Cold Man And Miss Stone
60. Bad News

Samuel held a smile at how Emilia tried so hard to be patient. Maybe she was very upset, Samuel knew, but basically Emilia already said yes.

Yes to their cooperation means yes to Samuel's request. At least for Samuel.

He went into his bedroom which was actually Samuel's bedroom in this base. Emilia rested until tomorrow, and she came with food.

"My assistant is Mutia. Why should you bother me?" emilia said directly.

"Because I want to." Samuel slouch. Smacked Emilia's lips at a glance and the girl didn't care.

Not feeling that he had to shoulder because of that, Samuel pushed a small table over Emilia's thigh. Then he sat behind her, grabbing Emilia's long hair.

"Eat while I braid your hair."

Emilia clucked in annoyance. But still grab a spoon and eat.

Only silence dyed them. Samuel focused on gently combing Emilia's hair, then dividing it up to braid.

"What to do today, Emilia?"

"The main thing is to stay away from me."

Samuel pretended not to listen. "What about the flowers? Do you want to plant flowers? I had Riu create a flower garden in the Eastern part of the base. There are many kinds of flowers there."

The girl turned her head, complete with her cold eyes. "Did my rejection sound funny to you?"

"Then what should I do, Emilia?" Samuel rubbed a small trace of food on the corner of his lips. "I'm drawing your attention. Like a little dog sticking out his tongue to be noticed."

"You call yourself a dog."

"It was a pet that became a rival to cats. Or do you prefer cats?" Samuel kissed his ears. "I can be anything."

When he looked at Samuel with confidence Samuel was not sane, it was precisely the reason he laughed.

Joking is not part of Samuel's nature. But if flirting with Emilia had to go this way, she had a thousand and one words to say.

For his eyes to look at Samuel, and his mind to be distracted from that Senior Fuck.

"Finish." Samuel smoothed his two braids onto each of Emilia's shoulders. "Hmmm, look at this. Pretty girl with a pretty hair."

"Just shut the f*ck up."

Samuel jerks. Although soon after he smiled. "I was too naive at the time."

"I should have known where maybe the village girl could stare at others that easily. It was no ordinary village girl."

His English accent is fluent. He's used to it. Given how Emilia used to be silent as the gossip of the villagers, going to wash by the river and whatever it was, Samuel felt strange.

"Emilia, once this is over, let's go abroad."

"Go it yourself."

"I'm serious." Samuel shifted his seat to make it easier to look at Emilia's face. "Let's go where you can relax. Why go back to the village again?"

Emilia glanced at him, then looked straight at the food in the bowl Samuel gave her.

Maybe Samuel doesn't know what it's like. Or he doesn't care.

The village was where Emilia was born. It's big there. It's been a long time there. It is not that easy he can forget his place, go to another country as he said.

"Stop your bullshit." Emilia put the food away. "Call Darto and Mutia."

"Emilia—"

"I'll kill you if you kiss me again unless you obey me."

Samuel immediately moved. "You have to pay it back."

"Samuel."

Emilia tried hard not to throw a real poisoned needle. Fortunately Samuel understood enough to call the man that Emilia needed.

But ....

"I called Mutia and Darto. Not your men."

Samuel's expression was not good. And Emilia was not stupid to recognize that.

There's bad news.

"What's wrong? Where are Mutia and Darto?"

Ryo lowered his head. "They're dead, Young Miss."
