Noella's POVAs a subordinate, I understand very well that our relationship is only limited to a contractual relationship. And that means I don't have to be guarded by him twenty-four hours, right?And when Enrick ordered me to stay at his house while Uncle Martin was away, I felt it was unnecessary. I'm pretty independent despite having to live alone."Noella, I will feel at ease if you stay in my house while your uncle is away. I will ensure your safety is maintained," Enrick said with a heavy voice.Although I appreciated his kindness, I felt you could care for yourself without staying at his house. I decided to express my refusal firmly."But Mr. Enrick, that's not necessary at all. I'm sure I'm old enough to care for myself while he's away. You don't have to do that," I refused with all humility. I hope she understands and leaves this place soon. I'm already starving, Lord.Enrick raised one eyebrow, slightly surprised by my refusal, but he patiently listened to my arguments. "
Noella's POV"Really? Are you sure Enrick said that?" I asked uncertainly because he didn't say anything to me, especially about something as important as this."I wasn't the only one who heard that, ma'am. But all the servants and guards heard it. We were also asked to serve Madame very well and treat Madame as we would Mr. Enrick. You are fortunate, ma'am. The master has never treated a lady the way he treats you," the servant said with sparkling eyes.I smiled awkwardly at what I had just heard. "Ah, forgive me, Madam. I have spoken at length without introducing my name. My name is Sasa, ma'am. So, is there anything you need, Madame Noella?" "Nothing. I can handle all this myself. You go away.""Perhaps I can help turn on the hot water for you to clean yourself? Or prepare some clothes for you? Or maybe prepare your room to make it more comfortable?" the waitress offered, slightly irritating me. I just wanted to take a shower and go to bed. I was exhausted. "No need. I'll take a
Enrick's POVWe continued to hold hands until we reached the dining room. I felt her face change not long after we left her room. I don't know what happened to her. Or could it be that I had unknowingly made a mistake? I was thinking quite hard because of that girl. Her eyes widened when we reached the room where I usually ate alone. Both her eyes circulated, mesmerized by the luxury I had. Oh no, it's not that that girl loves luxury. I'd rather see if she's amazed because she's never seen anything like what I have. This room is indeed not inferior to the other rooms. Still, with the classic European touch synonymous with wealth. In the center of the room was a long dining table of exquisitely polished mahogany, surrounded by chairs adorned with intricate but highly detailed hand carvings. On the table lay a gold-colored tablecloth with a delicate border that added to the impression of elegance and high class. A classic-style chandelier hung above the table, spreading its crystal c
Enrick’s POV"What do you mean, Enrick?" She said, still not believing my seriousness. "Yes. As I said before. The ring and the yacht, all my clients should know that I have a gorgeous and charming girlfriend," I explained again. I was proud enough to introduce Noella as my fiancée and future wife. Noella was silent for a moment, her eyes showing apparent confusion and anxiety. Her facial expression turned into a mixture of confusion and fear. Her lips were bitten lightly, and her fingers squeezed respectively on the right and left sides of her suddenly stiff body. I could see that my words made her feel uncomfortable."Enrick, are you serious?" she asked tremblingly, trying to hold back something swirling in her head. I frowned. Did what I said earlier sound like a lie? Was I always kidding her for thinking this relationship wasn't real?"Look into my eyes and see if I look like I'm joking?"With steady steps, I approached her. The girl stood stiffly when she saw me walking straig
Enrick's POVA while later, Noella and I sat in the Private movie theatre. The room's lights had been dimmed, creating a quiet and deep atmosphere like being in a public movie theatre. This room has a complete and up-to-date movie collection, along with the facilities. It gives the impression that you're in a regular movie theatre. But the difference was that my facilities were more than enough and would be a feast for the eyes and ears."While I was gone, what did you do, darling?" I asked, which surprised her a little. Because I called her 'dear' even when no one was watching and listening."Nothing. I was just lazing around. I didn't know what to do in the middle of the night. There's just a big TV, and I wanted to watch it," she replied while eating her chips. "Noella?""Hmm?" she replied indifferently. Her eyes were focused on the story on the screen."I have tomorrow off." I was a little annoyed that his response was just a silent nod. "I don't have any events tomorrow," I ex
Enrick's POVWhen the alarm clock on my bed went off, I woke up and opened my eyes quickly, without laziness or sleepiness. Today was a special day because today Noella and I were going on vacation together. I even set the alarm an hour earlier than usual with excitement and enthusiasm for this bright morning.The sky outside was still dark, but I felt the spirit flowing through me. With steady steps, I walked towards the bathroom, preparing warm water to soak in with a refreshing scent. A pre-vacation bath would be very refreshing, wouldn't it? By seven o'clock, I had finished my bath. I felt my muscles that had been tense relax and refresh. After showering, I shave my moustache and beard to make them look cleaner and neater. I thought it was essential to look my best, even if it was just for a vacation. After ensuring my moustache and beard were clean, I washed my face with cold water and then wiped it with a face towel. With a neat and clean face, I felt more confident to face th
Noella’s POVMy eyes widened as soon as I entered a vehicle that I had never imagined riding in. Let alone going abroad. My mind kept spinning, trying to understand what was going on.And what did he say? We're going abroad in this super expensive vehicle? Could it be that easy to go overseas without any travelling gear? He and I even brought just a change of clothes.I was stunned when I was already inside. The cabin was, of course, spacious and luxurious, complete with modern, sophisticated and elegant amenities. The seats were made of genuine leather and could be lowered to one hundred and eighty degrees. Making sure the passengers can rest comfortably. The room was cold but refreshing."Enrick, isn't this too much? You said we were going out of town. But why go overseas? Even we're only going for two days," I said when I was already baffled about what Enrick was doing. "I didn't say we were going out of town. I said we're going sightseeing, and it's still a secret where we're goi
Noella’s POVEnrick and I took a stroll until it was already dusk. We explored every corner of the tourist spot, from the beach to souvenir shops and enjoyed the culinary snacks there. Lastly, I watched the sunset alone with him. Actually, I still wanted to be in this place, on a beautiful beach with a stunning sunset atmosphere. But Enrick invited me to go somewhere that, again, I didn't know what place it was. He took me to a nightspot located not far from the beach. Some kind of club with the sea view as the background. As soon as we entered the building, we were greeted with a lively and energetic atmosphere. Colorful spotlights flashed throughout the room. Music thumped from the large speakers, inviting the patrons to come and have fun.I had never been to an entertainment venue like this. It certainly made me uncomfortable and a little uncomfortable, especially when I accidentally saw a young couple kissing without shame. The club's interior is dominated by tropical design wi
