Chapter 259 - is that enough clues? (1/2)
Seraphina smiled. She was reminded of how Ace had a habit of going in circles by his words. Oddly enough, though they were redundant, he can still relay his message just with the same words.
Tapping her fingers on the table, Seraphina slowly closed her eyes for a minute before opening them again. Her gaze immediately caught's Ace who was languidly leaning on the wall with his blank expression.
Raising her taping fingers to support her chin as Seraphina leans closer, her perilous gaze earlier when she was threatening George was gone and turns into a gentle one. To her, if Leon is akin to a skewed overprotective big brother, Ace, on the other hand, is like a younger brother to her.
After all, although Ace seems dangerous and his assassin instincts were unbelievable if he set aside his emotion but, just like her, the people that he believed would be his family treat him with contempt. One of the reasons why of all people, she respects and understood Ace's feelings back in the days because she can relate.
”Hmm, why don't you find out yourself? You know, when you get bored on your day-offs -- at least there's something to do if you're not guarding the door of my Gramps.” As usual,
Seraphina would want to challenge Ace just like the good old days.
However, Ace didn't notice the similarities of how Luciano make him play his little guessing game instead of saying it himself. Smirking as a glint flash across Ace's eyes, it was as if taking her challenge as he was utterly bored doing his job guarding the door of Sebastian Yue for a month.
”by the way, you can work under me since my Gramps will be very well guarded from now on. That's' much easier, right?” Seraphina added with a smug grin. Indeed, not only Logan will make a priority to secure Sebastian Yue but she is certain that George will do the same to his own safety while he prepares his scheme.
Seraphina then slowly placed both her palms on top of the table as she assisted herself to stand up, she languidly traces the edges of the table by her right hands while taking strides to the table knife standing erect in between the split in a half plate.
Pulling it without any exerting effort, Seraphina scans it thoroughly before smirking and threw it on the jamb of the dining entrance. The table knife then embedded at the patio frame which made the person hiding behind it flinch in shock.
”Didn't you said you're not feeling well?” Seraphina audibly spoke to the person hiding behind the wall. After she stabbed George Yue's palm, Seraphina already noticed this person's and Ace presence came into her vicinity, yet, she doesn't mind. After all, Geoge screams were akin to a pig that was being butchered. So, it would be impossible that someone who's courageous enough will take a look at what was happening.
