Chapter 68
“Is there any problem Leigh-Ann, I ordered you to leave” Kael gruffed, sparing me a cold gaze.Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.
I gulped hard and lowered my head. I had to tell him.
“Um… sorry Sir but… Ace… Sir Ace asked me to dinner”
Kael looked at me for some time and my heart skipped. I couldn’t tell the look on his face because they held no emotions as usual.
“I… I wouldn’t mind telling him I’ve got important things to do S… Sir” I stuttered. He didn’t say a word but resumed playing the game.
“You know Lacrosse is a violent fucking game. We’re gonna pull each other down and put up nasty stunts” Kael Suddenly spoke up.
“Would you trade your perfect dinner with Ace for some stupid game huh?”
I didn’t know what to say but truly, I wanted to join him for the game, I wanted to watch him play and cheer him up, I wanted to be with him and him alone, I…
“Enjoy your dinner in advance” Kael’s voice broke in “You May leave”
All through the night, I couldn’t help thinking. Was Kael mad at me? If he was then he wouldn’t let me join Ace for dinner right? Even when I looked at him, he didn’t look angry in any way.
Oh goodness! Was Kael tryna test me huh? It was so fucking hard to understand him.
I kept thinking till I fell asleep.
—Next Morning—
Kael joined for breakfast along with Ace and Alejandra and it was just great watching them play all along.
After breakfast, I helped the maids in clearing the table even when I wasn’t supposed to. Stiles caught up with me.
“Where did you go yesterday?”
I didn’t respond immediately due to the maids that kept walking up and down the hallway.
“Went out to the country club with Ace, gosh, it was so much fun. I’ve never had so much fun in my life” I enthused. Stiles didn’t respond and I turned to look at him. “What?!?”
“Nothing. Was just surprised when I got back and you were nowhere” I sighed and handed the plates to one of the maids.
“So… I guess you… missed me huh?” I asked jokingly but he didn’t respond “Okay, I get you were worried that I had wandered off and gotten missing…”
“No, it’s not that” Stiles chipped in. He had this look on his face that was mixed with anger and something else I couldn’t figure out. I waited to hear more from him but he sighed and rubbed his forehead.
“Stiles are you okay?”
“Yes, I am. I was just afraid you’ll get fired by Sir Kael”
I smiled and without knowing why I hugged his body.
“You’re such a chicken, Stiles,” I said amidst laughter.

Stiles’s POV
For cripes’ sake, I felt so angry but I just couldn’t show it. I’m pretty sure she had left for the country club because I wasn’t there to keep her company. She must’ve felt bored and decided to leave with Ace.
I just couldn’t tell her the truth so I had to cover it up by saying I was afraid she’ll get fired by Sir Kael and of course Sir Kael wouldn’t do such. He was always kind and considerate.
She hugged me, leaving this unexplained feeling on my chest. Though she didn’t press hard, I could still feel her b00bs on me. Finally, she pulled away.
“And did you know Sir Kael approved of me going for dinner with Ace tonight?”
I couldn’t respond but just stared at her. What did she just say? Dinner with Ace?
“Shît, I was so scared when I told him about it. He had asked for my service at his game tonight”
“So you choose dinner with some guy over your duty huh?” I asked and she frowned.
“I… I didn’t. Trust me, I was ready to turn down Ace’s dinner but Sir Kael approved of it anyway”
The fuck! I was just tryna come off my anger for offering Alejandra a ride instead of staying with Leigh-Ann and now this???
“But I’ve been wondering why he agreed to the dinner, I mean his game is far more important,” She said and then looked up at me “Any ideas?”
“Don’t go for the dinner” I said and she sighed then took a step away from me, folding her arms.
“But I said yes to Ace. How do you think he’ll feel if I tell him I am not interested?”
“Then it’s left for him to feel whichever way he wants. How can you explain saying yes to him in the first place?” I said and asked.
“I thought Kael wouldn’t come back anytime soon”
“Oh fuck, so you wanted to neglect your position as a maid?” I asked. Crap, I was tryna suppress my anger at the moment. Why would she say yes to dinner in the first place?
She sighed and didn’t respond.
“Don’t go for dinner. Who knows, Sir Kael might be testing you”
“Why should he put me on such a test? If he didn’t want me to go, he would’ve said so but he told me to go for it” She responded looking frustrated.
“And what if he didn’t mean for you to go?” I knew I was pushing it hard but still, I didn’t want her to go anywhere.
If Sir Kael had told her to go for dinner, I’m sure he had a good reason for it. Maybe he knew she deserved it or he just wanted her to have fun but I just couldn’t let her go.
“Okay, whatever, I’ll think about it” Leigh-Ann finally said and walked off.
What’s this thing I’m feeling? Is it jealousy?
