Becoming Professor Moriarty’s Probability

Chapter 50: Gia Lestrade (4)

“Hmm…Let’s see.”

“Excuse me…”

“Would this suit you or would that…”

Lestrade, who had been dragged around by an excited-looking Adler, looked at him with a blank expression and opened her mouth.

“What are you doing right now?”

“Oh, this looks good.”

But ignoring her, Adler picked up a dress hanging in front of him.

“Try this on.”

He held up a sky-blue dress in front of her, his eyes shining as he made the request.

“I don’t wear anything other than my police uniform.”

However, Lestrade coldly pushed his hand away.

“And I’ve never worn such feminine clothes before. They wouldn’t suit me.”

She said with a confident voice and tried to walk past Adler toward the exit.

“Of course, your police uniform looks quite dignified.”

However, Adler soon grabbed Lestrade’s arm and stopped her.

“I really want to see my girlfriend in this dress.”

She turned colder when he emphasized the word girlfriend while mentioning the dress.

“You said you’d do anything I ask, right?”

“… Yes.”

But at his whisper, she sighed and took the dress from his hands.

“Because I like you.”

Although she muttered those words with a still cold expression, Adler seemed inexplicably happy, chuckling to himself.

“Change over there. There’s a curtain set up inside the store for changing.”

Lestrade made a grimace and moved to where he pointed as he nudged her on the back to hurry up.

“Ugh…”

She passed by the murmuring people, and as she entered the changing room, she began to loosen her tight police uniform, her face turning red.

– Swish…

And then, she held the fluttering sky-blue dress against her naked body.

“…There’s no way something like this will suit someone like me…”

In that state, she sneakily tried on various poses but soon muttered with a dark expression.

“He’s surely trying to humiliate me.”

With her body covered in scars from rigorous training and even possessing a flat, muscular abdomen, such a feminine dress seemed anything but suitable for her…

It seemed as if Isaac Adler had resolved himself to break her spirit.

“… Sigh.”

But she couldn’t just refuse to wear it.

No matter the circumstances, she was now Isaac Adler’s lover.

“………”

With great effort, suppressing the natural resistance of her body, Lestrade wore the dress Adler had chosen for her.

– Squeak…

As she opened the changing room door, the gazes of the onlookers in the vicinity immediately fixated on Lestrade.

“”………..””

And then, total silence ensued.

“Wow.”

In that silence, Adler approached Lestrade, who was deeply bowing her head with clear embarrassment in her eyes, and told her with a dreamy look in his eyes…

“… You really look gorgeous in that dress.”

“Shut up.”

She stepped on his foot and murmured with a trembling voice filled with embarrassment and anger.

“I can see the way people are looking at me.”

“… I know. That’s why I’m jealous of you…”

“…….?”

Adler pulled her towards him and, holding her hand once more, began to stroll around the clothing store.

“You… always doing things your way…”

“Next, try this one.”

Ignoring her, as she began to say something with a flushed face, this time Adler picked a pink dress for her.

“And after that, this one, and then this…”

“……….”

Lestrade began to feel dizzy as she saw the growing number of dresses in Adler’s shopping cart.

Several hours later.

“… How did you find the play we watched earlier?”

“………”

“Miss Lestrade?”

After being dragged around various parts of London by Adler for a long while, Lestrade sat in the VIP room of a high-end restaurant, wearing a dazed expression on her usual expressionless and cold face.

“… It’s too expensive.”

From her lips came a faint and trembling voice.

“This dress I’m wearing… do you even know how much it costs?

“Yes.”

“What about these piles of clothes next to me?”

“Of course I know, I paid for them after all.”

“And the food we’re eating now?”

“The prices are clearly written on the menu in front of us, Miss Lestrade.”

As Adler tilted his head and responded, Lestrade’s brows furrowed deeper than ever before.

“Why are you doing all of this?”

“What do you mean?”

“Why are you pouring such astronomical amounts of money into just one date of ours?”

Hearing her words, Adler chuckled and picked up a piece of steak with his fork.

“Because I like you.”

“……….”

“And, I always wanted to do these things when I dreamed of entering into a relationship.”

He then offered the steak-laden fork to Lestrade’s lips.

“Come on, eat.”

“… Are you serious?”

“Quickly.”

She wondered if he was teasing her again, but Adler’s expression was earnest and sincere.

“… Ah.”

So, thinking this was yet another demand as lovers from Adler, Lestrade opened her mouth with a cold expression.

– Nom nom…

“Hmm.”

As she chewed the steak, Adler watched her with a radiant smile on his lips.

“… You’re soo adorable.”

Caught by the genuine joy in that smile, Lestrade stopped chewing and wiped her mouth with a napkin.

“I wonder how much more adorable you’ll become at our final destination tonight.”

Upon hearing Adler’s words, she murmured with a chilling smile that couldn’t help but appear on her lips…

“So, it was that after all.”

“………”

“I didn’t even have any hopes.”

Suddenly, she rose from her seat.

“I’ll go to the restroom.”

“Wait a moment…”

Despite Adler’s call, Lestrade simply bowed her head and moved on.

“… After behaving so high and mighty.”

At that very moment, a voice tinged with scorn started drifting from behind her.

“It seems she ended up with the one who paid the highest price in the end.”

