Chapter 37
“Hm. What was that little maggot doing? Don’t tell me she didn’t sleep inside the car, and she’s going to run away.” She suddenly thought. A little later, Asthrid started to become paranoid. She suddenly just wanted to go out to see if Krisna was doing as she was told. She immediately finished her night routine and went out of the room to look for Krisna.
She locked the room and started to walk. The whole mansion was insanely huge and vast, and it was taking her some time to walk to where she parked her car. After a few turns to the left then right, she was able to make it out of the maze, and there she saw the stairs to go down.
She stopped when she was about to go down. “Oh, no. Where did I park the car? I forgot where it is.” She told herself and started to do her mannerism of biting her nails when she was trying to think. She couldn’t remember if there was a valet or did someone park it for her.
“Hello there, Asthrid Olimps.” Asthrid was about to take a step down the stairs when a voice of a girl behind her called out her name. The woman was smiling evilly as she was approaching her. Asthrid walked to the side for a safe place until the woman was in front of her.
“I’m sorry? Do I know you?” She asked while looking at her with a baffled facial expression.
The woman leaned forward, so Asthrid leaned to the railings.
“You look pretty gorgeous in person, just like what everyone says. They didn’t fool me.” The woman said while looking happily. Those statements took Asthrid’s attention, and she always wanted to take the spotlight no matter what kind of situation that was, and hearing that someone said that she was gorgeous was making her ear fall.
“Oh, please. That’s not true. I don’t even have makeup on right now, and you’re embarrassing me.” She said with blushing cheeks while she was doing her hand gesture of being shy.This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
The woman chuckled and looked at the necklace she was wearing. “That necklace is so chic. I bet that is so expensive, huh? I love it. It looks perfect on you.” She continued to compliment Asthrid, and she knew that she was enjoying it.
“You’re funny and kind, aren’t you? I like you. But do I know you, dear?” She said when she realized that this woman just popped up when she called out her name when they weren’t even acquaintances.
The woman shook her head left and right, then suddenly, when she looked at Asthrid, her facial expression changed, and it was the face of someone who she knew wouldn’t do good. “No, you don’t know me, but once we finish talking, I’m pretty sure we’ll be best of friends.” She winked at Asthrid, which made her really curious as to what they were going to talk about. She didn’t know who this person was, but she felt like she was a nice person. Maybe the saying was true. Birds with the same feather flocks together. Asthrid could have some strange aura around this woman, especially when she smiled at her. At this point, Asthrid wanted to talk more with this woman because she was being too mysterious.
Asthrid was thinking that the woman deserved her attention plus, they have so much in common when she noticed that this woman was also interested in beauty products and fashion. Her hair was very silky like it had been taken care of, her nails were also very healthy and in very good condition, and even when it was time for bedtime, she still had those pretty sparkly rings on her fingers.
Her forehead creased, and she looked at the woman with her eyebrows arched upward. “Just who are you, and why do you know my name?” She asked the woman in front of her in a very curious tone. She was starting to feel annoyed again.
It annoyed Asthrid, even more, when the woman just smiled at her, and she got her chin up like she was not afraid of who Asthrid was.”How come I don’t know you? You’re Alpha Jaster’s daughter from the Fire Pack, aren’t you?” She said as she flipped her hair. Because of that, Asthrid had finally confirmed that this person was in the same league as her. They were both b*tches who wanted the same goal.
“Hm. It’s confirmed. I really like this lady.” She told herself and smiled evilly. She also flipped her hair and started to stomp her feet while her hands were crossed across her chest.
She finally found someone that she could rely on when it came to doing something illegal. She would make sure that she would be friends with this woman to make use of her as well. Asthrid was so sure that this woman in front of her had something up her sleeves.
“You’re good. So, before you came here, you already investigated me? You’re a cunning one, and I like it.” Asthrid said while they were both smiling devilishly. “Tell me… What’s your name?”
3rd Person POV
This woman in front of Asthrid was able to emit such a powerful aura, and Asthrid wanted to know more. She was thirsty for what she was about to say.
She bowed her head gently to offer respect to the Alpha’s daughter and looked at Asthrid’s eyes directly. “My name is Mabelle, Ms. Olimps, and I hope we can be friends somehow.” She introduced herself respectfully, but with the look on Asthrid’s face, it was obvious that it was really the first time she heard that name, and this woman’s face was not familiar to her.
“I am not familiar with that name, and I’m very sorry.” She thriftily said. What did this woman really want from her? She just went to talk to her, introducing her name and saying they could be friends.
Asthrid thought she was only an ordinary human who wanted to make use of her power as the Alpha’s daughter by being friends with her. But maybe she just overestimated this woman named Mabelle when she was just nothing like that little maggot she was calling.
