Chapter 33 - Something's Going to Happen

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

This was the first time that Luna had followed Alexander to discuss forming a partnership. So she felt that it was better for her to be décor.

She didn’t know why but Master Gideon’s eyes would always end up on her, and it made her very uncomfortable.

Could it be that Master Gideon was an old pervert? If not, why would he keep on watching her?

Due to her suspicion, she gave Master Gideon a few more glances.

However, Master Gideon wouldn’t lock eyes with her as they discussed the data that would give her a headache. He didn’t give her any chance to test him at all.

Luna was also quite impressed with Alexander. Not only did he not go crazy looking at those things every day, but he was also quite an expert in it too. He was very good.

However, despite her wanting to stay silent, Master Gideon seemed to have a good impression of her. After he had decided to work with Alexander, he then began to change the topic and spoke about her instead, saying, “Despite your youth, you have good eyes! Your form is light, and your breathing is light as well. It’s quite difficult to find someone like you.”

Luna felt a bit embarrassed at the praise and said, “You overpraise me. I’m not worth all these praises.”

Master Gideon then said that “Alexander is very fortunate. There might not be another woman like you in the entire Zenthia.”

Alexander was still quite calm. He didn’t feel triumphant at Master Gideon’s praises and instead said, “Others have always misunderstood Luna. I thank you on her behalf for acknowledging her.”

Luna drank her cup of tea quietly.

She knew that Master Gideon was very knowledgeable, but she hadn’t expected him to see through her.

“I wonder if you’re interested in tea?” Master Gideon said as he looked at Luna. “I have some good tea in my home, perhaps you can bring your wife along to have some tea, Alexander.”

Luna felt a little bit confused. The way that Master Gideon looked at her was not right. What did he want to do? Why did he suddenly offer her something like that?

Her heart skipped a beat, but she agreed to it eventually.

When they were leaving, Master Gideon was opening his car door when he suddenly turned around and gave her some advice, saying, “Little girl, while you might gain something because of fate, you should still give it a thorough consideration before you act when dealing with some things!”

His words struck like lightning, right into her heart.

He didn’t call her madam and didn’t call her Ms. Brooke.

Those eyes of his felt like they could see through her soul.

Luna shuddered. Master Gideon knew where she was from!

She wouldn’t believe in things like this in her previous life.

But even she managed to be resurrected. If she still did not believe in things like this, it would be too much.

Alexander looked at Luna who had a layer of sweat on her forehead and became worried. “Why aren’t you getting into the car?”

Only then did she regain her senses and get into the passenger seat. “I- I’m fine!”

Despite saying that, her fingers were all locked together.

Why would Master Gideon say something like that?

What did he want to do?

Or something she had done accidentally offended him?

There was nothing more terrifying than the unknown, even though she was no different.

Once Alexander pulled the seatbelt, he suddenly moved towards her.

Luna cried out in shock, “What are you doing?”

Alexander’s face was very close when he answered, “Helping you with the seatbelt. What else?”

Only then did she remember that after she went in, she had forgotten to even pull the seat belt.

“Thanks.” Luna felt a bit awkward.

“What happened?” Alexander asked in confusion after he helped her with the seatbelt. “I feel that you’ve been restless since just now.”

Luna shook her head and said, “Maybe… because I have a heatstroke!”

Alexander looked at the darkened sky and asked with doubt in his voice, “Really?”

Luna said, “Yes. I’ll be fine after some rest.”

Alexander started the car and suddenly said, “Luna Brooke, do you remember your promise to me? You’re supposed to tell me everything!”

Luna choked at the words. “Of course I remember, but I’m fine…”

Alexander glanced at her. He opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but no words came out.

Both of them returned home. After greeting Mrs. Niles, Luna directly went back to her own room.

Mrs. Niles looked at the closed door on the second floor, then asked Alexander worriedly, “Mr. White, the madam looked like she’s quite sick. Is she alright?”

Alexander didn’t say anything. What could he do?

After a moment, he looked at Mrs. Niles and said, “I need to go back to the company now. Take care of her. Give me a call if there’s anything awry!”

Mrs. Niles said okay, but she was quite scared.

Could it be that the madam’s sickness was returning?

On the second floor, Luna switched on her computer and began reading through websites about the paranormal.

But after reading for about two hours, she still didn’t know how she was discovered.

“Possession, possessing another person’s flesh. Unless there is some special way, they would not be able to leave the flesh forever.”

Looking at the post’s final sentence, Luna was at a loss.

Special way? What special way?

Many web users also asked the question, but the original poster had never replied to the post.

Luna investigated the background of the original poster but realized that the person who had posted it was no longer alive. No wonder no one replied to the questions.

“It seems that I have to investigate Master Gideon then.” Luna sighed.

While it was fine for her to just hide, she didn’t like running from her problems.

And looking at Master Gideon, he was not someone that she could just run from.

And what did he mean by the final part of his sentence? To consider throughly before she acted?

Due to her being an assassin for a long time, everything she did went through thorough deliberation before she acted.

So that advice was useless to her.

Could it be that Master Gideon didn’t know who she was, but he had some other revelations?

Luna slapped her face, wanting to wake herself up.

After so long, this was the first time that she felt her life was being threatened.

It was also the first time that she felt uncomfortable about living the life of another.

A pleasant ringtone rang and she quickly picked up the call. “Hello? Melody? What’s up?”

“Have you read the post? Eve is on our local message board!” Melody said, her tone somewhat excited. “There are so many posts that are talking about her. Someone who was present even made a video of her, you should go take a look!”

Luna answered, “Sure.”

“What happened? Why do you sound sick?” Melody felt somewhat suspicious. “Did someone wrong you?”

Luna was quiet for a moment before replying, “It’s fine. Heatstroke. I’m not feeling well.”

After asking about her conditions, Melody quickly hung up the call.

Luna opened the message board and it was just as she had said. The name Eve Brooke was all over the first page.

“Ugh. How can she be so confident showing her face?”

“A great example of a b*tch in sheep’s clothing! She looks so flirtatious!”

“Those who plagiarize must die!”

“…”

Although the scolding helped her feel better, for some reason, she suddenly felt something uneasy in her heart.

It was like something was going to happen!
