Todos los capítulos de Rebirth; Falling for my father's friend: Capítulo 11 - Capítulo 20

/-Miray-/Two days went by in the blink of an eye. And throughout those two days, I never laid my eyes on Lysander. It was as though he had disappeared to goddess knew where. I didn’t even see his shadow.If I didn't know better, I would have thought he had left. It was not like I cared, I was merely curious.What was he always doing?That man was always shrouded by a veil of mystery, one that seemed almost impossible to lift. The more I tried to figure him out, the more questions I seemed to have. Thankfully, the mark had finally begun to show signs of fading, although the change was barely noticeable. That man had almost bitten through flesh, so perhaps it was only natural that it was taking longer to disappear. Clarissa hadn't been staying at home since father left either. My GPS tracker was still on her, so I could tell she has been going to her company nonstop these days. I didn't do anything and just watched.I wanted to relax. Just when she thought things were back on track,

/-Miray-/I stared at the bouquet on my desk, my expression flat and unbothered. White roses, the kind that was meant to impress, but I didn't dare.Wasn't it just a coward who didn't dare to show his face?A sneer escaped my lips.No thanks. I wasn't interested. I picked up the bouquet carelessly, then dumped it inside the closest bin. The letter followed, tossed without a second thought. Elise stared at me, “You're not even going to read it?”“Why should I?” I retorted flatly. “If someone wants to say something to me, then they should say it to my face. Hiding behind flowers and letters is just too pathetic and annoying.”Elise shook her head, “What a pity. Such nice hand writing.”I gave her a look and she grinned, “Alright, alright. I won't talk about it anymore.”Till I died in my past life, I never got to know this mysterious person and I was never curious. That didn't change now, I didn't even want to know who the person was at all.I had other things to care about than some

/-Miray-/Of all people in the world, why did it have to be him?My heart gave a strange, hard thumb in my chest at the sight of Lysander after not seeing him for so many days already.My fingers slowly tightened around the edge of my seat.Lysander was the CEO?Then, why was he staying with us? Why was he showing himself now? Was he hiding something or hiding from someone?But if he really was hiding from someone, he wouldn't just appear in such a public setting.I glanced at him, unable to take my eyes away from him for some reason. He was still so handsome that it was surreal.I could hear the surprised gasps and excited squeals from the students around me, especially Elise who was practically shouting. “Gosh, how could he be so good-looking?”“Goddess, mere looking at him makes my heart race.”“And he's so tall!”I pressed my lips together, feeling unpleasant for a reason I couldn't decipher.Initially, I thought Lysander was never a public person, but it seems I was wrong. I nev

/-Miray-/We walked in silence, neither saying anything to each other for more than five minutes.I glanced at him discreetly and noticed how calmly he surveyed his surroundings, a thoughtful expression on his face and his hands tucked casually into his pockets. He wasn't doing anything special, yet he still looked as though he had walked straight out of a painting. Passing female students kept casting glances in his way, but he seemed oblivious to all this.With my lips pressed, I began pointing out buildings, and gave a brief description of the various departments. He didn't ask questions, nor did he make any conversation. He just walked. And it was honestly very infuriating. Couldn't he just show a tiny bit of interest? Or acknowledge that I actually existed?Yet, there's nothing I could do about it. The sky was clear when we began the ‘tour’ that didn't feel like one, but as we approached the research wing, the sky darkened in mere seconds.“We should get inside.” I said, pick

/-Miray-/The purpose of this second life was revenge and I had no qualms using my body as a weapon just to serve it cold. And since I already made up my mind, I put my plan to immediate effect the very next day.Staring at myself in the mirror, I nodded in satisfaction. To avoid suspicion, I was apparently decently dressed. But that does not mean I wouldn't expose some skin to tempt.My high-waisted jeans hugged my curves perfectly, accentuating every line and making my butt appear firmer. Over my torso, I was putting on a thin cropped top, showcasing my flat tummy and I intentionally didn't wear a bra underneath. So if you looked carefully, one would be able to see the soft outline of my nipple faintly visible beneath the fabric.Humming a random tune, I picked up the first aid kit and left my room calmly. Outside Lysander's room, I knocked once before pushing the door in.He was not inside, but I could hear the faint hiss of a running shower from behind the bathroom door. Reason
