Pixels And Pistols (HBC) ∆10. A Missed Chance

Chapter 10: A Missed Chance

Alpha ⟨Alvin Jones⟩

*stares at her, says his thoughts out aloud* so beautifully melodious....

Rithika ⟨Rialta Flores⟩

Huh? What did you say?

Rithika ⟨Rialta Flores⟩

*did I really hear him say beautiful? (⁠ ⁠ꈍ⁠ᴗ⁠ꈍ⁠)*

Alpha ⟨Alvin Jones⟩

Alpha ⟨Alvin Jones⟩

T-that i- I wasn't--- I-it was- s-subconscious i--

As Alpha stammers, Rithika chuckles once more and looks at him with expectant eyes

Alpha ⟨Alvin Jones⟩

*tries to calm himself down* C-cough--- ahem--

Alpha ⟨Alvin Jones⟩

We-well... I- I enjoy music generally, so I pay attention to voices a lot... And It was just that I felt like your voice was extremely melodious so

Alpha ⟨Alvin Jones⟩

I do apologise if that was abrupt, but your voice is extremely attractive and simply soothing and calming

Rithika ⟨Rialta Flores⟩

Well... That's a compliment I've never heard of before, Thank you for being so sweet *giggles*

Alpha ⟨Alvin Jones⟩

Ah no It's nothing, I was just telling the truth

A mischievous thought enters Rithika's mind, and she smirks a little before coming closer to Alpha's face and whispers near his ear

Rithika ⟨Rialta Flores⟩

*whispering slowly* If you'd like, I would be happy to oblige you and let you hear me every day~

Alpha gets goosebumps as the air hits him, too stunned by Rithika's active flirting

Rithika ⟨Rialta Flores⟩

After all, You are---

Before Rithika could finish her sentence, A voice rang across the corridor and they both looked towards it

Quinn ⟨Quinton Evans⟩

*Frantically searching, screaming* BOSS!!!!!! THERE'S SOMETHING YO-----

As Quinn spots Rithika, he runs towards her and says

Quinn ⟨Quinton Evans⟩

*huffing* Huff- huff... B-boss t-the ceremony---

Before Quinn could finish his sentence, he shuts himself up seeing the death glare Rithika was giving

Rithika ⟨Rialta Flores⟩

*internal rage* *why this stupid---- You ruined my wonderful plan to make him fall for me*

Alpha was glad that someone had intervened and sighed in relief, he was scared his heart would jump out of his chest if it continued. He distanced himself from Rithika and awkwardly tried to start a conversation

Alpha ⟨Alvin Jones⟩

U-uh... Seems like someone was looking for you?

Rithika ⟨Rialta Flores⟩

T-that... *annoyed* Ah right. *points at Quinn* This is Quinn. *looks back at Quinn* And Quinn, Meet Alpha

Rithika ⟨Rialta Flores⟩

*As Rithika glares at Quinn, the poor guy realized that he messed up big time*

Quinn ⟨Quinton Evans⟩

*internal monologue* *damn I'm done for, aren't i?*

Quinn ⟨Quinton Evans⟩

Alpha ⟨Alvin Jones⟩

*oblivious to Rithika's murderous intent* Ah Right, Nice to meet you Quinn

Quinn ⟨Quinton Evans⟩

Haha r-right g-great meeting you too Sir *awkwardly, scared from Rithika's look*

Author

Mwahahaha They are stuck in an awkward situation now

The author decided to take mercy over them and hence Alpha checked his watch, realising that the session which was postponed had already started 5 min ago. He decides that was the best chance to escape the situation

Alpha ⟨Alvin Jones⟩

Ah right It's late, the session has already started. I better get going

Alpha ⟨Alvin Jones⟩

*turns around and walks away slowly. Pauses and turns to face Rithika once more* Well... Bye I guess??? Let's meet again some other time??

Rithika was fuming inside, but hearing Alpha wanting to meet later made her forget about her anger temporarily

Rithika ⟨Rialta Flores⟩

*smiles softly* Yeah sure!!!! See you later!!!! *waves him goodbye enthusiastically as he walked away*

Quinn ⟨Quinton Evans⟩

*praying to God* *If there exists a god in this world, Then please keep the boss as happy as she is right now and save me please

Quinn ⟨Quinton Evans⟩

*It would be better if I sneak out right now. There's no guarantee about whether God will save me*

As Quinn tries to escape quietly, he feels a hand at his back, and chills run down his spine

Rithika ⟨Rialta Flores⟩

*smiling deviously* Now Quinn, Where do you think you are going??

Quinn ⟨Quinton Evans⟩

༎ຶ⁠‿⁠༎ຶ༎ຶ⁠‿⁠༎ຶ༎ຶ⁠‿⁠༎ຶ༎ຶ⁠‿⁠༎ຶ༎ຶ⁠‿⁠༎ຶ༎ຶ⁠‿⁠༎ຶ *someone save me*

Regulus who was watching from the floor above sighs and chuckles

Regulus ⟨Regulus Navarro⟩

My condolences Quinn. Let's hope you stay sane after suffering from the consequences.

Regulus ⟨Regulus Navarro⟩

You brought it on yourself, you shouldn't have disturbed her when she was lost in her fantasy land with her lover *turns around, walking away*
