His Coy Lover

“Charles, I’m starting work tomorrow.”

“Hmm.”

“I’ll do my best.”

“Hmm.”

“Don’t you have anything to tell me?”

Zelda was hoping he would share some insights into the current business situation in River Town. She believed that no one knew it better than him.

Charles patted his wheelchair, and Zelda stopped.

He looked up at her for a while, then hesitatingly raised his hand and uttered two words, “Keep going!”

Zelda, who had captured his expression, expected him to say more but was surprised that he only managed to squeeze out two words.

She couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

This man could be quite amusing at times.

She found herself liking him more and more.

Lowering her head, Zelda planted a firm kiss on Charles’s face, smiling as she said, “Charles, I’ll keep going. Thank you for your support and encouragement.”

Charles remained expressionless after her kiss.

Zelda didn’t mind.

In this couple, she was the one who initiated kisses most of the time.

Occasionally, he would respond, but it was never intense.

Perhaps, it had to do with him not being humane.

That night, the couple had a rare peaceful time.

The next day, Zelda got up early.

She groomed herself in front of the mirror, tying her hair up high to give herself a youthful and vibrant look.

Today marked her official entry into the Roscente Group. She hesitated in choosing her outfit, finally settling for a white short-sleeved T-shirt and black leggings. Among the clothes she brought, this outfit seemed most suitable for her first day at the company.

The Roscente Group had its own employee uniform, and once Zelda formally joined the company, she would receive the staff uniform.

After putting on high heels, Zelda walked a bit cautiously.

Her past job and her personality made her dislike wearing very high heels. Even after a year, Zelda still didn’t like wearing them.

Charles, who woke up earlier than her, was sitting in the living room reading the newspaper.

Seeing her walk out cautiously, Charles frowned and glanced at her sky-high heels.

“Zack.”

Charles called.

Zack hurried over.

“Have someone go to Miss’s place to get a pair of mid-heeled shoes for her. They should be new, the kind she hasn’t worn before.”

Zelda’s shoe size was the same as Nina’s. Charles had investigated her thoroughly, including the size of her shoes.

Zack respectfully agreed and went away with a smile.

He personally went to Nina’s place to get a new pair of shoes.

“Why did my big brother ask Zack to come over and get something? Does he not have anything on his side?”

Nina, who heard that someone from her big brother was coming over, elegantly yawned, showing her curiosity. “Does my big brother not have anything over there?”Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

Nina wondered why someone was bothering her so early in the morning.

Zack, with an apologetic expression, approached. “Miss, I’m sorry to disturb you. The Young Master asked me to come and get a pair of mid-heeled shoes for Miss. They should be new and the kind Miss has never worn before.”

Nina had many pairs of shoes, and there was a whole room dedicated to storing them.

Even so, the large shoe cabinets were already full, and there was a trend of expanding into two rooms.

“Brother wants shoes from me? Who are they for? Zelda?”

Nina wasn’t stupid; she immediately thought of Zelda.

After all, her big brother currently only had Zelda as a woman.

Zack respectfully replied, “Yes.”

Nina was surprised.

Wasn’t Zelda brought back by her big brother to act as a free nanny? Wasn’t he seeking revenge on her?

Yet, he actually wanted Zelda to wear her shoes!

“Doesn’t Zelda have shoes?”

“She does.”

“Then, why?”

Zack apologetically explained, “Miss, it’s Charles’s idea. I don’t know the reason.”

Nina knew the rules in her big brother’s residence. Not wanting to trouble Zack, she asked a servant to fetch the key and open the door to her shoe room. She took out a pair of mid-heeled shoes that she had never worn and had Zack take them back.
