Chapter 103 Not Even Blesseds Were Spared

Oblivious to Nicole's thoughts, Alex simply said to Lucielle, "it's a pleasure to have you guys here. Please make yourselves comfortable and I'll be back in a bit."

Alex wasn't trying to escape, he really had a lot of things to do right now.

More guests were coming and he had to greet them all.

Nixie wasn't here yet and he was waiting for her. He had called her a while ago and she said there was a slight problem that occurred.

What the slight problem was, well... Nix's car couldn't accommodate three people and she refused to have her parents go to the hotel in a taxi.

It was her husband's big day, she wanted them to go to the venue properly.

Thus, just like Alex, Nix ended up hitting a car dealership as well, albeit a little late. This time she took her father to buy something he liked.

Eventually, Nix texted that she couldn't buy something her father liked.

When asked why, she replied that he liked the cars that either he had designed or some compact small car for daily commute. Her mother didn't like this and then started arguing with her dad, stating that this wasn't Italy for him to worry about narrow roads and traffic.

Eventually, against her father's wishes once again, Nix ended up getting a BMW M series model that her mother liked.

Her father was complaining about the mother-daughter pair not understanding the beauty of Italian cars, but oh well, Nix and Isla both turned a deaf ear towards those comments and were on their way to the hotel.

Alex waited for them, and in the meantime, greeted the other guests.

Nicole and Lucielle, who had parted ways with Alex, surprisingly enough, were sitting at the same table in a corner of the hall.

It wouldn't be appropriate to stand around Nicole, so her bodyguards were sitting at the tables around her, keeping a watch on the people in the hall.

Taking a sip of a citrusy mocktail, Nicole calmly looked at the calm Lucielle sitting in front of her.

This woman's expression was anything but similar to the one she showed to Alex at the entrance.

"I wonder what a high profile lady like you is doing here." Nicole said calmly while looking at Lucielle.

Lucielle, with a neutral expression on her face, replied while sipping on a sweet mocktail, "the same could be asked to you."

Marcelle, sitting beside her mother, had no interest in these two's talks. She busied herself by doing some work on her phone and ignored them.

Nicole had an interested look on her face. "He's my doctor. It's only natural that I pay him a visit."

"Hmm?" Lucielle felt something fishy. She put her mocktail down and staring right into Nicole's eyes, said, "How was he treating you? His license arrived today."

Without a license, one wasn't allowed to practice. Lucielle was told by Alex on call that this celebration is for him officially being able to practice medicine.

Lucielle's reply made Nicole feel suspicious this time. How did this woman know Alex got his license today? Did he tell her? If he did, then the question was... Why? Why did he tell her? What was the relationship between the two?

The flickering glint in Nicole's eyes didn't go unnoticed by Lucielle. She didn't call out Nicole on this though and waited for her reply.

Looking at the calm woman, Nicole felt slightly disturbed for the first time in a while.

She could easily say her relationship with Alex, but then, why should she? There was no reason for her to give any explanation to this woman.

Nicole maintained her calm persona and replied, "I am sure your intelligence network is wide. Why don't you ask them?"

A murderous glint flickered in Lucielle's eyes. It was a small killing intent, present nonetheless.

Marcelle didn't see it, but Nicole for sure did.

Of course, Nicole wasn't afraid of such things and she stared right into Lucielle's purple eyes.

The two ladies were about to end up in a stare down, but then, a feminine looking butler walked in their direction and said,

"Hello—"

Thud!

BAM!

'Oh shit...'

A waiter that was walking behind the butler bumped into him due to the butler suddenly stopping.

This caused the butler to stagger forwards and he ended up stepping on another butler's shoelace, making that poor guy bang himself down on Nicole's table.

The drinks from his hand were naturally splashed everywhere, making Nicole, Lucielle, Marcelle, and even the butler?get drenched with it.

"Goddamn!" Nicole cursed, already in a really bad mood.

