Chương 52: 20. Narcissistic
Looking upward at the man standing on the helicopter's open door, Layla felt helpless. She shot a hateful glares at the Viper when she heard the woman cackled, making a funny noises behind.
" Tut, tut, tut...he's coming for you, babe. Why so sour? You should be happy, no?" Viper stood beside her, hooking her hand around Layla's shoulder. She tilted, enjoying the sour mood of her longest time rival, Winter.
" Shut up! It's none of your business." Layla hissed, aching to choke this snake to death.
Adrian saw how close Viper and his wife standing side by side, making his hands itching to throws someone into the sea to feed sharks. He felt displeased, and annoyed at the woman blatancy public display of 'affection' with his beloved wife.
He took a hold at the wire prepared for his landing, and jumped at the high of almost hundreds of feet from the sea levels. His wife cleverly found this open ceiling sea cave to hide, however, it's not wide enough to fit the helicopter to descend in between. He saw the jet capsule on the side, thinking the smart moves Viper made in hijacking Layla's escape route. This made his displeased mood turned to better.
At least, this woman knows how to trap someone as smart as his wife. Halfway downward, Adrian made a swing and landed safely few meters away from her.
" Wife..." He called out, while making a face of someone wronged.
" Who's your wife?" Layla made a retort, hurting the man's feeling. He dare to make that 'wronged' face at her? Hmph!
" You, of course!" Adrian proudly declared that she is his wife.
" Sorry, you had a wrong person." Layla turned to escape, but the man quickly blocked her pathway when showing his sad face.
" But, you're my wife."
" I'm not."
" Then, who are you?"
" Winter."
" Then you're my wife."
" I said I'm Winter!"
" My wife is Winter."
" You...!" Layla almost laughed at his childish banter.
" Yes, I'm Adrian. Your husband." The man smiled, cheekily.
Meanwhile, the ignored Viper made a sour face. What the hell? The Boss found his wife, ignoring his subordinate whose working hard to find his escaping wife. What worst, they 'happily' throws dog foods and play 'wronged husband with cruel wife' in front of her face.
" Hey, Boss! Don't forget my salary raise. I'm working extra hard in these few days. And, it's not that easy to track her trails. I'm almost died few times already. That woman sly enough to end her trails at those damned places all around the country." The sidekick Viper made a protest on the side, complaining how hard she works in these days.
But, sadly, the couple ignored her totally.
Damn...A single like her had no status at all!!
The banters continues almost half-day, until Layla finally gave up. Adrian, of course, the winner happily hug his missing wife. He coaxing skill still top notch. And, he proud of it.
Moreover, the wife still holding grudges against him.
" Wife...honey..." He's cooing, calling his beloved sweetly. Layla shuddered, but still maintained her cool face.
" Are you hungry?"
Grululu~
She wanted to says no, but the stomach already betrayed her. Layla's face burned in shame, as she quickly hide her grumbling stomach with her hands. Adrian laughed, taking out packs of food he prepared in the backpack previously.
" Here. Don't starve yourself, alright. You can continues being mad at me after eating." He can only felt sorry for preparing some simple snacks for his wife. Adrian swore to make a feast for her later on.
Layla took a glance at the food, and cautiously peering at the man's face as if to see what trickery he played now. Adrian smiled, sheepishly. " I know that I'm handsome, wife. You hotly staring at me made me shy..."
What a narcissistic!
Layla made a face, taking the food and ate it. At least he prepared something. " Not bad..." The snacks tasted good.
" Thank you, wife for the praise. I'm happy because born handsome." Adrian took for granted, misinterpreted her meaning of 'not bad' words. Layla almost chocked the food. What the...
" I'm talking about the food." She snapped.
" I'm prepared the food."
" So?"
" I'm handsome when preparing tasty foods." Yet, again he went back in praising himself. The nearby Viper almost loosing her footing at her Boss's shamelessness.
Fu*ck...the Boss's level of narcissism already broken the worldwide record. She speechless.
Layla: "..."
Finally, she choose to ignore him. This man can be beyond help if she continues. His shamelessness made her ashamed.
Who 'lucky' woman marrying this man?!
....
It should be her...damn it. She sulked.
She wondered what the 'previous' her look in this man. Maybe she was enthralled stupidly by this man and got scammed in between.
It sucks...
" What are you thinking, wife?" Adrian's teasing tone broke her trances.
" You."
"...."
" This husband very happy!" Adrian laughed and hug her that got tricked when he caught her staring at him.
The helpless Viper: "...That's enough..."
The tricked Layla: "...."
The late arrival Blake: " Boss, everything is done."
Viper rolled her eyes at this lucky man. He shall be happy for not stuffed to death by this PDAs and dog foods. It's great to be you, Blake. Noted the sarcasm.
" Good, we will depart in one hour." Adrian nod, busying himself wiping Layla's hands. The crumbs and food stained this precious hands.
" I don't want to go back, yet." Layla's cool tone doused the man's happy mood to cold. His face stiffened together with his hands.
" Why?" He asked, staring cautiously at her. Layla made a look at him.
" You did hides something from me, Adrian." She no longer playing around the bushes. In this week of her disappearance, Layla found some clues about her accident two year ago. It lead her to a location she familiar with in her years of as Winter.
The Dragon Snake Gang.
" I might not remembering something previously, but I'm not stupid enough to believe everything you told me. Adrian, if you really love me as per you proclaimed before, then be honest with me."
" Layla..."
" Enough. I don't want to hear any excuses from you. I want a truth." Layla turned around, facing the man. The previous heats of banters and teasing gone from his expression.
The man's eyes flashed with great anguish and guilt. She saw him clenching his fists, as if enduring some kind of agony and pain.
Blake and Viper turned to look at each other, feeling the sadness for their Boss.
" ...I...I'm sorry..."
