Mated To My Best Friend's Lycan Alpha Brothers novel Chapter 477

Chapter 477: He Finally Asked

(Author’s POV)

Hearing the knock, Nerissa got up in a flash. She straightened her back and fixed the wrinkle formed between her brows. After taking a deep breath, she walked towards the door. Then she waited for another two seconds, and finally opened the door, her voice honeyed, "Yes~ ...."

"Ms. Marino," Chris said, standing outside her room. His hands were on his back, his voice polite.

"Ohhh~ ... Shadow," Nerissa batted her eyelashes. Her demeanor did a complete one-eighty as she added, "What are you standing there for? Come in, let’s talk inside." She didn’t ask anything about why he was late. She didn’t want to give an opening or raise suspicion.

After a moment’s hesitation, Chris walked. Though outwardly he presented himself utterly calm, inwardly he was in turmoil. The past hour, he had called, visited the guilds he had hired, and just like before, ~ .... none of them was able to find a single clue related to gold blood. So, in the end, defeated, he came to Nerissa’s doorstep.

Nerissa gestured for him to settle on the couch as she walked towards the counter.

Chris looked unfazed, but he was observing Nerissa quite closely. Her movements, her intention, he wanted to know more about her before he could start on the topic.

Carrying two glasses, in one it was water, and in the other red wine, she strolled back, her hips swaying rhythmically. She casually settled beside him, handing him the plain water glass.

Chris took it but did not drink; instead, he started, "Ms. Marino~ ...."

"Call me Nerissa~ ... or better Neri~ ... everyone here does. Ms. Marino~ ... *tch* that gives homeroom teacher vibes," Nerissa interrupted, taking a sip of her wine. Her face held that undeniably charming smile as she looked into Chris’s eyes.

"Ms. Nerissa~ ... are you a human?" he questioned straightforwardly.

"Hmmm~ ... you tell me, what do you think?" Nerissa muttered, her brow arched, her face tilted.

"You are not," he was straightforward, again. His expression unreadable. "No human can survive a place like this. Especially, someone with an S-Level rank guild member."

"Ummhmm~ .... you are quite observant. I must say. But~ ... how did you know I am an S-Level ranked guild member?" she feigned confusion, her eyebrows furrowed now.

"Your card," he said and then fired another question her way, "Then~... what are you exactly, Ms. Nerissa?"

"Take a guess?" she said, her voice close to seductive.

Chris immediately scooted away, creating some distance between them, "I don’t know. That’s why I am asking."

Nerissa stared at him for a good two seconds, tucked a strand of her hair behind her ear, resting her head on the headrest leisurely, and said, "Does it matter what I am? I guess you need my help~ ... quite desperately so. Whether I am human, an animal, a fish or a bird, will change?"
