The hidden target in an otome game

Chapter 4 (escape)

"umm but only a little bit, so have you heard of a cellphone?" Lucien looks at you with a puzzled expression. "A cellphone? No, I've never heard of that before. Is it some sort of magical device from your world?" "This going to a lot fun" (feel the pain of an engineering student friend!)

You both start going back and fourth, talking a bunch about it, how it is used and how it is made. Lucien listens intently as you begin to describe in detail what a cellphone is and how it's used in your world. His eyes widen in disbelief at the concept of something so small, but with so much power.

"No kidding... That's incredible. A device that can send messages and make calls from anywhere in the world? And it's a small enough to fit in your pocket? That's mind-boggling." You reply with a casual tone "I know right!"

"You're quite passionate about these cellphones, aren't you?" He said still with excitement but some composure in his tone. "Nah, I watched a documentary of cellphones and remember a bunch about it" in a chill but a bit annoyed voice

"you know I may not be to see the exact time but it looks like it is pretty late you should getting going" you said in a half formal half annoyed and a tad bit silly.

Lucien seems amused by your change of tone, going from a friendly and casual conversation to a more formal and stern one. "Oh, do you want me to go now, darling? You're not tired of my presence already, are you?"

"No, but would you get out" you said with that absolute smiling face at him, that it completely didn't match the words you were saying. :D Lucien looks at you with an amused expression, clearly finding your expression and the contrast of your words delightful.

"Oh really now? You're telling me, in that adorable face of yours, that you want me to leave? You sure about that child?" (YES!!!! HECK YEAH!!!) "yup!" you grab his hand and pull him in front of the door. Lucien feigns hurt by your words, his hand dramatically pressing against his chest.

"You wound me. You're kicking me out already? I thought we were having such a lovely conversation." (NoOoOo WE weRe NoT!) you clenched the book you were holding "here" you hand him the book, opened the door and looked back at him, "see ya!" You walked through the door and locked it in the other side then ran for an exit.

Lucien watches as you the door on him, a small,creepy smile curled up on his face.

"You're in quite a hurry to get rid of me, aren't you, darling? And here I thought we were having a pleasant conversation. But I suppose I can't blame you for wanting some solitude. It can be quite exhausting dealing with me, after all. But I have no doubt that we'll cross paths again soon."

You scan the halls, searching for any indication of an exit. The doors are all have weird, the wallpaper and carpet look expensive. The halls are twisting and turning, and every corner looks different, making it annoying it deal with.

You look around and find a door that said "portal room" You push against the door, the sound of hinges creaking echoing through the halls. The door slowly opens, revealing a dimly lit stairwell on the other side. A cool draft of air comes through the open doorway.

You hear walking, dreadful walking. "Damn it.." you mutter to yourself and you quickly look around at all the portal to choose the safest one. You choose a random one run to it, the door to the portal opens and in comes the old man.

You were already at the portal and look at him, "see ya~" you say with a smirk and jump through the portal, back first and stuck your middle finger at him, though he might not know what it means since this was a different world.
