Chapter 195 - Idol's bones as gifts

Currently, Seraphina and Dragon were watching the city view where they held their so-called honeymoon with a few cans of beers and snack.

"How long will you be gone?" Dragon spoke, breaking the silence surrounding them.

"A week or two -- a month at most." Seraphina answered. Unexpectedly, when she told Dragon that she will be leaving for a while, he didn't stop her and just agreed without batting an eye.

"Will you miss me?" Seraphina teases after sipping a little amount of beer. Her face was slightly flushed due to the liquor.

Dragon wrapped his arms around her. "If I do, will you not go?"

"Hehe, maybe." Seraphina humored as she leaned back her head on his shoulder. Dragon smiled gently before placing a light peck on top of her head.

"You should meet your friend." Dragon slowly made a gap between them as he turned his head towards her. Seraphina's brows raised seeing his earnest gaze.

"When you come back… I wanted to tell you something."

Seraphina contemplated for a while before her brows arc, "as long as you're not breaking up with me."

"Huh, you'll be stuck with me… forever." Dragon teased as he lightly pinch her nose.

That night, they enjoyed each other's company discussing random stuffs. Currently, Seraphina was lying on the blanket laid on the ground as she stares the night sky filled with stars. Dragon on the other hand was sitting with his palms on the sheet, staring at the same sky with Seraphina.

"Hehe, baby, let's treat Elvis some other time. After all, he's been too kind to me and he is our priest albeit fake. Hmmm. Should we gift him?" Seraphina's eyes lit up as an idea pop inside her mind. She added,

"Maybe, his idol's bones is the best gift he'll ever receive in his entire life."

Dragon chuckles with her absurd idea. After all, even though they'd been together for five months, Seraphina never fail to amused him -- weird or not.

"Baby, don't laugh! Call me gorgeous!" Since she was slightly tipsy, Seraphina demanded. She continued, "you know baby, you should compliment me always, call me gorgeous or goddess. I'll train you now!"

"Gorgeous." Dragon blankly stated without batting an eye. Seraphina's lips twitch by how fast he conceded, alas, she wasn't satisfied.

"Baby, you're not doing it right! You should sound seductive or a little flirtatious -- like this, hi, gorgeous~!" Seraphina demonstrated with a wink. Alas, her seemingly harmless seminar made a huge impact on her stoic student.

By the next second, Dragon's lips already invaded hers.

Seraphina heaves a sigh of relief the moment the plane took off. With great effort, she convinced Dragon not to send her off just like the last time to save herself from the trouble going back and forth to her dorm and to the lab facility.

Thinking about the time she spent with Dragon, a subtle smile form on the corners of her lips. Actually, aside from meeting Dr. John, Seraphina wanted to tell something to her team.

The 18-hour flight passed by just like that since Seraphina was being accompanied by Dragon's messages -- making the flight a little less boring.

Without a second stop, Seraphina went straight to her private quarters and change into a biker's outfit before speeding off to the research lab facility.

As usual, Seraphina had to do the whole process before she could access the elevator. The moment the lift reached the floor where Dr. John usually receives her, Seraphina's eyes squint.

Slowly inviting herself in, she heave a sigh of relief seeing Dr. John just sitting on the white sofa. At first, she thought it was unusual for Dr. John not to greet her. After all, he's been like that for years whenever she comes by.

"Yo!" Seraphina slightly salutes as she took slow strides and perched beside Dr. John. Alas, Dr. John was spacing out that he didn't notice Seraphina's arrival.

"Don't tell me you invite me here so I could witness how beautiful you look when you're thinking?" Seraphina poked him using her index finger which startled the zoning-out Dr. John.

Dr. John almost jolted from his seat by her touch. Slowly turning his head beside him, there, he saw Seraphina's wicked grin. Realizing it was just her, he sighs.

"Girl, you almost scared me to death!" Dr. John accused as he pats his c_h_e_s_t, trying to calm his hearts.

Seraphina scoffs as she rolls her eyes by his exaggerated reaction, "whatever. So, what's the juicy news?"

Suddenly, Dr. John's expression turned solemn as he intently looks at her.

"Sera, have you heard the project: AUGUR?"

Hearing Dr. John's statement, Seraphina's interest was instantly piqued as a knowing smirk formed on the side of her lips.
