INFINITE MONEY - I Will Buy Everything

357  Chapter 357 - A Misguided Confusion

"Hey what do you say about going on a date?" A somewhat rough female voice called out to him.

William immediately looked at the direction and saw that it was a woman who was standing behind Halbeck.

The woman was at the middle of her twenties. She had a dark skin tone and a face that had been scarred briefly by negative means. Even with the small scar, her beautiful face and mischievous look would draw many attention to her.

Her body and waist was slim and her arms and legs looked like they had the power necessary to do many types of harm to anyone she chooses. Her middle point wasn't that bad, coming to a B cup but nonetheless it was a doable one. Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Her clothes were similar to the ones Halbeck and the other men were wearing. It was the same silver ash colored armor coupled with grey and black pants that looked a little baggy but was covered with many types of defensive spells to protect that part of the wearer.

William glanced at the woman once more and before it could make her blush or she could say her words, he turned away to Halbeck and said, "So about my security measures…"

"Hey!..." She called out seeing that William ignored her and started talking with Halbeck. But again William did not notice or did not want to.

The woman looked astonished as she stood at the sideline. Many things had happened to her as she continued her journey. She had trained hard, very hard. Her friends that she once called family had died either protecting them or fighting at their jobs. She had fought foes that could topple towns and defeated them.

But never in her some twentyish years of life, has a person of opposite gender had ignored her.

Sure she has ignored countless guys who were looking to shack up with her but NEVER, never has a male ignored her so blatantly as William had.

So she stood there in shock before coming to reality and seeing that William and her company had already gone up the aircraft and wear readying themselves to take off.

"HEY WAIT FOR ME!!!" She called out as she ran inside.

William sat inside the large black jet like aircraft and locked in his safety measures as the woman who had startled him a moment ago was about to sat right beside him.

Unfortunately for her, Naomi came in the nick of time and took that seat. The woman who arrived before her looked at her with a dark look but seeing that it didn't make Naomi move, she sat in the chair next to her.

Then she did what any woman would do to the man that ignored her.

She Glared.

She Glared Hard.

William saw that glare from the corner of his eyes and even though it looked like he was ignoring everything, he was listening to everything about her and was laughing from the inside.

It wasn't that he wasn't interested in the woman but the problem was that this was a public event where he has to make good relation with another great house and that she was too straightforward.

Well… it's not his relation with Edward was bad or was about to turn good, but still, he had to keep up with faces. So the only thing that came to his mind when she had said those words, to either confront her directly or ignore her.

And he thought it best to just ignore her at that moment.

But it seemed like he couldn't ignore her anymore, less he wants her brain to pop out from how hard she was glaring at him.

"What is it?" William said as he again looked at her. Now instead of that mischievous smirk, an angry and dark look was upon her face. It felt like she had eaten the most distasteful thing and was gawking upon the one that had made her eat it.

Finally seeing that William had given her attention, she asked bitterly, "Why did you ignore me back then?"

"Because it was not the right time for such questions." William said as he looked at the gloves on his hand.

'Hmm… expensive and warm, feels like I am wrapped around in kitten.'

"And Why wasn't it the right time?" She asked again then snorted, "Oh! Let. Me. Guess."

"The mercenary is not good enough for the lord now, is she?" She said angrily.

Delmar laughed quietly beside him and Naomi was about to call her out but stopped when she saw William giving her a hand sign not to.

"You know; its people like you that show me how far money can drop people." She said, "You being handsome enough and stuck up is many of the reason why I don't date rich people."

Her face turned even more bitter as she remembered something, "Now this reminded me again."

William sat there taking her words and not saying anything. Then when he saw that she had calmed down he asked her, "Tell me something, How old do I look?"

"What?... Is this some kind of retarded way to undermine me." She said and saw William shook his head.

"No, just humor me."

"Aah…" She looked at William doubtfully but gave in when she saw the honesty in his gold eyes.

"21 or 23 maybe." She said and saw William's face from smiling to instantly changing to surprise.

"… Is it 22 perhaps?"

William looked at her like 'Are you really joking?' face. But when he saw the genuine confusion. So in help, he looked at Naomi who had long turned her head to the opposite direction when she heard his question.

He looked to her but her distant ignorance made him turn to Delmar who couldn't stop laughing sneakily and when he saw William giving him the confused face he broke out in full on laugh. His laughter gained the attention of Edward and the others company.

William and his own company, coupled with the unknown lady were sitting in a place far away from Edward and her own frontier team so they didn't hear anything that was happening until Delmar laughed.

Delmar stopped himself when he saw all the attention to himself and coughed, "Sorry… Just remembered a joke a friend once told me some time ago."

It was a bad excuse, but the people didn't care as they once again went back to what they were doing and left them alone.

The woman looked at Delmar's still somewhat laughing look and William's shocked and didn't understand what just happened.

"What the hell is happening here?"

William sighed before he accepted the fact and answered her, "Well… It's just my age isn't the same as my looks."

"And that's why the bald creep laughed so hard like he was about to die?" She asked as William nodded.

Delmar heard what she said but he was in his happy zone to respond to her.

"So… how old are you really?"

"Ahh… 13"

"…"

"…"

"Are you joking?"

"Yeaaahh… No."

The woman's face turned instantly very bitter as she remembered her past actions.

"So you're telling me that I had asked a KID of 13, that I wan…"

"Yeahhh."

It was at that moment that she realized that she had asked a question that would have given her a new nickname. One that could give her a worse label than any other killer nicknames she already had.
