Sold To The Wicked Him

With her words, Lea doesn’t understand what she really means by it. She thought that it was something about a different matter.

‘Did I do something bad? Is it about the dress? Will she get in trouble after I ruin this dress? Oh no, I should ask Aiden not to punish her. He knew that it was me who was in the wrong and not her. I should talk to him so that Lilith won’t be in trouble- ‘

Thinking about things like those, she didn’t realize that it wasn’t something about what she was thinking.

“Everyone in this mansion heeds no attention to me. If they even did give me some, it would end up with them questioning things. I… have no idea why a madam of the house like you would even bother giving me such kindness. When in all my life… only my family give me kindness as this… ”

“Lilith…”

“If you want to ask something from me, please do tell it right away. You don’t have to shower me with kindness and concern…”

Having that kind of reaction, Lea has no idea what might possibly be the reason why she was hurting but… she knows one thing. She hates it when someone is sad like that.

Taking a small step forward, she put down the white fur ball on the floor as she put her hands on Lilith who was confused about what is going on.

“Didn’t I tell you before? I want to be your friend. So me being kind to you may partially have a part in it. But… honestly, you are kind and give concerned to me… I just want to give it back…” with a small smile on her face, Lilith mumbled with her eyes not wanting to believe in what she said.

“But… I was just doing my job… and… I am not kind… other maids think that I am not fun to be with-”

“They are all wrong! You are really kind and are a dedicated person. Isn’t it something that can be admirable?”

“Sometime… I really can’t understand madam…”

“It’s all right, I also can’t understand you sometimes too!”From NôvelDrama.Org.

She giggles which made Lilith slightly laugh. Even the dog woof in happiness as it wags its tail.

Having a friend is something you can call a blessing for not all people are granted with it.

“Master, it is the file that you asked for”

“Put it down and you can go”

Bowing his head, he leaves the room immediately. With Aiden putting his fingers in his temple, he really hates how things are going on.

‘Ah, right, I forgot to ask Lea about the plan… as soon as she went inside the house, she headed straight to her office and’- secretly following Lea till she heads to the office

‘… hah, just why is that bastard aiming at me again?’ Aiden stated. Pertaining to the man who is the reason why their works were stolen.

“If I ever catch who that person was, I will make sure he wouldn’t see the sun ever again”

Brushing his hair as his eyes frowning, a knock was heard as he was busy thinking about how to deal with that problem. He had already handled the matter but the fact that he can’t make the culprit out, he was somehow frustrated.

“Come in”

He answers as he thinks that it was Agustus calling him as the dinner was ready. But as soon as the door opens up, it wasn’t Augustus, but…

“Aiden, I didn’t have the chance to give you this, it is the plan that I have written…”

And as soon as she enters the room… she almost fell due to her not wanting to step at the fur ball that suddenly was pass through.

“Hey!”

She shouted in surprise. Even the sound of a chair suddenly being pushed was heard. Although that doesn’t make sense for the moment she looks at the side of Aiden, he was there sitting calmly on his swivel chair.

“Puff, don’t do that again, it scares me . . .”

Lea stand up not trying to feel the embarrassment of how clumsy she may look like, Aiden waited for her to continue her words. The very moment that she was in front of his desk, their conversation starts.

‘Puff?’

“Your proposal was indeed true, it would be a great move to force that culprit out. No one in the company shall know about it but me and me alone. That was great, to use the raw drafts as bait and let them think that it would be the final product, but on the contrary, that was just a fake one. . . you even think of giving them different samples just to know who really is part of that incident, that was great. This is great, I will use this ”

Smiling, Lea can’t help but feel happy about how she was able to use what she learned from her grandmother. But then the thoughts of her missing her loved one, made her have a sour written on her face.

“What? ”

Aiden asked the moment he saw her sour face. It was uncomfortable for him for some reason

” I just miss my grandmother . . . ”

There was a silence in between the room. It was true that we all have someone we miss to see. We have that special someone that we want to be with all the time. But life is not like a simple kid show that what you wished for will do come true. There are times when we will be lost in path and have no other path we could see. That no matter how much we want to go back, there is just no chance with us getting back to that. For time is inevitable, and time . . . can never be brought back.

“Then once this matter was settled, you can go and pay her a visit”

Her face suddenly lit up, with the sound of puff, the small white fur ball barking in his cute tone, Lea covers her mouth trying to suppress her smile. But even with her doing that. The fact that her eyes say it all, made Aiden think that it looks like a familiar smile for his eyes.

‘Where did I see it again?’

He wonders.

“Thank you, aiden… thank you”

Suddenly being frozen in a couple of seconds, he then remember where he saw that very smile. The smile that is like a newly bloomed daisies, so bright yet so calming. So astonishing yet so pleasing in the eyes…

‘That very smile…’

His eyes was stuck looking at Lea who was smiling so bright

‘Mom…’
