I heard a knock on the door and lowered my glasses. I was in my office, going through some documents when the knock sounded.
"Who is it?" I asked, my eyes darting to the door.
"It's me, the maidservant!" she replied.
"Oh! You can come in," I smiled.
The door opened, and the lady walked in, carefully shutting it behind her before approaching me.
"So, how is she? Did she eat all the food?" I asked curiously.
She chuckled and nodded. "At first, she didn't want to eat because she seemed to be in a hurry to leave, but I pleaded with her."
"Wait a minute. She said she was hurrying somewhere?" I asked, narrowing my eyes.
She gasped and quickly shook her head. "No, she wasn't hurrying anywhere."
"I heard you. Don't tell me you're trying to lie?" I said, raising an eyebrow.
"I'm sorry," she whispered, bowing her head slightly.
"Tell me everything I need to know. What happened?" I demanded.
"She left her room and begged me not to tell you," she whispered.
"Why would she leave her room?" I asked, my voice cold and demanding.
"I have no idea. She just left and didn't tell me anything," she replied, almost shivering.
I took a deep breath
. "So, did she tell you where she was going?" I asked, and she shook her head.
"She didn't tell me anything," she replied, and I stood up.
"You should go now," I said, gesturing for her to leave. She bowed and walked away.
I sighed and grabbed my phone from the table. "Damn!" I muttered under my breath when I realized I didn't have her phone number since I never bought her a phone.
I became worried, wondering where she could have gone and why she tried to hide it from me. I called the pack secretary, instructing her to get a brand new phone for me. I was getting it for Vivian, of course.
After making the call, I hurried out of the office and went straight to her room. I knocked on the door, but there was no reply, so I entered and saw that she wasn't there.
I didn't give up. I looked around, searched the bathroom, and even the balcony, but she was nowhere to be found. I called her name, but all I got was silence.
I sighed in despair and walked towards the door. Just as I was about to open it, the door swung open and hit my face. I groaned and held my face in pain.
"Who is that!" I growled, ready to unleash my anger, but when I saw Vivian before me, I calmed down.
"Vivian..." I whispered.
"I'm sorry, are you hurt?" she asked, coming closer to me.
"I'm fine," I whispered.
"Let me see!" she said, sweeping my hair to the side. She sighed and her face turned sad.
"What's wrong?" I asked, concerned.
She sighed deeply. "You shouldn't be worried about me. Look how red your forehead is. It's all my fault."
"No, it isn't your fault. It was just a slight mistake," I said, smiling.
"I'm sorry," she whispered, then held my hand. "Come, let me treat it before it gets worse."
I nodded, and she led me to the bed, where she sat me down. She went to the cupboard, took out an ointment, and started applying it to the spot. I was sitting down while she stood between my legs.
I looked up at her and smiled, but then I suddenly sighed, and she looked down at me.
"What's wrong?" she asked, rubbing my face with concern.
I sighed again, wrapped my arm around her waist, and pulled her down onto my lap. Her face looked shocked as she never expected that from me.
"Where were you?" I asked, and she gulped.
"Me?" she whispered, pretending not to know.
I nodded and replied, "Yes."
"I never went anywhere," she replied, forcing a smile.
"You're lying, Vivian!" I said, pointing at her face. "You weren't in your room when I came here, and someone told me you went out, saying you had to go somewhere."
She chuckled and clenched her jaw. "I can't believe this! That lady told you everything?"
I smirked and nodded.
"How could she? She promised me," Vivian pouted.
"Don't blame her. She didn't stand a chance against me. You know how vicious and cold I can be," I said, gnarling. Vivian laughed and stroked my face.
"Actually, I went to Laura's bedroom, and she told me she has seen a trainer. He will be coming tonight, and I wanted to see what he looks like," she said.
"Were you trying to hide from me?" I asked, frowning.
"Not at all. I was just trying to keep a low profile. I wanted to tell you after I had seen him. Then This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.
I would tell you everything," she explained.
"I'm still sad, though," I pouted. She quickly kissed my lips, and my cheeks flushed red.
"Are you still sad?" she asked, grinning.
"No," I whispered. "No, I mean, yes!"
"Huh? But why?" she asked.
"You think a simple kiss will make me happier?" I scoffed, and she laughed.
"So, what do you want?" she asked.
"I want you to..." I paused when I heard Stephen's voice. He was mind-linking with me.
"Hurry! We have a problem. The elders suddenly called for a meeting, and they want you there immediately," he said.
I was about to tell Vivian everything when the door abruptly opened. We turned our heads to see Laura staring at us.
