For a moment, Kinsley was lost in his thoughts and only then realized that Alesya was still waiting for his decision.
"So what, Sir? I don't get fired?" Asked Alesya hopefully.Kinsley feels frustrated to face a chatty and acting woman like Alesya. He massaged his forehead and said. "Hn. I'll give you one chance. This afternoon you start working at the Mansion. Someone will pick you up after office hours are over. You can leave now!" Kinsley waved his hand as if he was rudely shooing away.A smile appeared on Alesya's lips. A little hope came; she didn't get fired. Alesya said enthusiastically, "Thank you for giving me the opportunity, Sir. Then I'll excuse myself." Alesya turned around and left the room.A few moments after Alesya came out, Kinsley called Allard, who was known to be waiting at the door. "Allard!" Call Kinsley.From outside, Allard came in and stood at the table waiting for orders. "What did you call me, sir?""Allard, order someone to pick up Alesya after office hours and take her to the Mansion. Sooner or later, I will be able to beat her. I want to see how stubborn she can get away from me.""Yes, Sir, according to your orders. But I still hope that you will one day be able to give up my sister's death and move on." Allard's words sounded sincere and pure; he who had accompanied Kinsley all this time understood the burden of the heart that Kinsley always carried.Nothing was more tiring and painful than bearing a grudge against the death of a loved one.Kinsley leaned back and sighed. "Allard, you won't understand how my heart breaks when I see the person I love die in such a tragic way right in front of my eyes without being able to do anything. Sitting on the Throne and the ritual of the full moon of blood is only one of the plans to welcome Abigail's arrival."It's hard to advise a stubborn man like Kinsley. Allard could only watch without being able to prevent it. "That's your choice, sir. I'm just expressing my opinion. I'm sorry." Allard left the room.The study that Kinsley was in was silent again. Even though Even must take care of many files, his mind is not focused on work. "Abigail, you wouldn't blame my selfishness on you?"***Upon returning from the Director's room, Alesya looked irritated and annoyed. She was smiling because she didn't get fired. But considering that she was made a joke, Alesya felt that Kinsley was playing her.Bianca's sullen face was evident in her eyes; she was curious and asked, "Alesya, what did the Director say to you? Were you fired?"Alesya sat back down at her desk and turned to Bianca. "I didn't know our Director was so annoying and weird. Come to think of it, and I didn't get fired as long as I wanted to be a servant at his house. Didn't he do that on purpose to get revenge on me!"Unlike Alesya, Bianca just stared, surprised to hear what Alesya said. "Are you serious? Can you be made a servant at his house? But, if you think about it, being a servant in his house, I think I want to too. Which woman doesn't want to live in the Director's house, which people say is the most expensive Mansion with historical value and the architect? Alesya, you are fortunate.""Huh. Bie, don't talk carelessly. How good is it to be a male servant like Mr. Director? It's bad luck! Never mind, don't talk about this anymore. My mood is getting worse, you know!"Bzzt… Bzzt…Bianca's cell phone, which happened to be placed on the table, vibrated. She saw an incoming call from Steven."Alesya, brother Steven called. It seems he wants to talk to you," she handed the cell phone to Alesya but was refused."Yeah, just pick it up, Bie." Bianca picked up the phone from Steven."Bie, is Alesya beside you? I want to talk to her.""Ah yes, wait, brother." Bianca gave her cell phone to Alesya because it was Steven's request, so Alesya had to accept it."Stev, what are you calling me? It's still working hours. If anyone saw it, they would call me an incompetent employee.""Sorry. I just wanted to ask, why is your cell phone off? I called you earlier to invite you to meet my parents this afternoon. We have been in a relationship for more than one year, and I want to introduce you to them."Alesya fell silent and remembered that someone would pick her up this afternoon and take her to Kinsley's house.Alesya immediately regretted something and was confused about how to tell Steven."Stev, I'm happy you want me to meet your parents. But I'm sorry, this afternoon I can't come with you. I have