Eric let out a sigh that he lost count on how many times now.
He didn't know why Evangeline kept appearing in the restaurant where he works since the time that she knew he works there.
Ever since that day with the handkerchief, the aloof woman was coming and having her lunch. Staying until dinner while specifically requesting him, and only him, to serve her.
Even so, he never once dared think that Evangeline have feelings for him for the reason that he knew better.
The woman just wanted him to submit to her.
He could feel it in his bones.
"Hello Eric, how are you fairing?" Evangeline gave her practice perfect smile that didn't fail every time she showed it on males –– until Eric showed up that is.
In truth, she herself didn't know why she was so obsessed with the idea of Eric submitting to her. The more the guy brush her off, the more challenge she felt.
Usually, if a guy was playing hard to get, she wouldn't bat an eyelid and resume her everyday life. She was never in a shortage of loyal servants anyway.
But now . . . She shook the thoughts out of her head. She dismissed her actions as nothing but a game. An entertainment and amusement in her boring life.
Must be his eyes. She thought. I want his silver eyes for myself.
Must be it.
"I'm fine, Miss Heart." Like always, Eric answered straight to the point and as short as possible without any emotion on his face.
Evangeline's smile didn't falter.
Hmp! I promise you, at the end of the day, you'll be calling me 'My Queen' like everyone else.
"The usual, Eric." Evangeline crossed her legs and held her chin. "Are you free after your shift?"
Eric was taken aback, and for a moment, he forgot to answer.
For days, Evangeline dined until the restaurant closed, but she never did once ask if he was free or not.
And the reason for that, whether Evangeline admitted it or not, she was running out of patience. Two more days and the one-week holiday would end. She must make Eric submit to her before class starts! Her stress-free school life depended on it!
"I have another work after my shift here," Eric answered honestly.
Evangeline poured herself some tea and took a sip before she asked, "How much is your night?"
Stunned, Eric was taken aback.
"Excuse me?"
Evangeline put down her cup and calmly expounded.
"I'll be honest with you. No more games." She sat straight and interlaced her fingers on the table. "I want you to serve me in school. Like doing my assignments, projects and all that."