A young woman, her face covered with a fan and with clearly defined outlines surrounding her eyes, mumbled those words.

“Did you need the money that badly?”

“……….”

As the surrounding people started snickering at the remark that was clearly an insult to her, Lestrade clenched her fists until they turned white.

‘… I anticipated being treated like this.’

However, she soon slumped her shoulders and only gave a bitter smile in response.

‘So…’

“I’m sorry, Miss Lestrade.”

It was at that exact moment.

“For breaking the promise.”

“…….?”

Adler got up from his seat and muttered those words as he walked toward her.

– Slap!!!

Gia Lestrade, with a puzzled expression, turned around and her eyes widened at the scene unfolding before her.

“… Ugh.”

The young woman who had been slapped by Isaac Adler clutched her swelling cheek, looking up at him with a stunned gaze.

“How dare you speak to my lover that way…”

Meanwhile, Adler glanced at Gia Lestrade with a playful twinkle in his eyes before leveling a cold stare at the young woman.

“Fucking harlot.”

Lestrade’s eyes began to quiver at that scene.

.

.

.

.

“Look, Miss Lestrade!”

“……..”

“It’s a star!”

That night, in a secluded empty lot near London.

“… Is this the final destination you mentioned earlier?”

Lestrade, who had been quietly holding hands with Adler and looking up at the night sky, asked in a soft, fleeting voice.

“What did you think it would be?”

Adler, tilting his head, posed that question to her.

“……….”

“Miss Lestrade, you seem cheekier than I thought.”

Looking at her slightly flushed face with a smile on his lips, he soon shifted his gaze to the sky and began to murmur by himself.

“It has always been my dream… To sit in an empty lot with my lover, holding hands, and gazing up at the stars together.”

There was something mesmerizingly tender about the current scene.

“I wanted to experience such an ordinary relationship.”

“……..”

“That’s why right now, I’m incredibly happy.”

Lestrade gazed at him in silence.

“I love you, Gia.”

As Adler said her name with a soft smile, Lestrade’s eyebrows twitched ever so slightly.

“… By the way, the night is growing deep.”

Who knows how much time had passed since then…

“Here is your payment for today.”

Suddenly, Adler produced a check from his pocket.

“What are you doing?”

“I’m giving you compensation, aren’t I?”

“Are you trying to buy me with money now?”

Lestrade, seeing this, asked in a voice as cold as chilling ice.

“That’s not the case.”

“Then what’s with this behavior right now?”

“I heard you have two younger siblings.”

However, her expression cracked slightly at the mention of her siblings.

“And I also heard that you’re the only one providing for them.”

“………”

“Maybe, that’s why you were looking for a part-time job at the academy, right?”

“No matter what, I can’t accept money just because I’m dating you.”

“That’s why I came up with a good idea.”

Adler, seizing the opportunity, spoke in a firm tone.

“I’ll hire you as my bodyguard.”

“……….”

“While being my lover, please also be my bodyguard.”

Thanks to those resolute words, Lestrade was momentarily at a loss for words.

“Of course, the payment is for your services as my bodyguard.”

“But…”

“These gifts are for you as my lover.”

Looking into her eyes, Adler whispered,

“Miss Gia.”

“What…”

“Let me say it again, having a normal relationship like this is a first for me.”

Suddenly hearing her name, Lestrade’s heart began to race.

“That’s why I don’t want to lose you.”

Adler then handed her a contract from his pocket.

“I’ll be a good boy.”

“……….”

“At least, in front of you.”

Lestrade quietly picked up a pen and began to sign the contract.

.

.

.

.

.

– Zzzzzzz…

“… Huh?”

The dark vacant lot began to faintly glow, just as Lestrade finished signing the contract and put down her pen.

“Ugh…?”

Suddenly, Gia Lestrade’s abdomen started to twitch and a sophisticated golden seal appeared in that region.

“That’s why you shouldn’t leave my side.”

“What is this…”

“Once the slave’s seal is engraved, you won’t be able to leave freely any longer.”

She, who had been numbly rubbing her lower abdomen with a dazed expression, stared blankly with her jaw dropping upon hearing Adler’s words.

“You should have checked the contents of the contract properly.”

Adler whispered with a devilish grin on his face.

“Don’t worry too much, Miss Gia.”

“You…”

“I’ll be a kind and gentle master.”

Only then did Lestrade realize that he had been deceived. She began to curse him with a cold voice.

“Trash. Scammer.”

“Ouch.”

“Lowest, worst—”

“That’s too much to say to your master.”

“I wish you’d just drop dead.”

With every word, Adler flinched as Lestrade stepped on his foot. After a moment though, he looked at her cautiously, then leaned his head toward her shoulder and asked,

“Can I lean my head on you?”

“… Are you kidding me?”

“We still have to finish our date.”

Lestrade looked at him with the same cold eyes she had a few hours ago, then sighed and looked away.

“… I have no choice after all.”

With her eyes closed, she gently exposed her bare shoulder, something that was only visible due to her dress, and whispered,

“I love you after all.”

“I love you too, Gia.”

“Shut up.”

Their date, signifying their ambiguous relationship, continued until the next morning.

“”………..””

Beyond the closed vacant lot, two pairs of greyish eyes steadily blinked together in a dark light.
