Evil Duke, Please Be Gentle!

Just when Leo had braced himself for finally asking her then why she was trying to run away from their pre decided marriage, the girl continued,

"Not only that you look so handsome in your uniform like a true gentleman that everyone would believe that you are truly like that!" 

"......." wait! Why did he feel that the ending of the praise had something amiss! Was she trying to say that he was not actually what he looked like!

Was this an actual compliment or she was cursing him loudly. His eyes narrowed on the tiny face of the girl who was trying to take her brain and looking troubled.

"My lord, is the praise enough or you want me to think of more compliments for you?" she asked with an aggrieved face as if he had pointed his sword on her neck and forced her to praise him!

Did that also mean she was only trying to flatter him and did not think too highly of him as she said.

Why did he feel like he would have a heart attack if he continued to have conversations with her!

"Get away from here! Go and work on the files. Do you think an aide only stands and talks! Huh? I want all of these files completed before evening!" In the end he couldn't bear it anymore. 

He felt like he would have a heart attack with rage if he continued to look at her.

He stood up and left the room. But just when he reached the door and turned to see if she was trying to stop him or what reaction did she have! He only found her cussing him for being cruel and heartless.

This popped all the veins of his head and he walked out and banged the door shut with a loud thud that the girl inside the room flinched.

"What did I do this time? Haven't I praised him enough?" she shook her head as she did not understand why he was so flicker minded.

But just when she remembered his darkened face when he left the room, she felt a stuffy feeling inside her chest.

She did not like the way he was angry with her! Closing the file she looked at the time, it was already close to lunch!

"Should I order lunch for him?" Last time he was the one who had treated her! What if she would order food for him instead of going to the canteen. He would be happy with her generosity, right!?

She was even ready to party with the money because of him. What else could he ask for!?

With that thought, she stood up and walked out of the door.

She looked around to see the traces of the man who had left just a while ago but did not find him anywhere.

Shaking her head she walked toward the area where she was sitting with other staff a while ago. Those who were welcoming her and flattering her just a few minutes ago were avoiding her like a plague now.

Even when she looked at them as if she needed some help, they bowed her head and turned at other side before leaving from there hastily,

She pursued her lips as she looked at their behavior. She must have known that they would not be welcoming towards her after their colleagues were hired. Even when Leo was the one who fired her, she would be blamed since she was the reason.

And most importantly they did not have the guts to blame the son of a duke but it was easy to put the allegations on a commoner. After all, she was no less than a vixen who had trapped a rich noble.

Let it be! She is the one who need help so she would be humble and request them. She took a deep breath and walked towards the pair of man who were sitting on the other side and asked them in a sweet voice, 

"Excuse me, can you help me with…" before she could complete her words, they raised their heads and looked at her with strange eyes.

"We have urgent work to deal with. We will not be able to help you!" with that they left from there.

She stood there for a few seconds while looking at their retreating figure and sighed. It was more difficult than she had thought.

She had assumed that at least men would not be party to this cat fight. Now whom should she ask about the food?

Just when she had decided to give up and return to the room and turned to leave. She saw that a girl was still standing behind her and her face was still looking benevolent.

"Hello, lady Evangeline, do you need any kind of help?" her voice was calm and sweet just as the reaction of her face that confused Evan.

Why was she so friendly to her? Had she not seen the scene that filmed her just a while ago! No if that would have been the case, then she would not have known her name.

"Umm, I am looking for a way to order food for the young lord!" Since the girl wanted to help, she would not waste much time dwelling on why she wanted to help her.

She would just ask a few details and would leave, it was not like she was here to make friends.

"Oh! I apologize it will take hours if you order food from out of the ministry. Most of us eat what is cooked here!" the smile on the face of Evan faltered she had known that yet she had thought that she would do something special for the man.

"But if you do not like it, then you can make something special for the lord!"