important things to do and can't postpone."Alesha glanced at Bianca to see her reaction when she refused her sister's invitation, and Bianca seemed silent. Alesha knew that this was bound to happen."Alesha, are you in trouble? Why do you look worried? If you have work that cannot postpone, we cancel to meet my parents this afternoon. Honey, when you have time, you let me know. We will go together to meet our parents."Alesha's heart is erratic, and Steven's kindness makes her feel burdened. "Thank you for understanding, Steve. I have to get on with work, see you. Love you, Steve.""Love you to Alesha."Call disconnected. Alesha put her phone back on the table.Bianca, who had been watching Alesya's conversation, smiled mischievously. "Hm, will propose you, brother steven. My brother moves fast, and I'm terrified of losing. Hihi..." Bianca chuckled, holding back laughter.Getting ridiculed by Bianca made Alesha feel a little relieved. At least she knew Bianca was fine and didn't mind her attitude earlier.Alesha is grateful that Bianca and Steven want to understand her situation. But still, her heart swelled when she remembered that she didn't meet Steven's parents. Alesha leaned her head on the table and looked to the side with a puzzled look."Can you shut up, Bie? I'm lamenting my misfortune for failing to meet your parents. Even though Steven was willing to take the time, why was there a barrier to the meeting? God is so unfair! All this because of that annoying Director! What's more, I must go to his house this afternoon, or I'll be fired. Argh! I hate him!"Alesha grumbled with a lifeless body, not in spirit, even though many documents were waiting to be done.Bianca is concerned about their relationship and can't do anything either.Even though Bianca suggested that Alesha resign from her job, she definitely wouldn't want to.Alesha is used to being independent without depending on her family or the people around her.Bianca patted Alesha's back, "Alesha, I'm just remindin
For a long time, Kinsley lamented the loss of his lover—Abigail Russell, who had committed suicide due to the heinous nature of the Future King at that time. Losing Abigail made a change in Kinsley's life. Kinsley Rodriguez de Castillo, a handsome man with a million charms, tall stature, black hair, and a firm jaw, has the status of Duke in the Kingdom of Willesden. At first, he wanted to close his eyes and ignore the previous King's will that asked him to take over the throne. However, after the death of Abigail, Kinsley did not think twice about accepting the will. Instead, take over the throne by eliminating those who have dared to corner Abigail to make her take the path of death. After taking over the Throne, Kinsley resolutely ruled the Kingdom of Willesden like a tyrant. He has zero tolerance for subordinates who dare to deviate from his policies. This made the Kingdom more orderly and reduced corruption by the nobles by half. Not only that, Kinsley, who is a pure-blood va
Kinsley was the type of guy who didn't like wasting time. As much as possible, he always acts quickly and precisely. Without saying much, he stepped on the gas and drove his car without a driver leaving the mansion area to his office. Today is Monday when heavy traffic and even traffic jams are not uncommon. Nothing happened at first, and Kinsley drove at a moderate speed so as not to make things worse on the road. However, just as the road started to loosen up, a car from behind rushed past and hit the front bumper of his car. To avoid a series of accidents, Kinsley quickly swerved to the left and braked the car suddenly. The squeaky sound of friction between car tires and the asphalt of the road was loud. Luckily, Kinsley could avoid hitting the road divider in time until his current situation was delicate. The front car that hit the bumper had stopped. A young, beautiful woman in a blood-red dress got out of the vehicle and approached Kinsley. Knock. Knock. Knock. The woman, w
