She wanted to spit at the woman in front of her seeing how timid she was. However, she had to calm down for the sake of her plan.
"Well, I am Dracon my lady," Erica said trying as hard as possible not to throw up because of how she was forced to speak.
Lena looked down at her nails while she said, "Who in this country doesn't know you Dracon?"
Erica felt goosebumps at how she said her male name.
'Mmmhph acting all shy when you planned to trap me already, what's up with women these days? Who the hell told them that acting all shy and weak entices a man? Oooh my, only if they knew how stupid the white lotus act actually was. Erica couldn't help but muse internally.
"Oooh my, beautiful lady is shy, well I would not mind if you were to give out this expression a thousand times over, because it's making my body boil," leaning back on her chair Erica said again," to tell you the truth, I have never felt what I am feeling for you right now with anyone before," Erica confessed while staring straight into Lena's eyes to see what her reaction would be. She liked all the reactions she received. She didn't know it was a fun way to tease someone.
Is this how I looked back then? Is that why he would find amusement in teasing me?
Keep it together Erica! Wake up! It's been fifteen years and he probably doesn't even remember your name. Most importantly, he is one of your greatest enemies, and he is the reason why you can never have the joy of holding your child! '
She smiled and thought, 'I wonder what I was thinking, or is it that he is now in the same country as me? I refuse to accept that I still have feelings for him!' Yes, that must be it, it's because he is now back in the country, yes that must be it! Erica assured herself a couple of times before she came back to her senses.
Lena looked deeply into Erica's eyes as if searching for the seriousness of the matter. This was to confirm that what she had just heard was no mere joke but the truth and that Erica meant it.
Erica returned a determined stare, as if challenging her to think otherwise.
Her entire face was crimson red when she finally broke the stare.
' Ooh goodness, she can change colours! ' Erica thought to herself.
The room became silent all of a sudden, each occupied in a sea of thoughts.
Finally, when Lena broke the silence she asked in a low voice, "what..what.t do you mean Dracon, I don't get..get what you're saying."
'Aaah, Women seriously you don't understand what I am saying, are you fuckin' serious you pretentious bitch! It's obvious that you understand what I mean. Aaah, why are women so difficult to deal with? Erica lamented in her head. 'She knows what I mean, but she wants to hear it from me, okay Erica tell her,' Erica lamented in her head.
Taking Lena's hand in hers she circled her thumb on her soft skin, and gently and slowly brought Lena's hand on her lips and gave it a peck, then she said," I want you, Lena, me and you in a relationship together as lovers are what I want."
Erica looked at Lena hopeful after her supposed confession and display of affection. She was fully aware that even if she did not pull that begging eye stance, she would accept her proposal. But just to be sure of her answer, she had to play that card.
Lena accepted hurriedly, afraid that the most powerful man would change his mind. "I accept!"
"Aye, just like that, aren't you going to question me, like if I am honest or serious or something like that?' Erica inquired.
' Seriously this woman, if she was intending to put up an act at least do it till the end.'
What Erica did not know was that even if it were another woman out there no one would think twice before accepting her proposal.
Like seriously who wouldn't?
What woman in her right mind would reject the proposal of the most powerful man in the world? It is life insurance for wealth. If she did not accept it she would be damned.
Erica cleared her voice and then said, "Well, darling, I guess you're mine now."
Erica winked at Lena, after which she pulled out a pack of cigarettes and took one. She put it on her lips, and gestured for Lena to take the lighter provided by the hotel on the table and light the cigarette for her.
Lena bent forward to retrieve the lighter from the table. She moved closer to light the cigarette for Erica, while in the process exposing her cleavage which was fully showing in the dress she was wearing. This was in the view of Erica.
This disgusted Erica even more which made her scrunch up her face which this time did not remain unnoticed by Lena.
" Wha.. what's wrong?" Lena asked.
She was scared she had done something wrong. She needed the man in front of her to like her. Now more than ever she wished she knew her mistake. She was scared that Erica would retract her proposal.
She stared into space while her face stated the obvious. She was greatly displeased, which further heightened Lena's anxiety.
Finally, when Lena was about to lose it because of the oppressing aura surrounding the place, Erica decided to speak, " It's just that I just hate to see my things exposed for other people's view, and in that dress, I just do not know how many people have seen what's supposed to be mine now, but if you are used to it you can just continue dressing however you would like, but I would love it if you were to dress in more closing clothes and not this revealing my love, hehe! What am I even blabbering about? What you wear is your choice. I have no say in it,"
Tahiti!!! This Erica is so conniving, saying Lena can dress however she likes, and then using the love card to make Lena do what she wants.
Seriously she was not even doing this because she wanted Lena to look good, but instead because she did not want to go through the torture of having to see Lena's exposed body.
"It's no problem honey! I would do exactly as you wish, and I understand you are only concerned about what's yours, of course, any man would want to keep what's his to his possession only," Lena said with her head hanging low, now she was glowing red.
" What did you just call me? mmmh, call me that again I did not quite hear you right," Erica said with a playful grin while lifting Lena's chin so she would be looking straight at her tomato face.
Lena could only let out a soft reply that could barely be heard, but due to several years of intensive training, Erica heard every word clearly. "Ho... ho... honey?" It was more like a question than an answer.
