The feel of amusement was evident all over her face when she read Drake’s text. She put the phone back in her pocket and started staring at Henry with amusement. She decided to play along with him. “You’re pretty confident in yourself, you know that?” Lisa said, putting her hands on him. “It might be because you’re fun to talk to, HAHA,” Henry said, laughing.The bartender poured a drink for Lisa. She took a sip and started to act tipsy. Putting her hands on her head, she sat down for a moment. Henry put both his hands over her shoulders and moved closer to her. “This girl is all mine now,” he thought, grinning. “Are you okay, miss?” he asked.“Y- yeah, I think…” Lisa said and then fainted.“H- Hey,” Henry said, grabbing Lisa’s waist and supporting her.“I’m fine! Pour me another wine,” she said in a drunken tone.Henry looked at his friend, who gave him a thumbs up. Henry chuckled and forcibly got Lisa back on her feet.“You’ve had enough for today, young lady. Time to head home now
Lisa came closer to Henry, sat down, and put her hands on his cheeks. She said in an amusing tune, “That’s more like it. Now bark like a cute little puppy.”“Actually, that night… I was a bit drunk and chilling with my friends as usual,” Henry started telling about that incident. “I was with my girlfriend and some of my friends who I usually hang out with. We were sitting in the corner talking about stuff, and that’s when one of my friends saw Blurb. He was standing out among the public due to his poor personality. We made fun of him behind his back and started to talk about our stuff again. Just when I started to feel drunk, a strange man showed up and told me to piss Blurb, and if I do so, he’ll give me 100,000 USD.”“Come on! You are the son of the second-leading company of this country. Do y
“How much longer will I have to wait here?” Lisa asked as she stood up and began walking towards her injured friend.“He seems to be unconscious,” Lisa said louder.Henry looked at his friend and started running towards him. He listened for his heartbeats to check if he was alive, then looked at Lisa with an angry face. “What the hell did you do to him?”“Who, me? I didn’t do anything… It must be the poison which has started to take effect on him now,” Lisa said and chuckled.“You—”“I was already telling you that I don’t have all night to waste here. Now you know why,” she said and grinned. “Now hurry up and tell before the poison kills your dear friend.”Out of panic, Henry finally decided to call the friend who was with him that night.“So you finally decided to open your mouth, huh?” Lisa said with an amused tone.His friend picked up the call, “Hey Henry, what’s the occasion?” he asked.“Hey Richard…” Henry said with panic.“What's going on, bro? You don’t sound fine,” Richard sa
Henry told his father and Jordan about the club incident when he got beaten up by Blurb and then how Michel came to arrest him and broke his leg at the police station. Henry also told them about that night’s event but didn’t mention killing anyone. He said, “When we were on our way to a hotel room with her, she revealed her true identity to me and then warned me that if I didn’t tell her about the person who told me to do that work, then she will destroy me. My friend was with me, and she poisoned him just to show that she wasn’t joking.”“So, was she the one who dropped you off at the hospital?” Jordan asked him.“Y- yes,” Henry replied hesitantly.Henry’s father was angry with him after he heard that he bullied someone just because someone mocked him in front of his girlfriend. “I knew you were a fool, but to think that you’d get manipulated this easily. It’s truly a shame…” he said.“I am sorry, Dad,” Henry said with a sad voice. “I promise, I won’t do this ever again.”Denial look
Hearing Henry say that, Jordan got confused and asked, “What do you mean? You just said that he twisted his neck, and now you are saying that he wasn’t dead?”“Yess…” Henry answered and explained, “I received a phone call from him, and he said that he doesn't remember anything that happened last night. The only thing he knew was that we were taking a hot lady to a hotel room… just hearing his voice made all my tension and anger go away. That was the moment I realized my mistake, and now I just want to apologize to both of them. But there is one person who I don’t want to forgive at all cost.”Jordan listened to Henry and stood quietly. He finally understood what Henry and his father were trying to say to him. Jordan assured him that he respects his decision and would always be by his side, no matter if it’s about revenge or peace. Jordan also told him that he’ll do whatever he can to know about the guy who he wants to take revenge from. And then he left the cabin, leaving Henry alone
Later that day, Drake came to meet me at the Mansion. I was watching TV in the living room, and Rosa was sitting on the other sofa with Jenna. Of course, she was cursing me as usual. When I saw Drake coming towards me, I turned off the TV and stood up to greet him.“Long time no see, sir,” I greeted him and shook our hands.“It’s been a while indeed, Blurb. How’s your leg doing?” Drake asked.“My whole body’s feeling muscle cramps right now,” I said, stretching my body with a painful sound effect. “And you know the reason how.”“Haha, so she decided to train you, huh?”“She’s a demon, bro. I’ve done training before as well, but no one tried killing me with these intense workouts,” I lamented in front of Drake. I knew that Lisa wasn’t doing anything wrong, and I agreed to this willingly. But still, with Drake around, I felt like opening up.“It’s fine,” Drake told me and continued, “Believe me, you are quite lucky if Madam Lisa is training you herself. She’ll make you the person you ne
“Say what?” Lisa looked at him in shock. “How did my sister find out about this? Did you tell her?” she asked Marx.“You see the difference between you and your sister now? You might be her elder sister, but she’s way sharper than you'll ever be,” he replied.Lisa clicked her tongue and turned away, leaving the place.“My dear Athena! I wonder how much you've changed in the past few years,” Marx mused, gazing at her photo.Meanwhile, Lisa arrived at the mansion where Drake and I were still engrossed in casual conversation while a maid served us food. Lisa glanced at them before heading to her room to change. Entering the bathroom, she luxuriated in the warm water. “Ah, yes! This warm water is exactly what I needed,” she sighed with relief, though her expression soon shifted to worry.“If Athena comes to the house, it’ll be chaotic here, and the silence of this mansion will be gone,” she muttered to herself. “Well, she's going to stay here for a few days, so I guess I can deal with it.
The next day, Lisa seemed worked up for the exercise. She wore a different workout outfit and arrived at the garden before me. I approached her, “Good morning, Lisa. You're up early today, huh?”“You dare to come fifteen minutes late and then mock me by saying that I woke up early?” Lisa retorted while stretching.“No… I came on time, what are you talking about?”“Shut up! As a student, it’s your duty to arrive before your teacher.”“Fine! Fine!” I acquiesced and began my basic exercises.As I followed her lead, I pondered how I could convince her to exercise with me. I recalled Drake's advice, though I wasn’t confident it would work. “Well, there’s nothing to lose but a lot to gain. So here goes nothing,” I thought as Lisa and I finished our basic body stretching.“Alright! It’s time for you to run,” said Lisa.“It’s time for us to run,” I corrected her.“Hmm…? It’s just your second day, and you want me to run with you?”“Why? You don’t have the stamina?” I teased.Lisa laughed, “Are
