Chapter 139 Introductions!
139 Introductions!
Just as Luis was about to leave, he caught sight of the open door across from Alicia's flat and witnessed a red-haired girl stepping out in casual clothing.
'Hmm, perfect timing. Let's use this opportunity to get acquainted with her.' Luis thought as he observed that girl with a neutral expression.
Rura, who came out of her flat, felt someone's gaze on her. So, she turned to her right and saw a black-haired, handsome boy standing in front of flat number 1, and his gray eyes were looking at her with a calm expression.
'It's him!' She immediately recognized him. 'Luis Suarez, the top student of the entrance exam! He is from the Suarez Family of Tryston City.'
A powerful family, just like her Wayne Family. It's just that, unlike the Wayne family, that has the support of the Aiverson Royal family. The Suarez family has grown to this point because of Hero Henry.
Thinking of her Wayne family, Rura's mood became complicated. So, she decided to stop these thoughts and brought her focus back to Luis, who had been staring at her for a while now.
"Hello, Miss Rura." Suddenly Luis took the initiative to greet.
It did not surprise Rura that Luis knew of her. Her name as the genius alchemist is quite famous in the upper circles.
"Hello, Mr. Luis," Rura replied kindly. For this boy who had humiliated Thomas Aiverson in the test before, she still has quite a favourable opinion.
It surprised Luis when Rura didn't give him the cold shoulder. But he instantly guessed that it must be because of what he did to Thomas. Thinking so, Luis decided to make full use of this situation.
With a smile on his face, he walked towards her and said, "It seems Miss Rura knows about me. But I would still like to give you a proper introduction of myself so that Miss Rura doesn't think of me as an impolite person."
"I will not," Rura replied with an amused expression and waited for him to introduce himself.
"I'm Luis Suarez, from Aiverson Empire and a student of the same year as you. Happy to make your acquaintance and hope to be good neighbours for our academic year." Luis said very elegantly while showing a gentlemanly temperament. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
Hearing this, Rura also responded kindly with a slight bow, "I am Rura Wayne, from the Aiverson Empire, just like you. I also look forward to being good neighbours for the academic year."
After she was done introducing herself, Rura looked up into his eyes and said, "Now that the introductions are over. Can Mr. Luis tell me his purpose in approaching me?"
Even if she had a favourable opinion of him. It doesn't mean that she would let it slide when his intentional approach was so obvious.
'Hmm, so she decided to be upfront while showing her guard. This makes it easier!' Luis thought inwardly. While on the surface, he was taken aback and chuckled. "No, Miss Rura. I think you have misunderstood."
"Hm, is that so?" Rura said with a neutral expression as she stared at him.
Luis nodded and explained with a sincere expression, "Yes, I was just interested in getting acquainted with you."
"Hmm," Rura continued staring at him and a moment later she asked, "If I am not wrong, Mr. Luis is already engaged and has a beautiful fiancée. Is it alright for you to get acquainted with other girls behind her back?"
When he heard this, Luis chuckled and said while shaking his head, "No, Miss. Rura, I am not interested in you in that way. I do have a good relationship with my fiancée, and we get along quite well."
"Then what is your reason for approaching me?" Rura asked with some confusion and her guard eased up a bit.
Luis opened his arms and said with an honest expression, "Well, I was just curious about Prince Thomas' girlfriend."
"…"
A few seconds later, he heard Rura ask in a low voice, "… What did you say? Can you repeat that for me?"
'Oh, she is furious?' Luis laughed inwardly, but on the outside, he replied to her ignorantly. "Well, I said I was curious about Prince Thomas' girlfri-"
"WHO THE HELL IS HIS GIRLFRIEND?! DON'T TALK NONSENSE!" Cutting him off mid-sentence, Rura roared furiously. Her ruby eyes glared at Luis fiercely. Her breathing became intense as she looked at him with hatred.
She was just a step away from attacking him. If he didn't give her a reasonable answer now, she would show him the wraith of a genius alchemist. That was the kind of vibe Luis was getting from Rura's expression.
With some surprise in his voice, Luis asked with a confused expression, "Eh? Are you not?"
"OF COURSE NOT!!!" Rura roared.
"Oh, is that so? Prince Thomas told me you are his girlfriend. Did I mistake you for someone else?" Luis uttered with an innocent expression. There was also a hint of apology mixed in his tone. But obviously, that was fake. He didn't even bat an eye to shift all of Rura's anger towards Thomas with just his single sentence.
"No wonder!" Rura exclaimed while taking deep breaths to calm down her anger. She didn't doubt Luis' words at all. Because that was something Thomas could undoubtedly do.
'That bastard has now started to proclaim me as his girlfriend!' Rura gritted her teeth in anguish. At this moment, she really wanted to beat Thomas to death.
But of course, this is something she could only think about. In reality, until the day she is connected to the Wayne family, she is helpless against the Aiverson Royal Family.
While Rura was cursing Thomas in her mind. She heard Luis' words of apology.
"It seems that I had misunderstood, Miss Rura. I apologize." Luis said with a serious expression.
*Sigh* Rura sighed helplessly and said while shaking her head. "This is not Mr. Luis' fault. This misunderstanding happened because of Prince Thomas."
"I apologize for losing my composure and shouting at you. Allow me to make it clear, I am not Prince Thomas' girlfriend. This is just his self-proclaimed statement."
