My heart was beating so fast and my hands were so cold as we reached the Medicine building.

“Elodie, just be polite. Thank him, give the umbrella back, and then leave. In that way, he wouldn’t be able to scold you,” Ella said to me.

I nodded my head as I gulped. “O-Okay.”

We approached the lady at the front desk of the building. She was a beautiful lady with a bob cut which suited her adorable face.

“E-Excuse me…”

She looked up at us and a smile immediately flashed on her face. “Hello there. Ho

    "I told you! The young master likes you very much!" Daisy cooed while we were on our way to the market."No, he doesn't.""If he doesn't like you, then why would he ask you to bake cookies for him? And you know what? I think he also got jealous when he heard that you baked some cookies for your professor."I shook my head. "Daisy, young master Henry is engaged. Also, he would never have feelings for someone like me. I am just a nobody."“Come on.. Don’t you even watch dramas on TV? Rich men usually fall in love with poor women!”“That’s on drama, but this is real life. That can never happen here.”“Fine. How about you? Don’t you have feelings for the young master?”I was taken aback because of what she just said. I stopped walking. Daisy also stopped while looking at me skeptically.“O-Of course, I don’t. He is already engaged, Daisy.”“You didn’t have to stop walking just to say that…” she said, obviously not believing what I just said.“W-Well, I only stopped because we are already

    “So, why did you bake cookies for your professor? Don’t tell me you have a crush on him or what?” young master Henry said as I put the cookies inside the oven . My hands jerked. The tray clattered against the rack. I shut the oven door and turned around slowly. Young master was still on the bar stool, one leg crossed over the other. Pajamas, messy hair, but his eyes were sharp. Young Master eyes. The kind that got answers whether you wanted to give them or not. “N-no!” The word burst out of me, too loud, too fast. I curtsied without thinking. “Young Master, I don’t— he’s a professor.” His eyebrow went up. “So?” “So,” I said, flustered, “I don’t have a crush. I was just… I was careless. I ran into his building during the rain. I got his grant applications wet. With flour on my shoes. He let me borrow his umbrella so I wouldn’t get sick.” He was quiet. "And you bake for everyone who’s nice to you?” I blinked. “W-what?” “Just because of that, you decided to give him cookies?” My

How can I help you?”“H-hi,” I managed, bowing my head a little. “I’m… I’m here to return something. To Dr. Westwood? He… he let me borrow his umbrella yesterday.”I held it out with both hands. The wood was still a little damp from the rain this morning. I dried it as best I could, but I was terrified there’d still be a mark.The lady’s eyes lit up. “Oh! You’re the umbrella girl!”My whole face went hot. Umbrella girl. He told her about me?“Y-Yes…”“Oh, he’s in his office. Just knock on that doo

    ELODIE’S POVI still can’t erase those words the young master said to me yesterday.“It looks like you think about that kiss all of the time.”Do I really look like that? My cheeks burn just remembering it. Well, I avoid him because I do feel awkward whenever he’s around, but that kiss… I’ve been trying to erase it from my mind. I try my best every single day to finally get rid of that memory.Elodie, stop thinking about that kiss now.What’s important is that I will never try to avoid the young master again. I’ll just act as if nothing happened. That’s right. In that way, he would be able to ignore me, too.I kept on mumbling to myself while walking, clutching my recipe folder to my chest. The rain made me late for my pastry practical, so I cut through the Medicine building. I’m not supposed to be here. I’m Culinary Arts. But Chef Dorman locks the kitchen at 7:50 and it’s 7:35.Just act normal. Like nothing happened. Like you’re not thinking about—Thud.I walked straight into someon

  • Mafia King's Innocent Mistress   CHAPTER 14: THAT SERVANT

    Henry's POV Most men get nervous before a meeting with the Kuznetsovs. I get bored. Their boss, Viktor, sat across from me in the back room of The Obsidian, sweating through his cheap suit while his men fingered their guns like that meant anything. I didn’t bring guns. I brought Perry and two numbers on a piece of paper. Numbers that would bankrupt Viktor by Tuesday if he didn’t sign. “You’re asking me to bleed, Henry,” he said, tapping the contract. I smiled. The one that made my father’s enemies sign faster. “I’m asking you to breathe. Bleeding’s what happens if you say no.” Luca didn’t move. He never did. That was the point. Viktor signed. They always do. That’s my usual life. Numbers. Threats. Men who think they’re dangerous learning they aren’t. I walk out of rooms and buildings change ownership. I say a name and people disappear. Clean. Efficient. Cocky, as my father used to spit before he died and left me his empire. Then I get home to the Denmarks' house and my

    "Look at that, Elodie! That dress really suits you!" Ella cooed as soon as I stepped out of the fitting room wearing the read off-shoulder dress that she chose for me."I-I don't really think this suits me, Ella. I-I don't feel comfortable wearing it..." I said while trying to pull the hem of the dress down, so it will cover my legs more.Ella shook her head and walked towards me. "You know what? You're just not used to it yet. For sure when you finally get a boyfriend, you'll get used to wearing more revealing clothes. You know boys like it when you wear clothes that show a little bit of skin.""I don't want a boyfriend, Ella.""You're just saying that because you haven't found him yet. Why don't you try and go on some blind dates?"I shook my head. "No need. I am not interested in finding a boyfriend. I have more important things to do.""You always say that. Oh, Elodie. Don't blame me if you end up growing old alone."I just smiled at Ella and was about to step inside the fitting r
