"Hey, Xord. Eat it, come on, I'll test you," Astreille gently held his forehead, and it's still burning.
"Baby," it replied.
He raised his hand slightly and quickly grabbed it. "I'm here. Why? Do you want something to eat? What? Tell me, I'll just cook for you."
He smiled a little. "Nah, it's okay. Can you call my brother for me? Find brother Dagger's name on the contact. Tell him to handle my agency for one day."
He handed her the cellphone which he immediately took. "Password?"
"O208A," was his reply which he immediately put down.
02, 08? That's the date of her birthday. Maybe that's just a coincidence.
She looked for the name "Dagger" when she saw it she immediately called the number.
She almost froze on her seat when she realized that Xord's brother is a Knight too. She was so worried about the young man that she didn't think about it.
"H-Hello?" he stuttered when the line was answered.
"Hello, who's this? Xord? Why does your voice sound like a woman's?" It was a girl who answered her.
"N-Oh, I'm sorry. I'm Astreille, my boss is Xord and he told me to call the Dagger Knights," Astreille answered.
"Oh, my boyfriend? Okay, I'll call him. And don't lie to me, sweetheart, I've been there before. You're his girlfriend, I know. Keep it up honey," she said softly. .
Astreille smiled awkwardly. "T-Thank you po."
"Yeah, no worries. I am Sailing by the way." Astreille's eyes widened at what was heard.
"Omg. You're a famous actress, right? I'm a fan!" he said excitedly.
"Thank you so much, Astreille, nah, I'm not just famous, I'm sexy too. That's why Dagger is dead to me because-- Ahrg! Dagger is rude huh? I'm talking on the phone!" Astreille was startled when he suddenly shouted.
"Who the fuck are you talking to? The early morning, Saellyn."
"You're calling me Saellyn?"
"N-No baby. Ofcourse. I love you, don't get mad."
"Give me the phone, baby! Xord has something to say!"
"H-Hello?" Astreille whispered.
"Hi, honey! Sorry for that. This is my boyfriend, you can talk to him," Saellyn uttered.
"Hello? Who the fuck is this? You sound like a woman." Astreille was chilled by the coldness of the man's voice.
"Hi p-po, I'm Astreille. Xord has a high fever po kasi, and he wanted you t-to handle his agency for one day," he stammered.
"Yeah, take care of my brother. I'll take care of it."
He bit his lower lip as he dropped the call. Rude and cold. Anyway, so is Xord.
Astreille went back to bed before laying Xord's phone on the table. "Hey, your bother said okay. He's supposed to take care of the agency."
"That's good. Come on, baby, feed me," she said softly.
She smiled a little before holding the spoon. He shot the young man so that he would not get tired.
After eating, she let him drink his medicine to ease the pain. The girl prayed that the man would be healed, she was not used to seeing him pale and weak.
The girl looked at the door when she heard a series of knocks there. He picked up the small table before opening the door.
"Oh, auntie. Good morning," she said.
"Ija, your friends told me before they left, your boyfriend is sick?" worried about this promise.
Astreille smiled awkwardly. "Auntie, eh, he's not my boyfriend."
"Asus. Believe me. Oh, how? Do you want me to go to the market first to buy him some leaves? Alas, I know of a drink that heals. It's effective because that's what Marie always drinks," was its long litany.
Astreille smiled. "Thank you aunt. I'm sorry for the inconvenience, I can't even leave my boss here."
"It's nothing, son, what are you. The market is just near here and I'll take Marie with me. I've fed your uncle a lot, and he's just resting."
"Thank you so much aunt." Astreille bowed her head to send her gratitude.
"I'm there, ija. Just keep an eye on your visitor."
It took the bitbit from his hand. She closed the door when her auntie was gone.
Astreille went back to bed before arranging for her boss to lie down. Her every touch was tender as she combed her soft hair.
"Rest first, huh? Don't worry about the agency too much," the girl said.
"I'm not worried for the agency, I'm worried about you. I don't want you to tire of taking care of me," he answered with his closed eyes.
"I'm not tired, e. I'm used to it because I always take care of Jezreel whenever she's sick," the girl said.
"Your friend is still at fault for me. She told you that I'm a freakin 'playboy when I only have my eyes on you. I hate her," he replied firmly.
Astreille smiled sweetly. "We've been best friends for years, Xord. Jezreel is just worried about me because I've never been involved in this before. And if she ever met a Knight like you too, I'll also do the same thing. ' One because that's what's being reported in magazines. That you guys are ruthless. And we care for each other so it's a natural thing to do, bad judge yes, but that's what the media makes us believe. Even you, you said that you hate my best friend but you didn't even know her that well. "
The young man held her hand before kissing it. "Okay, fine, don't get mad at me. My pain will get worse, go ahead."
She chuckled. "I'm not mad at you. I'm just saying, Xord. All right, rest again."
"Stay here?"
"Yes. I'm just here next to you, I promise." She raised her hand like she's taking an oath.
"Hug me, my love. Thank you for taking care of me," he whispered before kissing her forehead gently.
The girl just smiled as she hugged the man next to her.
