For The Stars Have Sinned (Complete)

Chapter 10

Knowing him

I pursed my lips and took a step back to Larica’s shipyard just a few meters away from the private dock. Lyndon was just following behind and I had no plans to talk to him. I was thankful that he was silent even though it was awkward.

When the wind blew, I hugged myself. The coolness of the breeze at dusk is not for nothing, but he placed a warm jacket around my shoulder and my teeth stopped chattering instantly. I simply turned to the side and saw the side view of his face.

The sun was setting in the west and the soft rays touched the tip of his nose. From the angle I could see, it was as if the dim rays of the sun painted Lyndon’s face, tracing his side profile which made him look ethereal.

I looked away and sighed. He has the looks but the attitude… err never mind.

A few minutes later, I took a step into the shipyard. Here is the place where ships used for sailing are repaired.

It was one of Larica Shipment’s properties and it is not far from the shipping port where the center of business is. I didn’t pay attention to the looks of some of Papa’s employees who kept on pulling something while looking in my direction from time to time. They knew me because I always walk past the area whenever I go to the dock, and it was their first time seeing me with a man. Tch. Good thing that they kept their mouths shut or else…

I was surprised when Lyndon suddenly bid goodbye to buy something in Emal which is nearby. He said he was going to buy me new clothes. I raised my brow at him. “What are you up to?” I asked but he didn’t answer me and immediately turned his back on me. I just looked at his back going away with a frown.

It was surprising he took initiative. Our first meeting was not that pleasant so why would he do that?

Bah. If he wants to buy, then buy. Why am I thinking about the motive of that man when there are clothes in Papa’s office? I shrugged my shoulders. It’s up to him.

I hurried to Papa’s office and found him busy reading contracts. Fortunately, my clothes have dried a little earlier so the sea water is no longer dripping on the floor. Papa turned to me and raised his eyebrows. “You dived? The water at the pier is unhealthy,” he said.

My lips twitched and I laughed wryly. “No, Pa. I just fell.”

“Take a shower first and change. You probably have clothes on the other side,” he said and turned to the papers again.

I folded my arms. “Pa, do you know Engineer Lyndon? He was waiting here earlier but I didn’t send him out because he told me he’s your business partner.”

He paused for a moment before reaching for a personalized pen and signing the contract. “Mmm. Where is he now?”

“Buy clothes at Emal.”

“Why buy more? You have a lot of clothes next room.”

I snorted. I knew that he knew why Lyndon would buy clothes.
