Chapter 156 Scar
She entered into the news room with Beatrice, both of them drawing soft gazes from all the news reporters. Melissa scanned the room and finally, her eyes rested om the familiar figure she was searching for. Richard was at a far corner of the room a piece of wire in his hand and he bit imto it tearing off the skin before handing the wire over to Avalors who also had his suit off and the wrist of his cloth folded up.
Melissa glanced at Beatrice and she had the same disdainful look that was on her face. They both stared at the two ! En as they fixed up a wire cable with their teeths and ductape. Margaret walked in at the time and she also held the same disdainful look. It was like the two men didn't know how high the position they were holdong was.
Melissa shook her head and sat down angrily as the reporters bowed to her and the others she didn't even reply their bows as well as she was supposed to. She was more angry than both Magaret and Beatrice. Since she'd entered the room, the idiot she calls mate had not even once glanced back to look at her. He hasn't even noticed that she was in the room.
She kept glancing in his direction but him and Avalors were busy doing silly works while she was expecting him to commemt on her clothes. Melissa in truth actually just found the situation amusing, she did like his attention and liked when he complimented her but she didn't crave it. She was better now, better than she was before and she would keep on getting better. That was one of the reasons she wrote an apology letter to the inquisitor she'd offended. She even inserted a request to meet up again on happier terms. Of course she wasn't expecting a reply, inquisitors are very arrogamt people.
After a few monents, Alina led the council members into the news room. Melissa glanced at them and just rolled her eyes. They took their seats at the right hand of the entire setting. They were supposed to be there to support her, but all of them wore mean faces except Greyhound he looked tired. Melissa made a mental note to find time to talk to him.
At last Richard and Avalors finished up with what they were fixing and the room had a soft music playing from the background as its light flicked on. The Air Conditioner hummed to live and started to work. Richard and Avalors gave each other an high five as they smiled happily. Even though Melissa wanted to keep a disdainful look 9n her face she couldn't help but giggle. Seeing Richard smile meant too much to her and it made her happy.
They put on their clothes and for some reason they both still looked dashing. At last he sensed her and suddemly glanced around the room till his eyes fell on her. She rolled her eyes at him and he beamed. He walked towards her and then stood behing her.
“Can you stand up,?" He asked in a low tone
“And why will I do that?" She asked with another eyeroll as she puffed up, folding her arms.
Richard smiled and bent down a bit as if to tell her something important. “I want to see the dress," be said.
“Well, I am not standing for such a mundane task," she replied with her face even frowned further.
Acting like this always got her way more sweetness, a little break from his usual “silent like a doormat," demeanour. “If you don't stand up, I am going to kiss you in front of everyone here. Tongue and all," he threatened.
She glanced at the bunch of reporters still getting ready and then she squeezed her face like she wanted to do something important then stood up. She picked up her small purse and started walked out of the room, Richard following her from behind. Both of them held a mean gaze like they were going to do something important but as would seem the mean faces didn't fool Beatrice. Has she passed beside her she held her hand stopping her from walking out.
“Both of you," she said, glancing at both Richard and Melissa. “Do not do anything stupid. I am watching you," she said.
“Ouch," Melissa feigned being hurt. “That is no way to speak to your Luna," she whispered. “However we are actually going to do something, very important,” she said, with an eye roll as they walked out of the room.
That was in fact a lie. One minute they were walking down the hall like a set of meaningful people the next second they were in a toilet kissing each other sensually. Melissa moaned as he placed his hand on her waist, the two of them jot oetting each other go for a while until they broke off at last.
" We are not kids, you know?" Melissa said, gasping for breath. “Seriously, have we descended so low that we are kissing in a toilet?”
Richard smiled and didn't say anything, instead he walked forward and just held her chin up and once again they were kissing each other deeply again. They would have continued towards the part where they they'd probably be without covering when both their phones rang. They jolted and both stopped kissing.
They both glanced at their phone, they were being called by Beatrice and Avalors. Melissa sighed and kisses Richard again. “We will continue tonight," she said.
“Promise you'd wear the dress," he said.
“Definitely, anything for my baby," she giggled and turned around.
“Melissa,” he called as she started to walk out. She turned back and he exhaled before speaking. “Don't take this the wrong way, but do you still feel any tugging from his mark? “ He asked.
Melissa looked at him and smiled she knew he'd meant Ronald's mark. The only thing she felt from it was pain. “It is a scar not a mark, “ she said and he nodded. He walked forward clasping his hand into hers as they both walked out of the toilet.
