Fake Antagonist
Chapter 25 ~ Speechless

Edric just nodded, his hands raised as if he wanted to grab an iced orange. But what he achieved was the nape of the girl and without a word kissed the friendly lips of Alice inside.

Alice was stunned, her hand squeezing a plastic glass of orange ice to spill splattered on the floor. He wanted to get angry and push this man but his heart felt something else.

The brain and heart are now at war, logic wants to win from feeling and vice versa feeling also wants to win from logic.

Thinking too long in tension, Alice now felt tight. His breath felt stifled, his logic now dominating. He pushed Edric's body and looked at him angrily, annoyed but undeniable there was also a strange feeling that he could not explain.

As for the man, without the slightest feeling of guilt, he instead casually said, "I just accepted your offer to taste iced oranges." While showing a grin that makes Alice more inflamed but embarrassed at once.

In this awkward state came Aldric who was staring strangely at the two. "What are you doing here?" he was upset when he saw Edric in the room.

The embarrassed Alice grabbed her bag and came out without explaining anything. Aldric turned his eyes to Edric, but only the smile of ridicule the man displayed. "What did you do to him?"

"What do you know?" edric said indifferently, he then got up and left Aldric who was still confused himself while staring at a speck of orange ice on the floor.

On the other side Alice was washing her face in the toilet, she looked at her little face that was met with red. Then held his chest that was pounding loudly. "Don't tell me this is your first kiss, Alice?" he muttered while laughing.

As Ayla is certainly not the first time for her, a famous actress must have done such a scene in the film. He never wanted to take on a role that was more than a kiss.

"Do you not like Aldric anymore? Why's it melting with Edric now?" he murmured alone again, no one will answer.

She then smiled indistinctly, that cold face looked extremely beautiful when smiling sincerely like this. Moreover, the two sapphire blue eyeballs, look more radiant than usual.

While coming out of the toilet, he is shocked by Lucy and Kiara who are deliberately hiding. The two waited in the cafeteria while Alice finished talking to Darier, but the girl did not show her nose until they had finished eating.

"Where have you been? We waited a long time for you but you didn't see us" Lucy said with a sullen face.

Alice just laughed crisply, her brain seemed to be dead-end looking for the right reason. Perhaps the effects were kissed suddenly by the stiff old man.

"I-i. Ah, nevermind. Let's just go home," he asked to switch the conversation and pulled Lucy and and Kiara's arms to his right and left.

The three of them went hand in hand, the three beautiful girls who were always together was indeed a beautiful sight charming the eyes.

In the corridor they were talking to Edric, Kiara and Lucy lowered their heads as a sign of courtesy. While Alice who stole the view was even rewarded with a death wink.

He immediately turned his head in the other direction with a face that was getting closer. What a sweet interaction without others noticing.

They continued to walk, as if nothing had happened until the two were separated from each other in opposite directions. But even though separated by a long distance, a thin smile is still faithfully engraved on both corners of the lips.

In the afternoon.

Alice sneaked out from the back door of the mansion. Not without reason he acted as a thief in his own home, he was just lazy to hear Lucy's nagging more suitable to be his mommy.

After escaping, he then got into one of the cars among five cars lined up neatly in the trunk. Then open the phone and go to a green chat application.

...I await your arrival! I'll send you the location....

After that he drove the car at a moderate speed, passing a long road with the beauty of flowers on the right and left until he reached the gate that opened automatically after Alice pressed a remote.

About half an hour the car in bright red stopped in front of his beloved boutique. But he did not stop by first, he just parked the car there and then continued on foot.

As usual, he carries a crackle while walking lightly with a hum.

"Hay" he said as the cats greeted.

After a while, came Darier with a bent face. However, all his frustration when he was hard-earned to find this remote place was gone when he saw a bunch of very cute cats.

Without a word he hugged one of them and greeted them, completely ignoring Alice who was already standing by folding her hands in front of her chest.

"Hey, I asked you here to explain something to me. Not playing with them."

"So stupid."

"Ck, Kitty, Catty, Cally, let's get here! Don't be friends with people who don't ignore me!" alice said as she walked to the other side.

While Darier just smiled mockingly, "Where can cats hear your orders."

But unexpectedly all the cats flocked to go to Alice's side, even the one in her arms also jumped out to claw her.

"ouch! Shit," he said that was rewarded with a joke that belonged to Alice Lawrence.

"How can they all hear your orders?" he asked while looking at all the cats that were now struggling by the girl's side.

"I have my own way." Alice was indifferent.

"Hmm, okay. What do you want to hear from me?" Darier sat down by Alice's side, wanting to get back to one of the cats but the cat just ran away making the man resentful.

"Tell me anything you remember from the novel Shackles of Love!"

"Hey, the novel was too long for me to tell from beginning to end" Darier said in a high tone. Alice alone was made to flinch for a moment in shock.

"Ck, I'm not asking you to tell me that one novel. You just need to tell me the outline."

"Well, don't tell me from yesterday."

Alice snorted, it seemed like she had to have extra patience if she wanted to make this man a partner. But the longer, somehow this man is more like someone who has ever been present in his life.

"So gini, the novel's story starts from an incident where you were in your childhood. By then your engagement was set. At first you were betrothed to Nelson's first son, but since the second son was the main heir, you were transferred to the second son's fiancee ..."

'It seems that I was wrong to ask her to tell him everything she knew, ' Alice's inner being held back from sleepiness because of what the man had told her he had known.

"Related by Darier Simpson. You can't get the story straight to the point. Don't repeat it from the beginning, because I already know the story."

"Okay, so the point is that you'll be harassed by someone and end up killing yourself ..."

"Stop!" Alice's shriek made Darier speechless, the man staring at Alice with condensed eyes.

"Oh, my gosh." Alice pulled and exhaled her coarse breath.

'Prophe Ayla, be patient.'

"I don't mean the core which means the ending of the story. I just want to hear your story about important events that I should avoid in order not to face that sad ending."

"I know." Darier excited again, the previously sad face suddenly beamed.

"What?" ask Alice expectantly.

"We eat first, I can't think we're hungry."

Duarrr.

Alice who was originally the spirit of a speechless moment.

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...
