Chapter 101 Human Not Unbreakable Monsters (2/2)
This feeling, she never felt it before. Besides her father and butler, no one had ever scolded her before. They had always been too afraid to tell her anything.
Yet Andras's words, filled with scolding were also traced with concern. Genuine concern. Something Emilia wasn't too use to. Because of her wealth and status, everyone treated her like a princess.
Even when they appeared to show concern, it was all fake. But she didn't care whether it was genuine or fake, she simply wanted the attention of others.
But hearing Andras speak, her previous thoughts changed. She hadn't realized how comforting the feeling of someone caring for her was.
Before, when the female employee asked if she wanted to rest, Emilia hadn't understood how to respond. She was unused to such kindness that wasn't filled with hidden intentions.
Unable to respond to Mimi, Emilia simply nodded her head while turning her face to the side. Seeing Emilia's silence, Mimi merely sighed and leaned back on the sofa.
Honestly, taking care of people was too troublesome.
”By the way, thank you for catching me when I fainted,” Emilia muttered.
Tilting her head, Mimi glanced down at Emilia. ”Hmm? That wasn't me.”
”Eh?”
Just as Emilia was about to ask what she meant, the sound of the office door opening could be heard. Stepping inside the office with plastic bags in hand was Tobias Itou.
Dressed in a dark suit that concealed but highlighted his tall strong figure, the man's dark penetrating eyes glanced up only to halt upon staring at both Emilia and Mimi.
Emilia, faced toward Tobias was resting her head on Mimi's lap who stared down at the girl in her lap.
Both looked up to look at Tobias entering the office, both with different reactions. Emilia was beyond terrified to see the menacing, cold man standing in front of the door, while Mimi's eyes brightened upon seeing the plastic bags in his hands filled with containers
”That sure took you a while. I take it the place was packed?” Mimi chuckled.
Breaking from his daze, Tobias's eyes remained emotionless and cold. ”En.”
Placing the bags on Mimi's desk, Tobias's eyes glance toward the two on the sofa – an attractive eyebrow arching.
Noticing the man's expression, Emilia panicked and quickly scrambled off of Mimi's lap, nearly falling off the couch.
”Careful,” Mimi reached out to grab the girl before she fell off the couch.
Stunned in place, Emilia looked up into Mimi's eyes as she held her up. Flushing red, Emilia averted her eyes.
”A…Andras, you can let me go now, I'm fine.”
Not understanding the girl's inner turmoil, Mimi followed her words and let her go.
Before Emilia could let out a breath of relief, Mimi's face suddenly leaned in close and placed the back of her palm on her forehead. Resting her forehead on her palm, Mimi, with a serious expression, stared into Emilia's eyes.
”As I thought, you're burning up. I guess you do have a fever.”
”Ah…”
Emilia was at a loss for words and could hardly look Mimi in the eyes. Her brain felt fuzzy, a slight feeling of dizziness taking over.
Suddenly, the sound of a deep cough broke Emilia from her thoughts. Remembering the other person in the room, Emilia backed away from Mimi.
”I…I'm fine! It's just a little warm in here!”
Looking at Emilia with an innocent expression, Mimi pursed her lips.
”If you say so. But if you start to feel dizzy just tell me.”
”Ah…sure.”
He'd be the last person she'd tell! After all, he was the cause of her sudden light-headedness!
