Thalia apologised as she pick up whatever she dropped on the floor . she w Its okay , I reassured her . My eyes landed on the bag she was holding and I recognised it , it was one of my bags . My stuff is here ? I asked her and she nodded . Your brother dropped them off this morning and I already put everything in the closet , as Aziel asked me to . She replied before disappearing into the closet . Speaking of him … I shifted my gaze on the empty space beside me and the bed look untouched . I didnt see Aziel since he left me at the door . Did he even slept here ? Thalia walked out of the closet . Where is he ? I asked Thalia . She instantly understood who I was referring to . Hes still at work , he didnt come home yet . She replied . Oh How about you freshen up and Ill serve breakfast . She suggested and I nodded . Since I didnt have any clothes with me yesterday , I ended up sleeping in the pink dress she gave me . I couldnt even shower . I sat down on the bed and reach to grab my phone from the bed table . I turn it on and my eyes widened when I looked at the clock . It was 9:15 am , I overslept . There were a few emails from the office and a few miss calls from my assistant , Nayve . Ill have to call her soon … I pulled the blanket off me and I stood up . I put my phone back on the bed table before walking to the bathroom . I did my business , brushed my teeth and washed my face . I then hop in the shower . The warm water hit my skin , making me sigh contented . I stayed for 15 minutes before I stepped out , dried myself Chapter5 7.585 and wrapped a towel around my breast . I walked to the big closet and found my clothes . I did a light make up , brushed my hair and then made my way downstairs . I found Thalia in the kitchen , flipping some pancakes . So how did you sleep ? She asked as I stood by the counter It was surprisingly good , I overslept which rarely happens to me . I replied making her chuckle . Thats great , she commented . She made a few more pancakes , cook some sausages and went near the fridge to get some juices . By the way , Aziel called again and he will be joining you for breakfast , Thalia informed me . That should be interesting . When will he be here ? As soon as those words left my mouth , we heard the door open . We turned to look toward the door and Aziel walked in while loosening his tie . Serve breakfast , Thalia . He told Thalia , briefly glancing at me . He might sound demanding and a jerk but the tone he used on her , show me that he respected her . It also seemed like he doesnt even want to look at me . You dont want to freshen up first ? Thalia asked and he shook his head no . Ill freshen up after breakfast . I need to go back to work right after . Aziel replied . He sat at the dining table , putting his phone on the table . He was sitting at the head of the table and I presume thats his usual spot . Take a seat beside him , Thalia murmured beside me . I hesitantly nodded before making my way to the table . I sat on the right side and he moved his blank stare on me . Thalia stood in between us with the breakfast and serve us . Aziel instantly dig in and i started to eat too . He abruptly stopped eating as if he remembered something and reached to take out something in his pocket . I watched as he removed one of his credit cards and slap it on the table in front of me , startling me . Chapter5 7.581 I should have given it to you yesterday before leaving , but I forgot . He said dryly , his cold eyes . boring into my dull hazel eyes . I kept the stare for a few seconds and it was enough for me to understand that this man hates me . He thinks I want his credit card ? His money ? I didnt expect him to like me or befriend me but neither did I expect that he would have so much hate for me . I was just a burden for him . Little does he knows that Im stuck here too … I dropped my fork lightly on the table , suddenly losing my appetite . Thalia , tell Alfred that he will be madams driver from now on , Aziel told Thalia , who nodded silently . Aziel stood up , grabbed his phone before making his way upstairs . I felt a hand on my shoulder and I looked at Thalia who was looking at me with a sympathetic smile . Im not hungry , Ill be in the library . I excused myself as I stood up . I walked to the library room. and closed the door behind me . I knew this wasnt going to be easy . I had mentally prepared myself for the worst before the deal but it still hit hard . I dont like this feeling of being a burden on someone . If it wasnt for this stupid contract , Aziel would be free , burdenless … he wouldnt even know me . I sat down on the ground , crossed my legs before closing my eyes . I took a deep breath in and let everything out . I did this for a few minutes before I stopped and opened my eyes . Catalaiya , you are strong . You can do this . Everytime you fell , you pulled yourself up and showed people that you didnt give a damn care … this one might be tougher but you are stronger . I inwardly encouraged myself . I stayed on the ground , my eyes looking outside through the window . The leaves sway as the wind blow . I took in the silent atmosphere and the peacefulness that this room offered . It didnt last long . I felt my phone vibrate and I looked down . It was a message from Nayve .
