My Ten Wives and Ten Rings in the Apocalypse
Chapter 81 Justin Teased Kira

******

"Come in!" A voice said.

It had been a couple of days since their first executive meeting. And the shelter underwent a serious transformation.

In the highest room in the building, a young man stood straight, wearing loose clothes. His long overflowing hair swayed gently over his shoulder.

His gaze was fixed on the horizon, looking far, deep into the ruined city.

This young man was Justin.

He hadn't gone out after the meeting. He was in his room all day long, relaxing from the nerve-cracking battle from the past couple of weeks.

Creak!

The door opened and a young woman entered the room. She adorned a long overflowing blue gown.

Her brown hair, hazel eyes, and small lips with an oval face would make every man's heart miss a beat.

"Can I have a word?" Kira requested.

"Yes, you can take a seat," Justin answered and walked over to her.

Kira sat on a couch, crossing her leg over the others. While Justin sat opposite her.

"Have you had any strange feelings for the past couple of days?" She asked in a low, not looking at Justin's face.

"What kind of strange feeling?" Justin asked calmly.

"You know…. Since the bonding of a thing."

"I won't understand what you're saying until you come out clean."

"Is it only?" Kira raised her head in a puzzle.

'What's wrong with me? Am I imagining things?' She thought.

For the past couple of days, she had been restless for an unknown reason. She tried various ways to solve this strange feeling but it was futile.

Most especially, when she was far from Justin. The feeling intensified and she could barely control herself.

"If you're talking about the restless feeling… I have those." Justin said calmly, jotting Kira out of her thoughts.

Hmm!

She creased her brow and her mouth was slightly aghast.

'How can he be so calm when I'm trying very hard to control this goddamn feeling.' She smeared in her heart.

"Yes." She nodded after recovering from her initial shock.

"I expected such a thing to happen but not this soon. Since virtually we are connected. And soul bond wants us together." He paused for a bit and continued.

"I don't know why this is happening but we can only go with the flow. There is nothing we don't understand about each other…."

"So we should try to get to know each other and see how it goes," Justin concluded.

This decision was not something he came up with on the spot. He had given it a deep thought since he started having those restless feelings and arrived at this conclusion.

He understood the mechanism behind the soul bond of a thing. And since they can fight it, then go with the flow.

Kira's ear turned red when she heard Justin's last sentence. She understood what he meant.

Though she had already guessed the direction where this soul bond thing was going. Yet, when she heard it from Justin, her heart flustered.

"N-No problem."

Justin nodded and stared at her for a moment. Previously, he only had two girlfriends and the relationship was a total disaster.

It shattered his heart with regret and depression. It took him a couple of months for him to overcome the last heartbreak and he decided enough is enough. He won't date anymore.

But now, things were out of his hands. Although he still guards his heart but with strength comes confidence.

'How long would I abstain from women?' He chuckled in his heart.

"W-Why are you looking at my face? I-Is there something on my face." She blushed.

"You know I'm virtually blind, right?" Justin asked.

Hmm!

She gasped slightly and said slowly.

"But that your weird ability is even more overbearing than seeing." She pouted.

"Really!"

"Hmm! Hmm!" she nodded. "Do you know how hard it is for me to sit in front of you with that ability? I feel almost naked in front of you."

A slight chuckle escaped from Justin's lips. He relaxed on the chair and smiled.

"You have nothing to fear. I can't see beyond." He said with a mischievous smile.

"Lie. Lie." Kira's face reddened. She wanted to bash Justin for his shamelessness but she understood how strong he was and was furious.

"Why would I lie? It's not like you haven't seen everything about me. While also I've seen everything about you. Why the pretense?" He chuckled.

"Enough!" She covered her face and stood. Her face was reddened like a ripe tomato.

Any more teasing could make her face burst. Though they were discussing such a sensitive topic, the situation wasn't awkward.

Unknown to them, the bonding effect was in play. The greatest obstacle in any relationship was secrecy and trust.

And if those two were removed from the equation. The relationship is bound to move swiftly.

"Alright, I won't tease you anymore." He chuckled.

"Bah! I'm going." She stomped her foot and rushed toward the door.

The light teasing makes her heart race and it hatches thousands of butterflies.

'This feeling…' Her heart skipped a beat and a gorgeous smile appeared on her beautiful lips.

Knock! Knock!

"Leader, we need your attention outside." Chloe's voice came from outside.

At once, Kira halted on her track and looked at Justin.

"No problem. I'm coming. " He got on his feet and approached the door.

"I thought you were leaving. Do you change your mind?" He asked.

"In your dream," Kira said and opened the door.

Outside the door was Chloe waiting patiently. When she saw the door open, she raised her head but what she saw made her mouth agape.

"H-hello Chloe" Kira said with a tight lips smile. Her ear reddened but she tried to maintain her natural expression.

"H-hi" She responded.

Her brain was short-circuited, not able to process what she just witnessed.

'A woman inside the leader's room!' She didn't believe her eyes.

Since the division of rooms and everything. No one was allowed to enter his room. Everyone had to wait outside for any discussion.

But now, it seems the leader had a preference.

"What are you doing?" Justin asked.

Ha!

Chloe woke up from her stupor and blinked her eyes twice. She swallowed the lump in her throat and straightened her back.

"We made a great discovery in our research and we want you to see it."
