The Throne Of The Heart
Section 46
Chris smiled at Lashira who was before him at this moment. Instead of feeling uncomfortable because of the sharp gaze Lashira directed at him, Chris actually felt Lashira was so funny when she looked at him sharply like that. I don't know why he remembered his pet dog.
“So?”
“What's the reason Greyson turned down your offer?” ask Lashira.
Chris lifted his coffee cup and took a sip before replying to Lashra's question. “You sure you really want to hear it?” Lashira nodded confidently. Of course he is convinced, it is not easy for Lashira to meet with Chris without Greyson's knowledge. If he still could not hear that reason, it was a waste of his struggle to get here now.
“So what's the reason? Don't waste my time, I can't stay here too long,” said Lashira coldly.
Chris chuckled softly. “Of course you are, what else? Only two people can influence the boy's decision, his mother and also .. you,” press him with a face that is not as friendly as before.
“Your childish pact ties her neck even though she likes the tension she feels while running the underworld. When he said that excuse two years ago, the desire to exterminate you was overflowing until our meeting that time. You remember?”
Lashira's face remained flat after hearing all of Chris' words.
“I was a little happy because at that meeting I realized you weren't as stupid or as naive as Greyson told you, but the feelings between you guys were very disturbing to me. Your childish love reminds me of the foolish behavior of my brother who committed suicide after seeing his wife remarry his former best friend.”
“Wait! Suicide you said?!” pekik Lashira was unconscious.
Chris sneered cunningly at her. “It turns out that the hypnosis Scarlett did a few years ago had no effect on you huh? Looks like you remember all your memories.”

To, Brother Nor :
I was at the cafe near the office. When your work is done, pick me up!
After finishing sending a message to Norbert, Lashira again enjoyed her macchiato caramel and in front of her there was Severin who was also enjoying the ice americano.
“Until when are you here?” lashira asked in a hostile tone.
“You still fight with Greyson?”
Lashira just nodded lazily. The girl's hand was busy turning page after page of the novel book she had read regardless of Severin who had been reluctant to take her eyes off Lashira.
“Is there something on my face?” lashira asked without taking her eyes off.
“Your face is ugly, I was just thinking .. Why can Greyson choose a woman like you? Did he lose his mind?” Severin's relaxed tone of speech with no guilt at all somehow made Lashira grow irritated when she heard it.
“What am I really like? You speak as if you knew me from the inside. I'm pretty to know! It should even be Greyson who is grateful for getting me.”
Severin laughed loudly to attract the attention of the visitors, Lashira reflexively covered her face with the book she was holding. “Gubluk really ... shy!” hiss Lashira slowly.
“Gubluk? Where did those words come from? Though ‘kan you life no life so far,” taunted Severin right on target because after that Lashira immediately silenced her mouth tightly.
Severin was silent for a while, there was a feeling that bothered her after seeing Lashira's cold expression and gaze earlier. He cleared his throat slowly before speaking again, “tadi ... You two talk about anything?”
Lashira remained silent, the girl tried her best to turn her entire attention to the book in her hand instead of responding to the creature before her.
“Did he tell you to leave Greyson again?”
Lashira raised her gaze to Severin's face. “You've heard the idiom about cats?”
“Cat? A cat?”
Lashira nodded slowly confirming. “Don’t you know curiosity kills the cat?”
“You threatened me?”
Lashira quickly put on her hoodie hood and mask to avoid being recognized by the two. Both eyebrows Lashira linked because they feel confused and curious about the togetherness of the two people. Since when are they close? Her thought.
Severin who had only been paying attention had raised next to his eyebrows in wonder. Not long ago Severin's attention immediately shifted to the person who had just stepped out of his luxury car out there.
“Greyson clock direction 10.” said Severin who immediately understood Lashira.
Without speaking anything more, Lashira immediately brought her belongings and rushed out to Greyson. Severin, watching from her place, moved in after Lashira and Greyson got into the car.
Severin grinned faintly as her eyes met momentarily with Leon's gaze as she was about to step out of the cafe.
Meanwhile, Lashira and Greyson are still in the car after suddenly forcing Greyson to leave. “I thought Brother Norbert would pick me up,” shrewd Lashira with a downcast face. Greyson turned his head for a while and refocused himself on the road.
“You're still mad?” lashira asked who occasionally glanced at Greyson.
“Grey!” pekik Lashira for not being ignored since.
“Why?”
“Sucks! He was indeed an old man of infuriation,” Lashira grumbled quite loudly until Greyson could hear him so clearly.
“What do you eat?” ask Greyson.
“Terserah,” reply Lashira while turning her face away.
“Oke seafood.”
Lashira looked at Greyson horror. “I can't eat seafood and you know that,” he said not accept.
“So he said whatever,” reply Greyson.
“Grey! You are so annoying!”
“You said it many times. Not bored?” Greyson put his car into one of the restaurants and went straight down followed by Lashira behind him. The girl's head continued to bow until she did not know that Greyson had stopped her steps, as a result of which her forehead kissed Greyson's sturdy back quite tight.
Greyson only turned his head for a moment when he heard Lashira's ringing. Then continue his steps up to the top floor. “It’s hurt,” muttered Lashira slowly.
Lashira sat in front of Greyson with a scowled facial expression. For whatever sake his forehead still feels hot and a little throbbing because it hit the back of the man earlier.
“Why in the VIP room? It's just a regular meal.” Lashira's voice squeaked in the last two words as it got a sharp glare from Greyson.
“Don't get too close to Severin,” Greyson said after the waiter came out of this room.
“Why? What does it have to be?” lashira asked with a flat face expression. Lashira tried her best not to smile because she could feel the jealousy of this man, she was happy because her efforts managed to make Greyson disturbed all day.
Greyson became sensitive today, even Norbert also got his sap just for making a small mistake. Norbert told me everything and asked if they were fighting or not. Of course Lashira told him the truth because she herself also got a little information beforehand. Think of it as an exchange of information, Lashira thought.
“Ira! You didn't listen to me?”
Lashira shouts innocence, Greyson to the point of being stunned by Lashira's change in expression. “You're happy to hear Clarissa ask to see me in one eye?” asked Greyson who instantly made Lashira's smile wither away instantly.
“What did you say, Grey?!”
