I Am the Fated Villain, Ladies

Chapter 11
W-What was happening?
Why did the male lead suddenly look like he wanted to kill him?
“Uh, I suddenly feel like using the restroom. Why don’t you two talk first?”
[Damn it! Yelena Miller, you lunatic. You called me to the restaurant just to help me rack up aggro, didn’t you? Afraid the male lead wouldn’t act fast enough, worried I wouldn’t die soon enough?]
[I’m done for. I haven’t even entered the main plot yet. This was just the appetizer, and the male lead already hates me to the core. How am I supposed to survive the rest?]
[Damn Rose White and Yelena Miller, you’ve completely set me up.]
Hearing his inner voice, Yelena Miller glanced at David Fox and noticed the killing intent rising from him.
She calmly stepped in front of Lucas Grey and said, “I have nothing to say to him. Young Master Grey, let’s go.”
With that, she pushed him forward, then deliberately slowed down to fall behind, placing herself behind Lucas Grey.
She was guarding against David Fox trying to attack from behind.
But even though David Fox’s storyline had skewed a little, he was still the male lead. He wouldn’t stoop to ambushing someone.
So he simply stood where he was, eyes locked on Lucas Grey’s back, unmoving, until the two of them entered the private room next door.
Once seated, Lucas Grey broke into a cold sweat.
This wouldn’t do. No way this would end well.
David Fox was incredibly strong. He could kill him with a flick of his finger.
[Even if I want to die and escape this world, I can’t go without completing the storyline. I can’t leave empty-handed.]
[I have to make it to the end of the main plot and get my rewards. Only then can I go.]
[To last that long, I’ll need to find some way to protect myself.]
While Yelena Miller was ordering dishes, she listened silently to his thoughts.
When she heard him mention wanting to return to his original world, her heart suddenly skipped a beat.
So, he didn’t belong to this novel’s world.
Still, now that he had come and shattered her understanding of reality, revealing such an earth-shaking secret, how could he just leave?
Not unless he took her with him.
Thinking this, she passed the menu to Lucas Grey. “Please, Young Master Grey, go ahead and order.”
Lucas Grey had no appetite. He casually picked a few dishes and absentmindedly nibbled at them, then asked, “You said you could help my dad land a deal with Starlight Group. Was that true?”
“Of course. Zavier Brown is the son of the Starlight Group chairman. He saw you talk back to David Fox earlier, so he probably finds you interesting. With me stepping in, locking in the deal won’t be hard.”
Damn.
So Zavier Brown came from that kind of background?
Lucas Grey marveled quietly, though it was a shame. No matter how powerful his family was, in the end, he still wound up bankrupt and dead.
“Young Master Grey, I have a question.”
“Go ahead.”
“What do you like about Rose?”
Lucas Grey’s face twitched. “Uh ... isn’t it obvious? She’s beautiful, sexy, smart, comes from a good family, and she can manage a business. She’s the perfect woman. What man wouldn’t like her?”
Yelena Miller rested her chin on her hands and smiled softly. “But all those qualities you listed—I have them too. Why don’t you like me?”
Huh?
Lucas Grey froze.
[What is she talking about? Is she joking? She must be. Even if her attitude toward the male lead has been strange lately, she couldn’t possibly be interested in me.]
After giving himself that reassurance, Lucas Grey laughed awkwardly. “Miss Miller is outstanding in every way. Someone like me isn’t worthy.”
