Chereads / Fate's exchange / Chapter 12 - Basement

Chapter 12 - Basement

Adriana scoffed immediately she spotted the girl. "I will kill you" Adriana yelled making sure Vanessa heard her who turned to look at her almost immediately and their eyes met.

She was about to run to where Vanessa was but only to be stopped as someone pulled her clothes from the back which left her feets glued on the floor to have her sharply turn her head to look at Chris who looked right back at her.

"What do you think you are doing?" Adriana heard him ask with a raised eyebrow and she glared at him.

"I should be asking you," Adriana said with an irritated tone. She didn't want that sly fox to run away and yet this jerk head was trying to stop her.

"Is that any way to speak to your boss? You get one strike for talking back at me" Chris said and Adriana could only grit her teeth in frustration.

"You can't restrict my movements, leave me" Adriana deadpanned to have Chris lips twitch. "Two strikes. One more and you are in for a serious punishment" stated Chris with a serious look but Adriana was too focused on getting a hold of Vanessa to even care about what he was saying.

He was still holding the hem of her dress and being cautious so that her dress won't tear right in front of anyone, she didn't move more than she did now. "When I collected this job, Mrs Taylor didn't tell me I won't be allowed to move around however I want," Adriana said subtly, glaring at him. She could only hope he would release her and stop pestering her.

What was his deal anyways!

"Look at you talking after getting an advance payment, this is why we don't give advance payment because after we do they start turning rebellious" Chris said a smile going to play on his lips and Adriana was sure this guy would not miss an opportunity of using the advance payment thing on her and the only thing she could do right now was stare at him.

She watched the sly fox secretly get away with Rose who hadn't bothered sparing her a glance but she knew it was probably because she didn't know it was her. Once Chris had seen Vanessa had gotten away, he finally let go of her cloth to have Adriana fully face him the glare on her face not lowering and she saw Chris lean over which made her step back a little.

She watched him bring his hand forward making her wonder what he was planning to do as her line of sight followed his hand movements. "You troublesome girl" he said and he flicked her forehead making her slightly flinch.

"You are abusing me" Adriana said bluntly with a frown on her face and she saw the boy smile while his tongue ran over his teeth.

"Am I now?" Came his reply before standing up straight and walking ahead of her while Adriana followed closely behind him her eyes momentarily falling on his long legs that moved way too faster than her as she was finding it hard to keep up with him. Or was she the short one?

While they were still walking, Adriana noticed he passed through many corridors and they still didn't reach where they were going. Was he even going to class? If he was, she couldn't possibly follow him inside could she?

""Are you going to take me to your class?" Adriana questioned, unsure if it was allowed. BARON was a weird school and everyone could agree to that. "Why would I do that? '' came his curt reply, making Adriana roll her eyes.

She should have just kept quiet and only followed him but her legs were already starting to hurt, and not to mention, she was in the body of a weakling.

They took a turn before finally walking down to something which looked like a basement to her but seeing as the place shone lightly and the way it looked more attractive than a basement,it would be lame to call it such instead she would just give it a name, liar.

Adriana paused for sec wondering why he was taking her to a place like this and upon realization, Adriana's feet came to a quick halt to have the person she had been following also stop walking noticing he didn't hear any more footsteps behind him as his eyebrows raised at her.

"Wh...where are you taking me…you are not planning to kill me and use me for some sort of ritual are you?" Adriana's words left her mouth like a free bird that had been dying to let loose. She didn't trust anyone anymore, not after what the stupid wench had done to her. If her body could be swapped so easily then there was no telling what anyone could do.

Chris' eyes narrowed down on her. What an outrageous thought! "There's nothing I would even do with you so don't stress yourself"

Chris said as he gestured for her to come over but Adriana was reluctant but after a while she decided that they were in school and he couldn't possibly try anything with her unless.....

Adriana quickly discarded the thought as she went ahead to stand beside him but she received a glare instead to have her quickly take a step backwards as they both then continued walking with her at the back and Chris walking in the front.

Once they got down fully, everything came into full view and even Adriana couldn't help but gape at the beautiful lair that looked like a high budget bar.

The school had this??

She looked at the fancy looking sofa's that occupied the space in there and looking a little more, she noticed another staircase up making her wonder if it was leading to a room. 

She noticed the snooker game staying at a side and the liquor counter full of many drinks and she would have screamed to ask if this was even a basement but before any words could leave her mouth,

she saw two boys walking down from the stairs, one who had dark hair with touches of blue while the other one was just dark and as they both came into view, their eyes fell on her.

The two boys looked at each other before giving Chris a look as they now came to stand before the two who just came in.

"We've been waiting for you....." The boy with the dark hair was the one who spoke before his eyes finally landed on Adriana who stared back.

"What is she doing here" the dark haired boy completed his words and after looking at her for a good amount of seconds took his gaze away from her as he now directed it to Chris with a raised eyebrow.

"She's my new PA" grinned Chris with a slightly mischievous tone but only Adriana could know what was hidden behind his words.

"Since when did you become a baby that they need to babysit" it was the other one who spoke this time.

"Since now. Just take it as a reward for leaving a suspicious mark on the full moon day zander" Chris said with a nonchalant tone and Adriana saw how the expression of the two boys changed as if they had understood what he meant but Adriana couldn't grasp her hand around anything he said.

"Sometimes I need a Mrs Taylor in my life" chuckled the dark haired boy and while no one discussed more about her, she soon found the three of them leave her side. While one went to the liquor side the other two had their hands grabbing the stick of the game.

Not knowing what else to do, Adriana decided to sit on the couch present but before she could even get the chance to sit, she heard that deep grumpy voice, "And who asked you to sit" Chris said while taking a sip of the wine he had poured into a glass.

Adriana didn't mind him but sat anyway, he couldn't possibly punish her for wanting to sit down. "Abuser" Adriana only muttered under her breath not daring to tell it to his face already knowing his type of temper.

Chris went ahead to join the other two as he also took a stick leaving Adriana with nothing to do while she just looked at them.

With her eyes kept darting back and forth, she took her time to look at the trio and she had almost complimented them of being the best three hottest trio there ever was until she heard footsteps behind her and on turning back, her mouth was left hanging open when she saw a girl enter.

Another fine looking bitch in the group?!
