Chapter 234 - 234: Peyton''s guest


    Chapter 234:


    Evan sat back on the ne, leaning back into the butter-soft leather with a sigh.


    "Mr Su, would you like a drink?"


    He shook his head and closed his eyes. The rustling faint sound of music made his eyes open, creasing his brows as he looked at his back. He was seated in a first-ss seat, few other passengers were doing their own business.


    "Do you like music?" the woman behind him spoke.


    He shook his head and turned to look at the window, weeks passed without finding Danie and it''s started to destroy his patience.


    "You are Evan Su, right?"


    Fissled apanied the movement as the woman got settled on the empty chair next to him. He specifically bought the seat so he can be alone.


    As when he was about to ignore her, his nose sniffed the scent he hasn''t smelled in more than a month. He inhaled deeply, not caring that people would think that he looked stupid by doing it.


    That sweet-vani scent smelled like home, the smell he''d been hunting for weeks.


    He looked at the woman next to him, her shoulder-length burning red hair with piercing green eyes. He lifted a hand and touched her face. His breath caught and he found his eyes drawn to the forest green of the stranger.


    "Danie?" he pinched her cheek slightly to uncover the real face underneath the confusion but to his dismay, the skin was real and disturbingly smooth.


    The woman chuckled, her fingers gripped his wrist, "I am Althea Adam," she leaned forward to his face, so close that he could feel her hot breathe, "this is a secret between us but I am the current Queen of Ga."


    Yanking his wrist from her grip, Evan frown. She had the same smell of the woman he longed for weeks but her face and attitude werepletely different.


    When the country name hit his mind, his frown deepened. He withdrew from looking at her and started to pop his earbuds. Thest thing he wanted was to have another woman tied with his name. He couldn''t get rid of Camille, adding a royal would only make Danie choke him to death.


    "Hey," Althea poked his arm. Evan took a sigh and slightly red at her.


    "Please go back to your chair. I am not interested in talking to anyone," he didn''t care if she''s royalty or her eyes were forming tears by his rejection. He wanted a peaceful flight; he needed a lot of sleep.


    "Fine," she gathered her confidence and got up, such man with good looks and bad attitude was not worth her time.


    When the woman got back in her chair, Evan removed his earbuds and got up. He needed to wash his wrist to remove the scent she left. It might be faint but he still felt strange.


    --


    Meanwhile, in the south. Inside one of the rooms in the bar owned by Peyton, Danie on the floor was sitting with crisscrossed legs.


    Eyes were closed as she breathed normally.


    The quietness of the room was deafening, the type that could destroy one''s hearing.


    Surrounded by candles with different scent and face as peaceful as a baby in her sleep, the room ambience was a picture of serenity.


    Knock, knock.


    Danie slowly opened her eyes and jerked at the door direction. She didn''t bother getting up, the doorknob twisted and pushed opened by Peyton.


    Peyton''s face scrunched up in frustration. Danie suddenly showed up in her bar and upied one of the rooms. Not bothering to say hello or even ask if she can stay for free.


    And right now, she was at the same position as she was since she arrived, on the floor with candles around her making her look like a witch grooming something dark and fretful.


    Peyton closed the door behind her, in a few hours the bar will be opened. She thought Danie has left since she didn''t see her in this room for four days but seemed like she decided toe back and continue whatever witchery she was doing.


    "Danie what are you doing?" her voice sounded bored as so as her face.


    "Procrastinating," Danie replied without opening her eyes.


    "You''ve been procrastinating for weeks now, why are you doing that?"


    This was the first time Danie answered her since she arrived at her ce. Peyton didn''t know what went wrong and she didn''t dare to contact her friends.


    Walking towards her, Peyton sighed. It''s very rare for Danie to show up and when she did, she always needed something from her. Yet, the Danie in her bar right now didn''t need anything aside from the room she upied.


    She stopped when she reached the candles, Danie''s now pale skin illuminated by the dim fire of the candlelight. She looked otherworldly, even Peyton herself was mesmerized by her beauty.


