Chapter 46: She saw a ghost
At the same time, Alexander grabbed his coat and strode out of the Psychic Building.
Henry followed him, "You’re incredible. I’m so glad that I entrusted the Blizzard Martial Arts to you. My grandson has a great talent, and he wants to meet you. Do you have time?"
Just after a big battle, Alexander felt very weak. He opened his mouth to say something, but his body suddenly staggered and almost fell over.
The coagulated blood lodged in his throat, which he forced down.
Henry was shocked, "Are you hurt?"
Alexander shook his head, "It’s nothing serious. I’m a bit tired today. You go home first, and when there’s a chance, I will personally instruct your grandson."
"Alright, I’ll thank you on behalf of my grandson!" Henry left with a smile on his face.
Alexander was walking home alone. He took out his phone and first called Sophia, but it kept saying the call couldn’t be connected. Then he called Isabella, but her phone was also unanswered.
"That’s strange," Alexander felt puzzled. Are they both busy? But what could they be busy with?
The next moment, Alexander’s phone rang. He hurriedly took it out and saw a strange number displayed on the screen, furrowing his brow.
"Hello? Alexander, it’s me. I was too arrogant before, I need to apologize for my previous actions, I want to invite you to dinner, would that be okay?"
Alexander frowned, "Your injuries healed so quickly? Didn’t you just pass out?"
Laura’s voice came from the phone, "I have the protection of the Temple, so I woke up very soon. Even though it will take some time for my strength to recover, I still need to thank you. You helped me in the dream world just in time..."
"Alright, no more pleasantries. Send me the location," Alexander said.
"Um... I know a great restaurant, called Sunset Restaurant, located in the city center. It’s easy to find. I’ll send you the location on your phone," Laura replied.
"Alright." Alexander hung up the phone and headed towards the city center.
On the other side, Laura put down the phone, her beautiful cheeks flushed slightly.
...
About forty minutes later, Alexander arrived at the Sunset Restaurant. Laura was sitting by the window and quickly waved when she saw Alexander.
He walked up and sat down in front of her.
Seeing this, the men in the restaurant who had been silently observing Laura changed their expressions and sighed inwardly.
They had thought that the beautiful woman was alone and were preparing to make their moves. However, once Alexander appeared, they had to dismiss such thoughts.
Alexander looked at Laura and asked, "Although your injuries are healed, why has your strength regressed so much? Now you seem like an ordinary person."
Laura replied mysteriously, "Of course it’s the effect of divine power. Although the divine power has healed my body, I will be weak for about three days. During this time, I’m not a saint of the temple, you can just treat me as an ordinary woman."
"Oh, I see," Alexander said lightly.
Although Laura’s injuries were caused by Alexander, her mood was strangely good.
"Alexander, did you really listen to what I just said? During these three days, I won’t have the protection of divine power and will be an ordinary woman." Laura leaned forward, staring at Alexander’s face.
"So what? What are you trying to say?" Alexander shrugged.
Laura immediately lost interest and said in an annoyed tone, "Forget it, as if I didn’t say anything..."
While Laura was talking, Alexander called the waiter and ordered two steaks.
"I don’t want to eat, you just order your own," Laura said.
"I am ordering for myself," Alexander responded, raising an eyebrow.
Laura bit her lip, her feelings complex. She was the saint of the temple, her status was prestigious, and countless men adored her.
However, even though Laura had made things very clear today, she did not expect Alexander to seem indifferent.
"Sigh..." The more Laura thought about it, the more upset she became, sighing heavily.
Alexander looked at her with a puzzled expression, "Why are you sighing?"
"Because..." Laura was about to say something, but when she looked at Alexander’s handsome and mature face, she immediately shut her mouth, her fair cheeks blushing.
"What exactly do you want to say?" Alexander asked with a frown.
"Forget it, I won’t say it. You wouldn’t understand even if I did," Laura picked up the lemon water on the table and took a sip.
Before long, the two steaks that Alexander ordered were served.
Alexander lowered his head and began to eat two large steaks, while Laura turned her head to look out the window with complex emotions.
At this moment, Laura suddenly noticed that at a table outside the restaurant, a man wearing sunglasses was staring at her.
Laura was accustomed to such gazes and was not surprised. But the man’s next move made Laura’s face change.
The man removed his sunglasses, revealing a fairly handsome face. Judging by his features, he was probably about thirty years old, with a pair of amber eyes that set him apart.
He stared at Laura, blinked, and then blew a kiss to Laura. Such bold behavior was the first time Laura had encountered, and she immediately turned her head away.
Alexander was still eating his steak.
To avoid awkwardness, Laura lowered her head to drink her lemon water. After a minute or two, she stealthily glanced out the window. That man was still staring at her!
That’s too much!
Laura was somewhat annoyed and summoned a waiter.
"Dear Miss, may I help you?" the waiter asked.
Laura was about to explain the situation to the waiter when the man suddenly looked away. But Laura still said, "That man outside has been staring at me. Can you talk to him..."
"No problem, Miss, could you please tell me which gentleman outside you are referring to?" the waiter asked.
Laura pointed to the location where the man was sitting outside the window and said, "It’s the man in the suit!"
But at this moment, the waiter looked confused and said, "Miss, there is... no one sitting there!"
Hearing this, Laura’s face instantly changed. She widened her eyes and looked out the window, and the man was still sitting there!
"He is sitting right there! How can you say there’s no one?" Laura pointed outside the window again.
The waiter was confused and didn’t understand what Laura meant. In his view, that seat was empty, with no one sitting there.
"Miss, did you point to the wrong person?" the waiter asked patiently.
Laura looked out the window with a pale face. At this moment, the man suddenly turned his head and grinned at Laura.
"Ah!"
Laura was so scared by the smile that she shivered and screamed. The guests at the surrounding tables were attracted by the scream and turned their heads to look at Laura.
There was clearly a man sitting outside the window, and this man had been staring at her. But the waiter couldn’t see this man?
This situation was too similar to the horror movie she had seen before! She never dreamed that this would happen in real life! Most importantly, she is now weakened and is no different from an ordinary person!
"Miss, are you not feeling well? Do you need help?" The waiter was also a bit panicked because Laura’s performance didn’t seem normal.
"She’s fine, you go do your work." Alexander finished the steak on his plate, looked up and said to the waiter.
"...Okay." The waiter nodded and turned to leave.
Seeing Alexander finish the steak, Laura clung to Alexander’s hand like a lifeline, nervously asked: "Alexander, look outside quickly, is there a man sitting in that place?"
Alexander glanced outside, squinted slightly, turned his head and saw the terror on Laura’s face, a sense of wicked fun rose in his heart.
"Nothing." Alexander said.
"You can’t see it either..."
Laura was completely broken down.
That man was clearly sitting outside the window, still smiling at her! But besides her, no one else could see this man! There’s only one explanation for this situation.
She, she saw a ghost!
