Chapter 143: Counterfeit Cup
Chapter 143: Counterfeit Cup
The door opens. Kayden unwillingly brings in a cup of milk while twitching his mouth. He places it carefully in front of Elaine, and says sulkily, “The young master ordered me to let you have a cup of milk before you go to bed.”
“But I don’t want to drink it. I am not hungry. Why don’t you drink it…” Elaine suddenly realizes that the cup that Kayden serves…looks so familiar!
“Huh? Is this cup…my cup?” There are paintings on it which she painted before. But…she didn’t bring it here. It was clearly on her desk the day before she left the country.
Kayden takes a look at the cup. He still keeps his serious face, and says, “Yes, this is your cup that the young master brought over specially for you from the country.”
“Oh…he’s quite thoughtful. Where is he? What’s he doing now?”
“The young master has gone to the woods to practice martial arts.”
“Practice martial arts? Is it some peerless martial arts?” Elaine opens her eyes wide, looking curious.
Kayden, on the other hand, is very annoyed and is on the verge of a breakdown.
Ahhhhh, he’s the most skilled hitman in ZH Clan! Even though he has stopped being a hitman for many years, he’s still an expert of martial arts in ZH Clan. Why he has to face this ignorant girl who doesn’t know anything, serving her as her servant? Why he has to try being patient and explaining everything to her?
“Yes, the young master has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and he’s very good at it. He still has to practice it every day. It has become a habit of him. Is there still anything? If nothing, I’ll go out first. I’ll leave the milk here. You can drink if you want. That’s what the young master ordered anyway,” after Kayden says that coldly, he puts down his glass, turns around and goes out.
Elaine purses her lips while looking at Kayden’s back. “Really, what’s so great of you, aren’t you just a little sidekick beside Bad-bear Smith? I’m also Bad-bear Smith’s assistant. You and I have pretty much the same job contents. Don’t be too proud of yourself.”
Elaine crawls over and picks up her DIY cup, fondling it admiringly and happily.
Alas, according to that domineering temper of Bad-bear Smith, it’s necessary to do what he asks her to do. Otherwise…the consequences are quite terrible.
Milk? Just drink it. Elaine gulps down all the milk.
“Burp! I’m so full! If Bad-bear Smith keeps on forcing me to eat and drink, I’m afraid that I’ll turn super fat in just a few days. Alas, that would be too scary.”
Elaine fiddles with her cup. Suddenly! Her eyes pop out of her head! Huh? Where are all the snows she drew? She clumsily drew all those snowflakes one by one herself!
What’s going on? Why are there no snowflakes on the cups? Those snowflakes…represent Mark Wilson’s name!
Elaine wipes the rim of the cup with her small hand, “It’s not that the paint has fallen off, right? It’s impossible. The paint won’t fall off. Even if they do, it shouldn’t be just the snowflakes that fell off, right? Huh, this is so weird!”
At this moment, Elaine, who is always careless, finally notices something is wrong. Not only that this cup doesn’t have snowflakes, but the scratch that she once accidentally made on the bottom of the cup with a utility knife is also gone too!
The painting on the cup has trees and red berries too. But instead of snowflakes, there’s a blue sky on it.
“This is not my cup! Absolutely not!”
She doesn’t know that the cup she had originally made herself had already been viciously shattered by Emmett. Emmett ordered someone to made this replica of the cup as fast as possible.
***In Playback***
“President Smith, what do you mean, paint a tree on this cup?”
“Yes, come here and see. This is a rough drawing I made. Here’s a silvery ground, and there’s going to be a tree, and it’s full of fruit,” Emmett used a pencil to point at the sketch he drew, explaining it to the craftsman.
“Wow, President Smith, did you draw this yourself?” It was beautifully drawn, the lines were sharp and clean, yet precise and accurate.
Emmett nodded faintly. He was by no means a genius, but he really was extraordinary in memory and certain abilities. After seeing the painting on Elaine’s cup, as if it had been photographed, it was fully printed in his mind. Drawing that painting from his head was no problem at all.
“Here, you have to paint the sky with snowflakes…” Emmett suddenly stopped while saying that. He suddenly thought of Elaine’s happiness-filled words. These snowflakes represented the name of her favorite senior, Mark Wilson. She wanted to be in love and have a happy ending with him…
Thinking of this, then pencil in Emmett’s hands was gripped tightly by him. Clear jealousy was shown on his face.
