Zosia: Quick Transmigration System
Chapter 130 - 128- ARC 4 [New Girlfriend]

"Sit." Nicholas said, pointing at the seat opposite him.

Zosia complied, lowering herself into the chair with a faint arch of her brow. "So, why did you have me come here?" Her tone carried curiosity, though it leaned toward impatience.

"Always in a rush." Nicholas muttered as he poured a drink into two glass cups. Turning to Zosia, he said as he handed her a glass.

"Nothing much though."

Zosia did like she hadn't heard his comment about him, saying that she was always in a rush. She couldn't help but wonder if to them, that was how Auriel appeared as — as someone always in a rush.

"Just spit it out." She commented, taking the drink offered to her.

Taking a sip, she looked at Nicholas, waiting for his answer.

"It's about my brother." He started, his tone full of worry, "What exactly happened between you both? Why the sudden break up? Why is he acting like that?" Nicholas threw a barrage of questions at Zosia, who had to pause her drinking and look at him.

"First..." She was about to say something, but she was interrupted by the door being pushed open.

She looked at the door to see the person and seeing Killan appear before her, she looked at Nicholas, her eyes filled with inquiry, "Why is he here?"

"Brother, I didn't know you would be coming here." Nicholas said, approaching his brother to give him a hug, but Killan placed his hand on his chest and gently pushed him away.

Zosia watched the scene while sipping from her drink, not caring about what was happening.

"Brother, who is she?" Nicholas asked, his gaze landing on the girl whose hand was held by Killan.

"She is my girlfriend." Killan announced, his gaze on Auriel, as if waiting for her reaction.

Zosia looked up, her gaze moving from Killan to the girl beside him. Looking at the girl with chestnut eyes that glinted under the warm light of the room like a gem that sparkled under the sunlight.

Zosia studied the lady's face. Seeing that it had no resemblance whatever to her, she thought inwardly, "Seems like he has really moved on from Auriel."

Zosia used the analysis function on her,

"Nice to meet you, sister-in-law." She said with an enchanting smile.

Killan intensely scrutinized Zosia's actions and seeing that she didn't even have any emotion apart from happiness, he couldn't help but clench his other fist.

Nicholas noticed the clench fist and frowned, "What could brother be planning?" He wondered, his gaze darting between Zosia and Killan.

Zosia relaxed in the chair, "Why are you guys still standing?" She asked, seeing that they still stood at the door.

Killan sat down, his hand still clasping the girl's hand in his.

"So, why are you guys here?" Zosia asked, taking two extra glasses and pouring a drink for them.

Killan looked at Zosia, his eyes flashing with something imperceptible.

"Could it be that she and Nicholas had already started dating?" He thought inwardly.

Instead of answering Zosia's question, Killan asked in return.

"I should be asking you that. What are 'You' doing here?

"I don't know... He called me here." Zosia said, pointing at Nicholas.

"I had to. No one has heard your voice ever since. I thought you've died or committed suicide without anyone knowing." Nicholas said, downing his wine in one go.

"Tsk... I don't have such a weak mentality." Zosia said with a sneer.

"Hey, which family is she from?" Zosia asked Killan, her gaze landing on the quiet girl, who had a nervous smile as she looked at them.

"Don't be uncomfortable. We wouldn't do anything to you. Besides, you are now part of the family.. I guess," Zosia said, pouring herself another glass of wine.

"Yeah, brother, introduce us to her." Nicholas said with a smile.

Killan glanced at the two of them, his eyes narrowing. He glanced at the girl by his side and, seeing how she shifted nervously in her chair, he decided to introduce them to her.

"This is my brother—Nicholas." The word brother tasted bitter and sour in his mouth, but he could only suppress the feeling that surged in his heart.

"And this is Auriel." He said, pointing at Zosia, who glanced at the nervous girl with a smile.

"Everyone, her name is Layla."

"Hi.. Nice to meet you all. Please take care of me." The girl said shyly, tucking her hair behind her ear.

"Nice to meet you too," Zosia and Nicholas said at the same time.

Just then Nicholas' phone rang.

"Excuse me." Nicholas said and walked to the side of the room.

Zosia glanced at him but said nothing. Inwardly, she couldn't help but think. "Should she still stay or take an excuse to leave. After all, she hadn't come here for anything serious."

"I should get going. I still have to look for a job." Zosia said, gulping down the last drink in her cup.

As she was about to drop her call, she heard Nicholas' frantic voice.

"What do you mean, there is a problem with the boxing ring?"

