Chapter 139 ENGRAVED

ZYAIR'S POINT OF VIEW

I drop the mic, creating a static sound. I step down the stage and walked passed the aisle, ignoring everyone. I saw Dashiel on my peripheral vision, giving me a thumbs up.

I was about to exit the gate when someone held my wrist. I turned around and saw Francine panting for breath.

I fended off her hands, and I saw how pain passes through her eyes.

"Z-Zyair."

I sighed. "What?"

She looks at me straight in the eye. "You don't need to do that."

"Did what?"

"Shame me in front of everyone! You could have talked to me on private instead of doing that! Don't you have any idea how embarrassed I am?!"

I chuckled sarcastically. "You're demanding to be respected after doing such disrespectful thing to me? What the fuck, Francine?!"

She was taken aback by my words.

I breathed deeply to calm myself. I need to remind myself that she's still a woman and I can't hurt her.
