Oregon
“I'm sorry that I'm late," I said, panting heavily. Chloe looked up at me with a smile on her face before shaking her head.
"It's fine. It's only right if I waited for you. I still can’t believe this though," she chuckled, looking shy.
"What can't you believe?" I asked, and she swallowed hard
"I can't believe that the Lycan King wants to eat dinner with me, when I'm just a maid servant.” she said, her voice low and soft.
"Oh, come on, the reason why I asked you to have dinner with me is because I wanted to apologize sincerely for how my wife treated you," I answered quickly.
"I still don't get it though.” she said, and laughed. "The Luna never did anything so why are you using that as an excuse?” "I saw the way she glared at you for no reason. It seems like she doesn't like you,” I said, a smile running across my lips.
Chloe looked away and scoffed silently before returning her gaze to me. "Let's say that is what we both think. What do you think people will say or have in their minds when they see us having dinner together?" she asked, her eyes almost giving a glare.
I laughed hysterically and shook my head. "I'm not a fool. Look around! Don’t you notice anything different?" I asked, and her eyes scanned the whole place. When she finally understood what I meant, her eyes blinked rapidly.
"Why... Why is everywhere quiet? Where is everyone?" she asked
"Are you just noticing?” I laughed, walking up to her. "I made everyone leave so that I can eat alone with you. I wouldn't want those eyes looking at us for no reason."
She swallowed hard, still looking around and I saw the confusion and disappointment on her face "What is it? Isn't that what you wanted?" I asked, making her jerk out of her deep thoughts.
"Oh, yes. This was exactly what I wanted, thank you,” she replied, a forceful smile crooking her lips. "Anyway, I'm very glad those prying eyes won't see Us, and nobody would have to gossip. No wonder that I didn't see anyone when coming in. I thought they were a few customers, that's why."
"Let's go and eat already. They already made the food and it's waiting for us on the table. We wouldn't want it to turn cold and pale, you know,” I said, and she chuckled.
"Yes, sure," she said, rolling her eyes.
We got to the table and she was astonished to see the various food on the table. "Wow." she muttered. "Do you like what you see?" I asked, smiling warmly.
"Yes," she giggled, and sat down.
I sat down at the extreme, opposite her. "You don't have to wait. Start eating immediately!"
"Oh, yes, I will but firstly, can I use the bathroom?" she said, standing up instantly.
"What?" I muttered.
"I will be real quick. I really can't hold it anymore," she said, curling her feet.
"Yes, sure. Go on.” I said, and she bowed before running off.
"That isn't even the way to the bathroom,” I whispered, as she disappeared from sight.
I sighed deeply and shook my head. Without even waiting, Istarted <> eating, and after a few minutes, Chloe-came to me, and she was surptised to see that I had eaten quite a lot.

"Did you start without me?" she asked, disappointment in her voice.
"Yes," I replied, chewing loudly. "I couldn't wait for you any longer."
"Huh," she Murmured, a frown NN almost ‘occupying her face. "I didmt even waste time. Are you sure that this is a dinner, King Oregon? We are supposed to eat together... ~~
"You had better start eating before eat yourst00," I retorted, eating 2 < another Spoonful. "Or, have you forgotten that the cooks have-gone, and-there will be no one to cdok anather for you if I finish this food.”
She groaned and started eating. and I saw how bitter she was. My eyes went down and I decreased my pace of chewing, I was eating slowly now.
"You didn't go to the restroom, did you?" I asked, and she quickly looked at me.
“Huh,” she murmured, and my eyes went up to her.
"Where did you go, Chloe? You lied that you went to the bathroom.” I said, my eyebrows knitting in anger.
She chuckled nervously. "I don't know what you are talking about. I went to the restroom and that was it," she said.
"That is the way to the restroom,” I snapped, pointing at the opposite side of where she followed. "Yet, you followed the other way, why?"
She looked around and swallowed hard. "Actually, this is my first time here. I just eased myself on the floor since nobody was watching."
"Didn't you see that sign?" I asked, pointing at the sign, which said, Restroom.
"I didn't see it. I was in a hurry.” she said.
“You were definitely not in a hurry to urinate, Chloe," I whispered, and her shaky eyes looked at me.
"I really wish I understand what you are saying, King Oregon. You know what, I don’t want to eat again. I have lost my appetite,” she said, and stood up.
The instant she did that, Vivian appeared in front of us. Her eyes looked moist and red, and her eye bags seemed to darken the more.Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.
She looked depressed and angry.
“Oregon, how could you," she blurted, as tears ran down her eyes
"Vivian," I whispered, standing up. "Please let me explain.”
"No, I have seen everything myself. She also told me all I need to know," she said, pointing at Chloe.
"So, you told her everything via message. That was the thing you did that made you hurry, huh?" I yelled and Chloe trembled.
"Listen to me too, Vivian. I can explain,” I said, walking closer to her but she shifted backwards.
"No, Oregon, No. It's already too late." she whispered, as the tears left her eyes.
"Please..." I pleaded, trying hard not to cry.
“Oregon, It isn't too late to break our bond, right?” she asked, and my heart skipped.