Kinsley sighed. He was reluctant to carry out the morning greeting tradition that the Willesden Kingdom's subordinates did to those who served as King when he was not in the Kingdom. Because he thought it was too conspicuous if someone else saw it. "Stand up, Allard. Didn't I tell you that you don't have to give your morning greetings when you're outside the Kingdom? So next time, you won't have to." Allard stood up, "Yes, Your Majesty. I understand, but that is Royal etiquette that must uphold." "You are too strict with the rules, Allard. And it's troublesome if anyone sees it by accident. But what made you wait so long in front of my study?" Not wanting to prolong the unimportant discussion, Kinsley immediately asked Allard why he had asked him to come to the office early. "Your Majesty, I just received word from Roland that the Kingdom's current state is faltering. Many Nobles who oppose your leadership are starting to make moves openly, especially the Valliant Family." Allard
According to a predetermined schedule, Kinsley will go to the meeting place, which will hold Willesden Royal Palace Hall. He walked lightly, followed by Allard and Roland, into the large hall quite far from the private room he had previously occupied. Arriving at the hall door, the two doorkeepers bowed and saluted. The two informed that the King was about to enter the hall. "Attention, please. Majesty King Kinsley Rodriguez de Castillo enters the assembly hall!" The doorman's loud exclamation echoed around the hall. At the same time as the notification, the vast, towering entrance opened. With an oppressive aura, Kinsley walked down the red carpet, followed by Allard and Roland, towards the stop at the end of the rug. With every step Kinsley took, many pairs of eyes looked at him with various expressions, and most of them held a grudge against him but did not dare to say anything. Climbing the stairs step by step, Kinsley arrived at the throne of leadership occupied only by the
Kinsley thought about his past time with Abigail until he ignored what was happening. Roland saw Kinsley was not paying attention and instead remained silent with a blank look and called several times with different calls. "Your Highness Kinsley! Sir! Abigail!" The call sounded loud but didn't wake Kinsley from reverie until Roland mentioned Abigail's name. Kinsley startles and turns to look at him. "Sorry. Can you repeat the conversation?" Kinsley spoke without guilt. Roland, who incidentally was a man with a wild and impatient temperament, looked at Kinsley with a frown. The imaginary crossroads made it clear that he was holding back his emotions. Roland gave a devilish smile and said, "Your Majesty, I know you are thinking about something else. But can you do it after we are done with the discussion?" Kinsley rolled his eyes in response to Roland's sometimes exaggerated attitude. Just daydreaming for a moment had made the man who served as Prime Minister angry. Roland's ange
After Kinsley met Abigail, he immediately returned to the Mansion where he lived in the Lunar State Capital of Broughton, leaving Allard still at the Palace to return himself later.A day has passed. This morning the activity went on as usual. Since Kinsley had woken up, he had been preparing to return to the office.Before leaving, Aunt Margaret had already prepared breakfast. However, before he could eat his breakfast, Allard made a phone call making Kinsley go to his breakfast and hurry to the office.In front of the main door of the Mansion, a black Ducati Sharon sports car was parked, waiting for his master to arrive. Kinsley, bag in his left hand and car keys in his right, opened the door and entered. As usual, Kinsley drove himself, started the engine and pressed the gas pedal, and moved out of the Mansion at top speed.When the car arrived in front of the office, not far from where he was, Kinsley saw a woman named Alesya getting out of someone's car. Seen the woman smiled
Bianca was as surprised as Alesya. Nor did she know that the person her friend was referring to was Kinsley—the CEO of this company.Bianca's eyes widened, and she patted Alesya's shoulder excitedly. "Gosh, Alesya! How do I know that person you mean? You just said that he was an arrogant man without saying what his name was.""I wonder, haven't you worked here for a month? But until now, you just found out who your boss is, and what's worse, you argued with him in the office. I congratulate you for breaking the employee record for fighting with your boss. Now your fate is really on the line." Bianca spoke dramatically. She raised her hands, making Alesya even more annoyed and worried."Are you a friend or not? How dare you say that when I'm in danger of being fired? What should I do now?"Bianca made a thoughtful gesture with her finger rubbing her chin. She tilted his head to the side as she spoke. "You'd better apologize. Who knows the Director who is rarely seen and only leaves
