Chapter 28: An Invite

"Don't call me that." Leia's face puckered, and she viciously glanced at him. She adjusted herself on the couch and leaned back comfortably.

"I am sorry. What should I dress you as then?" Alex closed the laptop on his desk and fixed his gaze on her. 

"Leia." Leia opened one of her eyes and peeked at him. Her face grimaced in irritation and she leaned her head back on the couch.

"Okay, Miss Leia." Alex smiled at her and darted his eyes around. 'Gosh, this is so awkward. Babysitting a nineteen-year-old,' he shook his head and raised his eyes to glance at her, only to see her staring at him with a menacing grin on her lips "Anything," Alex asked as his eyes blinked in confusion. This girl was creepy. Why was she staring at him like that?

"Nothing." Leia shrugged, and a half-smile formed on her lips. "Are you married?" She crossed her arms and asked with an arched brow.

Alex's eyes fluttered in bewilderment, and he slightly shook his head. "Um... No, I am not." 

"I see..." Leia nodded her head, with a contemplative expression on her face. "Do you perhaps want to be a bachelor?" She sat up straight on the couch and smirked at him.

"No... I am still a fine young man who has lots of time to get married." Alex's brow creased a little bit, and his brow raised in displeasure. What does she mean by "bachelor"? He's still very young, so he has so many years.

Leia gazed at him for a moment and nodded her head while caressing her jaw with her fingers, as though contemplating something. She raised her eyes and glanced at him, then narrowed them. She abruptly stood up from the couch and grabbed a chair to sit in front of his table. She folded her arms and intently gazed into his pitch-black eyes.

"Um...." Alex's brow raised, and he also stared at her. His eyes darted around as he felt uncomfortable from her gaze. "Is there anything I can do for you?" He asked and looked at her in a questioning manner.

"So you're going to be my driver from now on?" Leia lazily blinked her eyes at him and arched her brow.

"Yes." Alex's brow raised, and he nodded at her.

"I see... Well, as my driver, let me tell you my rules-" Leia adjusted closer and her face became expressionless. "-You will take me wherever I ask you to take me without asking any questions. If you ever report anything I do to him, you will lose one of your eyes, and trust me, I mean every single word I just said." A half-grin formed on her lips, and she gazed at him with threatening eyes.

Alex's eyes blinked in confusion, and his brain couldn't help but fall dead. He is being threatened by a nineteen-year-old, a mere nineteen-year-old. She might be the future Luna, but she only gets to threaten him when she becomes one, not now. His face grimaced and his eyes scrutinized her.

Leia smiled at him with a smug look on her face and stood up from the chair. She proceeded to leave, but abruptly turned around and slammed her hand on the desk. "I will take that as a yes." She beamed at him and walked back to the couch, then sat down with crossed legs and leaned back her head.

Seated on a chair inside the meeting room, with his green eyes staring at a beautiful middle-aged lady who was outfitted in sophisticated clothing, Adrik smiled behind the mask covering his face and interlocked his fingers. "Lady Cathryn, it's good to see you."

The beautiful woman by the name of Cathryn gleamed, revealing a bit of her jade white teeth. "It's good to see you too, Mr. Avalanzo." She crossed her legs and lazily blinked her long lashes. "You must be wondering why I visited you today, no? She stared at him and her lips arched up.

Adrik slightly nodded his head with a lazy expression on his face. "Indeed, I do wonder why." He placed his fingers on the chair armrest and playfully tapped on it.

"Well, I won't keep you wondering then. I have a business party that is being held at my house for us the top five richest, so I am here to invite you." Lady Cathryn smiled with a slight grin on her lips. "I wouldn't call it an invitation anyway, since you will have to attend it even if I didn't invite you." 

Adrik halted tapping his fingers on the chair armrest and chuckled at her. "Well, Lady Cathryn, I am grateful for the invite, but I already knew about it, so there was no need for the invitation." He stood up from his chair and adjusted his suit. "If there is nothing else, I would like to excuse myself." He then proceeded to leave the meeting room. However, Lady Cathryn stopped him on his track and handed him a golden card. "You will need this to be able to enter."

"Do I?" Adrik glanced at him with a smug smile on his lips. Lady Cathryn's face turned into a scowl and she scoffed at him in displeasure. "Oh, I forgot, you never needed these things to attend any party you wanted." She forced out a smile at him and placed the card back into her bag. 

Adrik nodded at her and yanked his hands into his pocket, then turned around and left the room. 

Lady Cathryn's face darkened, and she angrily stood up from the chair. "Humph!" She grabbed her bag and walked out of the room in displeasure.

Adrik walked into his office with an expressionless face and walked straight to his desk. A deep sigh left his lips, and he sat down in his chair.

His lazy eyes glanced to the side and fell on Leia, who was asleep with folded hands, crossed legs, and her head leaned back on the couch. A half-smile that didn't reach his eyes formed on his lips, and he glanced to the other side. The half-smile on his face instantly disappeared, replaced by a deep frown. At Alex's desk, was nobody but a vacancy
