Lianne was going to refuse him again when the bouncing boob Amazon woman reached them, practically screeching as she pointed a finger at Lianne, "Just WHO do you think you are?!"
The rejection that had been at the tip of her tongue flew out of her mind immediately upon hearing those words.
She was triggered.
At first, she had not wanted to get involved at all as it was just too troublesome. She owed him nothing at all and she was no Good Samaritan.
Pretend to be someone else's girlfriend?
Puh-lease.
She wasn't even interested in getting a guy, let alone pretend to have one.
Even if the guy was drop-dead gorgeous and everything she liked (physically) in a man.
Not worth it.
Yet, trouble came her way anyway.
She couldn't stand rudeness, more so when she never did anything towards another person.
Be kind to those who are kind to you but always be wary. For those who weren't kind? Retaliate.
Never be a doormat.
That's basically Lianne's life motto.
She never looked for trouble, always avoided it but if it came to her, she wouldn't walk away either.
Lianne looked up at the heaving Amazon Lady, her face unperturbed and unafraid, a slow smile forming on her lips.
She looked at Kai, leaned closer to him with an eyebrow raised. Hardly glancing at the intruder, she put her other hand on the back of his hand.
She started playing with it, by using her finger to just rub all over the back of his hand while asking in a coquettish voice (that made her shudder a bit), "Sweetheart, should you be telling me something?"
Kai was stumped for a while, his brain having stopped working the moment she lay her hands on his.
Then, hearing her words made his heart beat so fast that he had to work hard at keeping his breath even.
He was deliriously happy.
She actually touched him!
She was playing with his hand!
She was willing to help him, even.
At this moment, he felt eternally grateful to the Amazon Lady. She had created this window of opportunity for him, to get closer to his Angel.
Noting her question, and the way she had asked him, he immediately took the cue.
Quickly taking both of his Angel's hands in his, he kissed all her fingers, slowly, as if appeasing her, looking highly apologetic.
He observed from the corner of his eye how she managed to keep a sweet smile on her face despite his bold move. He noted, however, her eyes having a sharp glint in them and if it wasn't for the fact that they were in public, he had no doubt that she'd probably smash his head.
It just made him want to keep on pushing his boundaries though because when else would he ever get such an opportunity?
Still, his rational mind told him that for now, the priority was to get rid of the heaving lady beside them.
"Please do not be angry, my Angel," Kai said softly, looking up at Lianne with the gentlest of gazes.
He reached out and caressed her cheek, "She is the daughter of a business partner, whom I met coincidentally yesterday."
"Really? That's all?" Lianne asked sweetly, tilting her head and getting away from those roving hands.
"Of course," Kai said seriously, putting his hands down and holding on to her hands again, "With you by my side, no other woman would do."
Lianne nearly choked at his shameless words.
Turning towards the lady beside them, Kai said, "Irene, this is my Angel. Sweetheart, this is Irene."
Irene?
Lianne thought back of all the people she had read up on and she frowned a bit, "Irene Adler?"
Irene, the Amazon lady, puffed up her chest, making her ginormous boobs bounce more, "Looks like you know who I am. Yet, I don't know you, so you can't be anyone famous."
Lianne looked at her in amazement.
Irene Adler, self-entitled, spoilt heiress of the Adler Family.
Though not highly intelligent, she wasn't exactly dumb. She did a decent job at the business her father made her run but it was not anything fantastic. If it wasn't for the family's backing and connection, however, the business would have long gone under.
She was also known for her impressive jugs that she would swing about like some weapon, captivating simple-minded people.
Looks like the news on her had been exaggerated to make her look clever and kind. Perhaps, they, too, had been dazzled by those weapons of hers.
Apparently, her target this time was Kai.
Kai then looked back at his Angel, smiling softly as he then reached over to try and caress her cheek again. Lianne just smiled, taking that offending hand and putting it down on her lap, but making sure it was her hand that was resting on her lap.
From Irene's perspective, all of those actions were blatant shows of public display of affection.
What she couldn't see was how Lianne had gripped Kai's hand tightly, squeezing it at a vulnerable spot on his hand. He managed to hold in the pain and continued smiling despite it, which Lianne grudgingly was impressed by.
Kai was becoming more and more fascinated with his Angel.
"Yes, I'm not anyone famous," Lianne said, then smiled sweetly at her, "I don't need to be in order to get what I want."
Putting her hand on Kai's chest, she said, "And obviously, I have what you want. Too bad you can't have him."
Kai ignored the warning she had given earlier with her eyes. He couldn't help but lean in closer, as if wanting to whisper something in her ear.
Feeling her hand on his chest, it was as if she had branded him and he wanted more.
He felt her other hand going on to his thigh and he grinned, emboldened to be more forward due to her actions. His face was so close now that his lips were just about to touch hers when he felt something sharp right at his descendent's home.
He glanced down, seeing a small, ceramic knife positioned right at his crotch, poking it. He could even see the small dent it made in his trousers right there.
Due to their close proximity, no one could see that move and he was surprised. It merely looked like her hand was on his thigh when in reality, it hid that weapon. Just when did she have time to take out the weapon to do that?
At that moment, his admiration for her increased tenfold, and his desire to have her solidified. To make her his.
His wife.
His Angel was beyond perfect.
He had never believed in love at first sight, but now, he could not deny that it had happened to him.
The only other time he ever got interested in someone was so long ago.
He had gone to the Smith Industries HQ and this girl caught his eye. Unfortunately, it was like a passing cloud for he was busy training at that time. He couldn't get distracted nor show any weakness so he didn't try to find out anything about her.
He couldn't anyway. He was too tightly controlled and he could not afford to rock the boat. He quashed his interest and focused entirely on what he had to do.
Still, he often wondered about that girl. Who was she, where was she and what was she doing now.
No other person ever did spark an interest to him … until now.
Without missing a beat, he kissed her nose instead.
Then her forehead, and both cheeks while saying, "My Angel. My sweet, sweet Angel. You know me, right?"
Lianne could hardly move as that Heavenly Face kept getting into her line of vision continuously.
Her mind blanked out and she actually allowed him to kiss her face like that. She could feel his soft lips on her nose, her forehead then her cheeks and she was having extreme difficulty in breathing normally.
When she had held his thigh to position the knife, she could feel the hard muscle underneath and she nearly lost it. She had wanted to feel up his entire leg at that point and she berated herself.
Since when had she ever been so shameless and perverted?!
"Kai? Kai?!" screeched the Amazon Lady, "How … how can you do such indecent things to such a young girl?!"
The screech brought Lianne back to reality. At least the Amazon Lady was good for something.
Lianne felt if she stayed in the presence of this Heavenly Creature any longer, she would end up upon his lap or something.
Never, in her 20 years in this world, had she ever lost control of herself like that. To let herself be following his pace, not hers.
Just what was it about this Heavenly Creature that makes her act so unlike herself?
Lianne knew - she had to nip this in the bud.
