Joker The New King

Chapter 51

9:07 PM, Wellston City

Doc's POV

Leilah and I agreed to suppress her powers at her place. I ended up at her car that was driven by Leilah herself. I noticed her index finger is always tapping the steering wheel unpredictably...

Is she nervous? Well, can't really blame her. If I was her I'd be nervous too. She's been driving for about 20 minutes now

The view around us was so city like... tall buildings everywhere. Is this around where she lives?

"Darren... we've arrived" Said Leilah

The car stopped at a certain garage gate beneath a big apartment, slowly opening automatically

"You live in this apartment? It's looks pretty luxurious... at least for my standards"

"Oh don't say that, you're embarrassing me"

"Oh sorry, I'm just speaking what comes to mind"

"Uhm... that wasn't the response I was hoping for"

Arriving at the garage, we stepped out of the car and went straight to the elevator. Leilah pulled out some sort of a card from her purse and put it in a sensor below the floor buttons, and suddenly one of the buttons lit up... which was the 42th and top floor

"You live on the top floor? Y-you don't happen to own a penthouse... do you?"

*giggle* "You'll see soon enough..."

Shortly after the elevator opened, A long hallway full of doors wasn't was I saw. Instead, we were greeted by a giant space to walk around to, already filled with her furnitures. The entire floor owned by her. The walls was filled with only thick glasses surrounding the floor. Great views was all I could see below the night sky

"These glasses for a wall... Aren't you worried that it might shatter and collapse one day?"

"Oh Darren, of all people you should be worrying about... It shouldn't be me, don't you think?"

"O-oh yeah you're right haha..."

Even if the whole building was about to collapse... she could escape without a scratch.

I took my time taking a look at her place, but I didn't see any pictures of her nor her families. Which kind of reflects her relationship with her family. Guess her life must've been rough

"So Leilah... you live here all by yourself?" I asked

"Yeah... Rarely anyone comes here, except for business purposes, that is" Said Leilah, with a darkened expression

Shit... I didn't mean to bring down the mood, what should I do?

"Then how do you clean all the rooms? Do you use your powers to fasten the process?"

"No actually, I clean up the place normally like everyone else. I just think it's relaxing whenever I clean up"

So she's a tidy person huh? Noted. Then I better clean up my place as well in case she visits me out of nowhere

"Darren, can we do it right now?"

"H-huh? R-right now?" I asked with my face reddened

"Yeah... the injection"

"O-oh... right"

*sigh* God I'm such an idiot. She's over here all serious and determined, and my heads all over the place
