Chapter 271 - [Bonus Chapter]

"Me! Why would I ask anyone to give you company when I want all of you for myself!?"

"........" 'you are thinking too much Evan! He must be talking about work! Leo had never given off to his aid even for a minute! He must be talking about it! Do not think too much! Do not think too much!' hooligan! Did not even know what kind of words to be used! 

"Yes! Yes! I know. We shall start working now." she ran with the speed of lightning from there before leo could say further.

"......." how many times was she going to ignore my proposal! 

Leo did not know she was so brazen or so foolish to not understand his words? He pinched the space between his eyes to control his frustration and followed her on the work desk,

"I have seen the file you have given me and made pointers for you. I have also made a list of suggestions." Evan passed her the parchments and then raised her head and confidently looked into his eyes! She was beaming and smiling from ears to ears, sure that he would be surprised that he had done so much in such a short amount of time.

Leo scanned the file she had passed and once again her eyes filled with surprise. The report was more detailed than the previous time as if it was made by a professional and he knew that she had given it such a small amount of time.

"So! How is it!" like a kid that can not wait to be praised, she asked him eagerly and he finally raised his head and looked at her. She was like a pandora box that never seemed to have a chance to shock him.

"It is more perfect than I could ever think! You have done a great job!" her eyes filled with delight as she looked at his smiling figure.

"Hmm, I will finish all the work on time with such efficiency that you would only like to appoint me for later." chuckling to herself she passed the files he was working on before and then opened hers and started working on it.

Leo looked at the files in his hand and then raised his head. For the first time in his life, he was feeling distracted. How could he look at the boring files when she was sitting without self awareness in front of him.

She would frown when she would find a mistake in the file, then her eyes would shine like a fox when she would find the solution and then beam like a kid when she would note everything down. She had so many emotions and expressions that he realized why she called him an ice prince.

His gaze moved to the mirror where he checked his face. Though he was not angry, his face was looking like everyone owes him gold!

This only increased the frown on his face that made him look scarier. No! This could not be! He stared at her intensely and tried to mimic the expressions she was making!

He stretched his lips further to copy the smile she had, but in a few seconds, it felt like his jaws were paining. How could she smile like that all the time!

"Evan!"

Evan, who was lost in the work, flinched listening to his cold voice and raised her head only to see his dark face. She even forgot to ask him how he had called her so intimately that only family and close friends do!

'What happened this time?' Now she understood why Arden looked so tired after working with him.

"Yes!" there was a professional look on her face to avoid the conflict.

"You know even cold people are good! Their domineering aura looks regal!" he clarified as this was what he had always heard about himself.

She continued to look at him waiting to complete his words but once done he just stared at her as if waiting for her to add her suggestions to it.

"Hmmm, yes! So…" what was even the pretext of telling her that! 

"So! You should not be biased towards cold and sunny people!" he demanded in a domineering tone that she looked at him once again confused.

"My lord! You are a great man that a commoner like me could not understand what you are talking about!" a look of defeat filled her eyes as she tried to make head and tail of the words he had used.

On the other hand, Leo did not know how to explain it to her further. He had already done his best effort in telling her that he was a good person too.

"I mean! I am a good person instead of being Cold!'' This time his tone was a bit lower but it only sounded more domineering.

"........" what was he trying to say! Was he expecting flattery? Could it be that it is also the responsibility of the aide to boost the confidence of his master? 

She had seen many lower nobles flattering the higher nobles but never thought Leo was one of them but it was fine! Since he had saved her, she would not be miser with the praises.

With that thought, a flattering look filled her face.

"Oh yes! Of course, you are a good man. In fact, you were so cool when you found the culprit in a minute and fired her domineeringly! 

I was mesmerized for a second. You were like a knight in shining armor when you came and saved me at the last minute too!" she added with a nod of her head as her eyes turned starry and he finally beamed. 

Satisfied with her choice of words, he suddenly felt that his confidence had boosted. He did not feel so better when anyone had ever praised him in the past!

'Could it be the best time to propose her?'
