REBORN: Revenge

Sensing that Anna is awkward towards him, Zedrick let go and showed her a playful smile. "Sorry. Sorry, Anna. We just met yesterday and when you left my heart was already missing you, I just can"t myself." Zedrick said in a playful tone. Whenever his playful cousin is not around, Zedrick always reveals his flirty side.

Hearing that Anna has the urge to get away from Zedrick as soon as possible. She"s not the type to get along with people like Zedrick, after all. Anna diverted her eyes from Zedrick and looks at the angry person by the door.

Shocked at his angry face, Anna instinctively pushed Zedrick away from her.

"You don"t like me now? I"m hurt, Anna." It seems like Zedrick has forgotten where is now, and only focus his whole attention towards Anna.

Feeling the strange aura behind him, Zedrick looks at where that aura is coming from. He flinched at the sight that his dear friend is glaring at him, it is as if his dear friend wants to kill him. "Kyle!" He said. "What"s with the glare?"

Kyle went in between Anna and Zedrick then, he said, "Get lost! Don"t ever show your face to me."

Confuse and shocked by the sudden declaration from Kyle, Zedrick has become speechless. No matter how annoyingly he acts in front of Kyle, Kyle never got this angry towards him. It"s all new to him.

"W-What? You"re throwing me out? Why? I"m your friend!" After saying that Zedrick sat down and crosses his arms. His pose is indicating to Kyle that he is not going anywhere until he gets a reasonable explanation he is getting kicked out.

"I don"t know who you are, but you touched my brother"s girl, and he"s the type that doesn"t really like to let others touch what is his, even you are his friend," Nathalia said. She is somehow enjoying the show in front of her.

Without asking, Nathalia can tell that this guy that just hugged Anna is a friend of her brother. She never knew that there is someone other than Erik can get close to her brother, and a part of her is relieved that there is another person.

"His girl? Anna is his girl?" Hearing that it"s like a big rock that smashed into his entire being. The most shocking that he receives after being away for only months is the girl Kyle is talking about is Anna.

Suddenly, he felt that there is no longer a safe place for him to hide. Yesterday, he already made Aaron get irritated by him by using Nathalia, and now, he hugged a girl that is actually the one who captured Kyle"s heart.

"Yup. His girl." Nathalia only smirked at Zedrick then, she diverted her attention to her phone. Surprisingly, her fun ended way too quickly. It"s probably because she got the feeling that Zedrick won"t continue in making her big brother jealous.

Zedrick then turns his attention to Kyle and said, "I didn"t know that Anna is your girl." He may acts flirty in front of the girls, but he never flirts with girls who belong to someone else.

Ignoring Zedrick, Kyle turns his attention to Anna. He wants to ask her did she know Zedrick, but it"s a stupid question. Zedrick"s family name is Fischer, and one of Anna"s friends, Zen, is a part of that family.

It would make sense if Zen introduced Zedrick to Anna, but for some reason that irritates him. Apart from Erik, Zedrick is one of the guys that he doesn"t want Anna to meet.

"Stay away from him," Kyle said gently to Anna, and that shocked Zedrcik.

"I can"t just avoid him even if I wanted to. He"s Zen"s cousin, there will be times that I see him and it"s unavoidable." Anna reasoned with Kyle. She knew that Kyle didn"t like it when Zedrick hugged her, she didn"t like it either, but there is nothing she can do about it. It"s just the way Zedrick is.

Hearing Zen"s name, Lannie points her finger at Zedrick and said, "He"s Zen"s cousin? Whoa. He"s way different from Zen."

When she heard that Zen has a cousin, she originally thought that Zedrick is the same as Zen. But her guess failed her. Zedrick is way too flirty and friendly to girls, while Zen, on the other hand, likes to annoy and bother people around him.

"Yeah. The same guy I told you about earlier." While waiting for Kyle, Anna told Lannie about what yesterday.

It made Lannie laugh and pity the guy, but now that she is seeing what is happening right now, all she can do now is pray for Zedrick"s safety. "Gosh. You just got back and you already made two enemies in both powerful families." Lannie laughed and that made Zedrick smile go upside down.

"What are you talking about? It"s only Anna"s brother, don"t include Kyle." Zedrick said, "Right, Kyle? You won"t consider me as your enemy, right?" Zedrick"s voice slightly shook and that even made Lannie tease him more.

"If you stay away from Anna from now on, I won"t see you that way."

"It"s inevitable!" Zedrick demanded. "I want to get to know my sister-in-law! You can"t take away my rights to do that!" Now that he knows that there is a special connection between Anna and his dear friend, he wouldn"t want to let go of the chance to get to know Anna. Besides, in the years he has been friends with Kyle, he never has seen him having an interest in other girls.

Anna blushed when she heard that. She"s been hearing from Kyle"s family that they are going to be in-laws in the future, and every time that she hears it she feels embarra.s.sed. However, she feels extreme embarra.s.sment when she hears that outside of Kyle"s family.

"First of all, Anna is not your sister-in-law, and secondly, don"t blame me if I treat you coldly if you don"t back off." Kyle was only lying about earlier, but what he said just now, he is going to make true of his word.

"You always treat me coldly," Zedrick mumbled, but Kyle was able to hear it.

"I understand that it"s unavoidable, but as much as possible don"t ever get near him. And if you really have to, you should have someone beside you because this guy is an animal who eats anything that he sets his eyes on." Kyle said to Anna.

Although she and Kyle are not officially together, Anna feels so much happiness inside her that he is worried about her this much.

Without any hesitation, Anna agreed. She originally plans to get to know Zedrick and us Zedrick for her plan towards her brother. But if Kyle wishes her to keep her distance away from Zedrick then, she will do it.

After all, Zedrick and Kyle are friends, she doesn"t want any discord between them, and to add more, Zedrick is just too much for her.

"How dare you say that to me? I"m not that kind of a man!" Zedrick firmly defended himself. "Anna, please believe me when I say that I"m not like that. Besides, I only flirt with girls who"s not in a relations.h.i.+p!"

"Basically, you"re that type of a man," Anna said. "You said that you flirt with a girl who"s not in a relations.h.i.+p, but doesn"t that mean that you set your eyes on those kinds of girls?" Now, Anna is confirming that there is a similarity between Zen and his cousin.

Zedrick wanted to say more to defend himself, but Kyle took all of Anna"s attention by showing her the dessert that he bought for her. Dejected that he has been ignored, Nathalia patted his back and said, "It"s alright. Next time, say something that is very convincing."

While everyone is busy doing their own things, there is one person in the office who has been ignored this whole time, and it is Kyle"s father. He wanted to let Anna and the others know that he is still here, but every time he sees a chance, it gets stolen by them.

Annoyed that there is no one in the room acknowledging that he is here, he spoke angrily. "My office is not a place for all of you to argue."

All of them turned their attention to him. Anna felt extreme guilt that she ignored Kyle"s father, while Kyle only looks at his father nonchalantly. "Father, you took too much of my time, at least take this as a punishment."

If it weren"t for his father, Kyle would have been spending more time with Anna today. He and Zedrick would have not met and Zedrick wouldn"t have hugged his girl. Everything that has been happening is because of his father.
