CHAPTER 2: Perfect
It was dinner time at Faith's house, and since her family was quite close to the Ml's, this would be the first time she would be seeing him in the flesh.
The Overseer was very excited.
And as expected, upon seeing him, she could see he was perfect.
His beautiful ice cold blue eyes! His chiselled jawline and black tousled hair! His handsome figure which was being hugged by a suit! And finally his natural frosty disposition!
Ahh, exactly as he should be!
Faith smiles, and watches as the family takes a seat.
Look at him, throwing her a calculative gaze! He obviously wants to get back at her for what she did to the fl!
Ahhh, so very ml like!
This is how the ml should be!
Cool and overbearing!!!
If Faith's eyes could shoot stars, they would be, as she was staring at Kris with such a passionate gaze. Usually she would be more subtle when checking him out.
This made Kris frown.
As usual the parents would converse first, setting the mood for everyone else. "It's been too long!" Kris' parents greet. "How are the kids?"
Faith's parents quickly respond. "Oh you know, the usual. Erik is doing well. He'll probably be inheriting the company next year."
"Oh congratulations! That's also when Kris will finally be in full control. Cheers to another close year, ay?" They all clink glasses, with the younger generation included.
There were no minors here. So everyone could drink.
The Overseer found the taste to be quite strange. She never had to eat or drink when she was in the void. However now she could.
She was drinking her glass like as if it were water. Pouring herself more when it was empty.
Erik, immediately notices her actions and hurries to step in. In a low voice he whispers, "what are you doing? Pace yourself! Although this isn't anything heavy, you're a lightweight, remember?"
Faith was stunned. She looks at her glass and finally realises what she was doing.
She was drinking the famed alcohol. The stuff that makes humans groggy, and that cannon fodder like her use to slip a aphrodisiac typically in.
Her eyes began to shine in awe, as she downs another cup.
Her brother pinches her thigh obviously unhappy with her.
Faith finally decides to put the glass down, before taking a bite of her food.
This was the first time she ever ate.
And it was delicious. She immediately fell in love, and began to eat the food and incredible speeds. Still, she was a neat eater, and not a single crumb could be seen falling onto the floor.
Kris seemed shocked with her change in demeanour. Whenever she was usually in front of him, she would be more poised and lady like.
Just what game is she playing at?
Does she think doing this will make her more attractive?
He frowns determined not to be swept up into her pace.
Erik and Kris converse a bit more about their businesses, however the time has finally come for Kris to confront Faith about Mary, in an indirect way.
Because at this stage him liking her was not something people generally would know.
He glances at Faith's shinning smile with a cold gaze. He wanted to break her smile into tiny little pieces for making his Mary cry. "I heard something interesting today, wanna hear it?" This sudden change of topic raised alarm bells for Erik, however playing the good host he carefully sizes Kris up.
Faith stops eating to look at him. It seems he's finally going to let loose.
About time!
She was dying from boredom, trying to bait him out into the open.
Kris gestures to Faith. "I heard you slept with someone's boyfriend. Faith, how could you sink so low?" His mocking words and disdainful gaze could make any girl feel ashamed.
Erik was offended on Faith's behalf, however just as he was about to defend her, Faith smiles. "Oh? And I didn't know you could sink so low as to believe in rumours." She takes a sip from her glass, maintaining eye contact with him.
She watches his cold smile falter with a devious gaze.
She may be a ultra fan of the guy, however that doesn't mean she'll let him walk all over her. In the end she is the owner of this world, and if she wanted to be so wilful, she could have him killed.
Kris was taken by surprise by her show of wit. He didn't know she could retort so well. However this surprise quickly turns into anger. "Do you really think I wouldn't first validate the rumours? Of course what I say is the truth."
"Well then unfortunately for you Mr Reeds, but it seems your sources are quite untrustworthy." Faith swiftly quips back.
Kris narrows his eyes at her. How could he be wrong!? He got the information from Mary herself!
Erik hurries to butt in. Calling him by his last name makes them seem distant, which isn't good for business. So he hurries to address him by his first name. "Kris, calm down. I apologise for Faith's behaviour however she is probably a little drunk. You already know she's a lightweight and is a little too honest when intoxicated. So do excuse her." On the surface he seemed to be apologising, however his hidden meaning pointed to him siding with Faith.
The man's sources were skewed.
Kris laughs harshly. "True or false, I wouldn't risk my reputation for her behaviour. Erik, when you take over, you better get a better grip over her actions. Otherwise she'll end up causing you disaster."
Erik smiles thinly. "Thank you for your concern." He gestures for Faith to leave the table. She should retire for the night.
Faith shrugs and stands up, however before she leaves she points to her face and complains in a very loud voice. "But brother! I'm not drunk! I promise! All I did was go to a karaoke bar with a friend! How was I supposed to know ambiguous photos would circulate? We did nothing wrong! I didn't even know he had a girlfriend or i wouldn't have went out with him. And then at university, I received a big slap on my cheek!! Look it hurts!" Faith suddenly bursts out into tears.
Both Erik and Kris were stunned.
Naturally their parents heard everything.
"What did you say happened!?" Mr and Mrs Lorm exclaim. Immediately their gazes land on Erik. "Erik, what nonsense is your sister spouting? Who would dare hit her?"
Before Faith could create an even bigger mess, Erik gestures for the maid to take her to her room while he cleans up after her.
Once alone in her room, Faith laughs.
The look on all of their faces was priceless.
It seems the fl and her friends will get the retribution they deserve.
The only fault with Faith, was that when she would scheme she wouldn't use any of the good resources around her. However the Overseer wasn't like that.
She already knew which thigh was the best to hug.
Afterall, even Kris has to respect the older generation. Unless he wishes to be labelled as unfilial.
They are the perfect weapon to use.
