Chapter 21: Do You Really can't See?
Lily was stunned. Who the hell was she to call her outrageous!
"You... You dared to call me outrageous! I am the Young Miss of Smiths'. Nobody dared to raise his voice over me. Yet you are..." Lily pointed her finger towards Mantisha as she was going to continue screaming.
"So you are from Smiths'." Mantisha curled her lips while pretending to look at her nails.
"I wonder what would happen if the word goes out that the Young Miss of Smiths' cursed someone at Mr. Roy's banquet, calling her a bi*ch."
*Awkward Silence*
Lily started to panic in her heart. This time was too crutical for her. Her entire future was in line. A simple rumour could ruin everything. Her hard earned respects as a well behaved Young Miss, business school degree, reputation as a renowned fashion influencer, everything would be ruined. Not a single scandal could broke out. Otherwise her right as the successor would pass on to any other cousins of her. She shut her mouth as she gritted her teeth.
Daisy got also scared. If that girl really opened her mouth, her reputation would also damage. She could not risk the upcoming project of Mr. Ethan because of this da**ed girl.
Nobody dared to utter a single word. Nobody moved a single step. It was like they were afraid of breathing.
Suddenly Steven burst out laughing. He did not comment, nor did he support anyone. He just laughed like a carefree person, not in a very noble way.
Mantisha looked at him in awe. His voice sounded so charming, like a stream, an effluence drifting towards its fall. The waves of the sound of his laughter reverberated over the walls of the empty balcony. The crescent moon shone on the back of his head as the moon light enveloped his board shoulders. In the magical night, with a magical appearance, he was looking like a magestic greek god. Who alone could cover the sky with one of his hands.
All four ladies there were mesmerized by the scene of in front of them. Daisy gulped hard, 'How could he be this handsome', she thought to herself, totally ignoring the fact that she was the one he was laughing at.
Slowly, when he calmed down, they became embarrassed.
Lily still tried to reason to cover her embarrassment, "Young Master Wilson, we were sorry for being rude. We were just worried about you. This lady here seemed to be pretentious, she also insulted Young Master Black a while ago. We saw her saying you were looking at her in a creepy way. She might not know that you can not see. So we thought she was pestering you."
Mantisha pursed her lips. 'How come they just assumed I am here to pester him. Wait... What!'
"What did you say? Who can not see?"
Lily forgot the previous pressure as she looked at her. She told disdainfully. "Look at you, so you really do not even know him. Yet you are here, trying to get his attention while spouting nonsense."
Mantisha was annoyed but still she ignored her words.
"Tell me, who can not see?"
Lily started at her like she was an alien. "Who else, the one you were pestering earlier. Young Master Wilson."
*Silence*
Mantisha was dumbstruck. How could that be! He was clearly smirking after kissing her yesterday. Not only that, he behaved like a completely normal person a while ago. Not that she was judging his actions but he cought her when she was going to fell. What was exactly happening!
"What? Now you forgot how to answer?" Daisy said as she clicked her tongue.
Mantisha: "..."
"Scram", a deep thunderous voice fell. The ladies there almost jumped in fright by the impact.
"Young Master Wilson..."
"I said, SCRAM."
Steven's voice was like a icy sound cave, no touch of warmth were in it.
"We are leaving, we are leaving." Lily said hastily while fled from the scene with the other two.
Steven had a terrifying expression in his face. Nobody could tell if he was enraged because the sore spot of him was touched or he was angered by the baseless bickering of them.
"D*mn it", he cursed under his breath.
Suddenly, he felt someone near his back was approaching. He did not tell anything, nor did he look back. He stood there motionlessly, like a human statue with a blank look on all over his face.
"Do you really can not see?" Mantisha asked him in a low apathetic way.
Steven's entire body stiffened. He did not expect this question to be raised, here. This was something he was afraid of answering. Thirty seven years ago, he was not bothered about her, but now, with the memory of her, of them, he could not manage to utter the truth to her.
"Are you afraid of answering?" Mantisha became more puzzled with his behaviour.
Steven's shoulders became a little relaxed at the thought of her being worried for him. Then he slowly turn back, their faces met each other, merely two feet away.
"Why did not you go back earlier?" His voice deprived of the previous coldness he beared.
"Do I have to follow your orders?" Mantisha talked back. Then she asked again, "Then, how did you know that I was uncomfortable?"
"So you really were uncomfortable!"
Mantisha became speechless immediately. What kind of expression is this!
"Then, how did you catch me when I was having difficulty in breathing? Or when I was falling down?"
"By intuition." Steven deadpanned.
Mantisha: ...
She was annoyed, as well as curious. But she could not do anything. Generally she did not interfere in other people's businesses but with him... She easily loosed her usual cool.
'Forget it. He is a stranger after all. We just met twice by chance. It would not be good to ask much about his personal business. What will I do even after knowing! What would happen if he asks something back! It would be better to stay away.' bearing the thought in her mind, she turned to leave. She was already here for so long. She need to show her face again from a distance to Sylvia. Otherwise Sylvia would be worried.
Steven closed his eyes in frustration. It was hard for him to see her so close but not holding her in his arms, hugging her tight and tell her that only she had the right to know everything about him. Yet, he could not.
He could only hold back and wait for the right time to come.
