The Princess And The Lord

1267  Warning

Not long after, the waiter came with a tray and carefully placed the tea set on the table. The waitress was then about to ask Sean if he wanted to order anything as well, however, she was startled once she realized who the man was. Instantly the waitress's face turned red from the mix of excitement and shock, "Oh my...uhm, Mr. Lockwood, would you like anything?" the waitress looked flustered even though she tried to keep her professionalism.

sean was already used to the waitress's reaction therefore he didn't pay attention to it, "Can I have double espresso,"

"Right away Sir!" the waitress's voice noticeably higher as she was too excited.

The waiter left with a giddy expression obviously she was very excited to have the opportunity to interact with a big celebrity like Sean, after all, Sean was known as the heartthrob of every woman, therefore, the waiter's reaction was expected, on the contrary, he didn't expect the bland reaction from the woman sitting across from him. Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Sean could understand that not all people would be excited about meeting him maybe because she was a hunter thus she didn't care about a celebrity like him even so, the woman didn't look curious, suspicious, or even wary of his sudden approach only a bit...impatient.

Sean watched Lory spoon three sugar cubes into her tea. One can imagine how sweet it could be thus Sean subconsciously commented, "Isn't that too sweet for you?"

Lory didn't even bother to glance at him, Lory then proceeded by adding two teaspoons of honey to his tea after that she slowly stirred the tea slowly with a blank expression. Once she was done she continued by taking off her sunglasses and putting them on the side after that she lifted the tea mug with both hands and then took a a long sip. Once the sharp sweetness hit her tongue, Lory could feel all his senses finally awakened.

Lory took a deep breath after feeling a little better after getting her sugar intake for the day. Lory then realizes the piercing gaze at her face she then turns her gaze towards the handsome man with sharp ice-blue eyes. Lory studied the man in front of her for a short time before she concluded that this man was still far inferior to her husband in both appearance and demeanor.

In the end, no man is better than her husband!

"What do you want besides disturbing my morning, Mr. Wood?" at other times Lory might be friendlier but this morning she was in a cranky mood, she wasn't in the mood to make small talk with anyone.

Sean was surprised at how blunt Lory was but instead felt annoyed he thought it was quite refreshing, "It's Lockwood, you can call me Sean"

Lory raised her eyebrows, she wondered why this man was acting so friendly with her, "If you don't have a purpose I hope you can leave, I want to enjoy my breakfast."

"What a coincidence, I haven't had breakfast either," a charming smile swiped across Sean face.

Since she was in a bad mood, Lory didn't bother to be polite, hence she bluntly said: "I mean alone, Mr. Wood" Lory deliberately mispronounced his name to show her displeasure.

Instead of being angry Sean guffawed later, he looked at Lory in amusement "Pardon me, I thought you were a kind and generous person, Miss Jane"

"I also thought you were smart, Mr. Wood, it seems we both guessed wrong" Lory sneered before calmly taking another sip.

"Because we were both wrong, we can start getting to know each other from now on, what do you think, Miss Jane?" a charming smile bloomed on his handsome face that could make any woman shrill in excitement.

Unfortunately, Lory is not like any other woman. Casually she waved her left hand showing off the sparkling wedding ring around her ring finger "Sorry, I'm Married"

Unfortunately, Lory is not like any other woman. Casually she waved her left hand showing off the sparkling wedding ring around her ring finger "Sorry, I'm Married"

Sean knew Lory was married but he was keen to test her, with a cheeky smile he said: "I know, I don't think it's a problem, right?"

Wild passionate sparks filled his ice-blue eyes offering a dangerous temptation that was wild and uncertain yet exciting, any woman would helplessly fall at this kind of seduction, but what kind of relationship did Zhao Li Xin and Lory have? They have gone through hell and fire together, and against all odds they have conquered impossible obstacles one by one even the word love and devotion are not enough to describe the bond between them.

Alas, Sean didn't realize his flirtatious words had directly insulted the bond between Lory and Zhao Li Xin. Soon after Lory's eyes turn icy cold "Watch your words, Mr. Wood"

Lory slammed the mug on the table loudly after that she took twenty Roms from her back pocket and threw it on the table as she stood up from her chair ready to leave.

