Cherreads

Chapter 29 - spotlight

After the light dimmed out , evelyn and the terminator see a black card which contains a red border and a blue key at the center of the screen which has changed to blue colour..

"To think my play got outdone this easily."

Suddenly evelyn and the terminator smell something really delicious. When they look to their side , they see a table containing lots of delicious food like biryani, pav bhaji, dosa, chaas, gulab jamun. etc With glowing words above it showing ,

"Congratulations on passing the test! Take a break and enjoy your reward , who knows if this opportunity may come again or not."

Normally people would think twice before seeing something so flashy in the middle of nowhere , however since evelyn has spent a lot of time in the countryside, she didn't hesitate to rush towards the table and start eating all the food in front of her. Each dish leaving a different flavour along with the spices that leave a burning yet satisfying taste inside her mouth.

"Burp!"

"Now this is what you will call heaven."

"It sure looked like that"

Only after hearing the terminator's voice did she realize that she was not alone and had completely forgotten about the man that had accompanied her and had done more than ninety percent of the work to get hear. Guilt immediately struck evelyn's heart leaving her at the loss of words.

"Um, so about-"

"Forget it , just give me your hand , instead."

"I'm sorry?"

Immediately the terminator's persona changed into that of a tragic male lead as he made a dramatic pose by turning around and covering himself with his cape.

"Callers are really cruel after all. They don't mind freeloading of other's work, taking away all the rewards for themselves and not eve listen-"

"FINE! JUST TAKE MY HAND ALREADY!"

Evelyn knew that if she didn't agreed to the terminator's request in front of her, he will keep throwing guilt tripping attacks until evelyn's heart could no longer listen to him That's why she chose to yield early . After all, she is only going to hand for a few minutes , maybe it is a kink of his that will cheer him up. So making contact for a few minutes should be totally fine.

After she holds her hand with the terminator , golden wind starts to hover around them violently as her suit starts to glow brightly in yellow colour, at the same time , something bright seems to be appearing at evelyn's hand which is taking the form of a phone . Only after the phone appeared in evelyn's hand then did the things returned to normal around them.

"He managed to summon my phone by a single hand contact!?"

Before evelyn could think or take any action the terminator stole held evelyn's phone in his hands walked behind her and knocked her out gently by hitting her neck.

Snap!

The food table immediately turns into purple smoke and disappears . He then takes the card floating in the air and turns back to look at at evelyn.

"Sorry , but the spotlight of the final act should only shine one me."

Said the terminator while pressing his hat and without any hint of emotion in his voice. He then passes through the screen which then immediately turns red and starts glowing brightly.
