I, the Villain - Vol. 1

Chapter 3
Just as Yelena Miller was completely stunned by Lucas Grey’s inner thoughts, her phone rang.
“Hello? Dad, yes, I’m with Rose. Alright, I’ll head over now.”
After hanging up, she frowned slightly and said, “Rose, my dad needs me for something. Let’s go in together.”
Rose White nodded and deliberately walked to one side of Lucas Grey.
She hadn’t expected this little bastard to know so much about her, and now even about Yelena as well.
Let’s see if she could coax a bit more out of him.
Then she’d find a chance to remind her best friend just how dangerous that male lead really was.
But what she didn’t know was that whatever she could hear, Yelena Miller could hear just the same.
So Yelena Miller silently moved to Lucas Grey’s other side, trying to probe as well.
“Does Young Master Grey have any close friends in the Miller family? I can ask someone to keep you company later.”
He seemed to know far too much about the Miller family.
Maybe someone from the inside was leaking information to him.
Lucas Grey answered absentmindedly, “I don’t know anyone. Not a single one.”
[I’m just one of the villains in the novel, and only the villain in Rose White’s storyline at that. If I knew anyone in yours, that’d be a real ghost story.]
[The villain for your line is someone else, a fool named Louis Johnson. He’ll show up soon.]
[Also, could you two just stay away from me? I’m trying to keep a low profile. Walking beside Rose White is already eye-catching enough, and now you’re both tagging along.]
It’s not that he didn’t want to walk with two beauties.
It was just that too many people were watching.
And their discussions weren’t even subtle. He couldn’t ignore them if he tried.
“Hey, isn’t that Lucas Grey, the Grey family’s infamous good-for-nothing? Walking beside Goddess White, and her bodyguards didn’t throw him out?”
“Haven’t you heard? The guy threw himself down the White family’s stairs just to latch onto her. Scared her parents so much they’ve been apologizing at the Grey house every day since.”
“Tch. What a dog. He’s willing to lose all dignity to chase the goddess. But why is Goddess Miller with him too?”
“Goddess Miller and Goddess White are best friends. She’s probably worried that guy might take advantage of White, so she’s secretly protecting her.”
“Yeah, that must be it. Only explanation.”
Lucas Grey nearly rolled his eyes right out of his skull.
[Protect what? I was dragged here by your goddess, alright?]
[Take advantage? Even if you gave me a hundred million, I wouldn’t touch her finger.]
What?
Yelena Miller’s eyes widened in surprise.
So it wasn’t that he was pestering Rose, but rather that Rose had invited him?
And from the way he was thinking, he actually seemed repulsed by Rose?
That’s too strange.
She glanced at Rose White, only to find her gaze icy cold, with a faint anger beginning to smolder.
As the three walked into the hotel, an elderly man hurried over. “Miss, you’ve finally arrived. The master is waiting for you.”
After greeting Rose White with a nod, he led Yelena Miller away.
As soon as she left, Lucas Grey let out a sigh of relief.
[Finally got rid of that walking disaster.]
Turning his head, he met Rose White’s frosty gaze.
[Very good, that look suits you. Keep it up. Remember your ice-cold goddess persona. Don’t talk to me.]
Hmph.
Rose White pressed her lips together, clearly displeased.
What did he mean by not even touching her for a hundred million?
She didn’t believe it for a second.
