Chapter 139 - [Bonus ]

"Bam"

Evan was standing there with a layer of precipitation on her face and her chest was heaving up and down when she looked straight at the office table where Leo usually sits.

Leo was lazily sitting on the sofa with his eyes closed and his legs were crossed while resting on the table nearby. 

His face that had always been alert and sharp was giving a laidback look, yet it only gave him a sensual look. 

He was mindlessly swirling the glass of wine in his hands, but she did not know if he had already drunk it or not. But she was not much concerned about it. Her main concern was the soup.

"My lord, have you already had the soup?" she asked as she dashed into the room without invitation.

"You! What are you doing here? Do you not have any manners to know that you can not enter the room without a knock. What if we have been in a more intimate position? `` The loud and sharp voice of Aurora finally took her attention away from the man who had lazily opened his eyes but except looking at her, he did not say a word even when Aurora rebuked her.

That is when Evan noticed that Aurora was standing behind Leo, his hands were messaging his shoulders while the top three buttons of his shirt were already open. 

Even when she was rebuking Evan, her hands did not move as if claiming her territory.

Evan's eyes instinctively moved towards the tray but the food was still untouched, let alone be soup. 

'So this was not the effect of the food! He was genuinely enjoying her touch and that close proximity.'

As the thought crossed her mind, her eyes trembled. She suddenly felt suffocated while standing in the room as if someone had strangled her neck tightly, she could not breathe properly.

"Leo, are you enjoying the message, shall I put more pressure?" Her words were spoken so sensually that Evan felt nauseating.

What was she even thinking when she thought that Aurora might have mixed something in his food to bring him closer to her! Men are always ready for a sensual woman like her! Since when did they need the use of Aphrodisiac?

Her eyes once again passed through the food that was still covered with a lid and not a single spoon was tasted then at the silent man who had not said a word since she had come in or reacted when Aurora had insulted her.

If only his eyes were looking annoyed as if Evan had disturbed his quality time. As Aurora had said, what if she had come when they were being more intimate! How could she be so meddlesome in his affairs? 

"I am sorry, I have misinterpreted a few things. I will leave now." she replied through gritted teeth as she turned to walk back towards the door.

Leo's eyes had darkened when Aurora had started to touch him, he wanted to push the girl right away. But he wanted to know how she had mixed the spices in the food and stole the earring from his aunt's room and planted it in Evan's room when Evan was claiming that she had not left the room even for a minute.

So, he let her come closer. And when he sniffed the drink, he knew something was mixed in it too. That was why he was only playing with it while taking a sip or two.

But he had not thought that Evan would dash into the room with the will to save him. The worry on her face was genuine, and he did not know why instead of finding her nosy, he found her actions rather sweet. Yet he did not feel nauseated by it like the purring of Aurora.

But he had to ignore her or his plan might not work. But the way she looked at him with disappointing eyes and turned to leave. Something in him was going berserk. He could not let her misunderstand him. 

A smirk formed on Aurora's face and she moved her hands closer to his chest to show her possession to the man. But Leo, who was still mad that she had so much distrust of him, was annoyed with Aurora's trying her luck farther.

He held her hand and pressed it tightly as if he would only stop when the bones would be broken. Aurora who could not bear the intensity let out a small scream when the pain turned unbearable.

Evan, who had reached the door and was about to close it again, stopped when she heard the scream and her eyes instinctively turned to look at its source.

Aurora realized that her scream had got the attention of Evan. she could not let her linger in the room for long, or else she would understand her trick.

"My lord, you should not be this manly with a frail woman like me. I am not made for rough love but gentle touch." her words were more daring but she had to take the risk or else she would lose from Evan once again.

But when her eyes met his annoyed look, she retracted her hands silently. Her face had an aggrieved look but instead of giving up she continued to massage his shoulders.

"My lord, take a few more sips and you will be more relaxed." she encouraged as only this could help her in achieving her target sooner.

Evan who was about to turn once again stilled when she heard Aurora encouraging him to drink wine. Her eyes once again moved to the glass of wine that Leo was holding in his hands.

That was right! If she could mix aphrodisiac in food. She might have mixed it in his drink too. The way her eyes were looking at Leo and the glass of wine with anticipation, why was she in such a hurry for him to drink wine?

"Wait! You can not drink wine further!"
