Blessed by Night

Chapter 51: Rowan Is a Bad Liar

Malachi was currently standing in an elevator next to a very nervous and fidgety old man.

Today, he was scheduled to have a meeting with Luna about Rowan's potential employment at the guild.

Rowan had put on the most formal suit he owned and for once, did not reek of cigarettes and depression.

"Why are you so nervous, old man?"

"Brat! It's Luna Autumn! She's the most beautiful woman in the world and I'm about to walk into her office!" Rowan was constantly trying to straighten his clothes and make sure his hair looked presentable.

"Keep it in your pants, geezer! She's mine!" Malachi argued.

Luna technically wasn't actually his yet, however the words flew out of his mouth before he even realized it.

"You wouldn't know what to do with a woman like that, boy! She's almost twice your age!"

"You're double hers!"

"I'm only fifty!"

This sudden reveal caused Mal to pause and give Rowan a pitying look.

As he looked at his head full of gray hair and face full of wrinkles, he couldn't help but feel bad for the old man.

Malachi lightly patted Rowan on the shoulder and said in a voice full of sadness, "It's been a hard fifty years, huh?"

Rowan felt like a blood vessel was going to burst in his forehead. "You son of a bi-"

Ding!

The door to the elevator slid open and Malachi hurriedly slipped out followed by an irate old man.

The two arrived directly in front of Luna's office and Malachi hurriedly opened the door.

'Bastard! Why didn't you knock?!' Rowan wasn't prepared yet!

He needed another minute to calm his pulsing heartbeat!

Upon entering Luna's office the pair were greeted with the sweet, melodious sound of her laughter.

Both men felt their hearts speed up at the sight of the gorgeous white haired woman laughing cutely.

"I must say, the two of you are really amusing." Luna said as she wiped tears out of her eyes. "I can't remember the last time I laughed like that."

"Hm?" Malachi asked in confusion. "What are you talking about?"

As a response Luna picked up her tablet and showed the two the footage she was just watching.

"You know we have cameras in the elevators, Mal." Luna giggled.

Both men now had embarrassed looks on their faces as if they'd just been caught red handed.

Luna walked right up to Rowan and introduced herself politely.

Luna made sure to ask more questions of her own and by the meeting's end she'd actually learned a few new things about her potential abilities as well.

After an hour long conversation, Luna was finally convinced and welcomed Rowan as an instructor at the guild.

As the pair exited the building the old man was the liveliest Malachi had ever seen him.

"Come on, brat! Let's go get a drink!"

"I can't get drunk." Malachi shook his head.

"I can!"

Mal chuckled and prepared to agree to the old man's request when he got a sudden phone call.

He felt his whole body tense up when he saw who it was from and his finger trembled as he accepted the call.

"Mr. Saint? This is Moriarty Memorial Hospital calling to inform you that the patient is awake and responsive."

He didn't remember much after that, only that he'd driven to the hospital like a mad man.

-

When Mal arrived at the hospital, he was in such a daze that he almost needed to be led by the hand.

What would he say?

How should he apologize?

Should he ask about why she ended up with someone like Derek in the first place?

Did it even matter anymore?

His mind was embroiled in a storm of emotions.

"Sir? Sir!" The nurse yelled.

"Ah.." Malachi looked up and realized that he had indeed been spacing out and they'd already arrived at their destination. "Sorry about that."

"It's fine, I see it happen a lot." The nurse said as she waived her hand. "She's right inside."

The nurse waived him goodbye and left while he stared absentmindedly at the door.

He was sure that what was waiting for him was an uncomfortable conversation but it was one he didn't want to run away from.

"Hoooo…No time like the present."

Malachi opened the door to the hospital room and stepped inside.

However instead of finding Melanie, the person actually sitting in the bed looked more like her older sister.

Like Melanie she had short, black hair that framed her face perfectly and a pair of dark amber eyes.

They shared the same creamy white complexion, yet the woman in front of him seemed to be a bit paler than he remembered Melanie to be.

She had a beauty mark beside her right eye and despite her slender figure, she also possessed the largest pair of breasts he'd ever seen.

"Hello.. do I know you?"