Her bodyguards rushed towards her and asked if she was okay, which made Nicole even more angry, knowing these useless couldn't even stop two waiters from stumbling like this.

She was about to burst when someone rushed in her direction and asked, "are you guys okay?"

This voice... It made Nicole and Lucielle both feel calm.

Lucielle's cheerful expression was back and turning to the source of the voice, Alex, she said playfully, "what is this, Alex? I fully expected you to come a second earlier and save us like a hero, you know?"

Her comment left Nicole and Marcelle dumbfounded, while Alex had no idea what she was talking about.

He couldn't help but just say, "I am sorry—"

"Ah, don't fret. It's just a small accident." Lucielle quickly dismissed his apology.

She knew that this really was an accident and Alex shouldn't apologize like this.

Lucielle's sudden change in attitude greatly surprised Nicole once again. She wondered whether she was looking at the right person or not.

Was this the same cold lady from here? Was this the same lady who had murder on her mind while staring at Nicole?

Oblivious to Nicole's thoughts, Alex said, "well, I am sure you're feeling uncomfortable right now. Why don't you guys check into a room? I'll have someone deliver new clothes in the meantime."

Nicole and Lucielle could understand Alex. They two didn't give him a hard time and not wanting Marcelle to say anything on this, Lucielle quickly dragged her away from this place and said to Alex that she'll be back in a bit.

Nicole too took her leave and once everyone was gone, Alex stared at the butler in front of him with knitted brows.

Smack!

"Stupid guy."

"Ow!" n(-0VelbIn

Alex smacked the back of the butler's head, making the poor guy start rubbing it to ease the pain.

This butler, this feminine looking dude who wasn't a dude, he was none other than Linc.

Alex had underestimated the Jinx.

Or maybe Linc had been happy for a while and this caused the negativity to spread and cause problems.

Alex remembered that Linc seemed happy while driving the car, then he guessed she might've gotten happy or maybe relaxed when he wasn't with her.

He also saw her gobbling up some appetizers happily in the party and having an ecstatic look on her face.

'Tch, a little neglect and even these Blesseds weren't spared.' Alex thought to himself and stared at Linc.

Linc's body shrieked under the gaze of her master and she tried to think of ways to run away.

Alex grabbed a waiter passing by and said to him, "take his guy with you and get him a new pair of clothes. It's fine if you give him a similar uniform as yours."

Before Linc could protest about it, Alex walked away and with a disheartened look, Linc had to go with the waiter to change.

The waiter took Linc to the dressing room and, checking his size, gave him a small set of clothes.

"Feel free to change here, sir." The waiter then said.

"W-what? Here? There's no dressing room?" Linc looked around and asked.

The waiter shook his head. "Sir, this is the men's room. We don't need a dressing room."

Linc let out a small yelp in shock. She would need to change in front of this guy!? Impossible!

She would never do such a thing!

Even though she looked like a man, she wasn't a man!

"Where's the bathroom?" Linc tried to be rational and asked.

The waiter pointed at the bathroom and Linc immediately made a run for it, shutting the door quickly.

A few minutes later, she walked out in fresh clothes with a relieved sigh.

Not even a second had passed since she got out, when she suddenly saw a man standing outside the bathroom and jumped in fright.

"What are you doing, slacker!? The kitchen's short staffed, go help them quickly." The man yelled and then ran inside the bathroom.

In the next instant, Linc heard someone's bowel explode and shivered in disgust.

She fastened her pace and didn't want to stay in this room anymore, but before making an exit, she heard a loud symphony of the toilet getting absolutely annihilated by that man.

Linc almost puked at this and while running away, thought, 'why... why must all such things happen to me...'

Linc teared up during her run and finally made it to the party hall.

Before going inside though, she spotted a beautiful greenish-blue haired lady and knowing who she was, Linc started crying and made a run towards her.

"Master—"

Thud!
