Return Of The Heiress For Revenge - Chapter 84

Chapter 84: A Task For You

“You should try this recipe too.” As Mrs Jhonson pointed out, a maid came forward and placed the meat on Nora’s plate. “Good meat will help you in improving your health.” she offered a smile.

“Mother, you have forgotten about me completely. This is the fifth time that you have served her while I did not get a single chance.” Nora blinked, looking stunned. She could not believe that the voice came from a cold and aloof man like Victor.

But Mrs Jhonson did not seem to mind. It looked like the scene occurs often.

“You child! When will you grow up?” she sighed but her eyes were filled with love and warmth as she placed a ladle of soup in her bowl without waiting for the maids.

Nora’s hands paused as she stared at both of them. But her eyes stealthily moved to Mr Jhonson too. Was he this silent or he was brooding?

But the sweet chatter of mother and son made the place warm till the end.

“Victor will show you your room. If you need anything, you can tell her.” Mrs Johnson looked meaningfully at her son before wrapping her arms around her husband and leaving.

“You must not tell anyone about my house in the school.” he warned her with a sigh. “My mother loves to ruin my image.” His voice was beaming. Who would believe that he was hurt about it?

“Mmm.” Victor stopped and looked at her lost face. They were already standing in front of her door.

“If you are not sleepy, we can try a round of the game. Perhaps you know how to make it better?” Nora paused. Though she had played the game in her past, it had been so long that she only remembered the basics of it. She might remember more if she would play it. With that thought, she nodded.

“Great, i will bring the prototype.” he opened the door for her and left. Nora looked at the warm room. With bed, curtains and wallpaper pink and glittery, she looked at her strangely before going to the washroom. She splashed some water on her face. It made her feel much better.

There was a pair of pajamas and warm towels too. Hesitating for a second, she decided to change her clothes. But it was hard with one hand. Especially the part where she had to pull the dress of her injured hand.

When the door was opened and she heard Victor’s voice, she was struggling with buttons.

“Take you time, I will arrange the game by then.” Before she could say a word, his warm voice filled the room. Smiling unconsciously, she adjusted her dress. When she came out, Victor had set pillows on the floor with a large popcorn bucket and two glass of cold drink.

He looked relaxed and she wondered would she ever feel that relaxed again? In her last life, she had spent all her time being scared and cautious. While in this life!

“You are here” hearing her footsteps, he twisted her head and smiled at her. She smiled back and sat on the floor beside him.

“Here, guide me well.” he passed the cursor to her. She rolled her eyes and took it. How much time has passed as they were playing. She forgot the plan she had to execute until her phone rang.

She glanced at it before continuing the game.

…

“Hey? Were you not playing just fine? How did you lose suddenly?” he grumbled as he looked at the two large words on the screen. It was after a long time, he was enjoying it too much.

“I think i am exhausted now.” she took a big yawn.

Victor stared at her. He did not notice before but the top was too loose on her that it was slowly slipping from her shoulders. Her fair collarbone and shoulder bone was.. He looked away and coughed.

“Well, then rest. I will go to sleep too.” he stood up and left rubbing his neck. Nora saw him leaving. Slowly standing up and closing the door when he left. But the drowsiness vanished from her eyes the moment he had left, her eyes turned sharp and cold.

She adjusted her soiled clothes, bedheets and pillows making a figure on the bed and covered it with bedsheet.

She looked around. She had noticed a doghole when she had gone to the garden with Mrs Jhonson. She wore a mask and a cap to cover her face and using the darkness of the night, she vanished from the house.

The area was popular. She easily got the taxi leaving the house. After half an hour she reached a popular bar.

“SOLENE” the name was covered with dark red lights shining in the dark night. Her eyes reflected that name. She had come here for the first time yet she knew every nook and corner of this place.

The crowd was dancing on the floor. Smoke, sex and alchold had filled the air. The music was intoxicated. She walked to the counter and smiled at the waiter.

“One sex on the beach, please.” the waiter paused for a second and looked at the girl but it was hard to recognize her with her covered with mask.

“I am afraid we do not have that drink.” he refused but before he could continue mixing his cocktail, Nora took out a few notes from her pocket and placed on the counter.

“Perhaps this will change your decision.” the man stared at the notes and then stealthily placed them on his pocket. He passed her a drink. She nodded and then took a sip. Fixing the drink in one gulp, she stood up from the seat and left. But instead of walking to the exit. She took the stairs. Just as she reached the first floor, she took out a key from her mouth and opened the second last door on the passage.

“I have a task for you.”
