying to eat her or anything!
Griselda brought out a phone and opened her translator app.
"Come on. I’ve got a translator here, so let’s have some girl talk..."
Griselda’s face spread into a sinister smile and Riyala let out a hiccup in fear as she began taking steps back! She really didn’t like being alone with strangers!
