"oh? is that so" Leo laughed sounding a little bit sarcastic, Kahlan's face said it all. He was able to easily decipher whatever she was thinking by just looking at her face, she wasn't one to hide her emotions at all and that made her cute and easy to sway. Leo was very satisfied with the person of Kahlan so much so that he actually thought of keeping her as a mistress, he loved being in control. He always sees himself as the person playing a chess game while others are his pawn. Placing the cup of coffee on the table, he slowly laid back on his chair scrutinizing Kahlan's face. "You look beautiful Kay" he said, waiting to see her reaction. "ah?" Kahlan's eyes was wide, with an endearing smile she blushed and said "thank you" Leo's heart shook, he had to be honest. Kahlan was truly an extraordinarily beautiful, gorgeous and enchanting woman. He enjoyed being with her and looking at her but felt bored because she was so well behaved and he was looking for excitement. He just wanted to finish his aim of getting close to her and probably in the business of doing so get to enjoy this woman in bed. He grinned at the thought of it.
"why aren't you taking your coffee though" he seemed to ask casually but he had noticed earlier that Kahlan's face was pale and she looked unwell. Even when he ordered both their coffees, he noticed a slight aversion to it and paranoia on her face when he glanced at her but who was he. A bored Third generation master that couldn't wait to grab popcorn to watch a show when it presented itself.
Kahlan's face turned even paler, she picked the glass of iced coffee slowly bringing it to her lips, she took a sip and dropped it back on the table revealing a weird smile. "why? you don't like the coffee" Leo asked again looking concerned but was actually laughing inside. Kahlan panicked, "no no I love it see, I'm drinking it" Kahlan drank almost the whole glass of coffee as if she was drinking poison. Leo was enjoying what he was seeing and looking satisfied he smiled saying "good". That moment Kahlan's face was white as sheet, she secretly clutched her stomach under the table in pain but tried as much as possible not to show it on her face. She really didn't want to make Leo feel bad at all. Leo kept on bringing up random topics looking as if he didn't notice anything.
Kahlan suddenly stood up with a smile "I want to use the bathroom Leo, I will be back" she couldn't handle the pain anymore. "Alright" Walking towards the bathroom she felt a piercing gaze on her but she didn't mind it and rushed to the bathroom.
Inside the ladies bathroom Kahlan cried in pain, frowning she clutched her Tommy and squatted hoping to stop the pain even if it's for a moment. She raised her hand to take a look at the time on her watch, seeing she was already running late to work but she couldn't go in this condition, she searched her bag for her phone. She opened her phone and saw notifications of missed calls from both Marcello and Mia. She dialed Mia's number, it rang many times and then went to voicemail. Mia must still be very upset with her, she then tried dialling Marcello's number. "Ma'am? are you okay in there" before the call got through she heard a voice outside in the ladies bathroom calling out to her.
