"Uh-huh," Lucius muttered, staring at the glowing screen of his phone.
He really found it hard to believe that this Esme… a Villainess in the novel that hated dressing up and usually wore simple stuff had suddenly decided to go all out with makeup and a stunning outfit.
She only did that when she was going for official parties.
Sure, she looked breathtaking, even through the screen, but like any normal guy, Lucius preferred natural beauty.
And Esme? She didn't need makeup to look perfect… she just didn't seem like the type to bother with it.
"So… what were you doing?" she asked, smiling a little too brightly.
Even her tone was different.
It wasn't the usual confident Esme he'd watched a movie with.
No, this Esme was clearly trying too hard to sound charming.
Lucius sighed.
She was definitely taking orders from someone because where did this come from…?
"Well, me?" he said casually, leaning back against his pillow, "I was looking through some horror movies."
