Tempting Fate Chapter 123

123 Chapter 123: A Deal- Making Demon

Avery and Reed walked to the place where people rarely walked. A clean and noiseless part of the road can be noticed in the area. Avery looked around while Reed was walking, relaxed. Later they saw a man, he looked like a student. Reed stopped walking, so Avery stopped walking too. She noticed the way Reed was looking. Then she turned to the bar’s signage.

“Can we get in?” Avery asked Reed.

“No. We’ll wait here, of course.” Reed said.

Reed leaned his feet against the wall near the bar and relaxed. Avery stood next to him.

“What’s going on inside?” Avery asked.

Meanwhile, the man turned inside the bar. There was no one there except the female bartender, who was busy wiping glasses. He approached slowly while continuing to look around.

“Hmmm, it looks like you haven’t been drinking hard drinks...” said the woman.

The man looked at her. He then placed his bag on the other stool and sat down next to it. The woman was smiling while busy with what she did. It mixes a cocktail drink.

“I can fulfill your request. Anything you want.”

“Really?”

“Just say it, and I’ll give it right away.” the woman said, smiling.

The man was silent, thinking. “Bully. They are your problem, aren’t they?” the woman placed the cocktail drink on top of the nook right in front of the man.

The man nodded. “Yes, they are. There isn’t a day they don’t bully me, affecting my studies.”

“I understand. People like them are really annoying. I know the feeling.”

The man took the cocktail drink and drank it. The woman noticed his reaction.

“Use it up. You know, it’s free, so you shouldn’t be wasting it.”

The man nodded. The woman was waiting while the man gulped little by little. Eventually, he finished the glass. The man ate the cherry garnish and placed the glass on the nook. The woman smiled.

“Very good. Nothing wasted.” the woman took the glass and placed it at a distance. “What do you want to ask for? Do you want to be stronger than them? You want to retaliate?”

“I might lose my scholarship if I retaliate.”

The woman raised her eyebrows and did not expect the man’s answer. The man took a deep breath.

“You don’t want to retaliate? You don’t want to be strong because of the scholarship?” the man nodded. “Then you want to be rich. Have a lot of money so you can be powerful. Isn’t money the most powerful thing in this world? I can give it to you.”

“The money will run out, too.” the woman was surprised. “I’m still studying and don’t know where to use the money.”

“Go into business. Give it to your parents so they can decide.” said the woman.

The man took another deep breath. “My mother doesn’t know anything about that. My father is drunk, so he will spend the money on alcohol.”

The woman was having a hard time. He closed his eyes for a moment and looked at the man again.

“Then what do you want?” the woman held back in annoyance.

“I want someone else to kill them.” the man looked at the woman seriously.

The woman’s aura changed because of what she heard. “Are you sure about your request?”

The man nodded. “As long as I don’t get emotional. It’s better if everything looks like an accident.” the man said, smiling.

“Your wish is...”

“Wait, is there really no substitute?”

The woman raised her eyebrows. “If there is something in return, what will you do?”

“I take back my wish.”

“Why?”

I have nothing to pay...”

The woman giggled. “You have something to pay, and I’m sure of it.”

“I don’t have money. What can I pay for?”

The woman did not answer.

—–

“What is going on? Why did the man take so long to come out? Maybe he was killed?” Avery asked.

Reed just smirked and didn’t answer. They noticed the man coming out of the bar a few moments later. It just walked silently and passed in front of them. Avery immediately approached the man.

“Hi...” Avery said.

The man turned to Avery. “Hello.”

“Ah, because we saw you coming from inside...”

Avery had not finished speaking when the man suddenly closed his eyes and then opened his eyes again.

“Tell me what you did inside...” Reed said.

Avery turned to him. “What?”

“You used him with...”

“Do you think that will admit to what they talked about inside?”

Avery frowned, then looked at the man again.

—–

“You really don’t remember anything?” Jasmin asked. “Avery and I witnessed how your feelings for Sir Reed developed.”

Emy and Jasmin are sitting by the swimming pool. They talk about Reed because Emy has a lot of questions, and Reed says that only her friends and family can answer them.

“So he’s really my husband?”

“Of course. Why can’t you believe it?”

“He’s just so handsome. It’s impossible for him to like me.”

“Why is it impossible? You’re beautiful.”

Emy didn’t speak. She can’t believe that a man as handsome as Reed is her husband, and he shows her how much he loves her.

“Don’t get too close to Sir Devin...”

Emy turned to Jasmin. “Why? Do I have an issue with Devin?”

