As he walked down the corridor, his personal maid followed a few respectful steps behind, silent as a shadow.
Just as he rounded the next corner, another presence entered the hallway.
Kliatana.
Graceful as ever, she strolled forward. Her two newly appointed personal maids followed behind her, their heads slightly lowered, their steps perfectly in sync.
Her gaze lifted when she saw him.
She gave a soft smile.
A gentle nod.
And then, without a word, she passed by, leaving behind a faint trail of sweet fragrance.
Heres instinctively nodded back, trying to keep his composure as they walked past each other.
But the moment he was sure he was out of her line of sight…
Damn it!! She smells so good!!
Ahhh!! I want to talk to her! Just a little chat! Even a hello!
His brow twitched, his lips tight from the restraint.
Behind him, Mrs. Kathrine noticed.
She tilted her head slightly, her voice calm and composed.
"…Master Heres? Is something the matter?"
"Ah! N-No… Nothing at all!"
