27. Otis Vernon (2)

"Nice to meet you, Luxane."

"Just call me, Lux."

Otis stared at me for a few more seconds and his face bearing an expression that seemed to ask for my family name even though he didn't voice it out, but I said nothing.

After this short time passed and he realised that I wasn't going to tell him anything else other than 'Lux' just as he had also done with his name, Otis chuckled and leaned back on his seat.

Now that I looked at Otis Vernon a bit more closely, I recalled how I had misjudged him as a conceited brat as well while admiring Terrence.

Tch! I smacked my tongue against the roof of my mouth in slight disappointment. 

All those praises and loyalty wasted on that fool who killed me in the end.

I had placed Terrence on a pedestal like every other person and viewed everyone who rivalled or stood against him as enemies. 

Little did I know that I had given my loyalty to a demon.
