8. What The Hell Did I Do To Her?

Lucas' POV

Oh, good heavens, consider me intrigued.

I am left speechless, staring at the feisty-looking, energetic lady standing directly in front of the girl of my dreams with a maddened sort of expression on her face.

God knows that with her around I don't think I need to be scared about Flora's safety.

She's fierce. She's quick to make decisions. She is so agile, and good heavens, her fists are so strong as hell.

I think I lost a tooth or two from that impact.

I find myself laughing softly within.

Geez it even could force me to stumble backwards. I almost lost my footing.

I feel blown away. She is so amazing.

I never thought or imagined there would be any woman in this generation with this strong, fierce ability to stand and defend one another with a fight.

I chuckle and adjust my tuxedo when I notice the embarrassment on her face.

She seems a little bit apologetic right now and regrets her action but I am not about to let it slide.

I think I'm going to use it to torment her a little bit.

I just shrug.

"Yeah, you are right about that. It's one of a kind, and it has some sort of specific rule that if whosoever wearing it gets punched in the face, the offender will have to pay a fine of $20,000 for the damage."

She looks at me, stunned, with her mouth wide apart at my statement.

"Damages?? You've got to be joking. What damages? It was just a mere punch. That is so ridiculous, you know that right?" she says with nervousness etched in her voice,e, but I am not going to let it go easily for her.

"No, I'm serious about that. I'm not joking." I say trying to give off a serious kind of vibe to let them know I deeply mean what I'm saying.

The lady looks a little bit confused, and she turns around to look at Flora, who has a shocked expression on her face.

"You can't be serious for real, Lucas, okay? She just gave you a slight punch in the face. Not on the suit. What could have been damaged? Everything looks perfectly fine and all right."

Yeah, I know it sounds really stupid, but I don't know why I feel so elated to play a little game or two with these ladies.

I place my hands in my pocket and raise my eyebrows, scrutinizing both of them.

"You think I'm joking? All right then. you are going to see about that." I say and place my hand in my pocket bringing out my phone.

I type into the keypad enabling them to hear the sound before placing the phone in my ear.

The moment the phone beeps loudly, the both of them raise their hands, signaling me to stop immediately, and this forces me to smirk.

"All right. All right fine. We get it okay. It's all good. Yes, you are a millionaire, and we made a big mistake, all right. I'm sorry okay? Is there any way you can reverse it or something?" the lady named Serena is saying and I can notice her hands trembling visibly.

Wow. looks like she must have been so scared to offend someone so rich.

This forces me to laugh out loud as I return my phone to my pocket and wave at both of them.

"All right, it's okay, guys. Chill a little bit and live up. I'm just joking." I say and watch as the lady turns to me with fury on her face.

"You deserve an endless sea of punches for that, do you know?" she asks, but I shrug.

" What can I say? It's part of my mini traits. I am in Joker by profession."

She scoffs and rolls her eyes before turning to look at Flora. Then she continues to examine her as if watching over her child.

"Okay, now I'm here. Speak up. Tell me what is wrong. What did he do?"

Floral folds her arms and looks around. "I don't think I'll be comfortable speaking here. The walls have ears," she says and takes hold of Serena's hand about to lead her away from the restroom.

Oh great. Don't tell me she has forgotten about me.

"What about me? am I not included in this?" I ask and watch as the both of them turn their heads to look at me.

They scrutinize me deeply and after a very short while...

"No." they both reply in unison and continue their journey out of the restroom.

Wow, that was quick and decisive. I did not see that one coming.

I chuckle and follow them nevertheless as this Serena girl leads her out of the restroom and then finally out of the entire bar standing directly in the car park of the building where a black sedan is standing.

We are a few meters away from it when she suddenly stops and turns around to look at me.

"Are you seriously still following us? I've already told you you're not included in this okay? I don't care if you are some sort of high school friend or whatever shit, but presently, in her life, you are irrelevant."

Okay, that hurt.

I watch as Flora immediately takes hold of her hand as if telling her to calm down a little bit. Then she looks at me with a concerned expression.

"It's all right, Lucas, okay? I'm fine. You don't need to worry about me anymore. I'm just going to discuss with my friend about this."

" And then what happens next? Are you going to go back to that bastard's home?" I ask with the anger evident in my voice.

Serena frowns slightly and quickly turns to look at Flora.

"Does he know about him? What exactly have you told him that you haven't told me? Is this how you go about dishing out your problems to other people? You can't just trust anybody in this world."

" But I trust him," Flora replies immediately, and this makes me smile calmly.

"Yeah right. the fact that he was your old high school friend doesn't mean he can be trusted." Serena replies.

Why the hell is she so hard on me?

What the hell did I do to her?
