[Uh, you guys' meeting would only end in conflict, like any other meeting between a protagonist and an antagonist, but now that there are two of you, the conflict that is bound to happen would be taken up by quite a notch]
[You probably wouldn't even have to do anything, and conflicts would still arise between you]
'...Oh, wow...'
'... that sounds like a lot of fun...' he thought a slight smile beginning to appear at the corner of his lips.
"People say a man looks the most handsome when he's deep in thought..." Davies was broken out of his inner reverie by a voice coming from his side.
He looked in the direction of the voice only for his eyes to meet a pair of purple eyes staring at him with intrigue and interest.
"You sound like you have a different opinion," Davies replied to the purple-eyed figure that had intruded his thoughts.
"Yeah, I personally prefer them when they're covered in blood," Alyssa answered with a smile.
"... their blood or someone else's blood?" Davies replied to her with a pretty morbid question.
"Oohh... that got dark real fast," Alyssa said with a shiver, but whether it was a shiver of excitement or a shiver of fear, Davies had no idea, so he simply replied with a slight smile,
"Yes, it did."
"I'm quite intrigued by your way of thinking though," Alyssa responded.
"... Uh, yeah... about that,"
"When you've lived the kind of life I've lived, it becomes a normal thing," Davies said with the slightest hint of a deprecating smile appearing on his face.
"What kind of life have you lived?" Alyssa was visibly intrigued as could be told by the twinkle of curiosity that was so evidently gleaming in her eyes as she asked.
"You'd have to answer a question of mine first before I answer that," he retorted as he didn't want to have to answer that question.
"Ask away," Alyssa quickly replied.
"Why would you be interested in a man that is covered in blood?" Davies asked with the most questioning look he could muster.
"Oops... Did I say that out loud?" Alyssa's pretty hand flew to cover her mouth, unintentionally showing off her beautifully manicured fingers.
"Yes... yes, you did..." Davies affirmed with a bland look.
"Uh-Uhm, well," Alyssa was currently short of words as she could not say her original feelings regarding the matter, lest he looked at her as weird.
"Uh... don't we have an appointment,"
"Let me help you check on your injuries before they become worse," she cleverly tried to change the topic of the conversation, but Davies easily saw through it especially as this was what he wanted in the first place.
He didn't want to be seen as holding back information when he was trying to build up a connection with her for future purposes as that would be counter-effective in the building of a long-lasting relationship, so he had made sure to ask a question that she wouldn't wish to answer and force her to end that line of conversation herself.
"I'll take a rain check on that... my injuries have healed already..." Davies began.
"I'm pretty sure you know that even the weakest Megas have a pretty strong life force,"
"... and I... am by no means, weak," he explained, but the look in his eyes demonstrated the contempt he had for weakness.
His look visibly said that weakness was something that he would never allow himself to be and he was making good on that and would continue to do so.
"Oh..." Alyssa could see the contempt in his eyes but didn't know who or what the look was for, but since it wasn't her, she didn't feel the need to worry.
"I do need a personal doctor though..."
"So, what do you say? Would you mind being my personal doctor?" he requested with a blank look that showed disinterest.
"You asking with such an uninterested look on your face is kinda weird?"
"Also, I kinda already work for you... this is Imperium Hospital, remember?" Alyssa said with a teasing smile.
"Of course, I remember, I don't forget about important things, and yes, while you do work for me, the offer I just made is more personal," Davies said, still with a totally blank and disinterested look.
"How personal is more personal?" Alyssa asked with slightly squinted eyes.
"Hmmm..."
"Ignoring everything you're doing and coming to me whenever I call type of personal,"
"Having my personal support in everything you do, kind of personal,"
"And lastly, having in-depth sessions where we "explore" the secrets and imperfections of the human body, kind of personal," Davies listed out a couple of conditions.
"Hmmm... I certainly don't mind your "personal conditions","
"So, you agree?"
"Before that, what do you mean by in-depth sessions?"
"You'll find out later... Do you agree or not?" he asked while making sure to keep his look of total disinterest, making it seem like he was only doing this for convenience.
Women tended to have a fatal attraction for handsome men who acted with total disinterest in them, especially when they were beautiful and were used to receiving compliments and being fawned over, and he was making sure to utilize that weakness of theirs to its full extent.
Alyssa was a bit annoyed by his nonchalant attitude, but still couldn't resist the offer.
Having someone like Davies Lake as a backer was already attractive enough for her to not care even if she was going to be thrown into servitude of him... plus he was kinda attractive, and intriguing...
She couldn't resist giving in, and so, she did.
"Tch, yes, I agree," she said with an annoyed look on her face, trying to look tough so he wouldn't think of her as soft persimmon.
Little did she know that she stood in front of a professional player who could see through all these little antics with a glance.
Only betas don't know the heart of a woman... for an Alpha like him, a woman is like a clear stream filled with repetitive motions, motions he had already experienced and memorized... after all, women have no new tricks.