“Sir Reed is really jealous of her.”

“Seriously? Why?”

“Why? Sir Devin likes you, you’re not married, yet he’s already hanging around you, but you love Sir Reed more that’s why he didn’t do anything to steal you, but...”

“But....”

“Sir Devin, he always saves you. I’m not saying that Sir Reed doesn’t protect you. He takes care of you so much that there are times when he can’t save you, like when you almost die after you got stabbed. Sir Reed didn’t have the power to use you, but Sir Devin, he was the one who treated you. It’s always been like that until now. In exchange for Sir Devin healing you, you lost your memory of Sir Reed.”

Emy was silent. ‘Is that why I don’t remember anything about Reed?’

“Sir Devin is kind. Everyone knows his kind, especially you, but you have a husband, Miss Emy. Everyone knows who your husband is. Don’t be angry. I’m just telling you the truth that you want to know.”

Emy nodded. “Don’t worry, I don’t plan to get angry,” she laughed.

“Why did you suddenly ask?”

“Hi girls...”

Jasmin and Emy turned to the swimming pool. Devin walked toward them with a smile, and the two women smiled back. Devin sat next to Emy, and the girl was surprised when he suddenly kissed her on the lips. Even Jasmin was surprised by what Devin did.

“How long have you been here, Jasmin?”

“Ah, about an hour ago, Sir...”

Devin frowned. “You alone? Where’s Avery?”

“She is with Sir Reed today. They are quite busy,” said Jasmin.

“They are too busy. Maybe later, Avery will fall in love with Reed. They will always be together.” Devin said.

“That won’t happen, Sir. Miss Emy is another friend of Avery’s.”

“Okay,” Devin said, laughing.

Jasmin looked away from Devin. It seems like a mad plan.

——

Avery followed the man while Reed was left in front of the bar. After discovering what the man and anyone inside the bar talked about, Reed had Avery follow the man.

.....

“Hep, where are you going?” asked the guard.

They prevented him from entering the university. He took a deep breath and walked away from the guards.

Meanwhile, Reed was staring at the woman who entered the bar. Its aura is sad, full of anger. Reed smiled slightly.

When the woman entered the bar, she turned around. There were no other people there, but the ambiance was great. Clean and fragrant inside. A woman was busy wiping the tables. She walked towards her.

“Hi...” the woman greeted the bartender.

The bartender turned to the woman. She was a little surprised by the woman’s appearance. A fat woman was standing in front of her, she was beautiful, but because of her body size, she lacked self-confidence. She wore eyeglasses. She has short wavy hair, and she wears weird clothes.

“Hello, beautiful...” the bartender said, smiling.

The fat woman turned around. The bartender laughed lightly.

“Besides me, who else is beautiful here?” the woman walked closer to the corner, and the fat woman followed her.

The fat woman sat on the stool and placed the bag on the nook.

“What alcohol do you drink?”

“Liquor?” the woman was slightly embarrassed. “I do not drink.”

The bartender giggled. “A wine, maybe?”

The fat woman did not answer. He watches what the woman is doing.

“I can fulfill your request. Anything you want.” said the bartender.

“Seriously?” the fat woman couldn’t believe it.

The bartender smiled. “So, you like a guy but don’t notice...”

The fat woman was surprised by what the bartender said. The bartender placed the wineglass in front of the woman.

“Drink...”

“I do not drink...”

“Drink it..” said the bartender. “I’m giving that wine to you for free even if the brand is loved. So don’t waste it.”

The fat woman felt embarrassed and took the wine glass. The bartender smiled as the fat woman drank. He was surprised by the taste of the wine and looked at the bartender.

“It’s delicious.”

“Of course.” said the bartender. “Do you want the man you like to like you? I can grant your wish.”

“How could he like me then? What he likes is the beautiful and sexy girl.”

“I can make you a more beautiful and hot woman. All men can possibly like you, especially the man you want.”

The fat woman just laughed and ended emptied the wine glass.

The bartender’s smile widened. “Say your wish...”

“I want to be beautiful and sexy so that the man I like will like me.”

That word came out of the woman’s mouth like smoke. The bartender took a deep breath and sniffed the woman’s words.

“Ahhh!” the bartender moaned, staring at the fat woman. “Your wish is my command...”

Reed noticed the door of the bar open, and a beautiful, sexy, slim woman came out. He frowned because his clothes were the same as the fat woman who came in 10 minutes ago. The woman met some men from the bar and stared at them. The woman was surprised and hurriedly walked away.
