Meanwhile, Bruno was so focused, his eyes moving between the cookbook propped up on the counter and the pan he was stirring, completely unaware that Beauty was standing there, frozen in shock. The way his muscles flexed every time he moved, his intense concentration as he tried to follow the recipe. It was almost too much for Beauty to handle.Beauty felt her face glow redder by the second, and she quickly tried to snap out of it. She wanted to say something, anything, but her voice caught in her throat. "Why does he look so good in an apron? It's just an apron" she thought, mentally kicking herself for even thinking about it. And when he turned slightly to reach for something, Beauty's eyes went wide at the full display of his length pressing against the fabric, so low she could see the V-shaped line, and that long weight of his... "Oh... my God." She immediately slapped her hand over her mouth, trying to stifle the gasp that escaped her lips. This can't be real.Bruno, hearing

Bruno, noticing Beauty's flushed face and the whole situation, finally decided to do something about it.He awkwardly cleared his throat and excused himself."I'll, uh....go put on my clothes," he muttered, rubbing the back of his neck as he hurried out of the kitchen.Beauty, still standing by the counter, took deep breaths, trying to calm her racing heart.How am I supposed to be normal after all that? She thought, fanning herself with her hand.The image of Bruno in the kitchen apron was burned into her mind, and the lower part of his body... she couldn't stop the blush from creeping up her neck.She shook her head, then something hit her."My clothes!"A few minutes later, Bruno returned, but this time in his regular clothes-thankfully more covered now in a simple T-shirt and jeans.He found Beauty hugging her body as if she were naked."You... you changed my clothes?" she asked slowly."I... apologize for that. I had to take them off because of your temperature. I didn't mean any

Beauty's breath hitched, and she felt her whole body heat up under his touch.Bruno went back to his position, and silence fell between them again.Beauty picked at her food. She could feel Bruno's eyes on her, again!She struggled to keep her hands steady as she lifted a forkful of pancakes to her mouth.As she tried to focus on finishing her food, Bruno suddenly spoke up, his voice soft but sincere."You know... I never realized how much I cared about you until last night. I've always had a soft spot for you, but..."Beauty froze, her fork hanging mid-air. Her breath hitched at his words, her heart flipping in her chest."W-What?"Bruno continued."Seeing you sick, being here... It made me realize I don't want to see you like that ever again. It was scary. Please, be more careful."Beauty's cheeks flushed. She didn't know what to say.Was this an indirect confession? Was Mr. Bruno actually saying he cared about her, or was she overthinking and being delusional?The thought made her

Bruno opened his eyes slowly."You're done eating?""Yes, thanks a lot. It was delicious."Beauty smiled at him."I'm sure it's awful, but I am glad you enjoyed it. Now, you have to take your medicine," he said, standing up.Beauty's heart raced at the mention of medicine. She couldn't let him know she hated taking them!"Emm... Sir Bruno, I can take care of myself now. You need to rest.""Just Bruno," he replied, reaching into his pocket.He pulled out a small bottle of medicine."You need to take this, don't worry about me" he said softly, handing her the medicine with a glass of water, his eyes filled with concern."I will... not now," Beauty replied, avoiding eye contact, but he was quick to figure it out."You don't like pills?"Beauty's heart skipped a beat as she brushed an annoying strand of hair back behind her ear."No... of course not! I mean, I'm an adult. I'm not a child afraid of taking pills," she scoffed awkwardly."Then take it right now, in front of me," Bruno instru

"What! Tell me you are joking".Jessie snapped."Well, I am not! You are not supposed to be here in the first place. I told you everything's fine and that I will visit tonight".Beauty snapped back."Oh really? You expect me to ignore everything and go to work because you said it's fine, what if you were kidnapped and forced to say that? I had a thousand ideas in my head, I had to make sure you are okay!""Well, I am not kidnapped...".Beauty paused abruptly," wait, I sent you the message too?" she asked in surprise."Yes, you did!"Jessie showed Beauty, her message inbox then slowly raised an eyebrow."Too? Who else did you message?"Beauty sighed as she sat down on the couch, Jessie flopping down beside her with a look of eager anticipation. She could feel Jessie's eyes on her, waiting impatiently for an explanation.She ran her fingers through her hair, still feeling flustered from everything that had just happened."Okay, fine," Beauty started, knowing she couldn't avoid it any l
