Failed To Abandon The Villain

41

As soon as Valletta entered the room, the smell of freshly brewed black tea stimulated her sense of smell.

She looked at the man sitting in a dark mahogany colored desk while holding a pen.

‘No one’s here.’

She smelled the scent of black tea, so she assumed the Head of the servants or a servant would be there.

There was no one else besides Carlon Delphine was inside the dreary office filled with documents and books.

Valletta took a step inward.

“The sun seemed to have risen from the west today, since you looked for me first. Looks like you have something to say, how about a cup of tea?”

“I’d like that.”

Carlon Delphine suggested for them to sit at the tea table near the office’s window.

He went into the tea making room and brought out a tea, teacups, and light refreshments, then sat across from her.

After seeing the man wearing a tidy outfit, carefully pouring the tea with his hand, Valletta turned her head towards the window.

It was extremely peaceful.

‘Now that I think about it, that hateful guy didn’t come again.’

He would be busy with things here and there, so he can’t just focus on her.

It was a fortunate event. But at the same time, it was a little awkward.

How long has it been since they’ve been apart like this?

“It’s a long overdue tea time.”

“You can speak comfortably.”

Carlon Delphine raised his eyebrow in doubt.

“When the Delight family disappeared, my title of being the Count Young Lady was now just nominal. You can just call me Valletta.”

“Then I shall do that.”

Carlon Delphine nodded.

“Does it not suit your taste?”

“No, it’s delicious.”

Valletta raised the teacup and took a sip. A warm sensation ran down through her throat and warmed her body for a while.

She frowned slightly at the unfamiliar sensation and lifted her head.
