Chapter 456 False Positions
Levi’s eyes were alert, his tone not really polite: “What do you want with her?”
Ruby was positioned to the inside and could not be seen from the angle Hallie was standing in the doorway.
At that moment, the end of her eyes lifted and she smiled with a flirtatious tone, “Handsome, I’m not here to eat anyone, what are you so nervous about?”
Levi disliked such frivolous women the most, so he instantly raised his face and his tone became even harder: “Miss, please behave yourself.”
“Just because I address you as handsome?”
Unfazed, Hallie leaned against the door, her eyes falling on him frivolously, glancing from top to bottom.
“You’re so handsome, it is okay that I called you as handsome, but I’m curious, who are you to Miss Harold?”
As she had just come to the Institute, she heard that Ruby had arrived and was not aware that Ruby had come with Levi or that Ruby had been married.
At that moment, Levi’s brow frowned unnoticeably and said dryly, “I am her husband, Levi Finn.”
At that, Hallie was taken aback, “Husband? Miss Harold is already married!”
She only knew that Benjamin paid extra attention to this woman, but she didn’t expect that even though this woman was married and had a family, Benjamin still refused to give up.
So he wanted to hog this woman around even if it destroyed her family?
What about her? What was she?
A wave of unspeakable jealousy and pain twisted through her heart, and she gritted her teeth and did her best to suppress the emotions in her heart so as not to lose her temper.
At that moment, she forced herself to continue smiling condescendingly and said, “I see, it’s a pleasure to meet you.”
With that, she offered her hand, her red-painted nails eye-catching.
Levi only glanced at her, with no intention of reaching out to shake hands with her, his expression still very cold.
“Miss Hallie, if there is anything you want to say, please say it directly, it is no different to me than it is to Ruby, and I will pass it on to her.”
In a completely protective gesture, he shielded Ruby in the room, not intending to let this woman meet Ruby.
At this, Ruby warmed her heart, but felt little need to do so.
But she was already here, and sooner or later she would have to meet the people of this institute, and since they had come to her door, there was no need for her to avoid them.
Moreover, this woman flirted with Levi, making her slightly uncomfortable.
She would rather have the trouble of talking to this woman herself, face to face, than have this woman flirt endlessly with her man.Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
Thinking this, she coughed lightly twice to indicate her presence, and then walked forward and stood beside Levi, finally seeing the woman who called herself Hallie at the door.
Seeing her real face, Ruby raised her eyebrows slightly and had to admit that Hallie was really a hot beauty.
Just as she surveyed Hallie, Hallie likewise surveyed her, her gaze even interspersed with some studied scrutiny.
It turned out she was the one who made Benjamin long for and refuse to let go.
She had seen Ruby in the photo and felt a sense of crisis at that time. This woman was simply too beautiful, but she exuded a cool and clean aura that made people completely unable to take their eyes off her.
Now that she had seen Ruby in person, she realized she looked a hundred times better than the picture!
At once, a strong sense of crisis and jealousy raged and churned in her heart, stirring her up for a moment, her eyes faintly cold.
She didn’t say anything, but Ruby didn’t bother to glare at her and took the lead asking, “Miss Hallie, what is it that you wanted to see me about?”
Pulled back from her thoughts by her voice, Hallie pursed the corners of her lips, changed her posture from leaning against the doorframe and stood up straight.
She didn’t want to come up and lose her momentum on their first meeting.
However, she was not short, but in front of Ruby, she was still low, and could only slightly lift her chin to meet her gaze.
“Hello, Miss Harold, nice to meet you, my name is Hallie, I am from the same country as you, but have been living in Y Country for the past few years.”
Ruby gave a nod, no expression on her face, and said lightly, “You have just introduced your name just now, so what exactly is it that you have come to see me about?”
She pressed the issue again, clearly showing her disinterest in the other side.
Hallie’s expression froze, then returned to normal after a few moments, her lips curled condescendingly, her manner still polite and courteous.
“Actually, I just heard that a valuable guest, who is a woman, has come to the Institute, and as a woman myself, I thought I’d come over to have a look. You’ve just come to the Institute, you may not know the situation here is simply a monk’s temple, not even a female researcher has been recruited, so I’m bored alone. I’d come over to show my enthusiasm. You’re new to the Institute. You may not be familiar with this place, but that’s okay, I’ll have time to accompany you around whenever you want, and I can also give you an introduction.”
At those words, Ruby raised her eyebrows, as if accepting her words, and smiled, “Is that so? That would be great, I’m probably going to stay here for the next few days, it would simply be nice to have someone who could show me and Levi around.”
As she spoke, she glanced at Levi out of the corner of her eye.
Levi looked back at her, his eyes dark, his emotions deep, but he said nothing.
When Hallie saw that, she said, “Well then, it’s about to be noon dinner, why don’t you join me?”
Ruby didn’t refuse and agreed readily, “Sure, but I’ve just finished my examination and now I need to change my clothes, so I suggest we meet at the dining room.”
Hallie smiled, “No problem, I’ll be waiting for you in the dining room then.”
After closing the door, the faces of the three people inside and outside the door changed.
Outside the door, Hallie’s false smile faded in a flash, staring at the door panel in front of her, her eyes looking as if she wanted to poke a hole in it.
At last, I see you, Ruby!
I’d like to see what kind of magic you have that can hook Benjamin’s soul!
Since Benjamin is deliberately trying to take you into his palm, I’m sorry, but no matter what, I won’t let the two of you be together!
……
In the door, the curvature of Ruby’s mouth also tightened, and she turned to enter the bedroom.
Levi followed and asked her, “What do you think of that woman?”
Ruby sat down on the edge of the bed, her fingers pinching up a corner of the quilt and stirring it around.
“No comments.” She thought for a moment and replied.
