The Villainess Does it With Class.《BOOK 2》

chapter 278

So you don't have friends…" I grumbled, "Then how about your subordinates? You don't trust them?" I added.

He then shrugged his shoulders.

"Depends."

"That means you trust some of them!" I remarked enthusiastically.

He looked down on me for a second before saying, "Are you telling me that I should trust you and treat you as my subordinate?"

"No?" I refuted him instantly, "I mean trust me like your sub–... Yeah… Huh?" I was just confused by the end of it.

Lukas retracted his hand on my jaw and bent closer. He was now caging me as he placed both his hands on the table behind me. I got startled when his face was only a mere inches away from mine which made me lean back to avoid him subconsciously. But I can't get away because if I did lean too far, I would definitely fall flat on the table.

It's very uncomfortable.

"Little cat, aren't you too presumptuous? Why would I trust you? It's easier to just erase the people who know too much. That's what I do…" He drawled close to my ears.

His breath tickled, sending little shivers up my spine. He's so close that everything was just him. It's a sensory overload!

"You– you can't erase me." I tried to sound brave although I was literally panicking inside.

I was screaming in my head because he's too close like for real! If I make just one wrong move, our skin will touch. I could bump his nose or on his cheeks, I don't know but it's freaking me out!

And him threatening to kill me is not helping at all.

"Why not? You have admitted that you know my weaknesses and secrets. What if someone catches you and extracts the information from you? I should just…"

"I'm the saint! –Unofficial… You are not allowed to do anything harmful to me," I blurted.

Lukas moved his head back a little and smirked.

"Who said that?"

"The emperor will get mad…" I pointed out.

As if mentioning the emperor would really stop him anyway.

As expected, Lukas let out a cynical laugh, looking like a devil.

"Heh. Do you think I care about his anger? The royal family can't stop me. I am not a property of the empire…"

That's true…

Damn it!

I had already run out of excuses to escape from peril. Looks like I have to say goodbye to breathing now. Just thinking about it is making me cry…

"Uuhh…"

Lukas suddenly burst out laughing, his shoulders shaking as he moved away to cover his mouth.

"Heh. Ahahaha you look stupid." He commented afterward.

"You terrible man!" I hissed at him.

Why is he like this? Is he perhaps a sadist? I think he is!

After a short while of him trying to stifle his laugh at the side while I stood dejected in front of my dressing table and glaring at him, he cleared his throat and leaned on the fireplaceYou better remember to keep your words…" he said, "I guess I have to keep an eye on you all the time, huh."

"Please, don't," I whispered under my breath.

I'm always tired of having you around, I swear…

His purple eyes narrowed on me.
