Allen walked down the corridor. The soft hum of the ventilation system was the only sound accompanying his footsteps. Suddenly, he heard a rapid series of footsteps behind him. They were too fast for walking but not quite running, a hurried yet controlled pace. Allen's heart skipped a beat, and he stopped in his tracks, turning swiftly to see who was following him.
He half-expected to see Emma or Azura. Instead, it was Kai who came into view. The sight of Kai was both a relief and a surprise. Allen couldn't help but wonder if Emma had decided to let him go or if Kai had somehow managed to free himself from her grasp.
"What is it, Kai?" Allen asked, his voice calm but with a hint of curiosity. Kai stopped in front of him, his usually composed demeanor showing a slight trace of urgency.
"Have you had lunch, sir?" Kai asked, his tone respectful yet insistent.
Allen blinked, momentarily thrown off by the mundane nature of the question. "I haven't. I was just about to ask a servant to bring it for me," he replied casually, brushing off the concern.
Kai's expression remained serious. "What should I bring you, sir? You've missed lunchtime. Miss Emma and Azura have eaten too," he stated, his eyes reflecting a hint of worry. Experience tales at My Virtual Library Empire
Allen hummed briefly, his thoughts drifting to the idea of a simple grilled chicken with herb seasoning and vegetables. It was a familiar dish, one he often prepared for himself back when he lived alone in his apartment.
But as the present moment settled back in, he considered the effort it would take to make such a request. It seemed unnecessary to bother Kai or any of the other servants with a special order. After all, they were already busy managing the day-to-day affairs of the household.
Allen stared at her, the pieces of the puzzle slowly falling into place in his mind. 'Wait... she's annoyed because I slipped away just like that?' he thought, a hint of amusement flickering in his eyes. He pressed his lips together, trying to hold back the words 'How cute' that almost escaped his mouth.
He took a deep breath, trying to gauge her emotions. Emma had always been a complex mix of pride and vulnerability, and this moment was no different. "I didn't mean to upset you," Allen said softly, his voice sincere. "I just thought you and Azura would want some time to enjoy the pastries without me hovering around."
Emma's eyes flashed with a mix of emotions—frustration, embarrassment, and a hint of something else Allen couldn't quite place. "It's not that," she said, her voice softer now. "I just... I felt like you were treating us like children."
Allen's frown deepened, but this time it was out of concern rather than confusion. "I didn't mean to," he said gently.
Emma huffed and glared at Allen, her eyes blazing with determination. "You know... I will make you repay for everything you do," she said, her voice carrying a menacing tone that was almost comical coming from her. The intensity of her expression contrasted sharply with the typically serene aura she maintained, making the moment all the more dramatic.
Allen tried to hold back his laughter, but a chuckle managed to escape his mouth. He unfolded his arms, letting them rest casually at his sides. "Right," he said, his tone playful as he leaned back against the wall, adopting a relaxed posture. "What do you want to do?" he asked, his voice challenging.
Emma's eyes narrowed, her determination unwavering. "You will see it later!" she shot back, her voice firm and resolute. With that, she turned on her heel and left, her steps echoing down the corridor.
Allen watched her go. Emma's fierce spirit was something he both respected and found endearing. Despite her sometimes prickly demeanor, there was a depth to her emotions that he was only beginning to understand. He knew that her words weren't empty threats; she would indeed find a way to repay him, and it would be interesting to see how she chose to do so. But for sure...
"Having a little sister surely is not as beautiful as in slice of life stories," he muttered.@@@@
