"Oh...I have never taken care of someone so I don't know what I should do."
What did he just say?!
Take care of someone?
Does he want to take care of me?
I want to pinch myself because maybe my mind is playing tricks on me.
I don't know how to react !
Embarrassing...
"Are you alright? Did the fever make you tired?"he said and twisted his eyebrows.
Is he worried?
I tried my best to stay calm and answer him.
"It is alright Endymion."I said and smiled.
He smiled at me gently.
I gasped and couldn't help but admire his gorgeous smile.
He expended his hand and patted my head.
"You act like a young child."
He let go of my hair.
I am stunned.
"Umm... Since you want to take care of me then... A cup of water would be refreshing! I already took my medicine. No worries!"I said happily.
He nodded with a gentle expression and went to get me a cup of water.
"What just happened..."I mumbled.
Ahhhh!!!
I quickly covered myself with the sheets.
Endymion touched my head for a second time!~
I don't know but I am happy and embarrassed at the same time.
Can I at least allow myself to be happy by this employee- master relationship if not one sided love?
...
"Hm? Did she fall asleep?"said Endymion when he came back with the cup.
No! I am not asleep! Just confused and embarrassed... He can't see me because I am under the cover . I am being motionless.
I could hear my heart beating so fast while he was placing the cup on the table next to my bed.
"Good night."he said and left the room.
...
I slept so well yesterday!
I start to feel guilty because I faked my sickness~
But do I regret it?
Hell no!
"Yay! So happy and energetic today!"I jumped from my bed and quickly got dressed in my maid costume.
Time to meet Alex and Lilly!
I should thank them for covering for me!
I quickly went to the kitchen.
They must be having their breakfast right now.
I walked in and saw them sitting in the corner with some bread in their hand.
Lilly noticed me and waved at me.
"Are you feeling better now Rose? Here! Do you want some bread?"she said and cut the bread in half.
She gave me the one half and started eating the other half.
Alex smiled at me.
"You seem more healthy and happy today.When did you get healing powers? You recovered in one single night."she said and giggled.
Did she know that I was faking it?
I bowed at them.
"Thank you for covering for me yesterday! I will repay you immediately when I get the chance."
They giggled and told me about their day.
We finished eating our bread and went to work.
I still can't get Endymion out of my mind!
I have been thinking of him all day.
I signed as I lean against a wall of the hallway.
I am seriously waiting outside his room.
For what?
What are you waiting for Rose?
You shouldn't get too much in this storyline.
As I decided to walk away a hand bumped me against the wall.
Endymion was very close to me and blocked my way with both of his hands.
"Y-young master Endymion..."I said and my heart almost stopped beating.
What does he want?
He lets go off me.
"Next time warn that it is you dummy."he said and slapped me gently and playfully on the cheek.
Can I tell him as an excuse that my cheek became red because of that touch instead of embarrassment?
What a foolish thought.
"A-ah I am sorry young master.I didn't mean to make you alarmed."
He signed and brushed his hair back with his right hand.
"You better tell me that it is you.What if I didn't notice that it is you and mistook you for a spy?"
Even when he scolds me I can't help but admire his handsome face changing expressions.
"Alright young master.I will do as you like.If you excuse me-"I turned away.
"Hey.Why did you even come here?"he said and leaned against the wall next to where I was before.
That was where I was....
Oh....
"Ahaha.Nothing much.I was just tired and decided to lean against the wall for a while."
I mean....Maybe he will believe me?
His expression changed to a worried one.
"You sure you don't want more days off? You mustn't get tired so easily.Weak."he said and giggled.
Is he teasing me?!
I should get angry at him!
But for some reason I can't.
"...."
I left without a word while he was laughing and giggling.
Hot! Cute!
I can't take this!
Ahhhh!
I want to squeeze his cheeks and scream!
"Damn...I really can't escape this unrequited love can I?"
*Ding* *Dong*
The door bell?
Who?
I rushed to the main hall.
Who is it this time?
Cain if it is you!-
I opened the huge door and saw Lisa standing there.
She smiled at me.
"Hello."she said with a gentle tone.
"Hi- Hi!!!"I said shocked.
