Chapter 91 - Mountain Out Of Molehill

The night was tranquil with stars akin to diamonds shining in the dark night sky. Sera's bedroom was brightly lit with the blush pink curtains were swaying along with the cool breeze, it was harmonious.

Sera was over the moon humming a sweet melody, looking into the mirror and caressing the pendant. She had changed into comfortable tshirt and shorts, with her hair tied in a loose bun she was looking breathtaking even in such simple attire.

"A penny for your thoughts..", Su Yin emerged from Sera's back startling the latter.

"Aaaaah..", Sera shrieked like a lunatic and punched Su Yin in fear, which Su Yin dodged expertly and snickered at her.

"You Scared Me!", Sera accused Su Yin clutching her chest.

"Haha..", Su Yin couldn't control herself anymore and erupted in a fit of laughter pointing her finger at Sera.

"Enough! Just get out if you want to laugh like mad woman!", Sera shouted pushing her towards the door.

"Okay, okay. I'm sorry..", Su Yin admitted defeat raising her hands, then wiped the tears at the corner of her eyes.

Su Yin dragged Sera to her bed and sat beside her, with a deathly serious gaze she interrogated Sera,

"Now! Spill the beans..", Sera gulped unconsciously at Su Yin's probing and her intimidating gaze.

"Wh..What are you saying..", Sera stammered, she decided to take a gamble and refused to reveal anything about Lucifer.

"Who were you with? Was it Ethan?", Su Yin probed further pushing Sera to the edge, holding her intense gaze.

"I.. don't know what you're..talking about", Sera stammered, her eyes darting around the room afraid to look into Su Yin's eyes.

"Stop playing dumb.. I saw you coming out of the black Bentley with my own eyes..", Sera breathed a sigh of relief and smiled awkwardly.

"Actually I was with a friend, you're just making a mountain out of a molehill Yinyin let's..", Sera spoke trying to sound confident.

"I saw you kissing the guy!", Su Yin deadpanned interrupting Sera, making the latter freeze in shock.

"You saw it wrong! I was just blowing the dust..", Sera again tried her luck and lied through her teeth.

"Alright..", Su Yin walked out with a blank look on her face shocking Sera who was expecting the interrogation to go on all night. After Su Yin's departure Sera heaved a sigh and slumped on the bed, still feeling uneasy Sera glanced at the closed door once again before closing her eyes shut.

Su Yin was confused, seeing Sera's attitude she was starting to doubt herself.

"Did I really see wrong?", Su Yin muttered under her breath, perplexed.

Lucifer parked his car and walked inside the gates when Ethan emerged out of nowhere spooking the man. He looked tired with messy hair unlike the prim and proper Ethan that Lucifer was familiar with.

"What's wrong with you?.." Lucifer lazily spoke while opening the door to his penthouse.

"Where were you? I was calling you from morning...", Ethan was blabbering when Lucifer entered inside, closing the door on Ethan's face.

Ethan didn't mind his bratty behavior and entered after him, he looked at Lucifer who was plopped on the couch like a sloth. His eyes were drooping with sleep and he looked extremely exhausted rubbing his temples.

"Which mission were you on? I've never seen you this tired before..", Ethan spoke again.

"I'm fine, why are you here?", Lucifer didn't tell Ethan that he didn't sleep since his trip to Z City due to anxiety.

"Ah.. I called you but you didn't pick up, I thought you were injured or something.. Adrian too had no idea and told me that you had something important to attend today..", Ethan spoke while sipping the scotch offered by Lucifer.

"You don't have to worry about me! I'm as fit as a fiddle..", Lucifer gestured with his fingers, looking dumb enough for Ethan to hit Lucifer's shoulder with his fist.

"Ow! Man.. I thought you were worried about me! Look at you trying to hurt me now..", Lucifer dramatically winced feigning pain.

"Just shut up!", Ethan rolled his eyes at Lucifer's childish behavior.

"About Sera's art gallery..", Ethan started when Lucifer interrupted him.

"Sera?", Lucifer raised an eyebrow at Ethan for addressing Sera so casually, with her first name.

"Miss Lu! You've met her before remember..", Ethan didn't see the flicker in his friend's eyes and continued.

"You didn't forget about it, did you?", Lucifer remained calm and closed his eyes after sipping the liquor.

"I was with her today..", Lucifer blurted startling Ethan.

"Who?", Ethan asked with a hint of interest.

"Ser.. Miss Lu, I was with her..", Lucifer's voice was calm, he was leaning on the couch with his eyes closed and Ethan couldn't gauge anything from him.

"Oh..", Ethan managed to utter a monosyllable in his confused state of mind, thousands of thoughts running through his mind.

"We went to.. White Meadows..", Ethan interrupted, his voice was louder than usual.

"What?.. Why..", Lucifer didn't give him a chance to continue and spoke again.

"She liked it.. For her art gallery", Lucifer stopped speaking and sat straight looking straight into Ethan's eyes. His dark eyes were as though boring a hole into Ethan.

"Oh.. Okay I understand. It's your property anyway, I can't.. I have no right to meddle", Ethan spoke before gulping the whole glass in one go.

"Mia would love to see 'White Meadow' turn into something beautiful, just like her dream..", Lucifer spoke with a firmness in his voice, Ethan could only sigh and nod his head.

"Maybe, that's what is better for all of us, everyone!", Ethan said before grabbing his black suit jacket and walking out leaving Lucifer alone in the dead of night.
