Chapter 157 - lexicon (1/2)
After Seraphina consumed the tea, a female servant knocks on the door.
”Master, the breakfast is served.” She courtly informed without opening the door.
”Bring it in.” Though his voice wasn't loud enough in Seraphina's opinion, she was amazed by the keen ears of his servants when they brought an exquisite serving trolley with a variety of heavenly dishes on it.
”Woah…” Seraphina was in awe as little servings were placed on the round small table. Dragon gestured the female maid to leave which they followed after bowing their heads in respect.
”I caught a big fish, indeed.” Seraphina humor as her gaze scans the mouth-watering breakfast. It reminds her of her days when she was at the Yue family mansion -- her grandfather always prepares a grand feast whenever she visits him.
Without further ado, Seraphina started ravishing the food that's in front of her. Her poise was forgotten as she acts like what she usually does with her disguise. After all, it is best to eat when she had hangover -- it helps her lessen the pain. Dragon as composed as he was, didn't mind her lacks of table manners and ate as well.
After their meal ended, out of nowhere, Dragon brought up a pack full of medicines then shoved it to her. Since Seraphina was in a good mood and knows what those medicines for, she took them without questions.
”Last night… do you remember?” he inquired as he taps his finger on top of the table, patiently waiting for her response. Alas, Seraphina's eyes dilate when she remembers something.
”My keys! My phone! My wallet!” she unconsciously yelp.
”I got them.” Dragon nonchalantly answers.
Seraphina sighs in relief. After all, after drinking so hard last night, the one thing that a person can be relieved after is not losing the essential things of her daily life.
”You are so reliable.” Seraphina murmurs in between her relieve sighs. Dragon kept silent as he gazes her intently.
Actually, he wanted to ask her a lot of things such as: who is she? Why does she cling to him? What does she wants and so on. However, probably due to the myriad of questions he wanted to ask, he doesn't know where to start.
If she was a traitor or an enemy, he won't be too kind to get the answer in a proper way -- it will always be the hard way. Alas, for some reason, he doesn't want to scare her off despite the fact that she has terrifying skills.
Seeing that the man with oozing great looks staring at her, Seraphina tilts her head in confusion. Her expression was as if the drunken girl last night was just one's figment of imagination. She looks innocent and pure no matter how he stares at her.
