Chapter 89: A Peek Into The Past (1)
Reaching the empty balcony at the top corridor, Cassian stole in a deep breath as the air at the top of the balcony felt satisfyingly refreshing, and that was what he needed to cool off the anger that had him boiling earlier. He already knew not everyone would entertain the idea of his relationship with Maddie, but he expected them to be sensible enough to mind their business and respect his decision.
To put the record straight, he was really disappointed to see no one other than Catherine act this way, and now that he’s become very much aware of how she truly feels regarding his marriage, he’ll have to keep Madeline away from her sight.
"Do you need a drink?" All at once, someone stretched a glass of red wine from behind, handing it to the young lad who stared at the unending sight before him. Hearing this, Cassian didn’t bother to turn around to see who it was as he received the drink from the stranger, but he didn’t drink from it as his mind and gaze were on something else in particular.
"Anyone who walks in here can fill the rage in your system, take the drink while it’s still cold enough." The voice suggested, and Cassian’s eyes subconsciously shifted to look at the unfamiliar red-haired man who had uninvitedly joined him on the balcony.
For a split-second, his gaze shifted to the color of the wine, and its extreme redness reminded him of something more satisfying than the wine itself. Finding it strange someone would hand him such, his Amber-brown eyes clashed with a green one.
"Do I know you?" Cas’s question made the young man go deep into his thoughts as he leaned his back against the edge of the balcony, and he shook his head with a deceptive smile gracing his lips. He let out a deep sigh before looking up at the thousand stars that filled the night sky.
"You don’t need to know me in person, like they say; strangers are always the best people to talk to, we don’t judge." Came his extrospective response that left Cassian eyeing him from head to toe, silently wondering where he came from, and the young man beside him offered a smile before turning his body to look at Cassian.
"Forgive me in advance but I heard half of the conversation you had with that obsessed woman." He shrugged in a nonchalant manner. "It appeared interesting and I couldn’t walk away, but you better be careful, she doesn’t seem to take it lightly that she got replaced by...... another woman."
"She won’t do anything, she knows I won’t spare her." Catherine was good at ranting and giving threats, but if there was one thing he was sure of, the lady didn’t have the guts to implement any of her unnecessary threats. But based on the looks he got from the stranger, he felt the red-haired man knew exactly what he was saying.
