Chapter 23 - An Unknown Approach!

"Wh-What? What do you mean by this?" Eva stuttered in fear while asking.

Czar seemed amused with her terrified reaction and grinned with a wicked expression prominent in his dark eyes.​​

"Didn't you consider it as blood smear? Or you were actually dumb enough to assume it as vinegar sauce?" He rolled his eyes mystically before asking.

Eva gritted her teeth in angst and stared at him inquisitively for a moment. "Hey, are you trying to manipulate me against your brother? You are such an evil brat!" She grumbled.

"Haha!" He laughed out aloud with her response. Slowly he stroked her head with his right arm and gazed at her in wonder. "You are really one of a kind! I can sense it now somehow, why do he badly want to protect you.." His voice sounded quite mysterious.

She quickly shoved away from his arm and glared at him. "I told you don't touch me! I am well aware that you are cunning but are you dumb too?" She snarled at him.

Czar ogled at her with a smirk and brought his face a bit closer to her ears. "Even though I am definitely not protective of you unlike him, but let me tell you a secret little duckling. The man who chased you at the elevator is already dead." He whispered under a low breath and quickly marched past her with a devilish smirk.

Eva shuddered in fear hearing the unexpected revelation, with her legs entirely frozen. She immediately turned back and rolled her eyes in surprise. Czar just walked past by her but there wasn't a single trace of him behind her! As if he suddenly vanished into thin air!

"Wh-What the f*ck? Where did he go? He just walked past there!" She murmured in dread and looked all around her. Being completely baffled by the absurd situation she abruptly started advancing towards her office room.

...

As soon as she left the hallway, immediately a flash of bright blue flame flashed out and Czar appeared with it. He was silently peeking at her by standing behind a pillar with a mystic smirk on his cherry red lips. But his pupils dilated which switched his eyes into a blue coloration while he was watching Eva from the back.

"I will show you his deepest secrets and let you decide his place in your heart, little duckling. Because it will be fun to snatch away the only human who is warming up his frozen heart." He abruptly turned away his gaze with a malicious sneer. "I guess I won't be bored much from now on." He murmured while walking away.

.......

It was around 7 pm. The sky was quite cloudy and heavy as if it was about to rain. Eva walked out of the office nonchalantly with a distressed gesture. Her mind was bulked up with several thoughts and assumptions.

"Did the evil brat lied to me about his brother? Is that perverted man really dead? And was that real blood on his shoes...! Ahh, his name... Zeus Romano... " She was murmuring with a frown face while heading towards her home.

With extreme agitation, she flipped her hair upwards and sighed deeply. "I can't believe it... This is only the first day and I am stressed like crazy! Damn! I shouldn't have come to work here!" She continued.

As Eva was walking by the footpath on the roadside, instantly she could sense that someone has been watching her! Immediately she turned around and looked over. But no trace of any cryptic guy was spotted.

"Ahh, I am just assuming things! Obviously, who would follow after such a mere girl like me? I should get back home real quick and have some rest." She increased her walking pace while progressing ahead.

...

But she wasn't assuming things as someone was indeed following her! And it was no one other than Zeus!

Zeus was walking on the pathway just opposite to her on the roadside in his invisible form. His worrisome eyes were glued on her and all he could do was strolling beside her but on the opposite sides of the path. But, she had already enchanted his cold heart.

"Why am I following her silently? It feels so annoying but I can't help. Ughh, what's wrong with me?" He was pouting his face while murmuring in a low breath.

As Eva was walking towards her home, suddenly she spotted an ice-cream truck and smiled like a small happy child. Watching her getting allured by a simple ice-cream truck, unknowingly Zeus smirked with a blissful grin.

"It's been so long since I had an ice-cream." Eva swiftly ran towards the truck.

But suddenly, her happy face completely faded into darkness as she spotted that her purse was missing! With a panicked face, she deliberately started to look all over for her bag but it was nowhere found!

"Damn! Where did I drop by my money bag now? What the hell! How am I gonna reach home now without money? Ughhh, damn!" She was panicking in a screeching resonance and desperately looking all around.

Zeus was watching everything from the opposite side. He snickered with her reactions as it was a bit amusing to him.

"This girl can surely get along quite well with troubles." He mumbled with a chuckle and started to walk towards her from the opposite side.

But all of a sudden his feet halted and his facial appearance grew quite darkish. He was ogling at someone with his enigmatic gaze.

"Umm, excuse me, is this your purse?"

Eva flinched in surprise at the sudden voice and turned behind. A tall, handsome, and considerate guy wearing a pair of golden spectacles was standing in front of her with a warm smile on his face. He seemed to be in his early twenties.

She immediately noticed that he was stretching out her money bag and without wasting a single second, she instantly grabbed it.

"Ye-Yes, it's mine! Th-Thank you so much!" She sounded extremely happy.

The guy smirked with her response and stared at her jubilantly before responding. "I am glad to make you happy."

...

Zeus was glaring at them from afar and clenched his fist with a feeling of agitation. His eyes changed into a bright red color as they were glued upon the new unknown guy.