‘Why! Why do you have the nerve to mention another man’s name in front of me without any scruples! How can you just ignore my, Emmett Smith’s feelings! I’m not going to let you get what you want! No
way! You want to be in love with Mark Wilson, rely on each other, and have a happy ending…but I’m not going to let you!’
“Here, don’t paint snowflakes. Change it, paint a blue sky instead. A clear blue sky with white clouds. For the rest, just follow this layout I’ve drawn. Finish the work as soon as possible. Don’t let anyone finds out that this is a new cup easily.”
“Yes, yes. I understand, President Smith. Please rest assured that I will complete the task successfully!” The craftsman was in a cold sweat. This task was so urgent and demanding…luckily that the price offered was very attractive. Otherwise, no one will do the job.
Emmett rotated the pencil in his hand and smiled crookedly. ‘Little girl, your Mark Wilson is gone, and the one who’s with you now is the blue sky, which is Emmett Smith! Hahahaha…’
***End of Playback***
“This isn’t my cup. It must be a mistake from Bad-bear Smith…” Elaine purses her lips and shakes her head, she was confused again, “But…why did Bad-bear Smith get a cup that looks so much like my original cup? If I don’t look carefully, I really can’t see anything strange about it. This guy is so fishy!”
Suddenly, Elaine remembers what happened on the ship just now. She was forced to say embarrassingly that she loves Emmett, and even taken the initiative to kiss him.
This is so embarrassing…
“Eh? Now that Bad-bear Smith is out to practice martial arts, there’s only Kayden and me here. I’ll get Kayden’s computer. Then I can just find the video and delete it! Wow, I’m so smart! Let’s do that!”
Elaine holds up her fist. Her eyes are sparkling with happiness. She wears her slippers and pulls open the door.
Her pajamas are pink and plump, wrapping around her shapely body. Her hair is fluffy and soft, which hangs down naturally. Below her neat bangs is a pair of dark, big, energetic eyes.
Elaine walks to the corridor carefully as if she had done something wrong. She sneaks a peek downstairs.
Haha, as expected, Kayden is sitting in the couch, watching a TV show.
Elaine twitches her mouth. Oh my. Even Kayden can understand the TV shows here? In other words, Kayden’s English is far better than hers? Thinking that…makes Elaine feels particularly devastated.
Hmph, the little sidekick beside Bad-bear Smith…is also so good in English…she feels ashamed.
Elaine clears her throat, then makes a flattering smile and says, “Kayden~~~.”
Kayden frowns immediately. He is frightened by that fox cry and almost falls to the ground. He quickly looks up and sees Elaine with a big smile on her face. A pink face, while in a pink dress…she does look like a little pink pet.
“You are calling me?” Kayden’s frown intensifies.
Elaine nods her head strongly, and her smile becomes even brighter. Her little fat hands lean by the railing, and she says softly, “Geez, it’s so boring, the TV show…isn’t interesting at all. Kayden, don’t you have a computer, lend it to me for a while. I’ll go on Facebook and chat with my classmates.”
Saying this, Elaine feels guilty and blinks her eyes vigorously. Oh my God, she’s so nervous. Does her face look sincere now?
Kayden looks at Elaine, who has a stiff expression, and twitches his nose, “You want to use my computer?”
“Yeah, yeah, I promise, just for a little while, really! I’ll just chat with my classmates for a while and give it back to you, okay?”
Elaine smiles so much that her cheek hurts. She is scolding Kayden in her heart.
‘This damn guy, why is he as hard to talk to as his master, Bad-bear Smith? Shouldn’t a man be more gentlemanly towards a beautiful woman? It’s much better if he just gives her the computer without all these questions. Doesn’t he know that if he keeps on asking, she will be exposed?’
Kayden thinks for a while. He still looks cold and doesn’t smile, “Alright, you can take it.”
“Yay, it worked!” Elaine jumps up happily with her fist facing the sky.
Kayden examines the wildly laughing girl with doubtful eyes. Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
Elaine immediately senses Kayden’s suspicion. She quickly restrains her smile and presses her clothes. She acts obediently and honestly, shrinks her neck, coughs, lowers her head and says softly, “Then, I’ll thank you first.”
