Chapter 275
However, Hades classified a marriage proposal to her as an S-class mission.
“This is the final S-class mission. As per our agreement, you’re free to leave after completing this mission.”
Selena opened her mouth, yet no words came. Since this is a marriage proposal, the completion of the mission is naturally the success of the proposal, but I’m the intended recipient. In other words, the mission is only considered successful if I agree to his proposal, thus freeing myself from this place. However, once I agree to his marriage proposal, I have to marry him! So, even if it’s successful, I still won’t be free of him! Sure enough, he’s Hades that he could come up with such a tactic. “You’ll go as far as proposing marriage to me just to have me stay?” Biting her lip, she gazed at him. “What’s the point?”
The corners of Hades’ mouth lifted. “You may take it however you want. Anyway, this is the final S- class mission.”
“What if I decline?” A hint of irritation swamped Selena. He’s obviously toying with me! At that thought, she shot to her feet furiously. I want to leave this dark place and be free of everything here! I want to have a normal life! This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
“Then, you’ll have to remain under my command.” Hades shrugged nonchalantly.
In response, Selena bit her lip so hard that blood beaded. “Don’t you think this is very despicable of you?”
Hades merely chuckled without answering her. Standing up, he slowly walked over to her and used his thumb to lightly wipe off the blood on her lip. Instinctively, Selena dodged, causing him to freeze for a moment before retracting his hand.
“Boss, I beg you.” Selena’s voice turned servile and shaky. For Juniper’s sake, she didn’t mind abandoning all her dignity.
Stretching out a hand, Hades lifted her chin. As he scrutinized her face, another face seemingly flashed in his mind. Nonetheless, he promptly snapped back to reality. “Marry me. This is an order!”
Finally, Selena lifted her eyes to him. “Do you even love me?”
Hades tilted his head as though finding this question hilarious. “I only love myself.”
“It just so happens to be the same for me. Therefore, why should we get together? Marriage is between two people in love.”
“What if I just want it?” Hades grabbed her around the waist and plastered her close to him.
Upon hearing this, Selena couldn’t quite understand what he meant by ‘want’.
“In this world, there’s nothing I want that I cannot get!” After saying that, Hades ripped her shirt.
Only at that moment did Selena believe that his marriage proposal was serious. Although she didn’t know his true motive in proposing marriage, she knew that he truly wanted her.
At this exact moment, someone suddenly stood at the door. “I’m back, boss.”
This voice sounds just too familiar. Selena abruptly swung her gaze to the door, only to be greeted by the sight of Linda. It’s actually Linda!
Hades’ expression darkened a shade, and he released Selena. At the same time, Selena promptly buttoned her shirt, even though many buttons had scattered on the floor from the force he’d exerted. Nonetheless, she didn’t look indecent after she’d buttoned the rest.
“I seem to have returned at an inopportune time.” As Linda said this, she whirled around to leave.
“Stop right there!” Selena thundered.
Linda halted, yet she didn’t dare turn back around.
Then, Selena stalked over to her. “Why are you here?” She called him ‘boss’ just now, so she’s his subordinate. Never had I suspected that among so many graduates, the assistant whom I’ve chosen and always trusted would actually be his subordinate!
