CHAPTER 132 TRUST ME
"I apologize if I offended you in any way, Lady Allura. However, there are still 15 minutes before lunchtime, so I am not late.
It is you who arrived too early.
Not that I am complaining,
Rather, I am happy to know that you are as excited about our lunch together as I am."
"!!!" Allura widened her eyes in surprise as she turned around and saw Nux standing behind her with that signature smile on his face.
"Y-Y-You! Are you a ghost!? How do you appear behind me every time without me realizing it? And why are my protectors unable to stop you?" Allura questioned.
"Yes, that was the reaction I was expecting when I appeared behind you the first time. However, you disappointed me and started asking all those questions.
Well, I can understand that as well, you were missing me very much that day, so it was normal." Nux muttered with a smile on his face.
"I was not missing you!" Allura retorted, she then realized something and retorted again,
"Also, I am not excited about this lunch at all! I am not early!"
"You are early, Lady Allura"
"I am not! Lunch time is 1 pm in the afternoon!"
"Yes, and it is 12:50 right now, you were 15 minutes early, Lady Allura," Nux muttered as he pointed at the clock that was hanging in the room.
Allura glanced at the clock and widened her eyes in surprise.
Well, it was not like she didn't know about it.
Actually, Nux wasn't playing any games here, she did arrive a little early since she was a little excited about meeting him.
Of course, she would never admit it out loud.
Who would give a free point like this to others?
"Yes, that is what I am talking about. It is 12:50, lunchtime is 12:45 pm, and you are late. I believe you should apologize."
In the end, Allura was a noble as well, she can lie right through her teeth without any problems.
As long as you don't admit you are lying, you are saying the truth.
Simple.
Seeing her lie, Nux shook his head and sighed, "Haahhh… you are really trying hard to not admit it, huh, Lady Allura. However, if you were not excited and were in rush to come here, how do you explain the missing eyeliner on your left eye?" Nux questioned with a smile on his face.
"!!!" Allura's eyes widened in surprise.
'Wait! Did the maids not do my make-up right!? Have I been walking around without an eyeliner all this time!? What!?
Why didn't anyone tell me?
Were they scared about angering me!?
Or were they laughing behind my back!?'
Allura's whole world crumbled as she thought of countless possibilities. Suddenly, a mirror appeared in her hand and as she glanced looked at her own face, her movements paused.
Suddenly, she closed her eyes and started breathing heavily, however, she still failed to control her anger and lashed out.
"How da-"
"Shhhh!!"
However, before she could say much, Nux placed a finger on his lips and gestured her to stay silent as he pointed at the door.
"They will hear you" He whispered softly.
"How dare you fool me!?" Allura questioned in anger, of course, her tone was a low softer than before.
"Hahaha~ My bad, My bad, Lady Allura. However, this does prove one thing."
"What?" ρꪖꪕᦔꪖꪕꪫꪣꫀ ꪶ
"That you were in such a hurry to see me that you forgot to see your face mirror and rushed to here. I am glad to know it, Lady Allura. You truly have made my day."
Nux chuckled.
Allura's face turned red in anger and embarrassment.
"You bastard! How dare you tease me!?" She roared, and of course, she did it in a low voice.
"Hahaha~" Nux laughed out loud, teasing her was funnnn.
Very very funnnn~
"You dare laugh at m- Wait…"
Soon, Allura realized something.
She then turned towards Nux and narrowed her eyes.
"You changed the topic again." She complained.
"Hmm? What do you mean?"
"Don't try to act innocent. I won't fall for it twice. I asked you, however, you tried to change the topic.
I do not like it.
It is disrespectful if you aren't going to answer my questions; there is no point in having lunch together this way." Allura replied in a serious tone.
Nux smiled wryly when he saw her expression.
'As expected… it isn't easy to fool her huh…' he thought inwardly and shook his head. He had noticed that his plans aren't working that well these days.
First the case with Thyra and now this.
Haahhh…
Well, whatever, he just needs to face it directly, plus, where's the fun in doing everything according to the script?
"Alright, ask what you want."
Nux decided to take a chance and be honest.
Of course, how much information he reveals depends on him. He wasn't going to tell everything to a woman he met a few days ago.
"How did you appear behind me without alerting my protectors?" Allura questioned for the third time.
"It's beca-"
*Knock* *Knock* *Knock*
Nux wanted to answer, but before he could, he heard a knock.
"What is it?" Allura questioned, she wasn't very panicked like before, she has seen how scarily quick this young man's reflexes are, he always hides in time if something goes wrong.
"Lunch" The servant standing on the other side of the door muttered.
"Oh? To think Lady Allura have already ordered Lunch. Considerate indeed." Nux commented.
Allure decided to ignore his comments.
It wasn't her who ordered the food, it was her protectors.
Of course, they did that because she told them to.
But, as you know, nobody needs to know that.
"Go hide, I am calling him"
"Just call him, I'll show you how I appeared behind you so easily. It will be a lot better than to directly explain it to you." Nux muttered with a smile.
Allura glanced at him with an unsure look.
Nux then nodded.
"Trust me."Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org
