Chapter 168 - Good mor--noon?

"Contact Max if there is any progress." Dragon's authoritative voice commanded before nonchalantly left the premises.

Its been years that this project was on-going and if it was a success, domineering the world will be a piece of cake. His relentless ambition is like a bottomless pit. Moreover, now that he has someone to protect, he wanted to build a place for her safety in this corrupt and dangerous world.

Dragon left the premises without a care in the world as he knew the devil's eyes were activated that blinds Luciano's god's eye -- keeping Dragon safe for now. Since his relationship with Seraphina was now official, he's taking great efforts to keep his safety. Furthermore, he doesn't want her to become a widow before she knew it.

Unbeknownst to his knowledge, when his ride exited the facility's vicinity, Seraphina was dilly-dallying on the side of the road. Although his car was speeding, she caught the glimpse of his plate number.

Seraphina's brows knitted seeing the familiar license plate. She can't be mistaken as she memorized Dragon's car plate number.

"What is he doing here?" she murmurs audibly. Since the only place this road leads is either a deserted place or the lab facility, she can't help but ponder. Alas, love must have blind her as she didn't dwell on the matter any longer.

"Well, it's a good thing that he didn't see me." Seraphina sighs in relieve before starting her motorbike and sped away.

[the next day]

Dark circles around her eyes were visible. Though Seraphina already put the matter on the back of her head on why Dragon was in the facility, alas, just as she wants to sleep, her mind won't stop functioning; questioning herself over and over again -- causing her to stay awake throughout the night.

"Damn, this won't do!" Just as she cursed out, a doorbell sound resonated inside her apartment. Seraphina drags her body to open the door. Since she decided to stay in this almost forgotten place, she concluded that it must be the landlady.

"What--" Just as Seraphina opens the door and asks the person outside her doorsteps, she immediately shuts it seeing the majestic profile of the person. For a moment, she had a mini heart attack.

'Dang!' Her already terrific morning appearance transform to a new degree when she realizes that her choice to stay in this place is the right decision.

Then, a light knocks followed. Seraphina friskily fixes herself before opening the door. Well, he had seen her worst state anyway.

"Err, good mor-- noon? Hehe." Seraphina awkwardly greeted. Dragon's brows knitted seeing her distressed look yet, he didn't say anything back.

"Ah, yes! Come in." Seraphina disorientedly invited him in after staring at him for quite some time. Dragon wordlessly scans her almost empty apartment.

Aside from a lone sofa and table in the middle of her small apartment, there's literally nothing inside the living room. It was as if no one lives there which is rather suspicious. Alas, probably, love destitute his vision and let no suspicion rose in him.

He brainwashed himself that she was always like that -- not a housewife material. After all, back in country S, she spent more time outside, having fun instead of her temporary apartment. Thus, he was convinced that she was always like that.

Seraphina scratches the back of her head seeing Dragon discreetly examining her place. She never realized it before but now that her beautiful darling was in this place, she felt embarrassed for the first time.

This only shows what kind of oddball she was. The seemingly 'nice' image she's been building up was now tainted. Alas, she can't possibly ask him that he should pretend that her place is not worse than a storage room, right?

"Hehe, erm… Baby, take a seat to the most comfortable seat in the universe. Hehe" Seraphina ridiculed. She insulted her own stuff herself so if ever Dragon will say something about it, she probably feels less hurt.

On the other hand, Dragon sat at the only sofa in sight as if he doesn't mind the dust that flew when he perched on it. Seraphina almost wants to dig a hole to hide from this humiliation. Granting that she is indeed a shameless person, alas, in front of this gifted man, she doesn't want to show her bad side in an instant. Though she already flaunts it the very first time they met.
