Chapter 22
The collision somewhat created a huge impact that it even made the lady fall to the ground while Grant was still so fine.
“I’m sorry. Are you okay, Miss? I didn’t see you coming. Here, let me help you.” Grant told the lady as he stretched out his hand to help the lady get up from the ground.
The lady grunted but eventually took Grant’s hand since she was having difficulty getting up because her butt was aching. “T-Thank yo–” The lady’s line was cut off when they both noticed who the other person was.
“Krisna?”
“K-Grant?” They both said in chorus with their forehead creased. They both looked so shocked and were not expecting them to see each other this soon.
For the first time, Grant couldn’t move, and that went the same for Krisna. The moment she realized that it was Grant. She instantly froze and was stunned. She was not ready, and her so-called mate was not in front of her, which made her heart jump out of her chest.
“I-I’m sorry I bumped into you. It’s my fault. I’m sorry, Alpha Grant.” She said in a low and constrained tone, but there was a hint of sincerity in her voice.
Grant shook his head left and right and looked at her very firmly. “No, part of it was my fault, too. I am also not looking at my surroundings. I am actually in a hurry searching for someone.” He explained his side, which made Krisna answer him with a nod.Original from NôvelDrama.Org.
The next thing that happened was a deep and long silence that they could both hear crickets. None of them wanted to start a conversation and break the ice. “Now, this is awkward.” Krisna thought to herself, and he continued to feel uneasy.
She became even more uneasy when she noticed that Grant was staring at her blankly. It made her conscious of how she looked. Was there some kind of dirt on her face that made him stare at her like that?
Under Grant’s thinking, he noticed that there was blood on Krisna’s face, but he didn’t bother to ask her about what happened to it. He didn’t want Krisna to think that he cared about her, so he kept it to himself.
“Well, if that is the case, I’ll be going ahead, Alpha Grant. Once again, I am sincerely sorry about what happened. If you’ll excuse me.” Krisna told him and was in a hurry to get out of his sight right away.
Grant remained standing while he was looking at Krisna’s departure. The blood on her face, who did that to her? He wanted to ask, but it was totally unnecessary.
3rd Person POV
Grant continued to walk forth to look for Greco around the pack. “Where did he go off to? That man is too difficult to look for.” He told himself in a low tone of voice while he was roaming his eyes around his surroundings. He could only see the Omegas and other pack warriors having their own businesses and even Greco’s shadow was not being seen.
“Krisna must have gotten into some kind of trouble that’s why she had that blood on her face.” He thought to himself. Grant was not in his usual self, he was looking for Greco, his Beta, but his thoughts were still running for how he saw Krisna a while back.
As he was still looking for Greco around the pack, he unconsciously went inside the fancy living room and unexpectedly ran into Mabelle. His mood went down into its cycle in an instant. He still tried to pretend he didn’t see her because he really didn’t want to speak with the person he used to date before, especially if that person was Mabelle. This girl was still into Grant, she couldn’t get over him although they had broken up long ago.
Mabelle was with her group of friends and when she saw Grant in the distance, she immediately informed her group and they all looked at Grant making him feel uncomfortable. On the other hand, Grant pretended as if he didn’t see Mabelle. Of course, she wouldn’t allow Grant to just pass by her and make her embarrassed in front of her friends, so she went and walked over to his direction right away before she would even lose sight of him.
Grant noticed that Mabelle was about to approach her, so he rushed over to look around and when he confirmed that Greco was not in that area, he started to walk away at a slight speed but dang… Mabelle was able to catch up to him.
“Hey, Grant! It’s good to see you around here.” Mabelle greeted him with a huge smile on her face while her hands were doing some gestures to look cute in front of Grant. Maybe her moves might go along with other men, but to Grant, it would never work twice. She even blinked twice and her voice was too sharp and high-pitched which made him frown.
With that being said, he couldn’t look frustrated in front of Mabelle so he just went along with her for now. “Oh, Mabelle. I didn’t see you were here… with your squad.” He said while his gaze turned to look at Mabelle’s group of friends who were just a few meters away and they were obviously looking and talking about the two of them. They would giggle with each other after they whisper something.
“Uh.. Well, yeah. Just hanging around with them.” She replied and took a quick glance at her girls behind her and then she gave them a death glare. Her gaze turned to look at Grant with her angelic facial expression as if she was a very timid lady. “By the way, how are things going? The ball is just around the corner, ain’t it? Aren’t you excited somehow?” She asked with a little bit of hesitation in his voice. She was still trying to contemplate his behavior and it would totally look bad if she would put Grant into a bad mood.
