Chapter 88
Kace watched as Derek grabbed Allison’s hands and pulled her away with him.
His eyes narrowed again at how tightly his grip tightened on her arm.
Kace knew where he stood in this kind of situation. He didn’t have any feelings for her, neither was she his friend, so he couldn’t interfere in their talk.
But one thing didn’t settle well with him, Allison had a boyfriend, and one that could be mistreating her as well. An image of the dark spot that was on her neck appeared in his mind.
Instead of leaving, Kace decided to wait for them to finish talking. He wasn’t going to interfere but he wanted to see if he would do anything to her, or give her a bruise.
Kace walked over to a bench and settled on it. Almost immediately, some girls rushed over, requesting a picture with him. However, he rejected them all, his mood having turned sour.
He saw a girl wearing shorts so skimpy they could hardly be called shorts anymore, looking more like panties. She had black wavy hair and was striding confidently toward him in high heels.
“Hi, sir. You were the one who was talking to that girl earlier right?” Olivia asked Kace with a flirty smile on her lips.
Kace simply ignored her, focusing more on the path where Derek and Allison had disappeared. He wouldn’t want to miss both of them coming out.
Olivia was immediately offended when Kace ignored her. She pushed her chest forward so that her bust would catch his attention.
“You are the youngest son of the Wallace family, right? If you are, that means your family must be rich, right? Wow, are you interested in my friend?” Olivia asked.
Kace stared at her. “You are Allison’s friend?” He asked her.
Olivia immediately nodded as if waiting for that question to be asked.
“Indeed I am,” she replied, taking a seat close to Kace. He had to wrinkle his nostrils due to how strong her perfume was. “Are you her new boyfriend?” Olivia asked, trying to engage Kace more into talking to her.
When Kace didn’t reply to her question, she added, “You see, Allison is my best friend and she has this kind of reputation for going out with men even though she was already dating Derek p>
“Why are you telling me this?” Kace nearly snapped at her. He only wanted to sit there quietly without having someone interrupting him, but it seemed the devil wanted to mess with him by sending one of his advocates.
“For your good, sir. If you have eyes on her, I would suggest you look away and search for someone better,” she replied, puffing her chest a bit more as if it would turn invisible if she didn’t. “There are many good girls out there, sir. If you search better, I’m sure you will find someone better than her p>
“Someone like you?” Kace asked.
Olivia was quite taken aback by Kace’s question. She expected him to guess but with the tone he used while asking, it made her want to move back a little out of fear.
“Look lady,” Kace started after having had enough. “Don’t you think it’s disgusting of you to be saying that about your “best friend”?” He asked, air-quoting the best friend.
“I just want to save any guy who is close to falling into her trap p>
“As was? As an angel of God who has a pure heart?” He asked, sarcasm evident in his tone. “I can see exactly where you are going with this little act of yours. But I don’t want to waste either your time or mine, so I’m going to politely ask you to leave,” he requested.
Olivia frowned deeply with a little hint of shock because he didn’t fall for her.
’I didn’t try hard enough,’ she thought to herself.
She managed to pull a smile on her lips, not wanting to insist and miss her luck for next time.
“The offer is always open, sir,” she said, winking at him before leaving.
Olivia intended to shake her ass as she walked away, hoping it would entice Kace. But when she turned around to see if he was looking, his eyes were already somewhere else. She huffed before leaving completely.
“Doesn’t this university have a dress code anymore?” Kace couldn’t help but wonder out loud.
Kace continued to glance at the path where Allison and her boyfriend had disappeared. When he saw her walking out, he quickly stood up from his seat and walked towards her.
Surprisingly, her supposed boyfriend didn’t come out along with her.
Kace had thought Derek was going to shoo him off with a warning or something.
“Allison,” Kace called. He saw her halt before turning to look at him.
“What are you still doing here?” She questioned him.
Kace scanned her body. When he didn’t find anything out of place or any bruise he hadn’t seen earlier, he internally sighed in relief.
“I wasn’t done talking to you earlier, when your boyfriend interrupted us,” he replied.
Allison’s eyebrows furrowed in confusion as she stared at him. Releasing a heavy sigh, she shook her head slightly as if tired of dealing with him already.
“There’s nothing for us to talk about,” she said, about to leave but Kace grabbed her hand.
Instinctively, she yanked her wrist out of his grip.
“You just saw earlier that I have a boyfriend, right? Why do you keep disturbing me p>
“It’s that simple, I want to be your friend. I mean, yes, you are Selene’s make-up artist but I think the both of us can be friends,” he said. Allison cocked an eyebrow, not buying his words at all.
“But I just told you I don’t want to be your friend. If you are looking for a girl to toy with, you’d better look somewhere else because I’m taken, Mr Kace. If you don’t stop bugging me, I will report you to Miss. Selene,” she threatened.
She didn’t stand to see his reaction and walked away. Kace didn’t give up at all. He still followed behind her, but maintained some distance this time around.
