Chapter 380 - How to make her behave

Meanwhile…

Dragon didn't utter a word as he carried her on his shoulder, like a sack of rice away from the bas_e_m_e_nt. On the other hand, Seraphina could feel her blood slowly going down on her head, yet, she remained silent as her indifferent gaze scanned where he was carrying her to.

"Are you going to r*pe me?" Out of nowhere, Seraphina bluntly inquired as they passed by her room and Dragon seemingly dragging her outside the cozy resthouse.

"Tsk, will you even let me?" Cl_i_c_k_i_n_g his tongue in annoyance, his surprised expression earlier dissipated and was back to his cold front.

"Hmmm… who knows." Slightly tilting her lolling head that was moving sideways with his every step, Seraphina apathetically responded.

Dragon didn't bother with her nonsense anymore as he already saw through her ploy. When they reach the outside of the premises, Dragon marginally squatted down and Seraphina jumped out from him.

Tapping his shoulder before he could even stand straight, she grinned. "Thanks, you're so reliable."

"Reliable? Anyone could read that you are purposely flirting for some sketchy reason." Frowning, Dragon spoke in a matter of factly tone.

Indeed, at first, he thought that Seraphina was being serious about opening her heart to him. However, seeing the dreaded glint that flashed across her eyes, he knew that something was wrong and Seraphina was being discreet about it.

"Explain. This is not my turf and I have been your house boy for quite some time." Dragon flatly demanded as his icy gaze landed on her small figure that was busy scrutinizing the area.

"Luciano happened. Don't know how but he left an unnoticeable bug in X's system." Without halting from looking around, Seraphina briefly explained why she was acting out of character and have to use Dragon's weakness by flirting with him.

"Can't believe I fell in love with this woman…" slightly shaking his head in disbelief, Dragon heavily sighed before he averted his focus on the serious matter. "How can that happen? The devil's eye was activated."

"That is why I said, I didn't know. What I'm certain of is that he is spying on me for whatever sick reason he has." After doing a triple check of the area that her gaze could reach, Seraphina sounded lax about her speculations. 

Well, she had foreseen this happening. Hence, even though Dragon lend her a hand and helped X from securing their system— Seraphina still detected a suspicious bug in their system that seemed to be a normal file if not checked thoroughly.

"I see…" Nodding in understanding, Dragon slid his hand inside his pocket before he slid it out with a thin case of cigarettes. Clipping it in between his thin red lips, he lit it up and took a long drag and puffed it in the air.

"If the devil and god's eye could not stop him from infiltrating your system then… there's a high possibility that he has the same program just like ours." 

"Well, it doesn't matter. I actually want him to locate my place and drop by— saves me the trouble of looking for him." Shrugging her shoulders, Seraphina was about to snatch the cigarette in his lips but before she could do so, Dragon swiftly clipped it in between his left fingers then held it high— where she could not reach it.

"Tsk tsk tsk, bad girl." Smirking, Dragon slightly shook his head as he looked at the dissatisfied expression plastered across her face. He added, "This is bad for your health…" 

"Ha!" Seraphina let out a loud scoffed as she looked up to the stick of cigarettes in his possession. "Want me to climb up there?"

"You don't have to…" Still smirking, a mischievous glint flashed across his eyes as he stepped forward to her small figure. He slowly leaned forward to her— leaving a palm length gap from her harmless face.

"Be a good girl and just ask nicely," with that said note in his low, deep voice, Dragon was clearly teasing and seducing her at the same time. Yet, Seraphina only had a poker face as she blinked slowly.

After a second, a sweet smile formed on the side of her lips as her dark aura suddenly turned bright that it was nearly blinding. "Baby, please?"

Witnessing her quick transition closely, Dragon's brows uncontrollably twitched. He was just teasing her to get back on her for using him without his permission. However, he didn't actually expect that she would comply.

"This… is this the key to make you behave?" Ridiculous he knows but, Dragon could not fathom that Seraphina would go this low just for a stick of cigarette. He added, "What are you? A prisoner?"

"Well," Shrugging her shoulder, Seraphina raised her brows as she grinned brightly because she indeed caught him off guard. "I don't want to go inside for just a stick, eh?"

"Damn…" Dragon could only curse under his breath as her reason was as petty as usual yet, he was getting affected by seeing the old Seraphina that used to address him so sweetly.

"Come on, I need to think." Moving her fingers forward and backward, gesturing him to give him the lit cigarette, she demanded with an amused expression across her face. Seeing that he was looking at her with a frown, she raised her brows up and down as if she had no idea what she just did to his blackened heart.

"Cunning woman." Dragon helplessly muttered as he conceded in defeat before putting down his raised hand and gave the cigarette to her. Of course, Seraphina gladly accepted it as she placed it in between her lips and smoked it.

Glancing at him, Seraphina puffed the redolent smoke to his direction which made his majestic facial feature slightly twitch and made him narrow his eyes. Turning his unreadable eyes on her, Dragon tilted his head as he pondered briefly.

After a millisecond, Dragon swiftly leaned forward just when Seraphina was about to blow the smoke in his direction again-- stealing another kiss on the side of her lips.
