The Ice Queen's Tragedy (PART ONE)

CHAPTER 27: Anime Convention

Is that a sarcastic remark? "You...you're not so bad yourself."

Even though she was alone, she knew that Yoh is watching her somewhere. She needed to be careful of her words else her brother would be raining threats at Nathaniel again.

He chuckled. "Thanks. Shall we?" He gestured the car.

She raised a brow. "Your car?"

"Yep,"

"And you're driving? Do you even have a license to drive?"

"Err...no. But my driver does so it's safe. Hahaha. Now, shall we?"

She looked to the driver seat and saw a middle age man. He greeted her with a salute.

She nodded in respect and then she moved to open the door handle when Nathaniel grabbed it first.

He gestured his hands inside and he grinned. "After you, milady."

His hand at the small of her back is sending shiver on her spine.

Once she took her seat, she half expected Nathaniel to take the front seat. But he nudged her to scoot before sitting next to her.

His usual smell of chocolatey musk is tickling her nose. It was smooth, not too feisty like the other perfumes.

If she could catch the smell and trap it into something, she would.

She was overwhelmed with the smell, thinking that she would be satisfied without doing anything besides smelling him.

Now, she was turning into a maniac.

"Natatandaan niyo pa po yung daan padiretchong SMX?" She turned to Nathaniel. He was asking the driver.

"Hindi ba't malapit lang yun sa MOA, Miel?"

He nodded. "Dun tayo pupunta, manong Oscar."

The driver started the engine. Seconds later, they were now moving.

The whole journey was filled with Nathaniel's voice.

Talking, whenever he wanted. He was talking nonsense. She mused. Though, she still enjoyed it nonetheless. The only moment where he stops talking when he was singing.

She could almost feel her heart blush. His voice is truly perfect.

Inside a certain car...

[Conversations in Japanese]

[Yoshibara, I suppose your job's been done with?]

"Ryuuro-sama," He said through the phone. He exchanged a glance with the other guards. "I've brought all of Anna-sama's guards just like you wanted, despite her particular request of having me alone."

[Good. Is that... all?]

"About your secret task, Ryuuro-sama," He started. "We had the boy's thorough information ready."

[Good job. Now, speak.]

"The boy's name is Abrera Nathaniel. One of the grandsons of Abrera Fransimar Jr. The successor of Abrera Fransimar Sr. Owner of Manila International Sch—"

[Stop. Are you saying that he's the grandson of Anna's current school?!]

"Yes, Ryuuro-sama."

[Uwaa. Anna has a way of befriending someone, isn't she?]

"Err... Yes, Ryuuro-sama."

[Tch. What are you waiting for? Go on!]