Not yet getting what he wanted Sean didn't want to let Lory go causing him to reflexively extend his hand to grab Lory's hand. However, but just when his fingers touched Lory's wrist, Lory suddenly turned around then grabbed Sean's wrist, with loud sounds she slammed his hand on the table so hard it knocked down the tea mug, yet she didn't stop, Lory grabbed the fork on the table then stabbed it between Sean middle and ring fingers. "Next time you touch me, you won't be so lucky, Mr. Wood" Lory's eyes glint dangerously she had no hesitation with her action. Finally, she let go of her hands from Sean's Afterwards she left with a calm pace as if nothing happened.

The room became completely silent, the hotel staff watched as Lory stabbed a fork into Sean's hand until several people gasped, thankfully Sean rubbed his hands together as if he wasn't injured, immediately everyone breathed a sigh of relief, thankfully nothing happened, cause if something bad happened to Sean, his fans and the press will blame the hotel management and if that happens then they will be the first to blame.

"That went well" Andreas appeared with a smirk across his face, then calmly pulled the chair across from Sean.

"You think?" Sean snorted while wiping the spilled tea on the table.

A moment later several waiters came together, they cleaned the table from spilled tea. At first, they looked a bit hesitant but after quick thought one of the waiters pulled the fork from the table as if it was nothing then deftly returned everything to its original position then placed the expresso coffee that Sean had previously ordered on the table. They worked quickly with straight faces then the other waitress turned to Andreas with a courteous smile. "Do you want to order something, sir?" "I got the same thing as him," Andreas said.

"Certainly, sir," the waitress nodded politely before excusing herself.

When the waitress left the corner of his lips trembled, and before long he burst out laughing, "Looks like you are not as charming as you think you are, huh? Sexiest man alive!~" The sound of his boisterous laughter filled the room which was starting to get busy with newly arrived guests.

"She might just play hard to get it," Sean pulled the fork from the table calmly and then neatly returned it to the previous place.

"Then I want to see what she will do when she really gets you," Andreas said with a mocking tone.

Sean sips the coffee ignoring Andreas's comment, he smacks his lips before slowly putting down the coffee cup after that his expression becomes serious, "So, what information do we get about my feisty girl?"

"Interestingly.... nothing" Andreas paused for a second before he continued "And not only her, I got the same results about the other two men that follow her"

Sean's brows knitted together forming a question "Nothing? really?"

"Sorry, I mean nothing concrete," he corrected it, "The information says Garrof Colt and Lloyd Sloan were class A hunters before and after the war, they took many dangerous jobs from various guilds, it said they are from the Gregorian city. They don't have families, children, wives, girlfriends, or anything that can confirm their identity, in short, there is nothing that stands out in their profile but that also means that most likely this information is fake, who knows if that even their real name, that's why I said we don't have definite information about them,"

"What about Miss Jane?" Sean continues.

"Even worse, we couldn't find their picture nor her husband, I think someone is deliberately covering their tracks, therefore further investigation is needed to ascertain the background."

"Yeah, we have to do that" Sean was adamant.

Not long after the waitress comes delivering another cup of coffee. After the waitress left Andreas continued their conversation "So, do you still want to recruit her despite knowing nothing about her? From how it looks she won't be easy to persuade either,"

Sean turned quiet as he calculated his next moves, though he knew it wouldn't be easy to persuade her however the woman's abilities and character aroused his interest greatly as he rarely met someone who was not only had a powerful gift but also able to remain calm and cool-headed under enormous pressure, especially at a time like this when people like her quality is almost scarce, thanks to the Dark Ages war that caused many powerful people to die.

"You witnessed her abilities yourself, are you willing to let such a great talent go, just like that?" Sean believes Andreas thinks the same way as him.

Indeed Andreas cannot deny he is also very interested in the woman's capabilities. If they can rope her into their group without a doubt she would be a very valuable addition to their group.

"Then what do you plan to do after pissing her off?" Andreas said sarcastically while sipping his coffee elegantly.

Sean pursed his lips with a troubled expression. Actually, he didn't plan to make him so angry but he didn't expect his joke to cause such a strong reaction from him, he thought Lory would at most ignore him but he was completely wrong.

"First of all...I will apologize" Sean massaged his forehead.

Andreas stifles a chuckle "Nice plan, good luck with that"
