Purple Dawn Till Dusk: Dearest through the time

Chapter 142: Mutual benefit

"Sssst!!" The man put his index finger in front of his lips to make Senja stop screaming "Hey impostor! Stop screaming!" He snapped angrily.

Senja covered her mouth with both hands, but when she heard the way that man called her, "What do you mean impostor?" Senja retorted.

The man dragged both Shadow Guards with each hand into the room, kicked shut the door then threw the two bodies on the ground carelessly.

"Girl, stop pretending." He walked to the table and poured water for himself, "You think just because you are pretending to be a noble granddaughter from big Clan you will be able to live in luxury?"

Senja shook her head, she glanced at the two bodies on the ground. From the look of their chest that still moving up and down Senja concluded that they were only passed out.

"I don't know what you think about me" Senja started her sentences, but the man cut it halfway.

"I think of you as impostor," He said in an irritated tone "I told you about this many times, but you still don't know what I think about you? So stupid" He grumbled and ate the fruits on the table.

This man's mood was confusing Senja, he seemed to have a problem with his impulse. This man didn't have intention to kill her or he wanted to hurt her, he came because he wanted to.

"Fine. I am pretending to be 'Senja', so what do you want?" Senja mustered her courage and sat in the opposite seat from him, she also wanted to know, if this man has intention to expose her, "You want to blackmail me?"

He froze for a moment before laughing out loud "Girl, you are so funny! You don't have anything that interests me!"

"If I don't have something that interests you, why are you looking for me?!" Her voice raised a few octaves when she said this.

"Because I want you to work for me."

"And if I don't want?"

"I will find a beautiful way to expose your identity."

Senja felt like she wanted to slam her head to the wall. No! She wanted to slam his head to the wall! Just a few second ago he said, he wasn't interested in blackmailing her, but now he was threatening her with the same thing!

"I don't care about this 'Senja' identity. I don't want it either! They force it to me. You want to expose it? Feel free to do it" Senja said haughtily. Being threatened was one of many things that Senja despised the most. As long as it wasn't her own life at stake, she was someone who wasn't easy to deal with.

The man narrowed his little black eyes "Are you sure?"

Senja poured a glass of water for herself as she nodded leisurely and drank it.

"I can tell you 'Senja's' secret" He offered the same thing like last time they met.

Honestly, Senja was tempted to know about this secret but there was no way she would show it blatantly, therefore she changed her strategy, "Let's do it this way."

"What way?"

This man looked very scary at the first time Senja saw him, but after a few exchanged of conversations Senja began to feel that there was something wrong with this man state of mind.

"First. I don't work for you. I will give you what you want, if you can give me what I want." Senja stated her first condition and assessed his mood. It looked like this man was considering her statement seriously before he spoke with a mocking expression.
