Chapter 102 I Donst Care For Anyone (2/2)

”Jean, please escort Ms. Yimo downstairs. Make sure she gets in the care safely, thank you.”

Hanging up the phone Mimi looks back down at the files in her hand and continues to read them with Tobias who silently sat and scribbled something down.

In less than a minute, Jean came into the office to escort Emilia down. Not saying a word, Emilia stood up from her seat and walked out.

Before she left, Emilia turned around and bowed lowly.

”Thank you.”

Mimi's eyes never strained from her papers as she released a light hum in response. Smiling lightly, Emilia lowers her head and walks out with Jean behind her.

With just the two left in the room, Tobias set down the papers in his hand and looked at Mimi. Propping his chin with his fist, Tobias silently observed the girl's expression – an amused light shown in his eyes.

Sensing his gaze, Mimi looks up to see the handsome man staring at her intently.

”Is something wrong?”

”You care for her.”

Confused, Mimi's brows furrowed deeply, a slight frown settling on her lips.

”I don't.”

”En, you do. Otherwise, why would you be so concerned for her?”

”I was merely treating her how I would treat any of my employees if they acted the way she did. Which was foolish of her to do.”

Recalling Emilia resting on Mimi's lap and the dark expression on Mimi's face when the girl fainted, Tobias held back a smile.

Releasing a deep chuckle, Tobias reaches his hand out to ruffle the girl's short hair.

”It's alright to care.”

Fluttering her lashes, Mimi's lowered eyes glanced up to stare deeply into the man's black eyes. His large hand caressing her head became even softer once she stared at him, his touches delicate as if she was a fragile being.

”It's okay.” Tobias hoarsely whispered.

Pursing her lips and furrowing her eyebrows, Mimi's eyes avert Tobias's, the light in them slowly fading. ”I don't care. I don't care for anyone...”

Although her last words were muttered Tobias, nonetheless, heard her clearly. His movements stopped while his eyes darkened. Tobias's expression was dull while his hand resting on her head lowered slowly, retracting back to his side.

The air around the two became stiff and silent, none looking the other in the eye – both lost in their own thoughts.

After a few minutes, did Tobias break the silence by standing up from his seat.

”I'm going to get some coffee. Do you want anything?”

”Ah, milk tea please.” Mimi softly responded.

Tobias nodded and walked toward the door. Mimi followed the man's figure as he walked, her expression was unreadable.

”And a muffin, blueberry, please! I'm so famished.” Mimi whined.

Halting his steps, Tobias turned to look at the girl with arched brows.

Hadn't she just eaten lunch not too long ago?

Already predicting his thoughts, Mimi puckered her rosy lips. Noting her expression, Tobias chuckled.

”Alright, I'll be back.”

”En, you're the best Tobias!”

Smiling, Tobias left Mimi's office in silence. Once inside the elevator had the man's expression changed from indifferent to dark and chilly.

Clenching his fists to his side, Tobias closed his eyes tightly. Opening them to reveal his dark, chilling eyes, Tobias sighed.

He'll be patient and wait for her to open up. No matter what she said, he knew he couldn't get too hurt. After all, no one was hurting more than her.

”I'll be patient.”
