“What!! You scared me! Can you not walk around like a cat?” Eryna shouted in surprise.
“You came back with Ayden?” He ignored her words and asked.
“Y-yes?” Eryna was suddenly confused.
“Why?” Micah asked in a weird tone.
“Because he asked me to, he was going home so we decided to come back together,” Eryna replied.
“Are you sure that it was the only reason you came back with him?” Micah’s eyes and a weird emotion dancing in it. He looked very mysterious at the moment.
“What else?” Eryna asked.
“Okay, I will believe you,” Micah retreated, and suddenly there was a knock on the door,
“Come in,” Micah was about to speak but Eryna spoke before him,
A maid entered the room holding Eryna’s bag.
She was puzzled when she saw Eryna sitting in the chair where Micah usually sat, and Micah standing beside her like a guard.
“This—“ She couldn’t believe her eyes, she looked down at the bag and then back at Eryna.
“Yes, bring it here,” Eryna spoke up.
“Yes-“ she entered the room cautiously and placed the bag on the table in front of Eryna.
“ Your food is getting prepared, it will be served on the dining table within ten minutes, you can come down then,” The maid muttered.
“No need! Just bring it here, I am thinking of staying here for a long time,” Eryna gave a meaningful look to Micah.
“Here? But...Master,” The maid glanced at Micah who looked really pissed.
“I am the new master of this room so do as I say,” Eryna interrupted her.
“Yes?” Her face was painted with disbelief and she glanced at Micah who stood beside Eryna speechless.
she left the room with a very complicated expression making Eryna feel very good.
She picked her bag and pulled out her files, and opened them up.
“Let’s see…” Eryna completely ignored Micah and started doing her work.
She stared blankly at the papers and then picked up her phone to search online for guidance.
“What are you doing?” Micah got irritated by the way she was handling things.
“Why are you still standing over here, sho...go back to your place, and don’t disturb me,” Eryna frowned when she saw Micah standing and peeking over her shoulder.
“Sigh, this will give me nightmares,” Micah pulled out the file from her hand and looked at the content.
He opened the laptop on the table, he was bending down to reach its height, Eryna flet a bit sorry for him so she quickly left the seat for him. Micah raised one of his eyebrows in surprise as she looked at Eryna.
“If you keep that expression on your face I am going to sit back on this chair and never let you use it again,” Eryna spoke.
Micah’s lip curled into a quick smile that vanished within a blink of an eye.
Eryna pulled another chair and sat beside him, she keenly observed him trying to learn from him.
Micah glanced at her and was surprised to see how keenly she was looking at what he was doing.
“Is it helpful?” Micah teased her.
“Hmm...very much,” Eryna replied, still looking at the papers before her.
“I bet Ayden didn’t teach you like this!” Micah blurred out his dissatisfaction.
‘Huh? Ayden? Where did he come from? Were we talking about him?’ Eryna thought to herself.
Micah continued and Eryna didn’t bother answering his question.
The door of the room opened after a knock, it was the butler carrying the food tray.
“My lunch is here,” Eryna jumped off the chair in excitement.
Micah looked at her taking the tray from The butler’s hand and happily walking towards the sofa he sat on a while ago. She pushed away the files placed on the table and replaced it with the tray, Usually Micah would get angry at such actions but he kept silent, Micah noticed that he was glaring at her way too much so he quickly averted his gaze back to the screen,
“Have you eaten yet?” Eryna asked while her mouth was full. Micah glanced at her stuffed face and shook his head sideways.
“Sigh! Aren’t you hungry? I mean I know it’s important to work but you can’t just ignore your stomach like that!” Eryna mumbled while cutting the steak into bite size pieces.
“I am not hungry,” Micah replied.
“Yeah! Yeah sure you are not hungry but here have some of this,” Eryna got up from the sofa and walked back to the chair beside Micah.
“Why are you giving this to me?” Micah was suddenly puzzled because not long ago she was about to start a war with him and now she was feeding him.
“You are doing my work, this is the least I can do for you,”
Micah glanced at the plate with a suspicious look.
“Sigh, Dear Mr.Luis, can you stop suspecting me? I know you still think I have a huge motive behind marrying you and that’s not wrong because it might be the reason, but at least trust me this much that I would never purposefully take away what doesn’t belong to me, I want to get out of this marriage as much as you want but we both know that’s not possible for the time being.” Eryna placed the plate beside him and continued, “So, let’s not fight for the time we are together, I am really tired of fighting already...let’s be friends,” Eryna held her hand out for Micah.
“...” Micah didn’t answer, but picked up the fork and took a bite of the steak.
“I am not that stupid to trust you, Not until I know your real motive.“ he got up with the steak plate in his hand, “ thanks for the steak by the way,” he went out of the room with a smirk on his face.
“Real motive? Do I have one? All I want is to spend the rest of my days in this mansion, with peace. Is that too much to ask?” Eryna muttered under her breath.
“Well at least he helped me out with my work,” Eryna sat back in the chair and looked over to the screen, suddenly her phone rang, it was Simba.
Eryna started at the caller ID “Love (heart)” with love filled eyes and picked up the phone.
“Mommy!! I missed you so much,” a sweet voice spoke from the other side.
“I missed you too, You are my guardian angel!! How did you know I wanted to hear something sweet?” Eryna replied.
“Mommy thinks I am sweet?” Simba asked.
“Yes, you are the sweetest,” Eryna chuckled.
‘Click—
Micah walked in through the door, Eryna’s heart skipped out of her chest when she saw him.
“Mommy you know what? I baked cookies,”
“You did? That’s so nice to hear—“ she spoke lightly, and slowly walked past Micah. She quickly opened the door and sprinted away from the room as fast as she could.
“Mommy? Are you okay? What happened to your voice?” Simba sensed something odd.
“Everything is fine, Mommy was just—“
“Did the evil monster hurt Mommy? Is mommy hurt?” Simba spoke worriedly.
“No-no, dear Mommy is okay, she is just hungry,”
“Okay! I Will believe you, but don’t worry Mommy, I am eating a lot of food and I will grow up soon...I will fight the monster and save you from him,” Simba spoke with determination that made Eryna laugh out loud.
“You will?” Eryna replied joyfully.
“Yes I will come to save you,”
“Okay then, I will be waiting for you,” Eryna replied.
They talked for a while until Simba felt sleepy and Eryna decided to let him sleep.
