Chapter 74: Sorry For Admiring Another Man
Is it still possible for to dodge this question? Should I pretend to be deaf? Is it too late for to pretend that I have class now? Where is the bell when I need it? God, I miss high school bell...
“Don’t try to avoid the question.” His voice snapped out to reality. I didn’t even need to fake my expression as I was sure I put on a stoic expression on my face. Whatever reaction he caught in my eyes –and I was sure he could see my eyes wavering slightly as he was blessed with those incredibly amazing sharp eyes– I wouldn’t deny it.
I had no reason to do so.
So be it, if he wanted to know about Tom. But, I would be passive, just answering his questions. I wouldn’t say anything unless he asked it.
“So, what did she an? Is there any boys in your dormitory?” Sanji asked. His eyes peered through my eyes, trying to figure out what I was thinking, probably.
“Yes.” I replied. “And no.” I added.
He frowned. “A ghost?” He asked. I was not surprised he would think so. After all, we had one thing in common; sixth sense.
.....
I shrugged my shoulders. Tom was not particularly a ghost, though.
“But, I didn’t see anything attached to you.” His frown deepened.
That’s new, but I guess I was right about Tom was not an ordinary ghost.
“Is he bothering you?”
I shook my head.
“Then why did she ntion about him? Do you have any relationship with this particular ghost?”
His eyes were looking straight at , probably wondering the answer himself by searching for it in my eyes. “I don’t know.” I shrugged again.
“Jane, you know you can tell anything, right? Don’t hide anything for . What if it becos bigger and endangers yourself? I prefer you to tell anything. Especially since your sixth sense has not been fully opened.” Sanji softened his voice, trying to persuade .
I held back the urge to roll my eyes. What’s wrong with him now? I had never thought we were that close for to talk about anything to him. Not even because my sixth sense had not fully awakened. He might want to keep safe, but I wouldn’t let him do anything for now. He didn’t need to know more about Tom.
“Sure.” I nodded, showing a small smile to him.
Sanji smiled back at . His smile was so calm and tender, but sohow I had a feeling that he still hid sothing behind his smile.
“So, when will you treat to a dinner?” He grinned and again, I felt the invisible flying daggers were thrown towards .
“I’ll let you know when the ti cos.” I smiled. Could those girls summon up their courage and face Sanji directly instead of directing their anger to ?
“I know it is annoying, but bear with it.” He said in a low tone. His grin was still plastering on his handso face. I needed one second to understand what he ant by that.
His grin turned into a soft smile. “They can be annoying, which is why I still haven’t had a girlfriend until now. Of course, part of it because I’ve already engaged to you, but the thought of having a girlfriend did cross my mind for several tis. I hope you don’t mind.” He added the last sentence quickly.
“I don’t mind at all. I an, I didn’t even know I’m already engaged.” I shrugged my shoulders.
“Well, even though it crossed my mind for several tis, I haven’t had a chance to do it. Mostly because these girls put a scary standard on who should I date. Not that I must follow their condition, but they managed to scare the girl I was close with so far.” Sanji let out a bitter laugh.
I was amazed seeing him so calm even though he felt sad with the outco. He couldn’t sue them for scaring his potential future wife, but he also couldn’t do as they liked.
“Don’t you feel angry?” I asked. “You know, you could pursue the girl and protect the girl from your fans, you know? What if they did sothing harmful to the girl?”
“Well, that’s the point. I had no idea how they managed to scare those won. They didn’t harm them, not even a bit. But, the next thing I know, the woman whom I was dating had avoided like I was so kind of disease. I couldn’t even sue them for harming people. That’s why I’ve been thinking, since they wanted to avoid , then so be it. There’s no point for to keep chasing after them. I don’t want to waste my ti to convince the woman to stay with . If she doesn’t have the guts to stay with , I won’t waste my ti either.” Sanji explained. There was bitterness in his voice, but his voice laced with determination at his last sentence.
“But again, maybe it was the way my destiny is. I couldn’t find any woman since I have been engaged to you. So, I don’t really feel lost. After all, I still have you as my fiancee, right?” He shot his beaming smile and for a second, I felt like I was blinded by him.
How could you be so good-looking, Sanji?!
Tom, I’m sorry for admiring another man...