Zosia didn't have to strain her ears as the voice from the other end of the phone drifted into her ear.

"Someone died during the match and now, we don't know how to settle it....."

"I am coming. Just stay there and clean up everything." Nicholas said, rubbing his furrowed brows.

"Brother, sister-in-law, Auriel, I am leaving. Enjoy." He said, picking up his coat. Turning to Zosia, he said, "Sorry I couldn't entertain you even after making you come out."

"No problem. I am also leaving anyway." Zosia said and stood up.

"Then let me drop you off," Nicholas offered.

"No need. I came in my car." Zosia said.

Killan, who was about to sip his drink, paused, his eyelids lowered, covering the emotions that clouded his eyes as he gazed at them.

To him, they were acting, and all they were doing was just a cover.

"I thought you are running to go deal with the problem your men caused?" Killan said, his voice a little cold, masking the emotions in them.

"Yeah. I will leave then. Take care." Nicholas said and immediately left the room.

"I should also go," Zosia said with a smile.

"Since Nicholas can't drop you off, let me drop you on the road. I still need to go somewhere with Layla."

Zosia raised her eyebrow at his words.

His words and tone of saying them just sounded wrong in her ears. Cos, why did it sound like she is the one begging him to drop her off?

"Like I said, I brought a car with me. Bye then. Take care, Layla." Zosia offered a meticulous smile and turned to leave.

"Let's go as well." Killan said to Layla, who nodded her small head in response.

Zosia rolled her eyes, then bent the door handle and left the room.

As she walked down the stairs, she noticed that Killan and Layla were behind her. She felt a little uncomfortable by Killan's intense stare, and Layla also noticed how Killan was looking at her.

To Layla, today had been a huge surprise to her.

First, she managed to escape the dreaded place that had kept her hostage, then she almost got into an accident.

Thinking about the scene where Killan had almost hit her with his car, she shuddered.

She may not have been walking beside him if he hadn't stepped on the brake on time.

Luckily for her, he'd picked her up, seeing how ragged she looked.

To her, Killan was a good Samaritan. He even took her to a hotel to bathe and dress up, then brought her here to eat, even though she is yet to actually eat anything.

Thinking of the scene where Killan had introduced her to his family, as his girlfriend, she blushed.

Her heart felt ticklish, like as if a feather was brushing around them lightly.

Looking at the lady in front of her as they went down the stairs, she noticed how Killan looked at her.

Despite losing her memories, it didn't mean that she was a fool not to notice the tension between them.

"Could Killan have introduced me as his girlfriend due to her?" She thought inwardly.

The more she thought about it, the more plausible it felt.

She couldn't help but glance sideways, her eyes taking in the handsome face that had captured her heart upon first glance.

She couldn't help but get lost in looking at his handsome face that she skipped a stair and almost fell.

Killan immediately grabbed her hand, halting her fall.

"Thank you." She muttered shyly.

Killan nodded and said nothing. Only holding her tighter as he led her down the stairs.

Killan, on the other hand, was lost in thought. Him following behind Auriel was just to see the car she spoke of. To know if she was actually bluffing, or she really had one.

As they left the restaurant for the garage, he watched as Zosia took a car key from her purse and walk to a modest car.

Seeing how modest the car was, he wondered if the Queens had bought it for her as a parting gift.

Zosia entered the car, not bothering with the duo who were following her.

Switching on the engine, Zosia pulled the car away from her parking spot and reversed.

"Thank you for having me and nice to meet you, once again sister-in-law." Zosia said the moment she drove to their side with the car.

Killan said nothing, his intense gaze peering into Zosia's eyes like as if he was searching for something.

Layla smiled shyly and nodded, "Me too."

Zosia nodded in response, her gaze lingering on both of them one more time as she used analyze on them before leaving.

The moment her car veered off, Killan turned to Layla, "Let's go... You still need to eat while they try to find who your parents are and where you are from."

Killan walked towards his car after saying that. Layla immediately followed behind him.

"Um, could... Could... I stay with you till then. I don't have anywhere to go.. and I.. am scared." Layla stuttered, her head down as she stared at her toes.

Killan glanced at her. Since he already made up a lie about her being his girlfriend, he decided to continue it.

"Fine. But I have some rules."

"That's not a problem. I will make sure not to violate anything." Layla swore, her smile becoming radiant.

Seeing how Layla smiled inevitably reminded him of Auriel. Shaking his head to get rid of his thoughts about her, he decided not to care about what she did to his brother or whatever they had going on, else he might not be able to restrain himself and kill them the second time.

They soon left the parking lot as well.
