"What?", asked Achilles, who had eyes only for Athena.
"You like that girl?", asked Adrian, amused ,"I thought you were dreadful at matters related to girls ".
"I am still dreadful, but that does not mean that I can't have a go", said Achilles.
"Go on", said Adrian, and he turned back to Lucy.
However, he recieved a blow as he saw a very gruesome ( at least in his opinion) young bloke approach her. He looked dull and drunken , and had red spots on both cheeks. Lucy did not notice as she bumped right into him. Apparently, the man was pleased and he helped Lucy come back to her normal.
Adrian was aghast as he saw him talking perhaps flirting ( according to Adrian) with Lucy. Even she was smiling at him, talking in a pleasant voice.
He felt a huge beast inside him, and a surge of anger 🤬 fill inside him. He felt his head grow hot and his hand stand up in alarm. He was positively quivering with jealousy ( although he did not knew ) when Hailey approached him. She was wearing a black mini skirt and a matching crop top , and was looking quite pretty and chic.
"What happened to you , Adrian?", she asked affectionately.
"Nothing.....who is that person?", he spat out.
"He... that's my college friend Chris . He had to join me for an assignment...so, I invited him for the party as well", she said.
"First we have to keep George's friends in the house and now we have to endure your friends as well?", he asked , muttering furiously.
Hailey blushed and looked away and pretending ignore.
"What is his age, by the way?", he shot at her.
"He is about twenty five years, what is the matter?", she asked.
"I will see you later", he said, as he rushed towards the man and Lucy who was now kissing her hand. He pushed him away hardly and sent him rolling towards one of the pillars. The man undoubtedly was hurt but tried to keep his calm in front of Lucy, who couldn't care any less.
"Ah, you're her husband, aren't you? You are very lucky to have such a pretty little wife , very lucky indeed", said the man.
This was more than Adrian could stand. He felt fury slash inside him like a sword and burn him and he glowered on the man, who recoiled under his cowering presence.
"Stay away from my wife, won't you?", he asked hatred and anger pronounced in each and every word ," Because if I see you anyway near her again, I promise that it will be the last thing you ever do".
Lucy did not know what was going on. She could not understand the reason why he was behaving so weirdly.
"Come with me", said Adrian, as he grasped her unnaturally strong hand and steered her towards a room.
Lucy, who was the mafia queen, and possessed great strength and flexibility but at that moment even she could not prevent or oppose Adrian as he pulled her into a room .
She suddenly grew afraid as she saw a very dangerous looking Adrian in front of her in a locked room .
