If she had slept or passed out again, she couldn’t really tell and cared less about it.

With a tired sigh escaping her parted lips, she rubbed off the lingering sleep from her eyes, equally allowing her brain to reboot after everything that happened last night made her feel a bit nauseous but she has no other choice but to hold herself together.

Sighing deeply once again, her eyes finally traveled to the door, only to see the glacier standing by the threshold while resting his back at the edge of the door.

He looked somewhat different from yesterday as he was dressed in a black pants, with a white long sleeve shirt along with a black vest to go with it. Despite his simple and easy appearance, the enigmatic aura was always there to remind one of not being fooled by his looks.

He was sarcastically humming something to himself but the unexpected entrance made Anna sit up in full speed as her energy coursed through her system.

“What are you doing here?!!” Her glaring tone still held a little bit of sleepiness and shock but the young looking man who leaned against the door, continued to hum until his gaze slowly landed on her.

“Punishment.” His sophisticated tone sounded rather punishing to her ears as well, he sized her up with his gaze, taking in her clear chocolate brown eyes and disheveled hair, probably due to how she slept since she was all over the place.

“Is that a drool?”

.....

“Huh?” A quick embarrassment shot up her insides as she hastily reached to wipe it off from her face with her hands, but when she returned her gaze back to him after feeling something wasn’t right, the being only smirked at her in a way that made her feel like a dummy, which Anna didn’t fail to notice and it made sense now.

“You..!!..”

“Baby girl, get out of bed, your work begins today.” He cut her off with his unusual calm tone, but Anna barely processed the rest of his words and only one got stuck to her head.

‘Baby girl?’ Did he just refer to her as that?? Thought Annalise as it made her blood boil for some reason.

Gently slipping out of bed and making her irritation unknown, she stood straight before him as she spoke firmly, “I might be starting today but do note that I’m a grown woman, not a baby girl.”

Apart from her innocent-looking face, his eyes literally scanned her body once again but the look in those beautiful eyes remained blank.

“You have nothing at the front to show for it.” Came his implied response after a few minutes’ pause and the room fell silent.

Anna was first confused as her eyes narrowed in suspicion but when she noticed his gaze settle on her chest, her eyes widened.

Was he talking about her bosoms???

Anna immediately felt like the ground should open and swallow her up this instant as her cheeks went rosy in embarrassment and she used her hands to wrap her body, but there was very little things her hands could do. This unethical being!! She had completely forgotten just how immoral he was and that part of him hasn’t changed.

How dare he look at her body with such eyes??

“Ro_”

“It’s young master now.” He corrected before stepping away from the threshold, “get dressed and meet me at the downstairs corridor, we’ll begin from there.”

And he left before she got a chance to even speak or throw a fit of rage, her heart raced and she cursed him silently in her head, but immediately had to regain herself when a maid stepped in while holding a purple dress in her hand.

“His highness wants you to wear this.” The maid straightforwardly said her reasons for coming here while stretching the cloth towards Anna.

No doubt, Anna could easily tell the maid didn’t really like her as she received the dress, she silently wondered if the maid was a demon too or if she was forced to work here.

“Thank you.”

The maid quietly left after that while Anna’s gaze followed her till she was out of sight. Shaking that from her head as she had more important things to begin with, Annalise hurried to the next door in the room, knowing it had to be the bathroom.

Quickly dressing up and getting changed into the dress being brought to her, she equally packed her hair in a bun which perfectly brought out the delicate shape of her smooth face.

Studying herself in the mirror and knowing everything was right in place, she refused to let Roshan’s heartless words get to her and proudly arranged herself in the mirror before gracefully stepping out of the room, remembering the man she despised more than her life right now had told her to meet him in the downstairs corridor.

But she had one problem, how will she find the right one? There are so many corners that she was sure she’d get lost in an attempt to get to him.

Goodness, why didn’t she think of this??

Unwilling to anger the demon himself and let him suspect her, she hurried towards one of the stairs, holding on to the black colored rims and going after step by step. She came across the second hallway and took a left turn but then, how was she going to find him?

She was afraid to ask the maids for directions because she could sense they didn’t like her, but was it because she was human or an Euphrasia or Roshan’s maid? She couldn’t tell.

Making it towards the last part of the corner, she accidentally bumped into someone due to her hurriedness and the impact alone made her stagger back a bit.

“Ah.. forgive me.” It had become one of her habits to apologize when she ran into someone, her feets were always in a hurry and as she looked up to see whom she had ran into.

She met the glares of a complete stranger and took another step back due to the look in his copper brown eyes. Knowing exactly where she was and the rule to not annoy anyone, she immediately bowed her head.

“Forgive me, I didn’t see you coming.” She quickly apologized but the man looked rather irritated by her presence.

“Mindless maids these days, don’t you realize I can take away your life for this?” He threatened with his tone irked in frustration, According to Annalise’s analysis, it seemed like he was already in a bad mood and her careless actions had infuriated him further.

“Forgive me.” She bowed in apology but the man’s look of annoyance suddenly changed into puzzlement as though he smelled something sweet and his gaze retracted back to her.

“Who are you?” He asked instead, which sounded rather odd to Annalise but she didn’t dare to utter her thoughts.

“Annalise.” She politely responded.

The man’s cold eyes glinted a bit and before he could make a move...

“Uncle Evan.” He turned to look at the young man who had dared to call him and as expected, it was no one other than Roshan who unhurriedly made his way towards them with his hands sticking to his trouser pocket.

He caught up with them after taking a few more strides and paused, he turned his gaze to Annalise who still kept her head tilted down a bit.

To Anna’s quick surprise, he unceremoniously reached for her hand and drew her behind him as though he wanted to shield her from the menacing gaze of his uncle.

“No one ever knows when you’re around.” Roshan casually uttered before meeting his uncle’s stare and their eyes alone seemed to do the talking.

“I see.... A puppet of yours?”

“I don’t really see how it concerns you.” He calmly responded before a tiny smile appeared on his lips as though he had jumped to a conclusion, “but I hate puppets.”

Returning his gaze to the baffled Anna, he coldly said. “Never keep me waiting for irrelevant discussions you tend to have with nosy people.” He held her hand once again and dragged her off.

His uncle’s gaze still followed the sight of Anna’s figure and smooth skin before they turned red in hunger.

Once they were out of sight to his uncle’s gaze, he freed her wrist even before she could scold him for holding her without permission and he turned to look at her.

“Listen, as long as you’re under me, stay away from the rest you come across,” he warned before taking a dominant step towards her and leading the confused Anna to take a step back.

“When a fly dances carelessly along a spider’s web, it risks the wrath of facing the spider’s teeth. So be warned on how you move around here.”

“I wasn’t dancing carelessly and don’t compare me to a fly.” She stubbornly muttered, wondering how any of this was even her fault, but since she’s pretending to go by his rules, she might as well hold her tongue to avoid suspicion.

“Anyway, where are we going?”
