The Wife Of The Underworld Lord Is A CEO - Chapter 172
Quin saw the disgusted look in his eyes. She lowered her head and pain, Rayn scoffed and left,”None of your business.” He said, stopping across her.
Quin didn’t say anything and nodded her head, she knew if she opened her, the first thing to leave was her sobs.
Quin ran away, to let others see her tears. She went to the bathroom and looked at herself.
Yes, she was not a beauty like other girls, but does beauty mean a fake face full of makeup. Yes, someone gets the confidence from the makeup but wants to try to look good but she was happy being like how she is, does she have to change so much for him.
Yes, if he wants school beauty instead of a nerd, she would do it without hesitation. She took off her glass, and opened her hair to let it flow freely. Thankfully, she keeps basic makeup inside her bag, if she has to meet her family or anyone else outside school.
After the makeup, she looked like a different person, Rayn never noticed her, she always tried to stay modest and humble in front of him trying to show herself, but he just felt disgusted with her because she was not putting makeup on, she was into studies and wanted to get good marks? Was it wrong to be yourself and follow your dream?
“You will not hate me after today, or will feel disgusted to talk to me.” She said looking up at herself in the mirror.
She walked out of the toilet, people were really surprised seeing her, boys started to stare at her, while girls started to get jealous of her.

Sara took Michael to the infirmary, to get his wounds treated. She peeked inside to look for the nurse but no one was there.
She opened the door and went inside and looked for the first-aid box.
Michael sat down on the bed, and took off his glasses, Sara took a peek from her corner of her eyes and saw Michael without glasses.
Sara found more handsome without those glasses, her heart started fluttering seeing how enchanting his face was. She gulped a bit. He was becoming an eye-candy for her. When did she even start feeling like that for opposite males.
She never thought that a guy could be so enchanting, she took the box and went up to him; afraid of making eye contact with him.
She took out some cotton and poured some antiseptic liquid on it. She rubbed his wounds carefully, he hissed a bit from the pain.
“Sorry, I would be more careful.” Sara apologized, seeing him hissing. She was about to apply medicine, but Michael retracted back, Sara stopped seeing him retracting.
She bit her lower lips,”I-I am sorry for what happened with you.” She said lowering her head a bit.
“Why?” Michael asked.
“Huh?” Sara was baffled by his question.
“Why did you take advantage of me and force me to be your boyfriend when you have a fiance? If you want a double timer I am not interested?” He asked, looking the other way.
“Double Timer?” Sara can’t believe his words; Yes, she was brazen and kissed him in front of all but she will never accept someone calling her double timer. She never accepted the engagement then why was she called a double timer.
“Understood, I will leave now, I will call the nurse.” Sara said, keeping the cotton and dashing towards the door. But stopped suddenly, clasping the door knob,”And I never agreed to the engagement, it was just proposed by the both families which I already disagreed.” She said before leaving.
Michael looked towards her hearing her, but before he could stop her going she already left.
He got up and was about to follow, suddenly he bumped into someone, he didn’t notice who the person was, he just said sorry and left.
Michael followed Sara to the out. She leaned on a wall, kicking the pebbles below. Her eyes were downcast, her lips were drawn into a thin line, she was biting her lower lips.
He went a bit close to her, her eyes were puffy and wet, seeing that Michael felt guilty for some reason. He just remarked without listening to her.
He took out his handkerchief from his pocket and passed it to her. She looked up seeing the handkerchief. She didn’t think he would come and look for her, she turned her head away and rubbed the tears with her shirt.
“What are you doing here?” Sara asked, rubbing her eyes.
“Sorry, I should have not commented on that.” Michael said, guilt ridden.
“It’s okay, I took advantage of you and you even got hurt because of me.” Sara replied, smiling sweetly.
Michael rubbed back of his neck, smiling awkwardly, he didn’t know why but his heart skipped a bit, seeing her smile. Was she an enchantress. How can she make his heart skip a beat everytime, and they have met only today.
“Thanks.” Sara stated, looking below. Michael didn’t know why she was suddenly saying thanks to him.
“Thanks for?” Michael asked, raising his brow.
“For helping me out with the engagement thing.” Sara replied.
“Will you tell me what was happening with your engagement if you don’t mind.” Michael asked, leaning on the wall beside her.
She at first hesitated to say finally she told him everything. From the engagement decided by the families, the only way for her to not get engaged was to find a boyfriend; and her challenge with Rayn. She told him everything.
Sara was a girl who didn’t like to share her thoughts with others, but she can’t control herself from telling him and most of all she finds relief and peace after sharing it.
As if a heavy boulder was taken away from her, and now she could breathe freely.
“Mm.” Michael nodded, he didn’t comment anything.
It was awkward but peaceful between them, both found peace. They stood silently there.
