Isabella stood up from her place immediately catching everyone's attention including him. She wiped her tears from the back of her hand sniffing and sobbing a little. Everyone turned confused in the dinning hall that what happened to her suddenly?
"What happened Issy?" Iris asked in concern looking at her but she shook her head in no and didn't said anything.
Violet took couple of steps towards Isabella but before she can reach to her Isabella strode away from there. Making everyone more confused. Iris and Violet gave worried glance to each other. Nicholas was also looking at her with his keen gaze but didn't chose to comment on it.
Isabella straightly went to the kitchen wiping her tears roughly. She was angry on herself that why she even did that? How she can hurt someone intentionally? She was not like this before is she going insane living here?
She reached to the kitchen and went to the same cabinet in which first aid box was kept. She remembered the day when he took out the first aid box from the certain cabinet. She was not reaching there because of her height so she climbed up on the counter and opened the cabinet taking out the first aid box.
Isabella climbed down and held the first aid box in her hand and went to the fridge taking out a ice pack, she started walking back to the dinning hall. She was feeling so guilty and said for the following incident happened just few minutes ago. It shouldn't be happened.
Everyone saw Isabella entering back in the dinning hall with a first aid box and a ice pack in her hands. No one tried to ask her anything knowing she is not in the state of answering right now, so they keep looking at her that what is wants to do and he was also looking at her.
Isabella straightly walked towards him and stopped in front of him. He raised his brow at her amusingly waiting for her next action. What did want now? Did she want to hurt him without scissors and gauge now? That's the only thought came in his mind. She extended her palm infront of him. He cheeks were red because of wiping tears roughly.
"What?" he asked her snapping at her.
But she didn't answered and took his burnt reddened rough hand in her soft ones. He didn't protested or even try to snatch his hand back. He was silently watching her. Violet tried to stop her by coming close to her but he showed his palm to her halting her at her place immediately.
Isabella took the ice pack while sniffing and put it on his reddened hand. Nicholas clenched his jaw feeling a sudden sensation in his hand but because of ice but immediately masked it with his blank look.
"I-I'm sorry." Isabella apologized to him stuttering out. She was sobbing at this point now while holding the ice pack on his hand.
Nicholas watched her amusingly is she girl bipolar or insane? Firstly she hurted him and now apologizing to him while treating him. He didn't decided to comment anything and was enjoying her apologizing to him.
She moved his gaze to him when he didn't reply anything in exchange of her apology. She waited impatiently for him to say anything or forgive her but he didn't said anything. He face fell in sadness and guilt.
"Did you forgive me?" she finally asked him watching curiously not able to take the pressure of guilt on her head.
"Why should I?" he finally uttered but cockily enjoying her suffering from guilt of hurting him.
"Because I'm sorry please forgive me." she again apologized innocently to the man but she didn't knew from whom she is asking forgiveness is the man who kill human mercilessly and don't even feel any remorse.
Nicholas saw her impatiently waiting for his forgiveness to her and he was not going to let this moment pass this easily, he smirked internally thinking of an idea to trouble her.
"On one condition." he said coldly like he is doing a huge favour on her by forgiving her.
Isabella's face brightened in happiness that he will finally forgive her. "Yes, what's it?" she asked him curiously not knowing about his evil idea.
"Feed me." he announced making her eyes widened and everyone was also looking at him like the saw a ghost.
"What?" Isabella asked him to confirm that she heard right and her ears are not ringing.
"Yes, feed me. You did the honour to burn my hand now I'm not able to eat on my own. So help me and get my forgiveness." he said with cockily attitude as per his nature. But he showed he is just doing it to forgive her but inside he was enjoying every moment of it. After all her little stunt opened a way for him to trouble her more and now he started enjoying it.
Isabella frowned at his reckless demand is he a child so she would feel him. He is not that hurt that he can't eat on his own now. Isabella understood he is again doing it intentionally to trouble her but she decided to complete his demand anyways because it was her fault to hurt him. But that naive little girl didn't knew that he was the one who let him hurt her. Because of his sharp skills and keen gaze he always predict what can be the next move is the person in front of him. He knew it she will surely do something childish but didn't stopped her because he wanted to see what can she do to trouble him.
Isabella silently held to fork in her hand making hia lip tugged upwards. So finally the little temptress decided to complete his demand. She twirled the spaghetti in the fork and took it near to mouth. He gazed at her and took the fork in his mouth and started chewing the spaghetti slowly from his actual pace.
He was intentionally chewing the food slowly and enjoying her standing in front of him to finish his eating as soon as possible. Everyone noticed his behaviour but decided to mind their own business because no matter what he is their boss and thru don't have any right to question him because of course everyone loves their life.
After taking a lot more time than usual he finished his food and then she hastily opened the first aid kit taking out a cooling antiseptic ointment applied on his hand slowly. At all this time his gaze was on her soft features how she was frowning while glancing at his hand and blowing it time to time. Her hair tendrils came down here eyes interrupting her she shook her head to move them from her eyes but it didn't worked.
His hands itched to tug them behind his ear but stopped himself thinking again on his intrusive thoughts. What the fuck is he even thinking? He turned his gaze away from her pushing away his irrational thoughts.
After doing her work Isabella gave the first aid box and ice pack to the maid standing there asking her to keep it back at its place the maid smiled at her and walked away with the stuff.
Isabella immediately sat back on her place and started shoving her food down her throat hastily. She was very hungry at this time and didn't mind if anyone watching her eating like this or thinking about her ill manners. She picked out all the vegetables from her plate and put them in the tissue as always but this time she discarded the meat pieces also.
"Issa slowly." Violet warned her if she will continue eating like this she will surely chock on her food.
Isabella nodded her head while her mouth was full with the food and she chocked on it and started coughing. Violet walked towards her intending to give her a glass of water but before she could Nicholas extended the same glass towards her from which he was sipping water while watching her.
Isabella took the glass and chugged down the water down her throat and wiped her lips from the back of her hand. When he saw he drinking from the same glass he drank a little while ago he felt an odd satisfaction watching her but he will not said it aloud as per his nature.
