Chapter 109 – Stay Away From Me!
Larry looked at Zee gently, at that moment he didn't expect it to turn out that the more he saw Zee's smile and laugh up close, the more comfortable he felt, it felt like he wanted to continue to be near Zee.
Noticing Larry's gaze, Zee immediately looked at him with a sneer. After that Zee immediately handed the drug to Larry.
"Sit down and treat her!". Zee said curtly.
Larry immediately smiled and then sat near Zee, according to Zee's instructions, Larry gave the drug to the cute little girl.
When he was done, Larry glanced at Zee with a gentle expression.
"Can't you smile when you see me?". Asked Larry.
"I can not…". Zee answered expressionlessly.
Larry took a breath and was confused by Zee's attitude that hated him so much.
"It seems that you hate me a lot, why?". Asked Larry.
Zee immediately looked at Larry with a sharp gaze.
"Best not to come here again!". After saying that, Zee stood up then immediately stepped on her feet to leave.
"Black Lion… You once told me that if I knew you in the dark then I would be able to know you in the light, and now I believe that the one in front of me is you, the Black Lion…". Larry said loudly.
Instantly Zee stopped walking, he then turned to look at Larry again.
"If you know that, why are you still seeing me? Am I not a killing machine that will kill you at any moment?".
Larry smiled widely because his guess was right.
"Zee… Your gaze is truly as beautiful as your name. So, how can I stay away from you while my heart is captivated by you? And I believe you will not possibly kill me!".
Hearing Larry's words, Zee went wrong.
"Don't be so sure!"
Larry was totally confused by Zee's cold attitude towards him and he didn't get along with her sweet words, but he didn't want to give up.
"The harder you push me to leave the stronger my efforts to move forward!" Larry said confidently.
Zee smiled sarcastically at Larry's confident words.
"We are different, so don't create any relationship between us! Now you better go because I have other business!". After that Zee ran and in an instant she had disappeared from Larry's sight.
Even though he was expelled, Larry was happy because at least he finally got the answer to his question, that Zee was the Black Lion.
After that Larry asked the caretaker of the orphanage to bring 20 boxes of food that had been brought in the trunk of his car, after which he left.
Meanwhile, Zee sat in his room staring out the window.
"Larry, I hate you! I really hate you. But, I don't want you to get hurt. So you shouldn't like me because it will hurt you.
We can never be friends either because I've accepted the task of killing one of Alexander's descendants, otherwise my mother will be killed, maybe I won't be able to live a good life because my hands are already covered in blood".
Zee is an accomplice to the enemy Alexander family. Zee also doesn't know who the real leader of Alexander's enemies is because she's never seen his face. She's just hiding behind a mask.
But Zee has little hope that one day she and her mother can be free and go back to living a normal life like before, even though Larry once ruined his life.
Just then, his cell phone rang. Instantly her expression changed upon seeing the caller ID.
"Hello my girl!"
"What are you calling me for?" Zee asked curtly.
"Why are you still busy in that rotten orphanage? How about your assignment?".
"I'm still looking for a way to kill him without leaving a trace, because you know yourself how tight their guard is!".
"Okay I'll give you another week, otherwise you'll find out for yourself!"
After hanging up, Zee looked frustrated. She then held back her tears when she imagined her mother's suffering being held up somewhere.
For 8 years she could only hear her mother's voice and face only from videos, she really missed and wanted to hug her mother, and sometimes she felt life was unfair to her.
"Mother, hold on! I will immediately release you even if my life is at stake!". Zee thought as she clenched her fists.
A few days later.
That morning, Sophia returned to her room after finishing her business in the kitchen.
But, she didn't find Michael in the room so she felt confused.
"Michael where? I have a feeling he was in the room, and I just left him to cook for a while, but why has he suddenly disappeared?". Sophia thought while glancing in various directions.
After thinking, Sophia immediately looked for Michael in all the places in her house, but she couldn't find him either.
Tired, Sophia immediately made a call to Michael's number. But Michael didn't pick it up.
Sophia immediately pouted and felt that Michael was starting to act strange.
Right at that moment, the sound of the bell rang, instantly Sophia came out of the room.
"Who's visiting so early in the morning? Is that Larry? But usually he doesn't have to ring the bell to come in." Sophia thought as she walked towards the door.
After opening the door, Sophia was taken aback when she saw several people carrying boxes of make-up and some pretty dresses.
"Who are you and who are you looking for?" Asked Sophia politely.
"We are from a boutique sent by Mr. Michael to make up with his wife. Are you his wife?".
"Yes it's me". Replied Sophia.
After that, Sophia invited them all to enter her large and luxurious living room.
Living room.
"Please have a seat! I will fetch water for you!". Sophia said.
"No need!". They were surprised that Sophia didn't ask the maid to bring them a drink.
"It's okay! In this house there is no servant so I will take it for you. So, wait a minute!". After that, Sophia immediately went to the kitchen.
Meanwhile, they all looked at the spacious and luxurious living room with amazement.
"Wow.. This house is really big, and the living room is so luxurious. It deserves to be the house of the richest person…".
"Sit down! Don't be like that because it's bad for the host to know". Said their leader who felt uncomfortable hearing all of their words.
"But boss, is that really Mr. Michael's wife? Why does she look so simple and not like a rich man's wife?".
"Don't talk anymore later she will hear and be offended, do you want to be angry by Mr. Michael?". Said the boss.
Immediately they fell silent because of fear.
"It's okay! She's right! I really love simplicity more, because my husband loves me regardless of my appearance, so I'm comfortable wanting to look as I like. Hehehe..". Said Sophia who was suddenly among them.
"Wow … So sweet, I want to get a husband like that. May I ask?".
"Please!". Sophia sat quietly while looking at the girl who was about to ask her.
"Look, doesn't Mr. Michael seem so cold and stiff, he doesn't talk much either. So aren't you tired of people who aren't romantic like Mr. Michael?".
Sophia smiled after hearing the girl's question.
"Who says my husband is not romantic? To me he is the most romantic person in the world…". Replied Sophia proudly.
Hearing Sophia's answer, everyone in the room was stunned because they didn't think that Mr. Michael could be romantic.
After the small talk, one of them gave a letter to Sophia.
Instantly, Sophia took it and read the letter.
"Honey, I'm sorry I left without saying goodbye! I sent someone to help you do your makeup. In two hours a car will pick you up. So dress up pretty! I love you!".
After Sophia read the letter, Sophia immediately smiled.
Even though she didn't know what event would be happening so Michael asked her to put on makeup, she still obeyed Michael's orders without asking too many questions.
"We can start now!" Sophia said with a smile.
They all nodded and started their work.
A few moments later.
After taking hours, Sophia finally finished dressing.
Sophia is wearing a bone white dress with diamond jewelry on her wrist. Sophia had changed in an instant.
"Oh God… Is it me?". Sophia thought as she looked at herself from the mirror.
"You are very beautiful, I'm sure Mr. Michael will immediately fall in love when he sees you".
"You are so beautiful like an angel in that white dress, no wonder Mr. Michael loves you so much".
"I'm beautiful because I'm a woman and not a man. Hahahaha ..". Sophia responded to all of their compliments with her jokes to relieve the tension.
