Evil Duke, Please Be Gentle!

"Even now, the place you are holding! Do you even know what it meant for a man?"

"..........." she blinked and stared down when he pointed in a certain direction. She was sure that her hands were far away yet she took them away with the speed of lightning as if they burnt there.

"I.. I do not need your pants! Only a shirt is enough!" as the words left her mouth hurriedly, she dashed away towards the bathroom with the speed of lightning.

Closing the door, she leaned on it for a few seconds as she took deep breaths to calm her heart.

It felt like it would explode any moment! Her face was so hot and red with embarrassment! 

"How did he turn into a hooligan suddenly!" she shook her head as she remembered his eyes that were stirring. 

Thousands of ripples had formed in his soulful eyes as if he wanted to eat her then and there. It was a rather risky moment when he was standing there without a shirt and she was holding her dress so that it would not fall off!

For a second she had thought that he would take further initiative. She did not know if she was relieved that nothing happened or disappointed!

Shaking her head to take out that pervert thought out of her mind, she took off her dress that fell easily once she took out the coat and wore the shirt she had taken from him.

The shirt still has his lingering fragrance that engulfed her the moment she wore it. Her face that had hardly calmed down burnt again! Yet it gave her a warm feeling and she felt fuzzy!

Sitting on the edge of the bathtub, though it was not comfortable at all, she picked up the dress and assessed the condition of the threads! They were completely torn. 

Her brows knitted when she looked at the condition of the threads. They looked worn out as if they had been tied and loosen so many times that they had been torn from there.

But the dress was new. She had only worn it once before. Then how did that happen! She brought the dress closer to her face and looked eloquently when she realized that they were forcefully rubbed against a hard surface or torn halfway by a sharp object!

And it was done so meticulously and bound them in a single tight knot that the person wearing the dress would not realize it until  the last piece of the thread was torn.

So that was why she was hearing the sound of snap and having an illusion that her dress malfunctioned all day!

She pursued her lips but did not say a word! If she would tell Leo, then he would only be more worried!

He already had much to look after! With that thought, she decided to look into the matter by herself later and mend the dress first.

Taking all the pieces of threads she tried to sew them slowly.

Leo continued to stare at the door for a while. Though his expressions were still placid, there was a storm brewing in his eyes. They had turned darker and he felt the desire, he had never felt before.

His grip on the belt was so tight, only he knew how he was controlling himself to hold her in his arms and tell her everything would be fine!

"The drunk Evan was better than the alert one!" he muttered slowly as he realized that she was not going to come out anytime soon.

Walking towards the table, he opened another file to work on, but no matter how much he looked and tried to concentrate, he did not pass beyond the first line.

He closed the files abruptly and messaged his temples. If he opened the door and walked in, she would surely label him as a pervert but if he would not go then he would go crazy by his own thoughts.

"Evan, do you need any help?" He knocked on the door to make sure she knew about his presence. If he would then go in, then it would not look perverted. But it meant that he was only worried about her.

Evan, who was still busy stitching , jumped up at her place due to the sudden call and lost her balance.

She was hardly managing to sit on the edge of the bathtub in which she fell and water splashed all over her body.

"Splash!" instead of the reply of the girl, the sound of splashing of water responded and his frown grew deeper.

"Evan, I am coming in!" he announced and before the girl floating in water could deny, he was already in!

Taking hasty steps in the bathroom, he found her legs high in the air while his upper body was drowning into the water. After a struggle, her hands had found the edge of the tub and was about to come out when he ran to her and held her hand tightly in his big hands and pulled her out of the bathtub.

"Cough" "cough" "cough" "cough" 

"Are you okay?" he asked as he rubbed her back when she tried to take a deep breath but only water came out and her coughing continued!

After she had coughed enough water out of her body, she started to take deep breath and her whole face turned red,

"Are you mentally ill? Why are you even sitting on the edge of the tub when it is filled with water? What if I have not come in suddenly? Were you planning to drown in the water in this strange position!

What others would have thought when they would come to know that you died by drowning in the bathtub!?"
