THE EMPEROR'S LITTLE MISS

CHAPTER 22: The Kidnap

Christian snickered. If he had know that all it would take was Susan for Lionel to sit up, he would have told her early enough so that she would knock some senses into him.

Ah.. he knew how men became when they were in love, but he never thought of Lionel same as other men. Who knew that he was exactly like others.. maybe even more.

Because only a finished man would need to wait to get something in return inorder to save his company.

When Lionel told him to go earlier, he agreed but while leaving he suddenly remembered that Lionel had drank. With the Sil tower in problem, they had to be mindful of their every behavior so as not to get into more trouble.

In the car, Lionel kept smiling like an i***t, making him cringe.

"Go to the hospital".

Christian frowned at the order. After his promise, he thought Lionel would set plans in motion, and quickly do something to revive the company.

Why did it look as if all what he said was just for show? It better not be...

In her car, Susan touched her lips in a daze. She could still feel the warmth of his lips on hers.

Probably it was expected that she would slap him after he kissed her forcefully but she felt the idea was stupid.

It would be too embarrassing and hypocritical to slap him when she was moaning to his kiss without restraint.

Just... She didn't understand what it was, he made her feel a certain need. She wasn't resistant to his touch nor his kiss, both when she was drugged and today.

The reason why she stayed alone at that time when drugged was because she had been a 100 percent sure she could not be coaxed into doing anything by anyone.. but with him, she was like a crazy witch, clinging to him and refusing to let go..

One thing she was sure of was that she didn't like him, she would know if she did.

His body maybe?

Yes that must be it. He had a body anyone could die for, and his cologne was as intoxicating as hell. It made her lose her senses when ever she got close to him.

Seems like she needed to quickly find a man and fall in love with. It was too scary for her to crave the body of man like him... She would be squashed under his broad frame.

She laughed at her own foolish thought.

She got to her hostel and lay flat on her bed. It was weekend so Gabrielle went back to parents' Stacy on the other hand has always been on and off, she almost never saw her, therefore she was alone in the room.

These days in school has been a lot more peace probably because it was test week. Lucy has gone back to her usual innocent girl behavior fortunately she nolonger disturbed her.

The reason she didn't go back home was because she has a flu and had also lost some weight recently. Call her stupid for such an excuse but it is what it is.

She was her mother's only child, one gotten after series of miscarriages. Her mom would panic when she got bitten by a mosquito, not to talk of something as big as having a flu and losing weight.

Her mom's health has always been poor to begin with so she was used to avoiding anything that would make her worried.

The case of that attempted kidnap was a mistake and can totally not be used to judge her personality.

Of course her mom asked why she wasn't back, and she made up a random excuse of having make up classes for some courses she did not understand fully. She was really getting better at lying...

Nextweek was her birthday so she had to get well as soon as possible. It would be a disaster if her mom cried on her birthday...that lady was a river of water. Her tears were always unexpected and unending.

...

Weekend flew by uneventful and soon it was time for hectic lecture days. Today they had anatomy test and even as freshers who were still in their first semester, they were tasked to dissect a rat.

Yeah... So much disrespect to that animal. It's always a rat.. lab rat this, lab rat that. Even when it's not really a rat.

The test didn't go too well for most of them, making the lecturer so angry that he scolded them, almost to the point of scolding their parents. He was a grumpy man to begin with so it was not unexpected.

"This course is after my life. How do you manage to stay calm after everything ? Everyone is freaked out after that hell!"

Gabrielle complained.

She had puked so much that her face turned green.

Susan felt pity for her. Any more, and she'll puke her intestine.

"You just have to get used to it. It's our first time anyway, soon it would not be a big deal".

Gabrielle gasped for air after puking for so long. "I would never get used to this. I don't think I can even eat with my hands anymore after doing something so disgusting".

Gosh! She hated her life right now. Touching any part of her body made her cringe because she felt her hands were impure.

Susan smiled enigmatically. She wouldn't know when, but she would get used to it quickly... It was the same for everyone.

God designed it this way... He also got used to humans' misbehaviour, so much so that he overlooks it unlike in the past.

"I need to go shower at home. Just washing my hands isn't enough. I feel like something is crawling up my skin every moment ". Gabrielle complained and left without giving her any chance to say anything.

Susan shook her head with a smile. It was not unbearable for her because signed up for it on her own, unlike Gabrielle who was forced.

Sh always felt grateful for having parents like hers. She was sure that even if she wanted to be an actress, although dissatisfied, they would not stop her.

And they also never imposed their decisions on her. Well... Apart from that one time when her father thought of it, but in the end he did not.

She walked to the library and took a sit close to the window. This was her everyday routine..

She liked it here because from the window she could see the endless sea of flowers.

It was where the horticultural department planted their flowers. The breeds were unique and beautiful... Being this much, made them more beautiful.

The school had large acres of land so it was not a big deal that this one was spent on planting flowers, infact it added cultural beauty to the school.

When it was 7 pm, she packed her stuffs and prepared to leave. As she opened the door to leave, something was sprayed on her face, making her pass out.
