The petite woman had a ruffled halter dressed on, and her collarbone looked particularly alluring this late at night… Shaking the thought off, Kevin then glanced past her—looking into the room—before asking, “…Is Xavia not back yet?”
…So, he was here for Xavia… Though she was slightly disappointed, she continued smiling as she replied, “She isn’t… In fact, she just sent me a message saying that she won’t be back for a while… Is there any particular reason you’re looking for her…?”
“It’s nothing major,” said Kevin who had honestly come over just to tell her to be a bit more discreet with her actions. After all, when he headed to the hospital earlier, he found that many of the girls—who were from wealthy and reputable families—either had broken fingers or were bleeding rather heavily. All in all, their injuries were quite serious. Had Kevin not suppressed the news, the consequences would’ve surely ended up becoming much direr.
Whatever the case was, since Xavia wasn’t here, there was no need for him to stay any longer. Realizing that Kevin was leaving, Dolly anxiously called out in a timid tone, “…U-um… Wait! You’re leaving already…? Why… don’t you stay for a chat…?”
Turning to look at the slightly hesitant girl—whose eyes were looking at him expectantly—, Kevin paused for a bit before replying, “I don’t have anything to talk to you about. Aside from that, I’m not interested in doing anything with my acquaintances, so please don’t expect anything out of me.”
His sharp words made it clear that he had no interest in her, and Dolly couldn’t help but feel stunned. He… Knew she was interested in him…? Actually, hold on, what did he mean he had no interest in doing anything with his acquaintances?!
“…Are you saying you’ve done ‘things’ with those you don’t know…?”
“Do you honestly think I wouldn’t have any women at my age?” replied Kevin.
…That made sense… Disregarding his age, he didn’t look like a single man either… As they said, the greater people were, the more casually they treat things in this aspect. Though she understood that, Dolly couldn’t help but feel slightly upset when she heard him say that.
Keith himself simply ignored her before turning around to leave. To his surprise, Dolly suddenly ran in front of him before declaring, “…Then… let me be your next woman!”
Understandably startled, Keith eventually replied, “…Do you even know what you’re saying?”
“I do. Besides, we’re not acquaintances, and I’ve simply taken an interest in you. I’m fine sharing you with other women as long as I can be with you,” replied Dolly in a timid voice as she boldly placed her slender hand on his shoulder.
Truth be told, she had thought that she’d never set foot into this mansion again after ridding herself of Jenna’s identity. Looks like she simply couldn’t avoid this place…
Watching as Xavia—who was looking around in the antique room—then sighed, Keith was prompted to ask in a concerned tone, “…Not used to being here…?”
In response, Xavia indifferently replied, “You already know I’ve been here for a while back then. Why even bother asking…?”
“…You’re a really straightforward person, you know? Either way, go get some rest first, Miss Lockhart… Call me if you need me…,” said Keith.
“…Wait, you’re leaving just like that?” asked Xavia as she walked over and closed the door.
Her actions and words instantly caused a different atmosphere to fill the room. Now frowning, Keith couldn’t help but wonder why she was persistent in having him stay the night. What's more, she had closed the door when there was only a man and woman in the room… Could it be that…?
