Chapter 20 Reina (Part III)



"Reina, how is your meeting with your father?"

"It went well."

"I see. Then I will leave you two on your own."

"Charles, I will see you at a later date."

She exited the room and headed out. Reina and I were the only ones left in the room. The atmosphere between us was tricky.

"Why don\'t we go to the garden and speak there?"

The garden was only outside of the living room. Going out, Reina and I walked side by side. The view of the garden was amazing.

I, too, wanted a place like this. I hope Aled could make one similar to this. The place was filled with many bright flowers. Each tended with care.

"You heard our conversation earlier. So, what is your opinion on it?"

That\'s right. Reina, halfway into the story, was listening to Jennifer talk. Since she didn\'t want to barge in, she had listened wholly.

"My brother must be killed."

"I see..."

Even after listening to her mother\'s story. Reina\'s decision to kill her brother was unwavering. Does hatred drive her? Or was there something else?

"May I ask why? I doubt your hatred is the only reason you want to kill your brother."

"That\'s right. My emotions that are being suppressed will be freed once I kill him."

Is that how it works? How was she so sure that would work? Is Reina\'s skill related to everything that has been happening so far? With how everything has been going so far, I wouldn\'t doubt it.

"How are you sure your emotions will come back, just from killing him?"

"I just know."

"You knew this situation was going to happen. Why didn\'t you tell me? If you want me to kill your brother, you should\'ve prepared me for this."

Reina stayed silent, hearing me say all of this. What a complex woman to deal with. I hope this stress won\'t get to me.

"If you\'re not going to tell, you should up the reward as compensation."

She looked at me, unsure of what to do. Since she had caused me so many problems, I would egg her for more rewards.

"You need to compensate me for all the stress you\'re causing me. Your mother\'s story had made my heart throb a little."

"Killing your brother would make me feel bad, so you have to compensate me."

In the end, Reina caved into my persuasion. With me earning a few hundred million bucks, I hugged Reina tightly.

Surprised by my action, her eyes widened, and she blinked, unsure of what to do. Her face was blushing a bit. In the end, she is a girl. Even with her suppressed emotions, she should feel embarrassed being hugged by an attractive male.

"Miss Reina, dinner is about to be served. Why don\'t you get ready before dinner starts? I will get our guests ready."

A butler, someone near our age, had come. He was average, one where you could see everywhere. Ranking in the 10B, he was near the middle of the ranking.

With that said, Reina left for the second time. Dinner? Looking at the time, it had passed by in a blink of an eye. To me, it felt like minutes.

Anyways with Reina gone, the expression of the butler changed. He was now hostile with Reina away. What a sudden change of expression.

"You\'re Miss Reina\'s boyfriend?"

"Yes. Yes, I\'m. What about it?"

"Break up with her. You don\'t deserve her."

My mouth had moved upward, showing a smile. It wasn\'t like I was really in a relationship with her. Reina was the one who caused this.

"Do you have feelings for her?"

The man winced as I said that. For the butler to fall in love with her master. How tragic. He does even less for someone who claims I don\'t deserve her.

"Even if I did break up with her, it\'s not like you would be with her."

"From the expression alone, she judges you as just a servant—nothing more, nothing less. Her mother had approved of me while you\'re here trying to play tough."

"You should know what society this is. You could never get the approval of the Burgess family with your pitiful rank."

What I said was true. I doubt anyone in the family would let this butler be in a relationship with Reina. He has no qualities to be a member of a wealthy family.

I didn\'t need to curse him. He was already pitiful enough to forever watch his loved one from the side.

"Anyways, I\'m going to leave. Your attempt to make me back off is pitiful."

Even if I didn\'t know my way, being with someone hostile was uncomfortable. I made my way back to the living and hoped Reina would return.

After twenty minutes of browsing on my phone, Reina returned with a dress. Wearing a blue dress, I could say it fit her nicely.

Reina returned and looked confused, wondering why I hadn\'t changed.

"Your butler didn\'t help. And I don\'t want to snoop around."

"Do you know where I could change?"

"Follow me."

Following Reina, we went into a changing room. With many suits in the closet, which one should I choose? Does it matter?

"Are you going to watch me change?"

Reina stood there once we entered the room. Hearing me say that, she exited the room. I wasn\'t that picky with what I wore.

Getting the one that fit me best, I took a black suit and wore it. With me wearing it, I got Reina back in.

I doubted that I would need to style my hair. With my preparation done, Reina held my hand and dragged me out of the room.

"The both of us are going to a restaurant. My parents are busy with tomorrow\'s schedule, so they won\'t join us today."

With tomorrow being the big day for the Burgess family, many preparations would need to be made.

I wondered how it would pan out with Tristan, the heir of the Burgess family, dying on the day of inheriting his family business.
