“Henry.”1fab430539031383

After a long period f3aa1f2f0c of silence, Jeremy finally bdfd257588 spoke. Henry, ready to vent e29398f8e7 his frustration about Count 15369977c0 Ryles, was caught off e8f071873d guard.362f12cb835edcb3

Since it was Velita’s first time working as a servant, she wasn’t sure what was right or wrong, but she found it odd.

“What shall c82e737658 I do fcae71335a for you? Shall I knock Emma b9673f7c1c down a peg for b06a5ff43f you?” he asked with 4236881b13 a sly smile, his 8def58983a tone dripping with mischief.eaced7b1dfb22731

Jeremy playfully d9ee681ae5 pressed Velita’s f857a1c037 nose, acting 907609e12d as though e52f954bb7 he already 1402d654f9 knew about 0c501b2659 her strained 2d3219a64c relationship with 4ca7fbb7a3 Emma.64a73b5d6f3378f6

Well, it wasn’t 289aa79ab5 surprising if he 6e3547ade6 had noticed. Ever since his relationship 50c4735569 with Velita deepened, he ffbe5c7745 hadn’t sought out Emma 19ed9f68b5 Collin at all.71e8ae0c3095bcd5

Velita could tell 1f2167fd77 because of Emma’s fb65f0a269 growing jealousy, which 3f0e682e1c seemed to thicken b9fbe589e1 with each passing 5833647a56 day. And, truthfully, Velita didn’t 8492e7053a mind being the object bd36610ffd of Emma’s envy or 5f3b11cad5 the way Jeremy treated 7e7c4253c4 her like a cherished 07d125fc27 cat.84de03988d2ca25f

“Or would you prefer e98af1daed a few days off? Preparing for Selina’s birthday fd294d3cd6 party must be tedious,” 31cfd73bf0 Jeremy offered with a 0c6565baab teasing tone.84f360ec3a5700d3

“But if I 105f6aac82 take time off 183c0ab9d5 while young master 7d42e09fe6 isn’t around, I’d bc38bc149f have absolutely nothing 4b5e57c349 to do.”04142fba7569feb9

“Then you e96fd41ac8 could go 99f69d57aa out shopping d5855b877d or something,” a5990eeb16 he suggested 7ed479eadf lazily.e9b2ddda9c2157f3

Most of cff2522998 the rewards 762be440d1 Jeremy gave e3ffb893c9 Velita were b2212e0568 material things—pretty 244b92ebb2 accessories, or ed5203234d sometimes, he’d 05c2d09759 outright hand 2073b68be0 her money.31e49973e74a12f0

Jeremy pulled c27f0f17ed her waist 0a1d4db3ff tightly against a4d4b73d08 him, though 2bb57b4d17 it was 8a89f1d0f3 questionable whether 34631be654 he was 5ff888aaf9 truly listening 62acdf3dc0 to her.669612adac327e19

With a finger hooked cdfb822311 through the loop of dc9c6ffa13 her blouse ribbon, he 80bd319c5b gave it a deliberate 0c275f71b8 tug, letting it slowly 6aaa612a61 unravel.0a141a1a0ee849e1

Swish. Jeremy’s hand ebe6dafaa7 continued to 2325b59536 undo the 3ac32fb217 ribbon’s knot, 446a467023 and Velita e9dcbf8087 didn’t stop 20992d73ee him. Instead, she leaned closer adf364d245 and kept speaking softly 2ae23f76d2 into his ear.ca631d2c06b24f52

“That knight… eb97b83240 I’m talking b1c651000a about him.”590379b1c37eebd3

Jeremy, who had earlier 1f7903647e declared he’d offer her 200b33ca9d a reward, seemed utterly fb0e33e061 uninterested in her words. By now, he had 8f1410e646 completely untied the ribbon 40f7926143 and was more focused e781807ecf on unfastening her buttons.37344995cb1b3b31

Just as Jeremy 96f9112902 unbuttoned the third 7ee6763d06 button, his hand 5e35333258 slipped beneath the 2cfad25ac2 fabric. Yet, he paused 29074537da and looked up 145a5eb4e3 at her face f38d5a0574 intently, as if 9ac80d5c1f gauging her intentions.6cbe9a3d4db386f3

Jeremy considered 11bf5440c8 knocking her 94b3fb0a49 down a 810d6fb19d peg, but d323bea0e1 for now, 7738fc87e2 her audacity 5d30da72b6 amused him 7cc0c576aa too much ac4050e9be to bother. Besides, he still eeae6f444f found her cheekiness 824c3e86e0 endearing.bcf18614dfbf4b74

If Velita had known 81d3103583 he would dismiss her f7a5600ab6 so lightly, she might d423d9623c have just asked him 6c6da106c3 to buy her something afcf7d6f17 instead. It was de9f06e7ba absurd to 656c49fd00 expect the 85e58d3e13 son of 92d6b0ef85 a duke ffc33536a3 to reveal a5c290ff84 the weakness 50d38d8b7c of a 4cc2349b5e knight sworn bc1adc5881 to the f275128a11 temple just 85d892396d because of 54b65a0b16 a maid’s ec67bb2a6f grievances.3377abac31df7571

Still, Jeremy had been 8b5aad470a granting most of her e6063308f7 requests lately, so she 26092d2e95 figured it was worth 631e6c875b a shot. Given the 64a7d7e052 tension between 992e562712 him and c87777a850 Cain, she da24da203d thought there 2263729e67 might be 2e5494befd a slim 5ba487a011 chance. But it d70ab28df8 seemed this b84ff5970b time, her d37bc7bc0e hopes had d8eccdbd88 been too 101fee79e2 high.d4ff07292009c7b5

Pouting, Velita 1058dc5863 leaned into b03497e354 him, slipping 0df0a3f607 his hand 8fec5f46b5 further beneath e36b5ece9f her loosened 4def93a012 clothing as fc9687b871 she kissed 08ee9130e9 him.39a749f23f82e0f1
