Astreille sat down on her swivel chair when she felt how exhausted she was. He had just finished training with his boss, and he would almost faint from exhaustion because it was getting strict every day.
He was gentle at first, but he became aggressive when he saw her improving.
It looks like Astreille just wants to pin herself because of that, I hope she's not serious anymore. Her body always seemed to be beaten with fatigue.
It's been a week since she started working here, and those days are both hell and heaven.
Hell because of the training and the frustration she feels whenever Cord is around. And heaven because of how the guys treat her like she's a princess. And of course, Xord's treatment is extraordinary.
She's expecting Knights like him to treat her like a commoner and a weak woman. But it turned out to be the other way around.
He leaned on the table before closing his eyes. She felt the need to sleep but she still had some work to do.
"I'll just shut up for a moment, promise," she whispered.
But her body is too persistent to take a rest, she didn't even realize that her eyelids are giving up. Before even dark took over her mind, she felt two arms around her before lifting her body up.
ASTREILLE woke up inside an unfamiliar room. She got up from the bed in tears while holding the blanket that covered her.
"Where am I?" she whispered while roaming her eyes around the whole room.
The things around her are black so she's new, she's scared when she's alone inside a dark room.
The girl stood up on the bed before approaching a desk that was there. Astreille saw Xord's emotionless picture inside a frame so she knew that she's inside his room.
He smiled before caressing the picture of his boss. Even if he doesn't wear any expression, he's still handsome.
The girl was holding her chest when she felt the rapid throbbing.
Until now, she can't erase the love inside her heart for this man. She's admired him for years, she's read his works every time she's sad. But now, he was with it.
She didn't even know why she let the young man kiss her. He knew that he was just playing with her, apart from the fact that he was an idiot, he was also not the type of woman.
Knights are very powerful. Once you know you're against this family, you'll prefer kneading in front of them to surrender. That's how powerful they are.
They are also very rich, maybe a hundred billion is just a coin to them. So the girl will not be surprised that he is just playing with her, there are so many rich and fabulous women out there. Xord can get anyone with his looks and his surname.
He admitted that he was beautiful and his body was beautiful. Peeo he's not rich, he's not famous, he's not a model and even more so his name isn't powerful.
Astreille's hand dropped to the paper lying next to the man's photo.
He was about to read its contents when suddenly the door opened. She immediately turned her head to figure out who went inside.
The man appeared to her with no emotion on his face. It walked closer in his direction before picking up the paper on the table.
Astreille stood frozen in her place when he looked at her with those cold eyes. "Did you read this?"
She immediately shook her head. "N-No."
"Are you sure? It looks like you're hiding something from me," he said, still coldly.
She shook her head in tears. "W-Nothing, nothing really. P-Promise, I didn't b-read."
He backed away as the young man's gaze deepened. She bit her lower lip as she sobbed in fear. The young man was really doing something different to her, as if he were going to die of fear.
"Then why are you standing infront of this fucking desk, Astreille, if you have no other intentions?"
The sob disappeared from her mouth. "H-I didn't t-really read my boss."
"That's absurd. Tell me, are you a spy?" its question still looks sharp.
Tears dripped down Astreille's cheeks before shaking. "N-No p-po. Why would I be a s-spy when you hired me?" Next he sobbed. "A-I'm just leaving, k-if you're accusing me."
She was about to walk out when she heard how Xord let out a mischievous laugh.
The girl sniffed like a child when she saw how her boss laughed in front of her.
"I was just teasing you," the man said, still laughing while his stomach was still full.
Astreille cried more than she heard. She sobbed before closing her face on both hands.
"Fuck. Baby."
She felt how Xord caged her inside his arms. "I'm sorry, h-don't cry anymore."
She sobbed even more. It was just fooling him, he was about to die of nervousness and fear. He didn't know how scared she was a while ago.
"Hey, I'm sorry, baby. Please, don't cry. I'm sorry," the man pleaded softly as he wiped away the tears on her cheek.
"D-Don't scare me like that, please. I'm scared of you, k-so don't scare me like that, please," he begged.
Xord bit his lower lip. He nodded before kissing her cheek. "I'm sorry, I felt bad, fuck it. I'm really sorry, baby. You're so beautiful whenever you cry, I didn't mean to scare you."
He nodded slowly. "Don't m-don't say that again."
His boss nodded his head. He rubbed both her cheeks before smiling sweetly. "We're okay now, right? You aren't mad at me, baby?"
The girl shook her head. "N-Not anymore."
"Good. Come on, let's eat lunch with those bastards."
The girl nodded before adjusting herself. The faint sobs still escaped his mouth causing the young man to smile.
"So cute," he whispered.
