Female Novel
Chapter 262
“Don’t forget what you said. As long as you finish this perfectly, you’ll be let off the hook.” Hades’ earstud gleamed cunningly, just like his eyes, and his smile made Selena shiver.
“Yes, but this is the final S-class. Deal?”
“Yes, it is.”
“How should I trust you?” Selena was no fool, for she knew Hades was a capricious man; he couldbe jolly one moment, but a furious demon the next. By now, Selena knew Hades to be an illogicaland irrational person, as well as an oddity. That was how Selena saw him.
“So what if you don’t trust me?”
His reply made her heart sink. He’s playing me for a fool! But he’s right. So what if I don’t trust him?What can I do even if he reneges on the promise again? He could make and break me. This man’struly a demon. Selena bit her lip, almost drawing blood, but all she could do was stare at him. Shecouldn’t do anything else.
“This is the last one.” Hades took off his ring and put it on the table.novelbin
Selena knew that ring; it was Hades’ symbol. Now, he was using the ring as collateral. If he wouldbreak the promise once again, he would never take the ring back.
“Alright.” Selena took the ring and left without saying another word. When she went downstairs,Selena took Juniper and left without saying goodbye to her colleagues.
When everyone had seen her off, Hades came down. “Did you fight, boss?” Joshua asked. “Whydidn’t you tell her you helped her escape when she was in Astoria? She probably doesn’t know ityet.”
“Time for an S-class mission.” Hades’ gaze darkened.
Everyone started becoming nervous, for it had been a long while since they had an S-class mission.They stood straight, waiting for the command, but Hades didn’t speak for a long while. Wheneveryone was starting to look at one another in confusion, he blurted, “Prepare for the proposal.”
Everyone’s eyes widened.
“P-Proposal?”
“Are you sure? The S-class mission is a proposal?” S-class missions are the toughest among all!But it’s going to be a proposal?
“Who are you proposing to?” Ken whispered.
Everyone rolled their eyes at him. “Is that a trick question?” Barbie smacked his head.
Everyone could see that Hades loved Selena. He changed drastically ever since Selena joinedthem, and it was easily noticeable considering the fact that they had been following him for quite along time.
“Boss, um… Selena, well, she joined us in the first place so she could survive, so she doesn’t thinkmuch about anything else. And you haven’t been exactly nice to her,” Barbie said.
Hades had a weird way of expressing his love, for he was cruel and unforgiving toward her whenSelena just came. Selena might loathe him to his bones, but Melissa knew Hades was protectingher. The only way for her to live on was to become stronger, and Hades helped her in that aspect.
In response, Hades gave Barbie a cold look, and Ken stood before her immediately. “Boss, whatBarbie is saying is that this might not be the best time for a proposal.”
Melissa chimed in, “Yes, boss. This is too sudden of a proposal. It’s going to fail. Why don’t you tellher about your feelings first and slowly transition into the proposal? You’ll have a higher chance ofsuccess then.”
