100 Days to Seduce the Devil

Chapter 775  A Strong Desire To Know Her

Day Eighty-One…

~~******~~

Hanabi returned to her residence to pack her things. She would return to Country M, continuing her task of protecting Abigail. Abigail's engagement party was drawing nearer and nearer.

Ding! Dong!

Hanabi was interrupted when the doorbell rang, capturing her attention. She didn't know who would drop by her place at this hour.

She stopped what she was doing and she headed to the door. She opened it only to be surprised by the person standing outside.

"Alexander? What are you doing here?" Hanabi asked him in disbelief.

"I cto see you. I've heard you are flying back to Country M tomorrow. Did I disturb you?" he asked her.

"Yes. You did. But how did you know my place?" Hanabi eyed him suspiciously.

"I asked Spade to locate your address using your phone number," Alexander admitted.

Hanabi just looked at him with amusement. She stepped to the side, inviting him in. "Cin."

Alexander obediently followed her as he entered the house. It was just a small bungalow house and he could tell that Hanabi was living alone.

He sat down on the sofa while Hanabi headed to the kitchen to get ssnacks for her unexpected visitor.

Hanabi returned holding a cold canned beer and a bowl of potato fries. She served them on the small table in front of Alexander.

"So, why did you cto see me?" Hanabi asked him again.

"You still oweda servitude… I'm here to request your presence for tonight. I'm attending a party… can you be my date?" Alexander directly informed her what he needed from her.

Cough! Cough!

Hanabi choked on her cold drinks when she heard his last remarks. 'What? He wantsto be his date. Is he serious?'

"Why me?" She couldn't believe this. Alexander had women subordinates who could join him. But why did he have to choose her to be his date for this party?

"Because you are my slave… and I feel comfortable in your presence," Alexander confessed.

Hanabi blinked several times, her mouth agape from surprise. She didn't expect that Alexander would be honest enough to tell her those words.

"I brought your dress and shoes. They are in my car. I also booked a Salon for your hair and makeup. You have nothing to worry about. All I need is your presence. Will you be my date tonight?" Alexander asked her again, his eyes fixated on her face.

"Sigh. I think I don't have the right to refuse since you've already mentioned that this was part of my punishment for losing our bet."

Alexander's lips curled up into a satisfied smile. "Yes, you were right. You can't say no. You are obliged to join me. But I'm not that inconsiderate. That's why I am asking you if you are willing or not."

"Hmm, well, I'm free tonight so I can join you," Hanabi agreed to his request.

"That's great!" Alexander was happy with her response.

"What tare we going to meet later?" Hanabi checked the ton her wristwatch. It was still 3:00 pm. "I will bring you to the Salon at 5:00 pm and we will go to the venue by 6:00 pm. I'm going to stay here in your house," He declared.

Hanabi: "..."

'What the hell? He wants to hang out here in my house. He wants to hang out here in my house. Doesn't he have anything to do in his office?'

"Alexander, I'm not done packing my stuff. Do you mind if I'll just leave you here as I pack my clothes?"

"Sure, I'll just wait here. Don't worry about me. I will make myself feel at home," he assured her with a friendly smile.

Hanabi just sighed helplessly. Alexander was acting a little bit strange today. What had gotten into him?

As Hanabi headed to her bedroom, Alexander went out to get her dress and shoes for tonight's party.

"Should I bring this to her room?" Alexander contemplated for a moment. But in the end, he decided to put the paper bags on the table. He waited for Hanabi to finish what she was doing. Alexander stayed in the living room. It did not take long before he suddenly felt sleepy. Getting tired since last night, he eventually fell asleep on the couch.

Hanabi took her forty-five minutes to finish packing her stuff and taking a quick shower. When she got out of her room, she headed to the living room to check on Alexander.

'I wonder what is he doing right now. Did he get bored waiting for me?' Hanabi pondered to herself.

She made her way to the living room only to be surprised to see Alexander in his deep slumber. "Eh? He fell asleep."

Alexander was sprawled comfortably on the couch, his features relaxed in the embrace of sleep. The faint sound of his steady breathing filled the room, punctuated only by the occasional sigh.

Meanwhile, Hanabi stood by the couch, gazing down at Alexander with a tender smile. His usually cold expression was softened in slumber, the lines of worry smoothed away. Instinctively, she reached out to brush a stray lock of hair from his forehead, her touch feather-light.

"You sleep like a baby," Hanabi softly mumbled, holding her giggle.

She took a moment to study him, her eyes tracing the contours of his face. There was a vulnerability in his sleep, a fleeting glimpse of the man behind the mask of strength. For sunknown reason, Hanabi's heart fluttered at the sight, a warmth spreading through her chest. She found herself captivated by the quiet beauty of the moment.

"I never realized how handsyou are when you're asleep," she murmured, softly caressing his face.

She felt a flush rise to her cheeks, but there was no one there to hear her confession. She was glad that Alexander was sound asleep and that he never heard her compliment. She checked the ton her wristwatch. "It's 4:25 pm. He still has enough tto rest. I will not disturb him for a moment."

Hanabi's eyes lingered on him for a few minutes before she turned around to leave. She was unwilling to disturb Alexander's rest.

But the moment she walked away from the living room, Alexander opened his eyes, a cheeky smirk playing across his face as he watched her retreating back. He heard her words of compliment as he just pretended to be asleep. 'This is the first tI heard her acknowledging my handsface. I really thought she only likes women… beautiful women.' Alexander couldn't help but smile at that thought.

'Perhaps… I can make her change her preference. She might start liking me. Maybe I can make her like a man.' Alexander suddenly felt confident with himself.

He didn't know what had gotten into him. But he could tell that Hanabi had caught his interest. For the past few days, he tried to focus on something else, but Hanabi kept popping into his mind lately.

He didn't expect that he would feel a strong desire to get to know her more. And he was always looking forward to seeing her and spending twith her. This was one of the reasons why he chose her to be his date tonight.