    "Hey witchy witch, you have been staying in my ce for weeks, you need to pay me or get your ass to my bar and starts dancing," she picked up one of the candlelight and blew out the fire, one of the girls working in the bar quit yesterday.


    Peyton watched as Danie shove a hand in her bra and took out a credit card.


    The card flew in the air andnded in front of Peyton, she picked it up and stared at the name on the card.


    "Matthew Su."


    Her head tilted in confusion, "isn''t it your fiancé''s cousin?" she asked.


    "ex-fiancé" Danie corrected.


    Peyton''s brain stuttered for a moment and her eyes took more light than expected, her mouth was frozen wide open in an expression of stunned surprise. She stared at Danie''s face which was white as chalk, every part of her went on pause while her thought caught up her words.


    She blinked repeatedly, unsure of what to say next. Unlike Danie''s first break up where she went rampage putting a bomb in James''s car and sending the woman he slept with to a mental institution, she''s pretty calm this time.


    Peyton''s knees trembled weakly; she was more afraid of Danie''s quietness right now. Who knows, she might be nning on destroying the earth.


    "Should I," she gulped hard, afraid to snapped the anger hidden beneath Danie''s heart, "should I use this card to pay for the room?"


    With close eyes, Danie nodded and by that, Peyton walked towards the door.


    As she touched the doorknob, Danie called out her name.


    "Peyton, we will go undercover tomorrow. Destroy the card after using it."


    The voice was so close to her, so she turned around and found Danie standing behind her which almost startled her soul away. No emotion on her face while her eyes resembled a dead person''s eyes,pletely lifeless.


    Squinting her eyes, Peyton crossed her arm over her stomach, "undercover?" her eyes quickly shone in excitement. Going undercover with Danie was the best and adventurous time she ever had and it''s been years since they''ve done it together.


    "Alright. Are you nning to continue with your procrastination?" she asked with one brow raised.


    And for the first time since Danie appeared in her ce, she smiled.


    "No. My mind is clear now Peyton."


    "Good," Peyton cheered inside, "why did you choose me anyway?" Danie has a lot of friends willing to die for her that''s why she rarely asked for her assistance.


    "I need a killer and a s.e.x addict and you are both."


    "S.e.x addict, me? Don''t you think you are exaggerating it a little?" disbelief in her voice, Peyton pointed a finger at herself.


    Danie nodded casually, "you once drugged a man because you are so horny. You have a yroom full of kinky toys so if you''re not a s.e.x addict then what are you?"


    Peyton rolled her eyes, lips formed a pout, "I am not a s.e.x addict, alright? I just like..." she paused, gulped hard and continued with a defeated look, "ugh! I hate you."


    Danieughed, and in Peyton''s ears, it sounded like a broken train toy, emotionless and loud.


    "I will max out this card," she lifted Matthew''s card in the air, "can you hack his phone and confirm the transaction?"


    Instead of replying, Danie turned around walking towards the table next to the bed. She then took out a phone and handed it to her.


    "Don''t forget to destroy the card, we can only use it one time so make sure we have enough money to spend on the entire trip."


    "Wait, don''t you have money?"


    "I do, but it''s in Robert''s ount and I can''t touch it."


    Suspicious, Peyton rose a brow, "And why not?"


    "I don''t want them tracking me."


    "Are you sure?"


    "Yes," Danie''s patience started to run out so she blew out a sigh and held herself.


    "Peyton, I hid here because no one would ever think that I am here-" the rest of her words froze when she read Peyton''s mind.


    Peyton snickered, "you don''t want to use your friends'' card because you are afraid of getting track, yet you took your ex-fiancé cousin''s card and asked me to withdraw a lot of money. It sounds like someone''s not moving on."


    "I have moved on," Danie courageously met Peyton''s eyes. She had moved on, she removed whatever feelings she had for Evan by clearing her mind and not thinking of him made her think clearer. If she wanted to continue with her revenge, she must forget her feelings for Evan.


    "Are you sure?"


    "Yes."


    Peyton''s body froze when Danie suddenly snatched the card from her hand and destroyed it, then she threw it on the floor and smiled at her.


    "When I said I have moved on, it means I have."
