Chapter 67 - Overlord's Odd Behaviour

Why to endure the pain of love alone when you can enjoy it by sharing!

~~~~~~ 

Dressed wholeheartedly Syna stood in front of the mirror, she was swaying with heart filled with happiness after Sinclair's confession and his gentle kiss of yesterday's. 

The air was dancing with her along the romantic rhythm of her heart. She felt lively for the first time, she could feel the happiness of being loved by someone specifically a guy.

She put on the sherry colored gloss on her pink lips, then picked up a hazel lens.

"I don't think so I should try this, my green magic is enough to tempt him!"

She placed them back in the box on the dressing table and let her blonde hair open which  fell down the length to her hips.

Hiding her breath taking back in that hazel coloured skin fit dress, Syna stared at her reflection and smiled wholeheartedly, although she forgave Sinclair long ago but still she hid this from him. 

Then took her black lace shrug that draped around her shoulder and wore that hurriedly while humming in a sweet tone and stomping her right foot on the floor in a certain rhythm.

Oh! the girl was trapped into the war of hormones, her heart was poisoned by love again, the venom was spreading in her blood gradually, becoming the part of her body and drugging her senses.

Her activity was interrupted when the cell phone rang. The girl at the information desk, her number flashed on the screen.

"Why is she calling?"

Though Syna didn't get to meet everyone in the conglomerate but she made a few friends in a week, which included jade Lombardi too.

Syna answered the call, completely confused. The girl on the other side uttered at once.

"C-come to the company at once boss is angry and asking for you."

"B-but why? What happened?"

The quizzical queen stuttered totally unaware and hella confused. She was informed by Madeleine that Sinclair left in a hurry for the company early.

"I don't know. He came early and was angry when he arrived. And he just asked for you."

"Oh! Okay I'm coming."

Syna ended the call and grabbed her bag and hurriedly took the staircase and even ignored the calling of Madeleine, and then cab.

Throughout the way she was thinking about him.

"What might have happened? What made him so angry? "

"Perhaps he... yesterday night...he wants to fire me! Oh no, no. Wait! Maybe he knows I'm a journalist!"

After muddling and struggling with her brain she came up with only these two possibilities. 

"Oh! I'm screwed. My secret. Oh! No, I'm doomed."

The cab stopped at the MacLaverty conglomerate, the soaring den of CEO Ghost King awaited for her. Syna paid the driver and ran towards the elevator. Her body was cold and she was shivering with mind stuck and blank.

She rubbed her right hand on the surface of left and then together and inhaled a deep breath. As the elevator stopped at the destination her heart skipped a beat out of fear! The ordinary human bride felt fear from Ghost King!

She ran towards Sinclair's cabin, but stopped at the door for some seconds and then knocked after mustering up courage. 

"Come in!"

The multimillionaire CEO was angry, his tone was really aggressive. 

Syna stepped inside hesitating when Sinclair gave her a glare and shot up from his leather chair. What was actually happening?

He came closer in front of her and gazed at her silhouette as if was relating to something or making a few calculations. Syna stared at his face, his expressions were stern as his one hand was tucked beneath the chin with wondering expressions.

"Hm. That's it."

Sinclair spoke without any difference in expressions as if he had found something or caught a flaw!

"W-what, boss?"

As he finished, Syna skipped a beat, her heart stopped. She clearly assumed that her disguise was blown and now Sinclair would definitely leave her for lying.

"Let's go."

Sinclair went for her hand and dragged her towards the glass door of the cabin.

"But where to Sinclair?"

Syna was still confused about his odd behavior whether he recognised her identity or not? What he was doing?

Sinclair gave her a deadly glare but didn't answer her question. They both came out of the cabin and the lord dragged her towards the elevator. Syna remained quiet throughout. 

While all other employees were staring at both as the cold young master, who never had an affair nor was involved in any scandal, was now holding a girl's hand which made them wonder by leaving the whole staff in a daze as Sinclair embraced her hand tightly.

Within the elevator they both were quiet but Sinclair was still holding her hand and Syna was staring at his face without any idea of what was happening.

The elevator reached the ground floor and he took her out towards the parking lot with a preoccupied mind.

The filthy rich lord unlocked his Bugatti Veyron and with the glare of his eyes ordered his bride to settle in. She simply acted and sat in the front seat in the left of driving one.

The luxurious car dusted on the road as  Sinclair drove silently when Syna mustered up courage and asked him.

"Boss, a-are you alright?"

"Mmm."

His expression softened a little after witnessing his bride worrying about him, but that was the reply he gave to her with his gaze glued towards the path.

Syna was still confused whether her fear about her identity was right or not. Or the Ghost King's 'brother' had found out that originally she came to him for breaking the curse.

Sinclair stopped at the famous 'exquisite' beauty parlour. Syna stared at the shiny silver board when Sinclair came by her side and opened the car door.

"Come with me."

He stretched his hand out which Syna grabbed, jaw dropped and they both went in. She didn't have a clue why she was brought here all of a sudden.
