Lucia faked a chuckle and said, "My bad. I was just so excited about meeting Anna that I got ahead of myself." Lucia is not sorry at all, she wanted to do that ever since she saw Anna's picture. But Anna's brother, Aaron kept hindering her from meeting Anna. Aaron always says. 'You're dangerous. You're not allowed to meet my sister.'
Every time Lucia hears that from Aaron, she always get furious. What does he mean she's dangerous? Why is she a threat to Anne? She is not gonna do anything that will harm Anna. She would be happy to protect Anna from any danger.
To make Aaron allow her to see Anna, Lucia made a reasonable excuse. 'I heard that Anna decided to take part in the organization. Don't you think that she should meet me? After all, she needs to familiarize herself to the future official members of the organization.' After she said that to Aaron, it took Aaron a whole day to allow her to meet Anna.
"Well, I hope that you won't do it again. It will only make Anna uncomfortable." It true that it would make Anna feel awkward and uncomfortable, but the situation that Anna is in now is making her feel more than awkward and uncomfortable. She wants to get away from Kyle's grip, but she can't. Kyle's grip is too strong for her to escape.
Though Kyle said it like that, in Lucia's understanding what he is saying is, 'Don't you ever touch Anna. I'm the only one who is allowed to do that.'
Lucia scoffed at Kyle's childishness. 'Why are you being possessive towards her? You and Anna are not together, you also have no right to do that.' Lucia wanted to say that, but she held herself back.
"Yes, yes. It won't happen again." Lucia smiled sweetly, but behind that sweet smile Kyle can tell what she meant, 'I don't care what you say, I will do whatever I want, whenever I want.'
How Kyle wishes to get rid of this woman in front of him right this instance. She's a threat! A major threat to Kyle.
Couldn't handle it any longer, Anna finally spoke up, "Um... can you please let me go?" The longer she stayed at Kyle's grip, the more Anna felt that her face is turning bright red. To top that, her brother is still there watching and not saying anything. That makes her feel somewhat irritated, why is her brother not helping her? Can't he see that she is having a hard time in Kyle's grip?
Aaron couldn't deny that he did not notice that his sister is having a hard time. As much as he wanted to help her, he couldn't because he was enjoying the show that Kyle and Lucia are making. 'It's not a bad thing to have my fun once in a while, right?' Aaron asked inwardly.
Even though Kyle doesn't want to let go of Anna, he still has to release her or else Anna might distance herself away from him. He doesn't want that to happen especially now that he is just starting to make his move.
Unwillingly, Kyle let Anna escape from his grip. Lucia was satisfied and revealed a smirk; Kyle saw it and he was annoyed by that smirk on her face. Kyle was originally worried about the guys lingering around Anna, but seeing Lucia today made him feel even more worried than before. It looks like men are not the only one he should be cautious for.
Now that Aaron had enough of watching, he faces Anna and said, "Anna, I think mom was calling you. I'll handle our guest and you go check out mom." What Aaron said is not an excuse for him to get his sister out of this situation. What he said is the truth, when Aaron came in earlier, their mother asks him to tell Anna that she was looking for her. Their mother did not tell him the reason and he wanted to ask why, but since Lucia was injured, he had to postpone his curiosity and attended Lucia first.
Anna nodded, but before she goes and searches for her mother, she faces Kyle and Lucia then said, "Have a good day, Kyle. And it was nice to meet you, Lucia."
Though her first meeting with Lucia in this lifetime is quite different from what she had expected, Anna is sure that Lucia is still the same kind girl that she met in her past life. There is no doubt in it; she could feel that nothing will change in their relationship.
When they couldn't see Anna anymore, Kyle and Lucia glared at each other once again.
"How bold of you touching her like that. Don't you know that you cannot touch a woman like that without permission? You have gained some negative points." Lucia said. Knowing that Anna is not any other type of girl who would jump on a man because of wealth; Lucia is sure that because of Kyle's action earlier is a big no-no for Anna. 'Your chances are going down, Mr. Goody-goody.'
"Says the one who made a big impression on Anna," Kyle said in a sarcastic tone. "I think you are the one who gained those negative points." Kyle is not backing down. No matter who it is, as long as they have an ugly motive towards Anna, he will get rid of them without any trace left behind.
Aaron who was being ignored by the two frowned as he watches them bicker. They kept bickering about Anna as if he is not here listening. Have they already forgotten that Anna's brother is him?
Aaron tsked, and went in between them, "Stop it both of you! Don't fight over my sister as if I am not here! Both of you are in the wrong here! Doing such action to my sister is unforgivable!" Though his words are too late to say that, it still made the two shut their mouths.
Meanwhile, since Kyle and the others' position are near where Marcus' study office is, Marcus could hear every single word that the three of them are spouting.
Marcus always has dreamt of having a peaceful retirement life, but with the things that are currently going on right now, he guesses that his dream of quiet retirement life is squashed by the young generation he knows. 'Life cannot be what you expected.' Marcus sighed and continue to listen to the people outside.
