"I do not want my father to be embarrassed in public." The man that was emitting cold waves till now suddenly turned into a blazing inferno and the flames of fire started to come out of his body.
Did he think she wanted to embarrass others! If that was the case she would not have run away from there. Come to think of it, the man who was ordering her to find a way to cancel this marriage. He was the reason for this predicament. If he had not found her in the first place then they would not have been using their brain cells on it.
"Do not look at me like that! I was instructed to find you." ' and i was curious to see which girl had won my father's heart for me.' he kept this information to himself as he looked at her curtly.
She widened her eyes and then her lips turned into a thin line. What was he! A worm on her stomach? How did he know what she was thinking! Even the thought of him reading her like an open book made her cringe. "If you do not have any other way. Then I shall leave." what did it sound like you are no more valuable to me to her! It was not like she wanted to be precious to him. All she wanted was to live.
She raked her brain hard, thinking of a way to get rid of this troubled name Leo. when the bulb of her mind finally lit up.
"Wait, I have a great idea." Leo looked at her with interest and she gave him a smug look. Showing him two fingers, she mumbled
"Just give me two weeks and I would be able to convince him that I am not a good wife. But for that you have to act with me." her eyes were twinkling when she told him proudly about her plan, but all he looked at was her eyes. He felt lost in them and didn't hear a word of her mumbling until her voice tore his eardrums.
"So, is it a deal?" For the first time in a long time, Leo was at a loss for words. He did not hear at all what she said, but he could not tell her so. She would surely act smug again and make fun of him. So, he tilted his head and then nodded.
"Good, then we both would make him decide that I am not qualified to be his daughter in law." she rubbed her head in anticipation but he wanted to know more of what she had planned.
"I am sure if he knew you enough, he would take that decision only." What did he even mean by that? She glared at him but when she looked at his eyes, she nodded her head in acceptance as she heard him. "Then leave it to me." she replied when he still did not leave. She had already solved his problem which was her problem too yet the man was staring at her as if she owed him treasure.
Leo folded his arms and stared at Evan with his serious and earnest eyes. As if he was waiting for her to elaborate her plan.
"I will act as a wicked woman." she replied with a bright smile that matched a kid who was excited to perform on the stage for the very first time.
It was far away to the wicked person she was talking about yet Leo nodded but still continued to stare at her. When she stared back, he sighed and added.
"Show me!" his voice was filled with impatience.
"Ah, a-ah, yes...right now?" she stumbled at her words. She needed time to think of dialogue and play a script. Even stage actors were given time to practice before acting.
"Why! Can't you?" 'Why did it sound like "Or do you want to die?' She gulped and then nodded her head. She was thinking hard of how to be a wicked person so suddenly when she looked at his impatient face but then a thought passed her mind and her eyes shone brighter than stars. She almost stopped herself from jumping at the last moment when she noticed his unwavering stare on her and collected her expressions.
"I can do it." she replied with determination. "But you have to promise me that you will not be angry or take revenge when I behave wickedly towards you." Leo nodded as it was given, if she would act properly then he would be free from the boundation. He was not planning to get married this early anyway.
She nodded with satisfaction and moved towards him when he looked at her curiously but in the next second what happened, he would have never thought that even in his dreams. Her hands were still on his cheeks when the whole room resonated with the sound of slap.
