Chapter 9
408 Words
The scene was a large room with a red curtain at the middle.
A blonde haired lady wearing a long red gown sat at the dressing mirror combing her long hair as she hummed a song.
The double door burst open. A dark skinned man in a black tuxedo suit rushed in.
“What’s the hurry, Jerome?” Ashley asked still combing her hair.
“My lady....”
Ashley turned her gaze from the mirror to the butler who was looking pale and scared.
“Have you brought good news?” She asked.
“My lady......”
“Or did you let her slip out of your fingers again?” She asked before he could reply.
“Lord xander was in the way again” Jerome finally breaks the news.
“I thought he came back few days ago, l thought the little witch was all alone” Ashley said with a not so surprised look on her face.
“So you failed again” this time her gaze turned deadly.
Jerome falls to his knees
“One last chance my lady and I promise I won’t disappoint you” he begged.
“Rise up, it’s not your fault, you couldn’t stand your own against an elder, I’ll confront xander myself” she said as she returned to combing her hair.
“One more thing my lady” Jerome said still on his knees.
“Go on” she replied.
“The case has been closed, I think it’s part of lord Xander’s plan to keep the triad away from you” Jerome said.
“Is that so? And he thinks he can keep her from me for that long? Do you think he can?” Ashley asked.
“No my lady” Jerome replied.
“I’ll have her blood in a golden cup at least to honour our beloved lord xander, her blood wouldn’t go to waste just like that” Ashley said with a grin.
“We need one more human bait to stair up another case, I bet he can’t cover up the case if there’s too many of them” she added.
“Yes, my lady” Jerome replied. He got up and turned to leave.
“One more thing, do not forget to make wine out of them, hmm?” She said with a wide grin.
Jerome only nodded and walked out of the room to carry out the bidding of his mistress.
