Chapter 89 - Reina Wants To Be Kissed

"Do you understand?" Rudy asked as he stared deep into Scott's eyes.
No, he wasn't using his hypnosis ability. He was genuinely trying to scare Scott.
Rudy looked at his hand to see the black ashes all around his palm.
When he crushed the phone, the battery exploded. Of course, nothing happened to him, but it left the black spot on Rudy's palm.
Rudy helped Scott stand up and patted his shoulders. However, he was simply trying to wipe the ashes from his hand.
"Scott, you look like a fine, well-educated, well-mannered, and respectable man. But you and me, we both know that you are a piece of shit."
Rudy smiled at Scott and continued, "You have a bright future waiting for you, and you don't want that future to turn dark, right? So if you walk on the same path again, it will eventually turn dark, and not just dark…"
Rudy glared into Scott's eyes and uttered, "It will be pitch black, well under the grave."
"Now get in your car, and drive directly to your father or whoever runs the bank. Tell them all the money will be paid within two weeks."
Rudy pushed Scott into the car and closed the door. However, Scott didn't turn on the car, nor did he glance back at Rudy.
Rudy casually walked into the forest and disappeared from Scott's sight. Only then Scott turned on the car and drove away.
'He is going to have nightmares whenever he sleeps, and your smiling face will flash before his eyes,' Angelica commented.
"Hmm? How is that a nightmare then?" Rudy scoffed jokingly.
'Still, even if you had killed him and made it look like he died in an accident, you wouldn't have gotten caught, you know?" Angelica asserted.
"You always try to make me evil. Can I ask why?" Rudy uttered with a curious look on his face.
'Hmm. To be honest, I myself have no idea. Maybe it's because I don't have any sense of justice, and I can't tell what is right and what is wrong?' Angelica wondered.
'Because according to me, everyone has a reason to do what they do. And according to them, what they do is right even though it's wrong,' she added.
"I think I understand what you are trying to say. From a neutral point of view, everything seems right. But it's the morals and ideals that judge our actions. And everyone has different morals," Rudy stated.
"However, only my point of view matters to me. And if someone does anything which is wrong from my perspective, I will interfere if that matter is related to me or my loved ones," he added.
Rudy wanted to teleport back to Reina's office, but he was worried that someone might see him. Or what if someone was present in Reina's office when he teleported back?
Rudy flew for a while but then teleported to Reina's office in the end.
Fortunately, there was only Reina in the office, and she was sitting on her desk with her back to Rudy.
'What are you doing?!' Angelica asked out loud. 'Won't she get suspicious if you pop up in front of her like that?'
Angelica still didn't know that Reina already knew about Rudy's power since he had teleported her back to the water park from the hospital.
Rudy was about to call out Reina, but she stopped after he saw her touch her lips while looking at her phone screen.
Rudy walked closer to her and saw that Reina had Rudy's phone on the screen, and it was taken recently when he was working as a lifeguard.
'What is she doing?' Angelica wondered.
'I want to know that too…'
Reina puckered her lips and slowly moved her face closer to the phone. But she stopped and Zoomed on Rudy's face with the focus on his lips.
'...'
"..."
Both Rudy and Angelica had realized what Reina was trying to do.
Rudy wanted to stop Reina, but a part of him wished Reina to Continue, and that part won because he watched Reina kiss her phone with his lips on the screen.
"I can't believe he kissed me…" Reina muttered. "It was my first kiss, but he is experienced."
"..."
"Wait, was that even a kiss?" Reina asked herself. "Our lips barely touched. We didn't kiss like how they kiss in the movies. They look so… indecent."
"..."
"I wonder if Rudy had kissed a girl like that." After a brief pause, she muttered, "He probably has."
"..."
"I want to know how it feels. Maybe I would kiss Rudy like that one day…? Should I ask him to kiss me? But that's a little…"
Reina kept talking to herself as she asked questions and answered them soon after.
"What if I tell him that I want to practice kissing? Then I can kiss him as many times as I want. But… would he agree? What if he thinks I am a pervert?"
'Don't worry, I know a bigger pervert than you,' Rudy uttered inwardly.
Reina was going to kiss the phone's screen again, but as she had been talking to herself for a while, her screen turned off, resulting in it to work as a mirror.
There, she saw Rudy's reflection standing behind her. She slowly jerked her head back to confirm she wasn't seeing things, and she saw Rudy staring at her with an awkward smile on his face.
"Since… when… are you here…?" Reina asked while stuttering with a pale face.
"I… just got here…" Rudy replied awkwardly and averted his gaze because he couldn't look into Reina's eyes, or she would have ended up crying.
"You are lying!" she said with a flushed face.
"Well… what did you want me to say…?" Rudy turned his face to the side and said, "I thought I would save you from embarrassment."
Reina's face twitched with varied expressions on her face. She was happy, sad, angry, disappointed, and embarrassed.
She bit her lips and ran out of her office.
"Wait…!"
Rudy followed her and saw her entering the locker room.
