The Fate Of The World Is In My Hands, But All I Want To Do Is Eat! - Chapter 180

Chapter 180: You should talk about yourself more often Chapter 180: You should talk about yourself more often Alice sat by the mirror after putting on what Leo specifically took out for her to wear.

He knew she would’ve gone for something very comfortable, like shorts and her jacket, but they were on their way to meet the chairman of the association.

Even if he was friendly with her and they were going to his house for dinner, it didn’t hurt to be dressed nicely.

Hence, Alice was wearing a dress.

A nice white dress that Miss Stella bought for her, along with the rest of the nice clothes.

It was short and not body-fitted, but it was beautiful.

“I’m just about done.” Leo said.

He was helping her style her hair.

To think he would be well versed on how to style a young girl’s hair to match her clothing.

But Alice wasn’t even thinking of that.

Her mind was occupied by something else.

Leo noticed it and sighed.

He took his hands off her hair, placed them on her shoulders, and peered into the mirror to help her focus, his head leaning on hers.

“So, how is it?” He asked.

“Did I do a good job?” Alice snapped out of her thoughts and looked into the mirror.

She blinked twice to see he had actually passed her expectations, not that they were high to begin with.

But of course, she wouldn’t tell him that “Hmph,” she lightly stroked the strands of hair he left dangling in front of her face.

“It’s just so-so.” Leo’s forehead grew an irk right away and his grip on Alice’s shoulder hardened.

“Why, you little…” Alice laughed.

And because Alice laughed, he fell at ease.

At least, he was able to break her out of her thoughts.

“Let’s get going already.” He said and she nodded.

He turned her chair around and knelt down to help her put her boots on.

“Hey, you don’t have to do this.” She said, feeling his hand lightly caress her feet in an attempt to dust off any sand particles that might’ve stuck to her.

It was ticklish.

“It’s okay,” he said.

“If you were the one who asked for it, I’d tell you that you were trying to make a servant out of me, haha.” He laughed softly, his gaze still focused on her feet.

“But I’m doing this right now because I want to.

It’s basically my job to cheer you up if you feel bad.

Because your mood matters in this quest to save the world.” He said but Alice remained silent.

He wondered what she was doing and then, his intuition told him to move his head towards the right, which he did, avoiding Alice’s feet.

He laughed with his eyes closed.

“I assume you feel shit getting weird again.” He said and opened his eyes to find Alice flushed in the face and an expression that said she was going to kick his head off.

“Gosh, Leo, you’re so unpredictable these days.” She said as he took her lethal feet and blew on it, causing her to shudder but she did not take it back and watched him wear her boot on her feet.

“It’s almost like you’re…” “Flirting?” He completed her words and she covered her lips.

She didn’t want to say it because then it would get even weirder but Leo laughed it off.

“So, do you think I normally act all flirty because I’m interested in you or I’m just trying to mess with you?” “Hm, it’s definitely the latter.” She said and earned a finger flick up her forehead.

“Ouch, what was that for?” “Alice, I’m not flirting.” He said, his face suddenly looking serious.

“If I were, I don’t even know what I would gain from it.” “Then?” “I’m just taking care of you.” He answered and took her hand.

“Where I come from, we siblings live like strangers, and each of us has…” He paused.

“Just know that the only people I ever took care of are the humans of this world, but even then, I could never be this close to them because I was high above, and they were always below.” “In conclusion?” She asked and he let out a soft chuckle.

“You’re the first one I’ve ever been this close to.

And my actions are without motives as you just thought.

What I want is to have a harmonious relationship with you.” He interlocked their fingers.

“So, even when I act like this, I’m not trying to flirt, I’m just…

Being caring.” Alice went silent, staring at Leo with somewhat amazed eyes.

This was the first time Leo was volunteering to speak about himself.

Well, he did say he had a twin brother but that was just down vague information.

Right now, she heard more than she ever thought to ask.

Information was withheld and she could blame his concern on the penalty of knowing too much, but she was still glad.

Alice smiled at him and said, “You should talk about yourself more often.” She leaned her face close to him.

“And then I can have enough information to tease you with, haha.” Leo watched her smile genuinely and then closed his eyes slowly.

“You’re such an idiot.” He muttered, causing her mouth to gape in disbelief and shock.

“Why, you…” She was ready to pounce on him when her phone rang.

They both glanced towards the bed where her phone rang and Leo helped her out with it.

He got up from his knees and picked up the phone.

He checked the caller and said, “It’s from the auction house.” Alice’s eyes widened.

Geez, she felt she had been forgetting quite a lot of important things lately.

And now she remembered.

She was supposed to get a call from the auction house and also…

Find a way to dispose of the bottles of demon blood she bought at the bid.

“Answer it,” Alice said.

“Pretend to be my secretary or my assistant.

Just…

Do what those guys do in cool movies.” Leo tilted his head and then sighed.

This girl always knew how to get him to do her bidding.

He answered the call and said in a cool relaxed manner, “Hello?” CREATORS’ THOUGHTS Author_fredah Have some idea about my story?
