Tasting All My Mates by Alexis Dee novel Chapter 433

433-Coming Inside.

“You didn’t answer me,” I repeated my question and waited for him to respond to me. He looked a little lost before he rolled his eyes at me to dismiss my emotions.

“It wasn’t Val! I mean, it was her, but it was some office work,” he said to himself in the same sentence and then walked past me to rush into the mansion.

“Sorry! I forgot you are —,” he said, stopping just as he was about to enter and turned to offer me his hand. I stared at his hand for a second before I didn’t accept it and strolled past him to the inside. I know he was busy somewhere, but that he didn’t even care about me as his friend had surprised me a lot.

Although there were no expectations left after that night, I was willing to stay silent until I found a way out of this town. Maybe I can try to leave with Oswin. I remember he had told me that he could offer one person the chance to live as a rogue with him, and Corbin might not be able to do anything about it because Oswin was a fighter, a hero now.

“Why don’t you rest a bit while I make a quick run to the office?” Lazlo helped me settle down in the bed first before sliding in the request. He sounded very low when talking about leaving this time. I noticed how he avoided eye contact and kept rubbing his hands.

“You have work to do at this time.” I frowned, watching him nod his head instead of answering me with words.

“You think you will be fine?” he asked, focusing on the blanket more than me.

“I will be fine,” I said, lying to him. My head was hurting from being low on energy. I bet I had a fever too, but Lazlo had some important meetings that prevented him from noticing how down I was feeling.

Soon, he dressed up in a black suit and left for work. I stayed in bed for a few minutes, feeling a little weird about Lazlo and his late night meetings. I remembered asking one of the colleagues, and he was as surprised as I was. Nobody knew about these meetings, so who was he meeting, anyway?

Not wanting to focus on anything that consumes my energy, I decided to call Oswin and talk to him. I haven’t heard from him since then. I was kind of hoping he would call to check up on me.

I dialed his number for the next few minutes, but it seemed like he had turned off his cellphone. That was normal because of the severity of his tasks.

“Ugh!” I squirmed uncomfortably, touching my forehead and feeling this weird uneasiness as if something were not right.

“I must just close my eyes and—-,” As soon as I closed my eyes, the earth shook and the power cut off.

“What the f*ck!” A loud gasp and a hard tremble were all I could remember. I felt an eerie feeling of fear wrap me in its arms.
