Chapter 93: Would you like me to refill your glass?
“Miss Alice, would you like to join my guild?” Devon asked and Alice paused.
She was just about to stab her fork into the sushi.
She looked up at him and tilted her head a bit.
“Is this the context of our conversation?” She suddenly asked.
“Or are you just bringing it up as a side talk?” Devon didn’t know what she meant by that, but if she wanted to know if this was why he wanted to talk, then he guessed it was a yes.
“I believe it’s the context.” He said and she nodded.
“Hm, I see.” And finally, she stabbed the innocent sushi.
They stared at her, and Devon, in particular, wondered what that reaction was about.
Was it a good thing?
Could he continue speaking?
“So, what will it be?” She suddenly asked, after keeping the silence for a while and splitting the sushi with her fork.
“What do you think I could gain from joining your guild, Devon?” She slightly raised her gaze, glancing at him with sharp eyes and a little smirk on her soft cute lips.
Badum.
Where did that come from?
Devon couldn’t help but notice this small subtle movement, focusing his eyes on her eyes and then her lips that were slightly curled up.
She looked so good.
Realizing his thoughts, he closed his eyes and turned his face away, berating himself for even entertaining such thoughts.
“Miss Alice,” he called, still avoiding eye contact but soon turned his gaze to her as he knew it was inappropriate to speak to someone while looking away.
“I’ll give you whatever you want.” “Hm, such a tempting offer.” She said and finally took her first bite of the sushi.
The fish melted in her mouth like honey, giving her this thick yet soft taste to linger at the top of her tongue as she swallowed.
It was so good.
“Bless the chef!” She exclaimed and took another bite, forgetting that they were in the middle of a conversation.
Devon decided to put the conversation on hold, watching Alice with satisfaction as she devoured neatly, the food in front of her.
“Take your time, Miss Alice.
I’ll wait for you.” Mark also picked up the fork and decided to try out the dish.
He wanted to complain but it wasn’t like Devon was the chef, so his complaint would only get the chef in trouble.
He ate it and truly, it was good.
Tut!

He couldn’t even criticize Devon’s choice.
A few minutes later, Alice reached from the giant crab in the middle but Mark and Devon decided to help her get it since it was closer to them, and well…
They had longer hands.
They both stretched their hands out for the plate coincidentally, and, seeing the other hand on the plate, slowly turned to glare at the other.
“Let it go.” Mark said, not hiding his hostility but Devon smiled and said, “I think you should focus on your meal.
Let go and I’ll hand it to Miss Alice.” He said.
Alice watched them.
Na-ah!
There was no way her food was going to get caught in their little lover’s quarrel or whatever was going on with them.
She stood up, stretched her body forward, and picked up the plate.
“Thanks but no thanks.” She said and sat down.
“No food should be sacrificed for such a cause.” She said and stabbed her fork into the crab.
“Do you want me to help you peel it’s skin.” Mark asked but she shook her head.
“No thanks.” “Would you like me to refill your glass?” Devon asked and Alice nodded.
“Yes, thanks.” Mark was dissatisfied but what he was more dissatisfied about was the grin that Devon had on his lips, showing off that he now has the upper hand as he ordered a refill of Alice’s milk glass.
“Hah!” Alice exclaimed after peeling off the first part of the crab skin with just a fork.
She didn’t want to get her hands dirty.
This wasn’t fried chicken that she would need her hands for and also, she didn’t want to disgrace these two in front of her.
Not that she was trying to keep her image or so, but she was smart enough to know that acting that way, eating with hands in a fancy restaurant, was totally crazy and could hurt their pride.
They were men so she couldn’t tell what they were thinking.
“So, about the guild stuff,” Alice began, “Do I really have to join a guild?” She asked.
“Yes,” Devon answered.
“It’s mandatory.” “Hm, so there can be no exceptions?” She continued asking, fixing her eyes on the crab,’s inside.
“Miss Alice, joining a guild will help get the agency off your back, even if it’s just for a little bit.
You can’t be seen as a threat at all times.
Your peace of mind will be robbed.” “Hm, we can’t have that.” She said, finally tasting the crab.
“Wow, this is really good.” “I’m glad you like it.” Devon smiled and Mark rolled his eyes away.
“Anyway, that’s just about it.
You shouldn’t be forced to join a guild, and I know you can’t be forced, but then again, so many factions would want to recruit you and, hence, try different methods.” Alice kept nodding.
She was listening, but her mouth was full, so she could not respond.
“In any case, I wanted you to join my guild, so I can be assured that no one is exploiting you.
People are greedy for your powers and the things you can do.” He said and Alice paused.
She looked up at him, chewed slowly, and swallowed before glancing at Mark.
She looked at his face, wondering what he thought about this situation, and then back to Devon.
“Everyone wants to exploit me because I can do so much.” She said.
“They want to use my abilities for their gain and profit from it.
They want to have the name of the girl who cleared an immeasurable red gate all by herself in their guild and be pushed up to fame.
That’s their goal, right?” Devon nodded.
“Then…
What is your goal?” She asked and dropped her fork, gazing at him intently.
“Why do you want me to join your guild if not for all these things?” CREATORS’ THOUGHTS Author_fredah Okay, Devon.
