The Throne Of The Heart
Section 43
Lashira exhaled violently, not even Greyson's embrace managed to put her to sleep tonight. “Sleep, Lashira.” Greyson's heavy voice somehow instantly made Lashira shudder with goosebumps.
“I can't sleep even though I want to,” Lashira said as she looked up to see Greyson's face.
Greyson kissed both of Lashira's eyes gently. “Sleep, I'll stay with you-”
“You want to go?” sela Lashira fast.
“I have to make a transaction tonight and unfortunately this cannot be replaced by Norbert, Severin, or David. Then go to sleep now while I'm not leaving.” Greyson hugged Lashira again and patted Lashira's butt while occasionally wiping the girl's head to quickly fall asleep.
Lashira scowled. “I'll go with you, Grey. I won't interrupt and be a submissive kid there.”
“No dear, I cannot allow your existence to be known by my enemies. Later I will not be calm if you are alone out there.”
“I'll stay in the car as long as you do your job and I'm not that weak, Grey.” Lashira aligned her face with Greyson's and her index finger was already playing on the man's jaw.
Greyson breathed a long sigh then nodded after Lashira peeked at the back of her hand and rubbed her palm on the girl's cheek like a kitten.
Lashira smiled happily as Greyson again granted his wish. But his forehead frowned deeply when he saw the wall clock in this room. “Grey, aren't you ready?” Instead of answering, Greyson even further tightened his embrace.
For whatever sake Greyson actually did not want to bring or involve Lashira in his night activities, he did not want to until the existence of Lashira who is the most important person in his life to be kissed by his enemies.
He didn't want his enemies to harass Lashira. So as much as possible he did not want Lashira until she met the people involved in her underground world even more.
“Grey, are you daydreaming?” lashira asked as Greyson did not heed her request to immediately let go of the man's embrace.
Greyson framed Lashira's face with both hands. “You really want to come? Promise to listen to all my words later there?” Lashira just nodded slowly, the girl was silent as Greyson played both of her cheeks in an anxiety.
“Grey, if I come to work with you how?” lashira asked suddenly.
The movement of Greyson's hands playing both of Lashira's cheeks came to a halt, the man was currently staring at Lashira as if he wanted to swallow the girl round and round. “I don't allow you to work, Mrs Masson.”
“Masson's name, Your ***!”
Greyson stared at Lashira dislikefully. “You-”
“You haven't really proposed to me, Grey!” cut Lashira as fast as lightning.
“I proposed to you that time. And why do you like cutting my words now?” Lashira's guts immediately shrieked to hear him, unconsciously he was poking his lips uneasily for fear of being scolded by Greyson.
His eyes immediately fell and his nervous fingers began to play Greyson's pajama buttons. “You proposed to me in-”
Both of Lashira's eyeballs almost fell out of place due to Greyson's sudden kiss. But it is undeniable that Lashira also felt happy with the man's kiss, even she began to return the man's kiss with embarrassment.
Greyson took off his lips and fused his forehead with his girl's forehead. He smiled obliquely at Lashira who was panting for their kiss. “Change the habit of poking your lips if you do not want to be like this anymore,” whispered Greyson with his raspy voice and Lashira just nodded obediently.
Because you said that .. I'm not getting to change this habit, Grey. Inner Lashira.
“Replace your clothes with thicker ones and do not forget to prepare my coat.” Again Lashira could only nod obediently, she was already almost similar to the yellow toy that was on the dashboard of Severin's car.
After changing clothes and choosing the coat Greyson would wear, Lashira waited for the man in the kitchen while enjoying a cup of chocolate-flavored ice cream.
Lashira rolled her eyes irritated. Ever since knowing which side the man was standing on, Lashira instantly lost respect for the man. “You can't see it?”
“You're still upset with me?” Severin smiled obliquely before downing her beer.
“Of course, Sir. I felt so betrayed by you this afternoon.” Severin laughed out loud enough to hear it, Lashira snorted as if she saw it. He checked the clock on his cell phone because Greyson didn't come down.
“If Greyson had accepted Chris' offer to continue with all of his powers, maybe you wouldn't have felt betrayed so.”
Lashira scrunched her forehead confused. “Means?”
“Not that Greyson has started to continue the power of Chris?” Severin again laughed loudly after hearing Lashira's question. It turned out that his conjecture all along on the girl was not entirely true.
“You don't know? He always turned down the offer from two years ago, maybe?” the word Severin doesn't sound convincing.
“You're trying to play me?”
Severin chuckled softly. “What's in it for me? By the way where is Greyson?”
The question only made Lashira squinted her eyes suspiciously but did not say anything afterwards because she herself was curious why Greyson was so long ago. He was almost half an hour in the kitchen waiting for the man.
Greyson was followed by David behind him. Lashira approached the two and she complied when Greyson wore a jacket that was quite thick even though he had worn a sweater as his top.
Severin raised next to his eyebrows. “Lashira will come? If Norbert finds out, he'll go berserk because his recent efforts would be in vain if you took him tonight.”
“I know, so you stay in the car with him later.”
“Why should I if there is David?”
Greyson glanced at David for a moment before saying, “he should know how to trade correctly.”
***
Early in the morning Nobert was awakened by a call from Greyson's right hand, Norbert. The sun had not even appeared yet and he was told to wait in the garden near his house. After nearly fifteen minutes of waiting, a black luxury car stopped right in front of him.
He lowered his head as the car window descended down revealing Greyson who seemed unable to get down because of Lashira who was asleep while hugging the man. “Sev,” call him on Severin who's in the steering chair.
Severin takes a box in David's lap and passes it to Greyson in the back.
“Shh ...” Greyson rubbed Lashira's head gently as the girl moved agitatedly, seemingly annoyed by her movement trying to pick up the box Severin thrust back.
“That includes the best item I have at the moment.”
Greyson gave the box to Nobert, but before actually removing the box Greyson said, “ini to your uncle and tell the old woman not to act as she pleased with Lashira again, the old woman should be ashamed. If you do not heed my words, I will make sure you kneel to Lashira as your mother did yesterday.”
Nobert just kept quiet and accepted the box, saying nothing but thanking the man. “Thank you.”
After the car drove away leaving him, Nobert smiled faintly when he saw the box in his hand.
