The Ancestral Inheritance Match

Chapter 43

Thalia was lazy to argue with Ardi. He decides to leave immediately before Sean returns to tease Thalia. It was still an hour before Thalia's practice schedule began.

"Do you mind stopping by the office first?" tanya Ardi opened the conversation.

"To your office? Why?" 

"I forgot there was a file to sign. My secretary just had a chat asking me to come to the office for a while" Ardi replied explaining to Thalia.

"Oh, okay."

Thalia fell silent again, her thoughts only on Erick. She has not returned the message, leading Thalia to think that Erick might not want to be friends with her. 

Thalia stared at her phone screen many times. Turn it on and off again. It keeps repeating. He's restless. Ardi apparently noticed Thalia's uncomfortable attitude.

"Is there a problem?" 

"Eh, no." replied Thalia nervously.

"You're lying, you think you're nervous? Are we going straight to the hospital?" ask Ardi again.

"No, your business is more important. I'm okay!" 

"You sure?" Ardi made sure once again to Thalia. And Thalia simply replied with a nod of her head.

Thalia fell silent again, her thoughts drifting back to Erick. For some reason he felt so sad, Tears soaked his cheeks. Thalia felt something that made her really sad, something beyond reason.

What is this, why does it feel so sad? Just because Erick didn't reply to this message? Why am I so melow gini huh, weird?

They arrived at Ardi's office. A magnificent building with more than ten floors, it can be said that this office is more like a five-star hotel than a company building.

Ardi opened the car door for Thalia, without hesitation he grabbed Thalia's hand and pulled her to immediately follow in his footsteps. Let Ardi's luxury car be taken care of by one of his employees.

Thalia who was surprised by Ardi's attitude could only remain silent without saying much. He continued to look at Ardi's hand grip that felt strengthened when entering the elevator.

Maybe I should open my heart to her? But I …,

Thalia tried to smile at Ardi, and they entered the elevator alone. Thalia who felt uncomfortable trying to let go of Ardi's hand.

"Can be released no, I'm not a child you use everything!"

"Let's romantic a little." said Ardi made Thalia look at him strangely.

"Romantic? In here?" 

"Well, or do you want us to go somewhere more supportive and romantic?" tanya Ardi brought her face closer to Thalia making herself move away slightly from Ardi.

"Eh, doesn't that mean?!"

"Then?" tanya Ardi brought herself closer to Thalia.

"Ardi stop, please! I'm not comfortable like this!" pinta Thalia slightly pushed Ardi's body with her hand.

Ardi laughed at Thalia who blushed, "You're not comfortable what's shame?"

"Stop it!" Thalia again asked Ardi to stop teasing her.

Ardi was still laughing and finally he relented to rewind his body to the beautiful woman before him. An invisible creature peered at Thalia from behind Ardi's body. Thalia was surprised, discomfort assaulted her.

The figure again grinned at Thalia, stealing the view from behind Ardi's body.

Oh my God, there's more. Why is every lift I meet not okay?

These otherworldly creatures love to prank employees in Ardi's office. His pale face grinned at Thalia with his wide mouth, his eyes big with a head that was barely hairless. His head continuously peeked at Thalia from behind Ardi's body as if inviting him to play hide and seek.

Thalia spontaneously grabbed Ardi's hand and gripped him tightly. He tried to relieve discomfort by taking refuge in Ardi. That certainly makes Ardi happy, he thought Thalia began to soften. In Thalia's heart she said,

I'm sorry Ardi I borrowed your arms from the expanse, rather than that creepy creature makes me sore eyes!
