Chapter 85

Arthur immediately pulled out his phone and sent her a text message with the number while | only watched.

“Hey, what about you?” He suddenly asked.

“Me! | dont have a car to wash” | answered and he touched my nose playfully.

“So, where's your mobile phone. | want to have your contact,”

| shook my head. “Well, | don’t have one, because | couldn't afford one at the time.”

My mother and | couldn't afford a mobile phone at Alpha Griffin's house. We were simply too interested in doing

our jobs and eating a good meal to bother about that

| wanted to tell them that | had a phone in my previous life when we; Eros, Arthur, Beauty and Adonis were all

living together, but certainly, if | tell them now, they would freak out.

Beauty’ eyes went sad. “how about | buy you one?”

I shook my head. “Thank you so much, but do not worry, | should get it for myself soon

But she was persistent “con, please. We need to stay in touch with you, and having a mobile in these

modern times is;

necessity”

Beauty then suddenly cup with an idea. “Eros, can we take her along with us?”

Eros was busy doing something on his phone but looked up when she mentioned me. And it was then that he

finally looked at me. It had only been a day that he had not looked me

It felt like years to me.

His eyes bore into mine and a lot of emotions erupted withinat once. But his gaze didn’t stay onfor long.

He looked away just after a second and | felt all my hopes and feelings crumble.

Why doesn’t he seethe way | see him?

“No, it should be only us, you know that.” He said, making his blunt rejection hurta lot.

Beauty placed a hand beneath my chin. “Oh con. Look at the poor girl. She just had her first shift. | can

message her important stuff without having to meet her in person every time.

“What important stuff?” | asked and Beauty only mumbled, “I mean, girl stuff, you know”

Eros shrugged and walked outside the door, “If you are not coming. | would go alone

“Wait, Beauty said and draggedalong with her.

Eros had climbed down the front steps of the porch, while Beauty draggedand said in a loud voice.

“She is coming with us. | just asked the car guy to pick up my car from here. | don’t have a car to take her to a

shop now.”

Eros pinched the bridge of his nose, “Then get her the phone tomorrow. What's the big deal about it?”

| felt very bad with the way Eros was suddenly treatingand Liried to speak to Beauty.

There is no need for it, Beau. You can go to your meeting. | told you | would get a phone sometime.”

Meanwhile, Arthur who was silent all this time, cup with an idea “Hey, | have an idea. | can take her to a

shop withand get her a mobile and a sim card.

You guys can go to your meeting wherever that is

Beauty perked up at that. “Oh, that is great. Well, then that is settled.”

But Eros suddenly interjected, “Arthur, | had asked you to do something.”

Arthur nodded his head vigorously, “I know. King The task will be completed today itself and then | will take Eden

outside. Arthur suggested but apparently Eros did not seem happy.

At that smoment, Beauty's phone beeped and she checked a “Oh shoot. | totally forgot | had to go to the

saloon today: I'd booked in advance

Eros rolled his eyes, “You cannot be serious now, Beauty. This meeting is important.”

Beauty quickly typed something on her mobile and was done “See. | just messaged them to change the meeting

to a later date. They agreed also.

Eros was apparently done with their stupid behavior so he just muttered “You know what? | will go to my office

and get that file completed.

He had begun walking outside but Beauty stopped in front of him “No, you are not going in. Just work work all

day. Go outside, step in the sun a little

Eros smirked, “What am 1? A vampire?”

Beauty rolled her eyes, You know what? | will get Arthur to dropto the saloon while you go get the mobile for

Eden” “What?” | blurted out and then quickly bit my lip but apparently the shock and unwillingness were evident

in my voice. “Yes, she is going to need your help. | noticed how you both are not even talking to each other from

the past half an hour that we four are here.

King Eros did not reply but he simply climbed up the stairs and went in through the door.

“Eros, please. You know why | am doing this,”

Eros dropped his shoulders and looked at her miserably, “I really don’t see the need for this, Beauty,” And the

way he was showing his discomfort and absolute disinterest was starting to irk me.

“Beauty, | do not need anything. | will go to my room and get ssleep” | said because | didn’t want to hear

Eros keep stating reasons to not be around me.

It was hurtingand | had no clue what | had done for him to suddenly be so aloof. Even Arthur turned around

withand we both entered the mansion.

| said. “We can discuss my training regafter you finish your work. | need sguidance”

Arthur nodded as head and replied, “Givetwo hours. | will also detail a diet plan for you and create a training

schedule. for you.

| smiled in delight. “You are the best

From the corner of my eyes, | saw that Beauty had walked in too and she began chatting with Arthur.

He looked atwith a soft smile and mouthed

“No problem,” before heading in the opposite direction with her And, | decided to head towards my room but

“Get inside the car. Now!”
