Chapter 88 - The Scary Zhen-Zhen
Then the moment Tristan averted his gaze at the front door, he saw her… it was Zhen-Zhen, looking at him with her blazing red eyes. Yes it was red… not blue.
"Z-Zhen…" Tristan stuttered. He was really scared to death as of this moment
'Holy sh*t! What is she doing here? How did she know I am here?...and her eyes… what happened to her blue eyes?'
Tristan froze in his spot. He didn't know what to do. Zhen-Zhen caught him. He was doomed! He felt like death came knocking on his door right now. His body began to sweat profusely… cold sweats!
"Who are you?" Flora asked Zhen-Zhen after seeing her.
When she saw her face, Flora gasped in surprise while covering her mouth using her hands. 'Oh my Gosh! Why is she looking like that?! Her eyes...are so creepy.'
"Damn! You broke my door!" Flora exclaimed.
But Zhen-Zhen just ignored her. Her attention was focused on Tristan who looked like a frozen statue now. He couldn't speak. His mind stopped functioning and he was tongue-tied.
"Tristan. You betray me! I hate you!" Zhen-Zhen said with her stern cold voice.
Tristan began to panic. This was the first time he saw her getting mad. Her voice was cold and frightening, enough to send shivers through his spine.
"I-I…" Tristan wanted to speak but the words were stuck in his throat.
"Hey, I am talking to you?! How dare you enter my house. Get out now or else I will call the security guards of this building to throw you out!" Flora threatened Zhen-Zhen.
That's the time Zhen-Zhen paid attention to her. Suddenly, Zhen-Zhen released a fireball in her hand. Tristan and Flora were utterly shocked when they saw it.
"Zhen-Zhen…" Tristan called her name out anxiously.
But Zhen-Zhen just ignored Tristan as she was now looking daggers at Flora. Seeing her gaze, Flora cowered in fear. "W-What are you?? Oh my gosh… are you a ghost??? A witch?!"
Zhen-Zhen's lips curled up into an evil smile. "A demon god's daughter." Zhen-Zhen said before throwing the fireball at Flora's direction.
"Zhen-Zhen Noooooo!!!" Tristan exclaimed in horror after witnessing that scene.
"Aaaaah!" Flora's scream echoed in the entire house as her body was engulfed by blazing fire.
"Tristan… you are mine. Everyone who will try to kiss or touch you. They will die in my hands." Zhen-Zhen said to him coldly.
"Noooooo!"
"Tristan! Tristan! Wake up!" Matthew shook his body.
Tristan plunged his eyes open. He was catching his breath the moment he woke up. His heart was still racing rapidly inside his chest. His body was covered by cold sweats.
Matthew heaved a sigh of relief when Tristan finally woke up. "I guess you were dreaming… It must be a nightmare. Are you okay?"
Tristan's mind was still hazy. "It was just a dream. Oh gosh. Thank God… it was just a dream."
"Yeah, luckily I check on you. It's already noon time. Get up and let's have lunch. Then tell me what happened in your dream. You looked really scared. Hehe" Matthew said, teasing Tristan.
Tristan just shook his head. "Okay, I will just freshen up."
He got off the bed and went to the washroom. He watched his reflection in the wide mirror.
"Damn Nightmare! It felt so real. I thought I'm gonna die in Zhen-Zhen's hands too. She's really scary. She put Flora's body on fire in that dream." Tristan mumbled to himself, clutching his chest.
"Jeez… Is this a warning? I think meeting Flora is a very bad idea. I have to reject her. Argh! I couldn't believe it. Why Zhen-Zhen became so scary like that!!!" Tristan tugged his hair tightly.
After leaving the washroom, Tristan immediately sent a message to Flora, rejecting her invitation. He just made up some excuses. He didn't want his nightmare to become real.
He couldn't accept the fact that Zhen-Zhen suddenly turned evil. His sweet and innocent Zhen-Zhen suddenly became a scary creature. He didn't want that to happen.
He couldn't bear to see her getting mad at him as well. Tristan could feel her fury and rage when Zhen-Zhen told him those words.
"Tristan. You betray me! I hate you!"
Those words kept replaying in his mind right now. His heart felt uneasy. Now he was scared.
'What I'm gonna do now? What if Zhen-Zhen learned about my bad reputation with women… my various relationships with my flings? Will she hate me?'
Tristan felt very troubled and bothered by that thought. He didn't want Zhen-Zhen to find out or else he would also lose her trust… not only her trust… he was afraid to lose her.
Soon, Tristan came out of his private room. He was surprised to see the twins inside his office, sitting on the couch together with Matthew.
"Jake? Blake? Why are you two here?" Tristan asked them.
"Yow!" Jake stood up and dashed towards Tristan, giving him a hug.
"We are here to check on our dearest cousin whose video became viral. Hahaha." Jake teased him, patting Tristan's back.
"How are you? I heard that Grandpa Lu and Hannah's parents put you in a hot seat yesterday." Blake asked him worriedly.
Tristan chuckled. "Don't worry. I'm just fine."
"I want to beat those two evil cousins of ours! They played so dirty!" Jake said angrily, folding his hands into fists.
"Don't mind them. Just ignore. Karma is coming their way. Thanks to them I will get my one month vacation." Tristan cheerfully informed them.
"Whoa? Is that true?" Jake asked him.
It was Matthew who answered him. "Chairman Lu already approved his leave. He will be free from this office starting tomorrow."
"That's awesome! Why don't we hang out? Let's do a one week out of town trip. We are also free." Blake suggested.
Tristan shook his head "Sorry Bro… I have to pass for now. I will be busy starting tomorrow."
The twins frowned upon hearing that. "Are you kidding us? I thought you were free from work now? Busy for what?"
Tristan didn't answer them. He just merely smiled at them… it was a meaningful smile. Then he marched out of his office without waiting for the three men, saying: "I'm hungry. Let's eat!"
