Chapter Twenty-Nine

ERWIN

I excuse myself from Leo and John to use the restroom. Let's not mention that asshole, pain in my married ass. I don't know what that bastard wants from John. But I have a feeling that whatever it is, it is not something good. The way Ruth looks at him is just like a predator looking at his prey. Or, just like me a few months ago eyeing the girls. That look doesn't bring anything good.

I turn around the corner and spot the restroom. After so many years of studying here, I know this place as good as Leo's body. I step outside the restroom after doing what I needed to do. There is someone waiting for me outside.

"H-Hey Erwin!" Lia somehow manages to give me a nervous smile.

"Why are you here?" I inquiry, my brows pinched, "Where is Tanya?"

"S-She is at the party…" Lia is trying her best to not look me in the eyes.
