Re: The Villainess Does It With Class

Chapter 120 - I Spy With My Little Eye Pt. 2

I then averted my eyes. It feels like I'm watching something that I shouldn't even see so, let us leave, shall we? Let's leave those two alone in their own bubbly world.

I turned to the opposite direction and scaled the west side instead. If I came to the same place where I exited earlier, then there's a chance that those two would notice me. I don't want that…

Anyway, that truly was an interesting sight. I guess, this night is not that boring than I thought.

I creeped along the castle walls and behind the thick bushes in the garden. The moonlight was the only thing that lights up the surroundings so it was a little troublesome. Though there are lamps stationed from the pillars so it's not entirely that dark around.

"I wanna go home," I mumbled while sighing.

There's no more point in staying here when it's obvious that nothing will happen with the novel plot. This just mean that I should stop minding and following the story huh.

"I was seriously looking forward to it…" I grumbled for the second time.

You know that feeling you get when you were sitting on a roller coaster and when you are already at the peak, the coaster just stops there right before a huge loop? No? Damn…

That's what I feel right now. I feel robbed!

Tsk. I shouldn't have hoped for anything…

"Who are you?" 

I snapped back to reality and flinched to the direction of that voice. It was near and I was about to turn right at that moment when I heard it.

Slowly, I planted myself on the wall and peered at the other side. 

"I-I-I u-uhmm I'm sorry! I d-didn't mean to disturb you…" a female voice pleaded.

I blinked at the view of the two familiar people. 

'E-eh? Eh?! Aren't those…!!'

The man with raven black hair glared down at the petite woman in front of him. She was slightly shivering from fright as she shrank further on her feet.

'Look at my damn luck!'

I just saw Estelle and Lukas y'all~

Let me just refresh my mind about this setting in the novel. Hmmm… it's kind of fuzzy but I know it's there, I read what I wrote on the paper yesterday after all.

Right, so, Estelle ran away from the ball because she felt out of place. No one was talking to her and she's slowly losing her courage. 

That's what the first sentence said, or was it? I can't fully remember… Then she stumbled upon Lukas who had followed her outside and then they talked. Estelle then proposed a deal with him.

Now, there are changes on how these two met but at least they did meet. Estelle didn't leave because she felt lonely and out of place, it's because she got exhausted from the attention.

Lukas didn't follow her outside either, he disappeared on his own. And from the looks of it, Estelle had accidentally bumped into him or something.

'It works for me…'

The question now is would Estelle took this opportunity and make a deal with him?

I looked at the frightened Estelle and grimaced. It doesn't look like it's going that way though. Unless Estelle squares up and be brazen about it.

I mean, she kind of has balls of steel in the novel. Or was it from sheer determination?

"Oh? Then get lost," Lukas bluntly declared.

Ouch. That's kind of harsh…

Is he not interested in our heroine at all? She's hella beautiful this night, you know. Just look at her!

Wasn't he a playboy and a heartbreaker? Why is he being so … uhh… mean?

'No, don't leave! You can do it Estelle!' 

I was cheering her wholeheartedly at the other side of the wall, hoping that it could boost her courage. This is for her future after all.

Lukas clicked his tongue when he noticed that she wasn't budging, hence, he himself moved to desert that place.

Wait, why is Lukas here in the garden anyway? I thought he went home...

"Please wait!" Estelle called out.

Yesss, that's right. Don't let him get away! Grab the opportunity!

I was basically quaking in my heels in excitement. Though this is such an awkward position to watch from. I couldn't get to see Estelle's reactions at all, only Lukas's face is accessible to me.

Not that I'm complaining…

Lukas looked down at her again. Geez, it was so cold that hell could even freeze from it.

"What?" He said.

Tell him! Tell him now! Struck the deal and be happy, come on!

"I…" it was just one word but I felt like I'm going to seriously lost it.

It really sucks not seeing Estelle's face but I cant do anything about that. 

I saw Estelle gripping the sides of her gown, in an act of steeling herself.

"I have a--"

"Hey," Lukas cut her off.

Damn it Lukas! Stop talking and listen first! Don't ruin the mood, tch.

"Are you spying on me again?" He remarked.

Hmm? Who's he talking to? Did he mean Estelle? Why does it sound strangely heart pounding though…

My chest suddenly felt tight and there was an uncomfortable feeling in my stomach. 

"E-eh?" Estelle was baffled.

Of course, who wouldn't? He's spouting nonsense all of a sudden after all. I am in confusion too.

"You said you're not stalking me yet here you are," Lukas added.

Nnn?? !!! 

Stalki-- ???

Why do I feel dread? There's an unpleasant air around me, what is this?

I mean, no way…?

"Eavesdropping on someone else's conversation is bad, you know."

Whaaa--

"Uhm, who are you talking to?" Estelle questioned.

Yes, that's right! Who are you talking to?!

Lukas's electric purple eyes went up and stared straight at me. I was so surprised that I instantly slammed myself on the wall, hiding from them.

Just now, our eyes met… didn't it?

H-how?

My heart was beating so loud that I don't hear anything anymore except for that. It also feels like it's going to jump out of my throat.

'oh shit oh shit oh shit…'

He noticed me? Since when?

I made sure I didn't made a sound nor caused attention. Are his senses that sharp? 

"Come out," Lukas called out.

AAAAAAHHHHH 

What do I do?! Why did he--
