Capítulo 131: menace

Lucian leaned back slightly, raising his hands in mock surrender. "Don't look at me like that," he said, his voice calm but tinged with exasperation. "I have nothing to do with her. She's the one who came to me this morning. Out of nowhere! I swear, this was the first time we've spoken."

Arthur's eyes narrowed, skepticism replacing his shock. "And what, she's calling you darling ?"

Lucian nodded firmly, but his tone carried an edge of desperation. "Yes! She asked me to marry her, and I rejected her. That's it. End of story. I swear, I didn't"

"Darling, don't be like that," Celestia's voice interrupted, sweet and syrupy through the speaker. The sound made both men freeze, their gazes snapping to the phone. "We've become so close already, and I've told you, Arthur. If you don't believe me, you can check Lucian's underwear it's black with white stripes. I assure you, we have so much to do with each other."

The room fell deathly silent for a moment.
