Chapter 95 - Ninety-Four: Coffee For Mr. Kim

"Thanks for keeping her company."

"It's the least I can do at the moment. By the way, take this with you. I'm sure it will come in handy seeing that Mark is being Mark at the moment."

Emily watched as Kaiden passed a porcelain jar to Daniel, but she had no idea exactly what was in that jar.

One thing that she had noticed was that the Supernaturals mostly used porcelain instead of plastics.

And according to what she got to know from Leo, the porcelain was usually of good quality and was not cheap at all.

She let out a deep sigh as she relaxed in her seat. She had been sitting inside the car for the past five minutes while Daniel was talking to Kaiden near the entrance of the cafe.

The sudden tapping on the car window pulled her attention away from her brother as she turned to look at Joy who was signaling her to lower the glass.

"What is it?" She asked as she lowered the glass to talk to her bodyguard.

"Miss Alessandro, your friends from the cafe has asked to give this to you." Joy said as he passed a paper bag to her.

Emily looked inside the bag and found two cups of hot coffee sitting inside it. A smile bloomed on her face as she turned her head towards the glass window of the cafe.

Just like she predicted, the Miller sisters were looking at her with smiling faces as they hurriedly waved their hands.

Emily waved back at them before she turned her attention back to her bodyguard. She pulled the two cups out of the bag as she asked, "You still have to tell me exactly how you confirm that my food is not poisoned without tasting it. So, can you tell me how did you test this coffee?" 

She actually was curious to know the answer. She had known for a long time that everything she ate outside the Alessandro Mansion was first tested by her team of bodyguards.

Leo even told her that the guards had a special technique for testing the food without eating it.

But no matter how hard she tried to find out about that special technique, no one answered her questions.

She had no idea why they kept it hidden from her, probably because they liked to torture her.

"Miss Alessandro, I'll be taking my leave." Joy hurriedly told her before he disappeared from her sight.

Emily almost rolled her eyes but succeeded in stopping herself at the very last moment. She opened the car door and after picking up the two coffee cups, she marched towards her brother.

"Here." 

She shoved the first cup into Kaiden's hands and held the second one towards Mr. Kim. The poor Secretary almost felt like thunder was about to strike him any moment as he became the target of his boss' icy cold glares.

"Ah....! Miss Alessandro...., thank you but I don't..."

Mr. Kim chose to be smart and decided to save his life by rejecting to accept the coffee cup.

However, the poor man still had to find out that Emily had become his nemesis, and no matter how much he would try to save himself, he's never gonna succeed.

"Mr. Kim, this is the first time I'm giving you something. Don't you think it's impolite to reject me like this?" Emily cut off before the man could complete his sentence.

She looked both cute and soft as she looked at the young man with round glasses while holding the coffee cup in front of his face.

"This..." 

Secretary Kim was almost on the verge of a breakdown as he could no longer decide what to do.

He could not upset the girl by brazenly rejecting her kindness again, but if he dared to accept the coffee, he was sure that he would not live to see the next morning.

Just when the man was about to pass out because of the pressure and fear, Kaiden decided to speak.

"Why don't you give the second cup to me? I will finish it for you." 

He was being polite and helpful by offering his help, right? 

But who told him that Emily needed his politeness.

"Why are you being so greedy? Don't you already have one? Stop eyeing the things that are not yours." Emily snapped at him as she passed him a quick glare before turning her attention back at the Secretary.

Mr. Kim stared at the girl with wide eyes as he praised her for her bravery in his heart.

He took a glance at his boss and almost got shocked to see him pouting with sad eyes as he retracted his empty hand.

Instead of looking dominating, powerful, and cold like usual, Young Master Sullivan appeared like a little kid whose candy got stolen.

"Mr. Kim...."

Emily called the Secretary when she realized that the man was no longer giving her attention.

"Why not give the second cup to your brother?" Kaiden hurriedly suggested.

A sigh left Emily's lips as she turned to deal with the young handsome man with silver hair.

"Because I want to give it to Mr. Kim. So, can you now stop interfering?" 

Even though her tone was soft and polite, her eyes held fire in them as she tried her very best to not snap at the overreacting man.

She was still not bold enough to test the boundaries of her confidence and sassiness when it came to someone like Kaiden or Domenic.

When Kaiden did not say anything in reply and just decided to stay quiet, she returned her attention to the handsome secretary.

Before she could open her mouth to once again ask him to accept the coffee, the man surprised her as he hurriedly took the cup from her hands and bowed his head politely in thanks. 

Emily smiled at the man before she took a quick look at Kaiden. The man was busy staring at the cup of coffee in Mr. Kim's hands.

If she had paid close attention to Secretary Kim's hands, she surely would have noticed the way they were shaking.

"Alright! Let's head back." 

She said as she linked her hands around Daniel's arm and gave her brother one of her biggest and sweetest smiles.
