195 Chapter 186: It should be for my eyes only

At Roel's current workplace.

One of the waiters, who was working at the same restaurant as Roel, was walking around, apparently looking for someone. He then recalled that Roel usually was in his work area at that time of hour so he changed his direction and immediately headed for the kitchen.

Arriving near the kitchen, he saw Roel standing near the open kitchen window. And it looked like he was talking to someone. Or rather, someone was talking to him. But as he got closer, he saw it was just Olivia. Knowing that nothing would ever come up from their conversation, he thought it would be fine if he interrupted them.

Walking over, he nodded first to Olivia in greeting before turning to Roel. "Roel, you've got a visitor," he said.

Roel furrowed his eyebrows in confusion. Who could be visiting him while he was working?

He turned around and headed for the sink, ignoring Olivia's suspicious frown. He then went to his counter, grabbed a hand towel off the counter and wiped his hands with it.

Still ignoring the woman, he walked out of the kitchen, passing by her and went to follow the waiter.

Curious, Olivia too followed them from behind.

As they got closer, Roel's eyebrows began to scrunch up. He sensed a familiar scent.

He immediately quickened his pace, even overtaking the waiter, making the latter surprised by Roel's sudden speed.

Soon after, Roel reached at the entrance of the restaurant where two young women and a young man stood talking with one another. The young woman with the curly brown hair, wearing a white and blue shirt dress had her back at him. However, as he got closer, the girl turned around, showing her bright smile.

Before Roel could say anything, the smile on the girl's face dimmed. And inwardly, to Roel's distraught and confusion, the girl suddenly looked away, pouting.

Roel frowned as he approached the girl, ignoring the two other people standing near her. His frown changed to scowl when he saw a hint of anger in her dark brown eyes. "What's wrong?" he asked, fury starting to form inside him when he saw his mate looking upset.

Just as Jeayan was about to say something, someone appeared behind Roel, making the latter frowned deeper. That someone poked her head from behind him and looked at the three young people in front and said with astonishment, "Oh, who are they, Roel? Your little brother and sisters?"

She then stood beside him and smiled up at him. "I thought you're the youngest," she said.

Roel quickly stepped aside, moving away from her and moving closer to Jeayan.

It was either she was not offended and did not care by the fact that Roel visibly avoided her or she did not notice, she smiled at the three young people in front of her. "Hello, I'm Olivia. A close colleague of Roel's," she introduced herself.

Erick cocked an eyebrow in surprise at her shameless way of stressing on the word 'close' when she introduced herself.

Before Roel could retort on her way of introduction, Jeayan took a step forward with her hands on her hips. "What are you implying with that 'close', huh??" she responded hotly.

Olivia's eyes widened in surprise. She did not expect someone would scold her for the way she spoke. Especially when that someone was a girl younger than her. "I… I-I…" she stammered, unsure what to say.

Jeayan grabbed Roel's arm and pointed her finger at him. "He's mine, you get it? Who are you to make the claim that you're close when you're not?" she retorted.

"I've seen shameless people…" she continued, glancing at Erick before turning her gaze back at the older woman. "But you're much worse."

Erick rolled his eyes. Why do you have to look at me when you say the word, 'shameless'?

"And we were calling my boyfriend out, not you? Why are you here too?" Jeayan snapped. "Do you lack friends or something? Go check desperate.com whether there's anyone who's willing to talk with you!"

Amber's eyes widened at Jeayan's words. She's so fierce!

Looking down at his mate's evident possession over him, Roel felt his heart filled with love. However, being someone who doesn't really show his feelings on his face, he remained poker-faced, much to Jeayan's annoyance.

Olivia quickly blinked her eyes furiously. She then turned to Roel, hoping that he would back her up, showing him his tearful eyes. Unfortunately for her, he hasn't glanced at her for even a second this whole time as his eyes were stuck on Jeayan.

Jeayan then thought she should not be bothered, trying to pick a fight with the woman and abruptly turned around to exit the restaurant, pulling Roel with her.

Erick and Amber, who were quiet the whole time, nodded at the shell-shocked woman before following behind the couple out.

Olivia was flabbergasted. She never thought that there would be a day when a guy would reject her so blatantly. And the fact that he rejected her because of a little girl, who looked like she hasn't developed her body fully.

However, everyone but her knows that even if Roel wasn't in a relationship with Jeayan, he would still not give her a second look. There were so many times when Roel had expressed his distaste towards this woman. It was just that she herself does not accept the reality and continued on with her fantasies.

Outside, after they were a few metres away from the restaurant, Jeayan dropped his arm and turned around to face him with a scowl on her face. But to Roel, she looked so adorable that he could not help but pinch her puffed out cheeks.

Before he could pinched her cheeks, she had already slapped his hand away with a shocked look on her face. What's wrong with him? She was trying to look fierce here and he has the gall wanting to pinch her cheeks? No way!

Jeayan was about to say something to him when Roel suddenly caressed her other cheek, saying softly, "My dear mate, don't you worry about that woman. I've never even talked to her before. At most, she's the one who does the yapping. And if it's not because of the rules being made in this human society, she would have been dead already."

Jeayan's eyes widened in surprise. He's so aggressive. But she loves him, anyway!

He then leaned closer to her and asked seriously, "And why were you looking for me?" He looked down at her, studied the way she dressed and continued, "Why do you dress like this?"

Jeayan pouted. "Why can't I dress like this?" she asked angrily.

"Because it should be for my eyes only," he answered quietly as he pulled back.

Jeayan's face flushed red, feeling shy.
