59 Deal

Queen opened the tv and the same drama series was still going on. She rolled her eyes in disgust and resigned herself to her fate.

Quince sat beside her and watched the series with her this time. The scene playing showed an elder woman throwing money against a young woman's face.

-Stay away from my son!- She yelled angrily and the young woman simply stared at the floor with tears running silently down her face.

"That's the hero's mom." Queen said as she put the spoonful of rice in her mouth.

"The young woman is the heroine I presume?" Quince asked as he swallowed his food.

"Yeah. She's trying to force the young woman to leave her son." Queen explained.

"I surmised as much." Quince nodded and watched the next scene where the young woman was walking on the pavement alone, looking completely shattered.

Suddenly a red sports car screeched to a halt beside her and the door swung open to reveal a young handsome man.

"The hero's here." Queen said and rolled her eyes. 'Very typical male lead.'

-Don't leave me my love!- The hero hugged the woman tight refusing to let go despite her struggles.

She struggled for a bit more before hugging him back and wept brokenly.

"Argh I swear!" Queen complained. She pointed the spoon she was holding to television screen before saying, "If I were the female lead, I would kidnap the hero and demand for a ransom from his family!"

Quince couldn't help chuckling at her outrageous thoughts and simply had to ask, "For what? It seems like all she ever want is him."

"True! But if she get the ransom she can invest in something and make something of herself. Then she wouldn't have to cry about how poor and unworthy she is. No one would dare bully her!" Queen said hotly.

"So you're saying if she had money, she is untouchable?" Quince asked with a mysterious glint in his eyes.

"No, but at least her life would be much easier." Queen said annoyed. "If it were me, the story would be completely different. Even this stupid scene with the sports car! If a guy wants to chase me, he better do it with his private jet!"

Quince laughed at her then. His laughter stunning her due to how rare it was. Her eyes softened and she had a happy smile on her face.

"Isn't that too extreme? And she's on the roadside not another country." Quince pointed out the obvious to Queen.

Queen snorted and said,"If it were me, I would be chilling by the sea so he would definitely need his jet."

"Ah I see." Quince nodded and continued with a teasing tone,"So does that mean, if we were to fight, I'm required to take my private jet to chase after you?"

"Why not!" Queen replied instantly before an idea struck her mind."Let's make a deal Master Quince."

"What deal?" Quince was instantly wary of her. The last time they had a 'deal' it wasn't exactly beneficial to him.

"If we were to fight and you were in the wrong, then you must chase after me on your private jet. But if I were in the wrong, I would chase after you in a speed boat." Queen said clapping at her idea.

"A boat huh?" Quince smiled, his dimples completely visible,"Very well then Miss Vancroft. It's a deal."
