29 If a man looked like this... then what about us women?

'Can I say no?' She thought. But then again he's right. It's not like she really travelled a lot to discover the things around town. While she was in deep thoughtful about her next action Ivan just study her with a smile.

Ivan's eye flicked a bit. He wasn't really peeping but he curious about her thoughts about him so he read her mind awhile ago and he can say he was beyond amused.

'Damn man! Why is he following me?! Does it look like I want to be followed?!'

'Tch! It's a sin I tell you! Especially good looking men! How can they make people this beautiful?! And this one is definitely an icing on the cake!'

'Ugh! Can I go? Will you stop?! It's almost scary having such a strong person following me?!'

'Pff!'

Hearing all of her anxious thoughts made him laugh. He chuckled softly and noticed that Angelica had turned her attention to him who was laughing by himself.

'Ah! That face! She definitely thinks I'm crazy laughing by myself!' He mused.

Angelica was indeed thinking he was going crazy by himself. I mean who laughs by themselves?

"Whats so funny?"

"You" he said but didn't explain.

"Pardon me?" What did she do that was so funny? She felt her eye twitch and she felt that this man was very annoying.

'Annoying and dangerous. Maybe I should stay away.' She thought. Being cautions is a good thing, as many times it saved her from two faced people.

Ivan golden eyes narrowed a bit after hearing her thoughts. Looks like he made the woman suspicious of him.

"Alright shall we go? There's a nice restaurant that serves food over there. Follow me!" He switched the topic and so her brain would focus on something else.

And gladly it did take her focus away. Angelica started following him but still keep a distance.

She was actually scared by him. It was not only because of his power but also because of his motive on meeting her. It was clear enough that he didn't jut come to meet her for fun.

'Just what exactly does this man want from a witch?' She thought.

Little did she know all her thoughts were heard by the peeping hawk. Ivan hid the smile creeping on his face and coughed to get her attention.

"Lady An were here. This restaurant is the restaurant I was talking about. It serves great dishes. Try and see if you like them." He said as they walked towards a table in the restaurant. He brought them to the second floor where they had better view of the town. He even got a prefect seating area!

Like a gentleman he pulled out her chair and help her sit before sitting down himself. The waiter came and soon asked about the dishes they wanted and both of them order.

The table became completely quite. Angelica didn't know what to say to this man so she turned her attention to the window beside them and looked outside. She must say the view from here is beautiful.

She can see the market she roamed around in earlier and also the fountain. Suddenly something hit her head and she turned to the man who was also staring at the window.

'Ahh! This guy is a lair! Didn't he say he wanted to go the fountain?' Her brows furrowed a bit and she pouted. She felt like she realized to late and couldn't help but berate herself.

'This guy definitely uses his face to get what he wants!'

Ivan glance at her and notice she was staring intently at him. He confusedly looked at her and opened his mouth to question her.

"Lady An, what's wrong? Why are you staring at me like that?"

"I'm wondering what your purpose is. What do you want? It's not simply curiosity right?" If it was simple curiosity then she will leaving it at that but if it was something more than that, she might as well listen.

Ivan's lips curled upwards and Angelica can see the enchanting smile on his lips. She felt dumbstruck and for some reason felt insecure about her beauty.

If a man looked like this... then what about us women?

Ivan noticed her daze again. It was probably because of his smile, he saw that every time he smiled she would go into a daze like she was amazed by his handsomeness.

"Your right."

"What?"

His golden eyes looked at her blue one and seriously said, "I'm not here from simple curiosity." That was a complete lie though.

"Umm ok? So..?" What do you want?

"I'm here to have dinner with you." He said so seriously that she became speechless.

"....." her eye twitched and she glared at the man.

Why does her head hurt dealing with this man? Thankfully the waiter brought their food so she could focus her attention on it. She must say the food was delicious!

'I should come here before I leave tomorrow! The wolves would love the steak from here!!' She thought about the two immediately after tasting the food.

Ivan stopped cutting his steak for a second before continuing his action and eating it gracefully.

'So she's leaving tomorrow? What should I do? I kinda want to know more about her.' Ivan thought but what surprise him more was his own thoughts.

Since when did he ever have thoughts like this?

"So Lady An, how long are you gonna be in town for?" he casually asked.

"Hmm, not for long I'm leaving soon." She said.

"Really? And where will you be going?" At least he will get the place.

"Home." Like where else would she go other than the Edelweiss Forest?

"Ha! Right." He didn't know what to say.

"Oh right! Lady An I have a question do you mind answering it?" He remembered something from awhile back.

"Sure."

"Why are you here?"

Angelica stopped eating her steak hearing his question.

"Why do you want to know?"

"A witch would not be a person that causally strolls down the street of humans." A light flash past his golden eyes.

"What dumb reasoning. I'm here because of a injured friend." She felt annoyed.

"Oh?" His eyes moved to her shoulder and said to her, "Are you not injured too?" He could smell blood from her long ago.

Angelica kept quite and didn't answer his question instead she finished up her food quickly. She didn't like the question he asked and so she sat quietly and acted like he didn't exist.

She felt hurt and now she remembered why her grandmother said words are the worst.

'The most harmful thing in this world is words. They can be spoke but never taken back. That's why be careful with your words.'

Ivan didn't miss the light in her eyes since he had been watching her since the beginning of dinner. It looked like she raised her guard against, he could tell it was on purpose that she did that.

'It looks like I've offend her'

"Thanks for the food." Angelica was grateful and she quickly called the waiter over. She pulled out her pouch and was getting ready to pay when the man spoke.

"Don't worry about the bill, I paid long ago." Ivan said.

Angelica only said 'Oh' and then exited the restaurant. She turned to the man and thank him before turning away coldly.

Ivan saw that he was given a cold shoulder and it didn't sit right with him. He anxiously called out to her.

"Lady An!"

Angelica stopped and turned around to the man and only raised her brows.

"Sorry for over steeping my boundaries. I didn't mean to offend you. It just related to a case, that's why I asked." He bowed to her and sincerely said.

Angelica still had her cold face on but she still told him not to worry about it. She turned to her heel and walked away without looking back.

The night view became gloomy for the both of them.
