Chapter 70 Meeting The Mischievous Friend
After roaming around the park, Marceline decided to visit her doctor friend, Lyca. She needed to report to her that her illness acted out again. Aside from that, she had to give her the invitation to the upcoming birthday party of her grandfather.
Kira and Marceline just grabbed a taxi from the park going to Lyca's clinic.
"Kira, I think you should learn how to drive as well," Marceline said out of the blue.
Kira smiled at her and whispered, "My Lady, I am faster than a car. If you want to go somewhere else, I can carry you in my arms. Just hold me tightly."
Marceline arched her eyebrow and turned to look at him. "Are you serious? Do you want people to see someone flying and jumping around in broad daylight? Might as well announce to everyone that you are a vampire!" she whispered back at him.
Kira let out a husky laugh. "Then we will do it at night."
Marceline just rolled her eyes skyward. "You will have a driving lesson this weekend. No more buts!"
"Aye, Ma'am!"
It wasn't so long when the taxi stopped right in front of Dr. Lyca's clinic. Marceline paid the taxi fare while Kira stepped out of the car first to open the car door for her.
This was the first time Marceline was bringing Kira to meet her friend Lyca. To think about it, she hadn't introduced them to each other yet.
'Lyca will certainly bombard me with so many questions about Kira. Better to prepare myself,' she thought inwardly, looking at the entrance door of her best friend's clinic.
As usual, Kira was the one who opened the door for her. The two of them entered, heading straight to Lyca's office. Fortunately, only a few patients visited the clinic for their consultation and one-on-one session today.
Dr. Lyca was already free the moment they arrived. She was surprised upon seeing the gorgeous man standing next to her friend. Marceline had already expected this kind of reaction from her friend.
She had the urge to zip her mouth as it was hung open while her eyes were gawking at Kira's handsome features. If Lyca wasn't her friend, Marceline would have gouged her eyes out for sizing Kira up from top to bottom.
After a few seconds, Lyca slammed her hands on the top of her table as she stood up.
"Oh my gosh! You were the guy who made a commotion in the S Club!!! The one who took Marceline," She exclaimed after recognizing Kira.
Kira just nodded at her with an awkward smile on his face. He was a little bit surprised by Lyca's reaction.
"What is your relationship with Marceline? Are you her suitor or boyfriend?" Lyca asked Kira blatantly, not minding Marceline's presence.
Marceline could only facepalm at Lyca's hyperactiveness. Kira was being interrogated as soon as he set foot in her office.
Meanwhile, Kira turned to Marceline as if he was asking for help. This time Marceline butted in as she introduced Kira to Lyca.
"Lyca, this is Kira, my bodyguard," Marceline said, giving her a warning look as if telling her doctor friend to behave. Then she turned to Kira. "This is Dr. Lyca Lee, my personal psychologist… as well as my friend."
"Your best friend!" Lyca insisted, correcting her. Then she walked closer to them, extending her right hand to Kira which he gladly accepted, shaking their hands.
"Nice meeting you, Kira! You know you are lucky to get this job! My best friend hates the idea of having a bodyguard. But seeing you right now, I guess I already know the reason for hiring you." She glanced at Marceline teasingly. The cheerful smile on her face had a hidden meaning.
Marceline just narrowed her eyes at her mischievous friend. She was intentionally calling her best friend in front of Kira, letting him know that they were so close to each other.
"Kira, can you please leave us for a while. You can roam around the clinic. I'll call once I'm done talking to my Best Friend."
"Ok Boss Lin. Got it. Oh… and nice meeting you too, Dr. Lee."
Lyca just pouted her lips in disappointment as Kira left her office right away. She wanted to get to know him more but Marceline sent her gorgeous bodyguard away.
"Being possessive already, aren't you?" Lyca nudged her shoulders while grinning widely.
"Stop that, Lyca. Act as a professional. I'm here as your patient, not as your Best Friend!" she retorted.
Lyca just burst out laughing. "Too defensive, my girl. Okay, sit down first. Let's talk."
"So what happened? Are you sick?" Lyca asked her after settling down on their respective seats.
"Yes. Just like we predicted, my illness acted out this month… I experienced it last night. I think… my medication is not that effective anymore."
Lyca became worried when she heard that. "Are you okay? Did you wake up in an odd place once again?"
Marceline exhaled deeply. Fortunately, Kira followed her. This time, she didn't end up waking up in the middle of the forest.
Marceline told Lyca that Kira was the one who found her and that he was also staying in the mansion. But she decided not to tell her that he was the vampire who barged into her house.
Now that she confirmed the existence of vampires, werewolves, and witches, she realized how the human world became dangerous for them.
She didn't want Lyca to worry about these things. It's best for her not to know everything so that she would never feel scared.
"Oh, by the way, I am dying to ask you this. If he is not from Triple W Security Agency, where did you meet him? Hmm, did you really hire him because of his good looks?" Lyca asked her expectantly. There was a glint of humor in her eyes as she waited for Marceline's response.
"In the nightclub…" She lied. "And yes, you are right! That's one of the reasons," Marceline added nonchalantly since there's no need to deny it.
"Haha, Clever woman. I knew it!" Lyca erupted into a peal of laughter, patting Marceline's shoulder.
"Ahem, Celeste… I am telling you this as your doctor and as your best friend… I think Kira is the best candidate to cure your illness… Why don't you try sleeping with him?" Lyca suggested.
Marceline: "..."
'I've almost done that… and I even asked him to cure me.'
That thought brought a blush to her cheeks. She seldom felt embarrassed but when it came to Kira, she couldn't help it.
Looking at her doctor friend, she contemplated whether to tell her about this or not. She knew that she would just receive constant teasing from her. And that's what she wanted to avoid, especially if Kira was around.
"Do it, girl! There's nothing to lose! Besides, your bodyguard is super handsome. And I could tell that he is hiding a great physique behind that black suit. Grab this opportunity, Celeste!" Lyca encouraged her to the core.
Marceline gulped hard, trying to keep her mouth shut. She was restraining herself from exposing herself. Indeed! She saw it… and she already touched Kira's yummy and hot body.
