Supreme Master In The Apocalypse-Chapter 24 The Caller

"It's a good thing that you came here, Hugo." Mrs. Reyes greeted Hugo with great enthusiasm.

She opened the door wide with a huge smile on her face. "i mi— My mother misses you a lot," Mrs. Reyes uttered, followed by an awkward laugh.

"Oh. I miss her too, Mrs. Reyes," Hugo chuckled as he went in. Because he has an outgoing personality, it wasn't difficult for people to be comfortable around him.

"Oh, Mrs. Reyes. I just wondered. What was your first name?" Hugo scratched the back of his head when he remembered that he didn't know it.

"It's Lilianne"

"What a nice name," Hugo complimented.

Mrs. Reyes, or rather Lilianne's cheeks, reddened. She shyly laughed. "Take a seat first, Hugo."

Hugo nodded at Lilianne's offer.

"I will just go upstairs to call Lilith. You two can study here downstairs because I will ask the maids to clean her room first." Lilianne added in as she went upstairs.

The corners of her lips rose up when she thought about something.

Liliane quickly went into her room to change her clothes. From a simple shirt and pants, her clothes changed completely differently.

The big mountains in her front were almost on display because of the little fabric covering them. Liliane was only wearing a sports bra partnered up with some shorts. Her flat waist could be seen, the same with her ass that was highlighted because of how tight the short was.

Liliane bit her lower lips as she stared at her reflection in the mirror. 'It's a good thing that I maintained my body well,' she whispered to herself. ƒr𝙚𝙚𝘸e𝚋𝐧૦ѵ𝒆𝒍.𝒄𝒐m

She grabbed the yoga mat on the side before proceeding to go to Lilith's room.

"Go downstairs and study there. Your room will be cleaned while you're on schedule." Lilianne announced as she saw Lilith laying on the bed.

Lilith instantly stood up after bearing Hugo's name. "Hugo is here?" Her voice was filled with excitement.

"Yes. That's why you go fix yourself faster." Lilianne reminded her daughter.

Lilith nodded, but her brows slowly formed a line after noticing what her mother was wearing. "Why are you dressed like that?" She asked curiously.

"I am going to do yoga downstairs. Didn't I tell you that I would like to try it yesterday?" Lilianne answered simply. "Anyway, I will go now." She added in before closing the door of Lilith's room.

Lilianne took a deep breath as she glanced over downstairs. A confident smile rose up to her lips as she went down.

"Hugo," Lilianne softly called out.

Hugo's lips parted in surprise when he saw Lilianne on the stairs. The two mountains were bouncing as the woman took big steps.

'That's so huge…" he unbelievably exclaimed.

"Are you alright, Hugo?" Lilianne suppressed her laughter. She straightened her back, which caused her two mountains to show up bigger.

"U-Uhm… Yeah, of course." Hugo swallowed when he felt a big lump in his throat. He closed his eyes as he quickly looked away.

'Stop what you're thinking, Hugo.' He firmly reminded to himself. He adjusted his seat and just ate the food that was prepared for him.

He needs to find things that he could shift his attention to, or else he was sure that something will rise and that's definitely not his patience.

"I will just go outside." Lilianne bid goodbye. Her eyes stickily glanced at Hugo for the last time, as if she was inviting the man to join him.

But Hugo didn't see it since he was trying to busy himself with other things.

"Mother, I am here already." Lilith quickly came down. She waved her hands at Hugo and smiled. "Where should we study?"

Hugo's eyes darted to Lilith. "Where do you want?" he asked.

Lilith looked around. "Let's just study here in the living room, since there's already a table here." She suggested.

"Alright." Hugo shrugged his shoulders as he opened his bag. He sat on the cold tiles since it was more comfortable.

When Lilith noticed that she left her things in the room, her eyes widened. "I'll just get my things," she quickly informed Hugo.

Lilith came back upstairs. She took her empty bag from the bed and went to her desk to find the things that she will be needing. She was busy finding her stuff when she noticed that her phone lit up.

[Incoming call from CREDO]

Her forehead immediately creased after reading the name on her phone. Her hands trembled as she pressed the red button, indicating the end call. f𝐫𝑒𝗲𝙬𝒆𝚋𝐧૦𝘃𝗲l.c𝚘𝘮

'No…' her eyes widened in pure horror.

Lilith shut down her phone and immediately opened its side. She took out her sim card inside and immediately break them into pieces with the help of a scissor.

'I'm already happy with Hugo,' she repeatedly shook her head. "I can't let them know that…'

Lilith gathered all her things hurriedly. "No one will know what happened." She convinced herself as she went back to their living room.

Just one glance and Hugo could tell that there was something wrong with Lilith. "Are you alright?" his brows shot up when the woman's face became pale.

"Y-Yeah," Lilith awkwardly laughed as she took a sit on the floor.

Hugo just nodded and didn't bother asking more. 'If she didn't want to say what happened, then I won't force her.'

He grabbed some pieces of paper from her bag and placed them on the table.

"Because it was 2 days ago since we last had a session, then I would need you to answer this questionnaire. The purpose of this is to test how much information you remember."

Hugo strictly looked at Lilith as he pointed out the pieces of paper in his hands. "After this, we will see the topics you forgot and discuss them thoroughly again. If we still have time, then I might teach you a new topic."

Lilith silently nodded as she took the paper from the table. She was still in a daze from what had happened earlier that she didn't even bother reading some of the questions.

On the other hand, Hugo's interest was caught in other things. He leaned on the couch behind him and stared at the glass panels on the side. In there, he saw Lilianne doing some stretches. With her back facing Hugo's direction.
