Revenge is best served cold novel Chapter 284

It wasn't until the cold wind hit Elsa's face that she seemed to finally realize all her efforts had been in vain. The fake kindness on her face quickly morphed into resentment and jealousy. She stood still at the door for a long moment, her gaze hardening as if she had made some kind of decision.

Just when I thought she might knock again, she suddenly turned around and left.

Eric's voice sounded behind me. "Why are you watching her?"

I didn't answer. Instead, I smiled at him playfully. "Looks like you have quite the charm, Mr. Flint. Even Elsa seems to have shifted her target."

The moment I said that, I realized there was an unmistakable trace of jealousy in my tone.

Eric noticed it too. Amusement flashed in his eyes, and a smile crept onto his face as he waved a hand dismissively. "That has nothing to do with me."

He patted his chest with exaggerated seriousness. "I'm very loyal."

I almost burst out laughing.

Was he… pledging his allegiance to me?

Shaking off the ridiculous thought, I tilted my head and grinned. "So, are we training today?"

Eric raised an eyebrow and gave me a mock appreciative look. "You must be my most enthusiastic student yet. Eat something first. We'll start in an hour."

…

An hour later, I stood with Eric in the "training room" that he had the contractor set up in a rush over the past two days.

Since he was worried about me getting hurt, he made sure the room had little to no decor and the entire floor was lined with soft, thick mats. Even the walls were covered in padding, ensuring that even if I crashed into them, I wouldn't feel a thing.

"Are you ready?" Eric asked with a mischievous smile.
