The Alien King's Alluring Obsession

Edna

"Okay." I replied to the lady that passed the information.

It was not time to go back to our dormitories yet. There was no way for me to avoid this meeting with Madam Tayo.

Any move of avoidance at this very moment would be evidence of my guilt too. It was better to speak to her and give her the wrong impression. After that, I will think of more solutions from then on.

I followed the lady that passed the message outside. We walked a little.

Finally, the lady stopped.

Like I had suspected, Madam Tayo was waiting patiently for my arrival. Her eyes lit up when she saw me walk closer. I wanted to roll my eyes. She was being too dramatic. The lady that brought me here left quietly.

I looked at Madam Tayo without making any moves. She was the one that wanted to speak to me, she should make the first move.

Besides, I wanted to use anything she does as a way to plan my response accordingly.

"Hi, I heard your name is Morgan. My name is Madam Tayo. I run Flower Embrace Brothel." Madam Tayo said.

She was not even shy as she introduced where she worked. I nodded.

Part of my mind continued to wonder about how she found me.

She must have met up with Mr Blake. Madam Tayo was scary.

For her to latch onto me after everything I tried to do to escape was eerie.

I plastered a fake smile on my lips, "Hello, Madam Tayo. I don't know what you wish to speak to me about."

The smile on Madam Tayo's face dimmed, "The thing is, I heard about the case you were involved in. The dead body with a different face in that alley was wearing the clothes of someone I am looking for. Since you are the only other person alive that is related to this particular case, I decided to come and see you." Madam Tayo explained.

I shrugged, "I don't know anything about the case other than what I have already explained to the police. I just went there to escape my pursuers. I don't know how the lady died and I don't know how the thug was knocked unconscious. You can call me an innocent passerby. I would not be able to help you find whoever you are looking for. I am so sorry."

"Don't apologize. Still, your words are wrong. You can help me. I believe you are an important clue to finding that runaway prostitute. I don't know why she escaped, I had been treating her so well." Madam Tayo sighed.

I wanted to roll my eyes so bad. Which kind of lies was Madam Tayo spinning?

If she was trying to make me very disgusted so I would blow my cover, she was about succeed. I could feel a tiny migraine forming.

The urge to tell her she was lying to her face was strong but I suppressed it.

"I won't be able to help you and I don't know how many times I have to repeat this for you to get it. I don't know who you are looking for, what she looks like or anything else." The exasperation was clear in my voice.

"This is a picture of the lady that escaped. Her name is Edna." She brought a tablet out and showed me the screen.noveldrama

My picture was on it.

I didn't remember wearing the kind of clothes I was seeing on the person in the picture. I don't know if this picture was engineered by some kind of technology.

"I haven't seen anyone like this." I said, "If this is everything you want to speak to me about, I will take my leave now. I still have a few things to do. Please, pardon me."

I didn't want to spend one extra second in Madam Tayo's presence if I could help it. Besides, talking to her might reveal my flaws. I tried my best to be as different from the persona Madam Tayo knew. Still, nothing was 100% guaranteed or safe.

The moment the last word dropped for my lips, I made a move to leave. Madam Tayo's chilly voice came from behind me.

"That's fine. This will not be our last meeting." She said.

Her last sentence was like a threat and a promise. It was creepy too.

I continued to ruminate on her words as I returned to the backstage area.

What did she mean?

It was obvious that Madam Tayo suspected something and she wasn't ready to leave anytime soon.

I was on tenterhooks since she arrived. Madam Tayo hadn't made any strange moves. There was no other choice but to wait and see how things would go.

Angelo was not in the backstage area.

I thought he said everyone that had done their performances had to remain till the closing appearance?

Speak of the devil and he would appear.

I looked up to see Angelo returning to the backstage area.

His brow was wrinkled.

"I know you said you didn't need my help and that I shouldn't interfere. Still, I can't help myself." He sighed.

"What is wrong? Speak properly and stop beating around the bush." I urged.

"I asked the lady that passed the message to describe how Madam Tayo looked. Then,

I monitored her a little. I saw her talking to boss snake. She just met him a few minutes ago. I just wanted to inform you about this." Angelo said, "I don't know if it would be of help."

My sixth sense was releasing a blaring alarm.

Something seemed to be terribly wrong.

"Thank you for the information. I would be back." I commented before leaving the backstage area again.

I backtracked and went to the area Madam Tayo and I spoke.

She wasn't there anymore but I could see her figure a few distances away.

Like Angelo said earlier, she was talking to boss snake.

The two of them were smiling. I don't know what was so funny.

I shook my head to get rid of the pessimistic mood I was sinking in. I didn't go too

close. I don't want Madam Tayo or boss snake to notice me.

The two of them were both bad news.

I moved a little bit closer.

The mouths of the two people standing together were moving. I couldn't hear what

they were saying so I opted for the next best thing.

My eyes concentrated on Madam Tayo's lips so I could read what she was saying.

She was the first priority.
