When they reached the specific penthouse, Dragon let her down in the living room's comfortable sofa. He then prepared a tea for her to sober up. Fortunately, the remaining tea the doctor prescribed him was kept untouched.

Though still feeling tipsy, Seraphina didn't drink that much so, she admiringly follows the man's figure action.

In her perspective, the man looks good whatever he does and when he speaks, she couldn't help but listen to his harmonious voice. In other words, he is the epitome of a true Adonis.

Offering her a tea, the man kept his silence as he intently stares at her. Without further ado, Seraphina obediently drank the served refreshment for her.

'So warm…' be it the tea or the irony of his cold front, Seraphina was satisfied.

After relishing herself, an awkward silence engulfs the atmosphere as neither of them spoke a word. They stared at each other for quite some time as if both of them don't know what to say.

After all, they are actually strangers and only met twice including today. But, for some reason, the impression they left in each of their hearts are unforgettable.

It might be ridiculous being too intimate and have feelings to someone they barely know. Alas, considering the narrow, dark road they are taking -- both felt that a faint street light was forced to open.

"Um…" Seraphina pursed her lips as she wants to start a conversation yet failed miserably.

Dragon, on the other hand, waited patiently to what she was about to say. However, seeing her stops before she even starts, his brows furrowed.

"You shouldn't drink so much." He nonchalantly stated -- starting a conversation instead.

"Are you mad?" Seraphina unconsciously asked. After her words left her mouth, she realized how absurd her question.

'Why would he get mad if he doesn't know me in the first place? Damn stupid mouth!'

"Hehe. Please pretend I didn't ask." Seraphina awkwardly excused. Seeing that he was unmoving with his usual poker face, Seraphina's eyes squint -- wondering what's on his mind.

"Where are you staying?" after some time, Dragon finally spoke with his usual untraceable tune.

"uh? In my apartment?" She answered, puzzled.

"Where?"

"Somewhere in the city?"

Dragon's brows twitch as his expression darken. He felt that she was deliberately making fun of him by the indirect answer. He lightly pinches his brows in distress before asking again.

"Address."

"Ohh… I don't know." She innocently answered. Seeing that dark clouds were forming above the majestic man's head, Seraphina resumed trying to clarify her side of the story.

"You see, I'm just a tourist so I really don't know the address."

Dragon helplessly sighs. Though he already knew the answer, he doesn't want her to know that Max already investigated her background.

"I'll send you home."

"Eh?! You want my apartment to be our marital residence?" She tilts her head in confusion. Seraphina already acknowledges this luxurious place to be her new place since he said earlier 'let's go home.' She added,

"Hmm. Let's see, my apartment is a little shabby unlike this one but, if we count on the expenses in this place… we should find another house."

Dragon: "..." he was perplexed on what she was talking about. Although he said what he spats earlier, he immediately realized how reckless it was.

How can he ask her to go home with him if she barely knew him? Well, at least he already got a bit of her information but still, she doesn't know him!

However, her statement seems like she fixed her mind living with him. Must he be happy or otherwise?

"Baby? Hey? Baby~?" Seraphina tried to snap him back seeing him zoning out. When his gaze finally moves and landed to her, she inquired.

"why are you spacing out?"

"Aren't you afraid living with a stranger?" Dragon's brows raised as he anticipates her answer.

Seraphina pondered for a while, 'Eh? Why would I be afraid if I take home strangers myself?' Recalling the times she recruited her team, though they were experts, well, she is confident with her skills and capabilities anyway. So why would she be afraid?

"No." She finally affirmed.

Dragon's expression darkens as he abruptly stood from his seat and took slow strides towards her. He starts loosening his tie as he instantly pounces on her. He smirks dangerously when only a palm length gap between them.

Seraphina blinks innocently on his sudden aggression. 'where is my gentle queen go?' She thought inwardly.

"Aren't you afraid I'd take advantage of you?" seeing her blinking innocently as if she was unbothered by their inconvenient position, he added.

"Are you always this tactless asking just anyone to live with you? Regardless if its a stranger?" this time, his tone and aura turned more stern. Beneath his eyes, a fire was ignited -- as a man, he d_e_s_i_r_es her.

Slowly, his usual composed mind became cloudy as his body leaned closed to her.
