The Saintess Is A Villainess

110: RIVALS

"Ah, if it isn't the Lady. It's been a while..." Benjamin greeted me upon seeing Felicia walking towards the counter. Seems like the lady is here again with another request. "My master has been very eager to meet you, my Lady." Benjamin said with a teasing smile while Felicia just shrugged her head, smiling at his joke.

"Hello, same request," Felicia replied while eyeing the Bartender about what she wanted. Without further ado, Benjamin nodded his head and grinned, giving them a sign to follow him.

But upon seeing the lady's escorts, Benjamin couldn't help but to cock his eyebrow upon seeing an unfamiliar man, together with the Lady. He couldn't distinguish the man as he was wearing a longer cloak, hiding who he was and he was not able to disclose it since it was in their rule.

"A new companion, huh?" Benjamin asked as he led them towards the room where the guild master was currently staying. Upon the mention of a new companion, Felicia couldn't help but sigh once more as she wasn't able to push Alistair away from ever following her.

"Yeah, new companion," Felicia responded, didn't want the conversation to become lengthy. As soon as they stopped in front of the door, Benjamin knocked three times first, before slowly opening the door and revealing a luxurious room, where the Guild master could be found in the centre, looking at Felicia in surprise.

"Felicia! It's been a while-" He exclaimed, bursting in happiness but soon the surprise in his face vanished upon seeing an unfamiliar man, beside Felicia who refuses to leave despite Benjamin telling him off to leave. The meeting is only exclusive for Felicia and the guild master and this man won't give in.

"Who are you?" The guild master, Liam asked as Felicia entered the room, together with the man who still refused to leave the room. "Did you authorise this man to enter my room?" Liam asked, looking at Benjamin who immediately shrugged his head, looking helpless because of Alistair.

"He's with me. Don't worry, he won't be a bother." Felicia cut them off, sitting on the couch while Alistair did the same, making Liam look at Alistair with eyes wanting to skin him alive. Right here, right now. "It's been a while since we last saw each other, Liam. Busy, yes?" Felicia asked him with a professional smile.

"Yes... indeed, its been a while..." Liam coldly said, looking at the man and not paying any single attention towards her at all. 

"I could feel the cold stare, you know?" Alistair whispered closely at Felicia as he followed her, sitting next to her while looking at the Guild Master who was fuming mad right in his direction. Does that mean, even the Guild master is interested in Felicia?

Thinking about this, Alistair's mood went down while having a stare-off with the man in front of them, resonating with the energy that Liam was giving to the point that Felicia was muddled with the two acting like cats.

"Earth to everyone?" Felicia called, making the two men look at him softly like they had forgotten the fact that they were staring competitively at each other. She didn't understand that part though.

"Ehem... I apologize. I am strict with my clients having other companions since it's strictly between clients and service providers." Liam answered, throwing a passive-aggressive comment about Felicia bringing an unwanted man so suddenly.

He was happy earlier when he saw Felicia at the door until this man showed up and ruined the moment. Who the hell is he anyway? Why is he with Felicia? What's their relationship? Why is he mingling with Felicia?

"Ah... I apologize for bringing in someone without prior notice—"

"No, it's not your fault, Felicia. It's never your fault. No one's at fault here actually. It's just that people tend to assume that it's okay for them to join without asking for permission." Liam strikes again, giving an irk towards Alistair who was glaring at Liam.
