The Undefined Love

Deming became weirdly silent after clarifying his doubts from morning. He was just giving gentle warm stares to her which sometime seems like chuckling internally.

'What exactly his mind is brewing now?' Lifen thought in her head.

She was a little amazed by his behavior but she shrugged it off thinking it's better he leaves first, before her grandfather comes back.

"So I am leaving. See you during lunch!", he said as he turned his back to leave.

Lunch!

When did they decide this?

She was still thinking of his previous words that she didn't realized, he has already come in front of her.

Before she could realize it, his lips got over hers. The kiss wasn't passionate rather was very soft and lingering.

It was gone before it can get completed as something hard striking the floor distracted the couple in love.

Swoosh!!!!

And the glass half filled with water was on the floor leaving Erica in a dreadful shock.

Did she just encountered her boss kissing a man?

A man who has got such handsome looks?

When did she got herself a man? Is the man her boyfriend?

She was shocked and terrified at the same time, not knowing how to react at this situation. She hurriedly bent down to clear the mess she has made while stammering her words, "B-Boss, sorry! I-I didn't meant...meant to. I will leave you two..."

She was got so dumbfounded that she haven't realized that she was going to prick herself with sharp glass shard pieces if touched with bare hands.

Seeing her panicked condition, Lifen felt too embarrassed. She glared at the man who was responsible for her embarrassment but she couldn't find even a silver line of embarrassment on him.

In place of embarrassment there was a devilish smirk playing on his lips as if he has achieved the thing he has aimed for. She wanted to wash off that expression from his face. It was clearly teasing her.

She quickly averted her gaze back to Erica who has bent down to pick the scattered glass pieces from the floor, "Be careful, girl! You might prick your hands. Don't be careless".

Saying this Lifen walked to her in order to help her.

Since she has never been in the environment of using servants, summoning them for help didn't struck her head. She herself went to help Erica.

She was about to pick one when a strong hand stopped her, enveloping hers into his.

"Silly! Like this you are going to cause several deaths", he said looking deep into her eyes.

Their eyes got fixed for few seconds. She was truly touched with his such a simple action of care.

But why his words seemed a little odd? He said that her actions will cause several deaths. What does that mean?

Confused with his words she quickly asked, "Several deaths?"

"Ofcourse! you sometimes becomes so much clumsy that you can hurt yourself. Then what do you think your overprotective grandfather will do? He will simply come after me to hang me till death!", he said justifying his earlier words with a poker face.

Lifen squinted her eyes on him, "Hey....don't you dare disrespect my grandfather. It's your fault to make him angry".

Deming let out a chuckle, "How could I dare such thing? It's just I can't declare my true feelings to you all the time. It might bore you so I said it that way. Now move I will help you"

Hearing his words Lifen instantly forgot about his previous sarcasm and a warm contented smile crept over her lips.

Erica at the side was speechless. Did they completely forget that she was also present there?

Why are they serving such a good quality of dog food to her?

How sinful?

She coughed a little to make them realize her presence bringing Lifen out of her trance. But in process, Lifen's arms gently pushed Deming making his bare palms fall on the broken shards of glass.

"Ahh sorry!!", she panicked realizing her mistake, but it was already late.

He shook his head and quickly retracted his hand but the blood instantly oozed out.

"It's okay! I am fine, they are just small little scratches. Don't worry, it's nothing", He said when noticed the guilt in her eyes.

Erica too didn't expected this. "Boss, I am sorry. It's because of me. If I haven't dropped it earlier, it wouldn't have happened", she said apologetically.

Lifen didn't responded to her apologies, instead said, "It's not your fault. Just go and grab the first aid box first".

Saying this she stood up and lead Deming back towards towards the sofa. There were tears in her eyes which were not getting noticed since she has lowered her head.

"I am fine, Little Cat. It's just some scratches. I don't feel any pain", he assured her again as felt her trembling hands.

The wound wasn't deep. But scratches made it look like the cut ran deep. And continuous oozing blood made it more horrific.

Erica came out with a first aid box along with a maid carrying a bowl of clean cold water with clean towel.

Lifen ignored Deming's words as she cleaned his wound with water and then meticulously bandaged it putting some healing ointment on it.

Only then she felt relief. She asked again lifting her head up, "Does it still hurt?".

The small drops of glistening crystal tears on her eyelashes which didn't went noticed before came to Deming's relization now.

He shook his head, "Not at all! It wasn't that bad actually. This small wound brought back a cute memory of my cute lost little rabbit".

He paused as he looked at her face and then continued, "I met her only once and then I lost her. But I guess I found her again today. This wound wasn't bad, I really liked it actually".

Erica was dumbfounded when she heard these terms.

Cute Lost Rabbit?

Are they discussing about their pets now?

But Lifen understood his words. After hearing his words, she too remembered their first meeting in the college when her nail scratched him unknowingly.

A smile crept on her lips but suddenly a cold aged voice came from the front entrance, "What brought you here?"
