“Your Highness, we just received news that Dimas has left on a helicopter.”Mauricius looked at him and remarked, “So be it. What’s so strange about that? He learned how to steer a helicopter when he was slightly over the age of ten.”“He… he’s on the helicopter in pursuit of the fleet of cars!”“What?!” Mauricius exclaimed.Jenell was startled by the news too. “He promised to preserve my dignity. There he goes breaking the rules again! That kid!”Just then, another bodyguard rushed in.“Your Highness, Dimas has returned by helicopter.”His words made Mauricius and Jenell feel instantly relieved.But the next second, the bodyguard went on, “Ms. Kenwood fell sick on the way here, and it appears to have something to do with Dimas.”These words sent both Mauricius and Jenell into shock! What exactly was going on? But before the both of them could wrap their minds around the situation, yet another bodyguard rushed in with news!This time, Jenell almost fainted from his words!
“Ms. Marsh, according to the rules, you cannot leave your room.”Two female servants stood outside her room and blocked Harmonia’s way upon seeing her.“I’m not heading out. Give me a pen and paper.”The two servants exchanged glances but remained standing there, unmoving.Harmonia said blandly, “What? Can’t I even have a pen and paper?”“You two know very clearly who wanted me here for the training.”“Don’t think that you’re safe just because you took my phone. Don’t forget: Jasper and Nancy are still here. Walls have ears.”With that, Harmonia raised the folder that the person in charge had given her.“Aside from the rules specified in here, what you two should be doing during these three months is to fulfill all my requests.”The two servants were speechless at Harmonia’s words and had no choice but to hand a pen and paper to her.Harmonia wrote down a ton of stuff.“Deliver all these things to me within 15 minutes.”One of the two servants took the paper over and was co
The corner of Harmonia’s lips lifted. She remained calm and planned out the shortest route possible.Instead of taking the main paths, she took all the smaller paths.Her superhuman memory allowed her to traverse freely across the smaller paths.At 5.03 am, just when everyone thought that Harmonia wouldn't be able to report on time, she walked over leisurely.Everyone was shocked and speechless!Hadn’t she been tricked into heading to the dining hall? Strangers to Snow Manor would take at least 40 minutes of wandering around to find the glass house.Yet she… took only 23 minutes to find it!Harmonia stepped into the glass house under everyone’s watchful gazes at 5.04 am.Still, she was not in a rush to clock in. Instead, she looked at the time on the clock-in machine…She remained still even at the 50th second…Finally, at the 59th second, she punched her card!The person in charge didn’t look too pleased, clearly angered by Harmonia.Yes, she had done it on purpose!She s
How bold of her! To compare them with a dog?!The looks on the female servants and Sandy’s faces were comical, to say the least!-At 6 am, the flower arrangement class began.Nara was still under the weather and was in no state to join the training. That meant that the class would be held on a one-on-one basis.The first thing they had to do was to cut and prepare their flowers.After that was done, it marked the beginning of Flower Sandy’s personal show time.She put on a show of explaining through her demonstrations, but her explanations were vague, and her demonstrations went by in a flash.“I explained myself so thoroughly, I’m sure you know what to do now, right?”Sandy stepped back and folded her arms, waiting to see Harmonia make a laughingstock of herself.Harmonia knew full well what Sandy was trying to do and went ahead to stick her flowers in a haphazard mess.Sandy was about to find an excuse to criticize and scold Harmonia who beat her to it by asking, “Flower
She wanted to tell Helena that she had studied ballet when she was young and received the highest level of certification when she was 18 years old.However, what Helena said next raised suspicions in Harmonia’s mind.“You should practice as much as you can while Nara can’t join the lessons.”“I know Nara’s dance standards, and it’ll be tough for you to surpass her. We’ll practice more tonight.”“Repeat those moves I just taught you a hundred times.”Those moves she had just taught her were clearly entry-level movements. Even if it was for the sake of establishing a strong foundation, there was no need for her to repeat them a hundred times.If she were to go along with Helena’s approach, how could she possibly learn six dances within three months?She was… very suspicious indeed.Harmonia didn’t say anything about it, much less show that she knew ballet. Instead, she deliberately moved in a slow and witless manner, as if she had no idea what she was doing.The entire afternoon
Harmonia was stunned to see Dimas and immediately released the blade in her hands.He took the blade away and stretched his arm out, far away from her, as if worried that he might hurt her.Before Harmonia could ask him how he came, his voice came first, sounding deep and low, “Come and give me a hug.”She threw herself into his arms without a second thought.Before she knew it, he hauled her up, and the sudden force made her grab his shoulders in fright.“Dimi!”Her voice was raspy with sleep, and she spoke so tenderly that it made Dimas’ heart race.But the next moment, she hurriedly covered her mouth out of fear that the people outside might hear the commotion.With the two servants standing guard outside, they couldn’t make too much noise and alert them, thereby risking having her little puppy exposed. Just as she was pondering what to do, a warm hand grabbed her slender waist.She jumped in fright, and before she could shriek, his mouth covered hers in a kiss…It was a
“I can’t get used to it,” he said solemnly.Harmonia blinked. “Huh?”“My heart aches.”It was precisely because of his heartache that he ignored the so-called rules and appeared before her.Those rules might have been able to restrain that heartless Dimas of the past.But now that he had had his heart restored, the rules meant nothing to him.He could even lose his life for her, not to mention break a couple of rules.Harmonia’s ears blushed red, but she leaned in with feigned calmness and said softly, “I didn’t expect you to like me so much, my little puppy.”“Hmm... since you’re doing so well, I can spare you more time…”With that, Harmonia gently prodded his shoulder.Dimas raised his hand and grabbed hers before placing it on his waist. He leaned forward and pressed her onto the couch!“Spare me more time for what?” His voice turned hoarse as it resounded in her ear.Her brain turned into mush, and her ears started to buzz. She instinctively said without much thought, “
No! Please don’t!I’m not worthy of you to help me prop the lamp back up!Leave, quick!“Prop it up for what? It’s tiring enough for us to have to watch her, and now we still have to prop her lamp up? Who does she think she is?”The two female servants remarked as they stepped out of the room.The door was shut once more.Harmonia listened to their footsteps and confirmed that they were seated back down before heaving a sigh of relief.“Dimas Martinez!” She threw the sheets open and scolded him in a huff.“Yes?” His arms were still wrapped around her with no intention whatsoever of letting go.“You… just now…”“I was hugging my girlfriend.”He looked unperturbed back at her, the corner of his lips lifted in a half-smirk.He especially emphasized those two words ‘my girlfriend’.Harmonia said in a voice choked with frustration, “It would have been fine any other time, but you had to hug me at such a critical moment just now… what if they found you?!”What if they found him
