âWhat now, William? She won't sign the papers since you two had a fight. âHelene complained as she angrily sat on the couch.
William sighed and sat next to her, placing a hand on her back in an attempt to comfort her.
âI will convince her, darling. Don't worry about it. âWilliam said softly.
Helene looked at him and took a deep breath.
âThis fucking moron can't do a simple thing, useless. I want my hands on this mansion right now. But there is something else... my sister seems strange. I better check what she's up to and maybe ruin it for her. â Helene though and a sinistre smile crept on her lips.
âWhat's on your mind? âWilliam asked, noticing her smile.
âOh, nothing. I'll just trust that you can solve this matter quick, dear. âHelene cooed, pulling William closer by his tie, kissing him.
Zhia Xiang hummed as she walked down the hallway, her heels echoing loud.
âSomeone seems in a good mood today. âEdric said looking at Zhia Xiang with a charming smile plastered on his face.
Zhia Xiang stopped in front of him and nodded her head.
âSir Edric... do you think I can stay at your place for the night? âZhia Xiang asked smiling, her eyes shining brightly.
She was eager for the final play and barely could keep from dancing around.
âOh? I may need a little bit more convincing. âEdric said smirking, curious of what she'll do to convince him.
Zhia Xiang raised an eyebrow.
âOh? ~â She cooed and placed a hand on his chest.
âI know sir Edric is a very good man that would help a helpless lady in need. âZhia Xiang spoke in a seductive manner, drawing circles with her index on his chest, smiling sweetly.
Edric felt his blood boil inside his veins and he let a low laugh escape his mouth.
âIs this the game you're planning on playing? Lady Cassandra, you're far from a helpless woman. âEdric spoke catching her hand and pulling her close, their chests meeting.
Zhia Xiang looking into his eyes, keeping a smile on her face.
âWhat does sir Edric sees me as then? â she whispered.
Edric placed a hand on her back, towering over her.
âA wolf in sheep clothing. â He replied, his lips a few inches apart from hers.
âHm? Does sir Edric prefers the wolf or the sheep? â
âThe wolf. âEdric replied, pressing his lips against hers.
As wanted, Zhia Xiang is now in Edric's mansion.
âMake yourself comfortable. âEdric said taking her coat and passing it to the maid.
âWill do. âZhia Xiang replied looking around.
âHe has good tastes to be honest. I could live in such a mansion. âZhia Xiang praised in her mind, following Edric to the living room.
âDo you plan on having fun with him, subject #654? âagent 0 asked as it floated next to Zhia Xiang's head.
âMaybe, why not? â Zhia Xiang replied.
âHow long do you plan on staying in this universe? â
âI'm not sure, let's relax for now and see if Helene takes the bait.âZhia Xiang replied.
âWhat would the lady like to drink? â the maid asked, bowing her head.
âDo you have cherry liquor? âZhia Xiang asked smiling at the maid.
âWe do. â the maid replied.
âI'll take that, please. âZhia Xiang replied.
âRight away. What would master like to have? â the maid asked, slightly turning her body towards Edric.
âThe usual. âEdric replied.
The maid bowed her head and left the large room, rushing to fetch the drinks.
âYou have a beautiful house. âZhia Xiang praised as she admired the decorations.
âYou know what will make it better? âEdric asked as he slowly got closer to Zhia Xiang.
Zhia Xiang turned her head to face him and smiled, replying:
âSurprise me. â
âHaving you here. âEdric replied taking Zhia Xiang's hand in his. He then slowly leaned on and kissed her hand.
âSir Edric is quite a romantic. âZhia Xiang replied.
The door opened, the maid from earlier quietly entering the room. She placed the drinks on the coffee table that was in front of the couch and left, not taking her eyes from the ground.
âIt's because of you. You have something to you that makes a man ignite. âEdric replied, keeping eye contact.
Zhia Xiang smiled and took the glass in her hand, sipping from it.
âI heard sir Edric is good at chess. Is that right? â
âYes. Are you interested in playing? â
âYes. I would love to. â
âMollie, get the chess board here. âEdric ordered.
âRight away, master. â the maid replied and exited the room once again.
Zhia Xiang played with her glass, watching the liquor move freely in her glass.
âI wonder what dear Will is doing now that I'm nowhere to be seen. Perhaps that idiot woman found out already about me and Edric? I wonder what's her next move, let me guess, trying to get in touch with Edric to see if she can seduce him? âZhia Xiang lost herself in her thoughts, which made the man next to her upset.
Her chin was caught by his fingers and raised to meet his eyes.
âIt's quite rude to think about someone else while you're with me.âEdric said.
Zhia Xiang noticed the chess board and wondered when did it arrived.
âWho's on your mind? âEdric added.
âNo one important. âZhia Xiang replied.
âNo one important, you say? The smile you showed earlier didn't seemed like you were thinking about a nobody. âEdric said, his breath hitting her lips.
âWhy so angry, sir Edric? Let's start our chess game. âZhia Xiang said pointing with her eyes to the table.
âLet's make the game more interesting, shall we? âEdric said and a evil smirk appeared on his lips.
âWhat do you have in mind? âZhia Xiang asked.
âEach time a piece is taken out, the owner of the piece removes an item of clothing. âEdric replied, watching her reaction with interest.
Zhia Xiang was surprised by his suggestion,but the surprise quickly turned into laughter.
âAlright, I accept. â she replied and the two shook hands.
