Chapter 67: A Deal For A Deal
Samantha had stopped for a moment to peer at the troubled Vampire Lord.
He was staring intently at the tiny reptile that remained habitually still on his bedpost, and all he needed to do was shoo it away with his presence. It wasn’t that difficult to drive away a miniscule reptile, but surprisingly, he seemed quite hesitant to approach the little thing. A man, not just an ordinary man but a vampire lord, who has set his foot in wars, battled a lot of creatures and wasn’t afraid of having a thousand blades pierce through his spine, was afraid of a harmless little reptile???
"Come to think of it, your room is actually pest free."
"Precisely!" He quipped at her inference, "Whiskers has been doing a good job assassinating my lowest formidable foes asides witches." Despite the waning sarcasm in his response, the discomfited look on his demeanor was yet to be erased.
"Remove it from my sight." She heard him say, and Samantha politely nodded at his order before quickly approaching his bedpost. Like the little reptile had sensed her presence untimely, it scurried off the moment she got too close to grabbing it, and when she tried again, it dropped to the ground and went underneath the bed.
"Oh?" Samantha, not willing to let it get away, also went on her knees and looked beneath the bed. "It’s not here." She murmured to herself in disappointment. If she doesn’t find that little reptile, she doubts Lord Ivan would let her get any appropriate sleep tonight.
"Where did it go?"
As the young maid tried to catch the elusive gecko that kept fleeting from her eyesight, she was unaware of Lord Ivan’s inner turmoil. While she was trying her best to find the little reptile to appease the Vampire Lord’s spirit, Ivan had reclined on a nearby chair, trying to regain his air of composure.
However, as Samantha bent over to peer beneath his bed, putting her in a rather inappropriate position, his eyes inadvertently trailed down to her figure. He felt a flush of discomfort, realizing where his gaze had lingered and quickly averted his eyes like he had looked at something that was detestably forbidden.
