Chapter 264 – Fall Into Trouble


    Evan made sure that the man did not take a step away from the ce where he was resting. Whenever he tried to move, she raised her head and red at him.


    "Here, you should have some tea! Or would you like to have snacks too?" she asked in a bossy tone that he did not know how to reply to her!


    Like a docile man, he raised his hands to take the cup of tea and shook his head when she asked about snacks.


    Though a bit awkward, she nodded her head when he agreed to every word she said. She could not help but feel that he was behaving differently! There was something strange but she let it go thinking that he might be tired due to the injury.


    Just when she sat on the other sofa once she was assured that he was fine, she saw him trying to stand up.


    "Where are you going?" she asked as she stood up abruptly and it took him a lot of effort to bring a warm smile on his face.


    "Evangeline, did you forget that we are here for work! How am i supposed to do work if i will not move!?" he was running out of patience when she was bent on treating him like a small baby.


    "By sitting on the sofa. After all, you have to check files only!" she replied in a matter of fact tone as she pointed at the scattered files that she had arranged just a while ago.


    "I need to talk to marquis Alfrenzona about this file. The matter is private and he will feel offended if you would be the one to handle it!" holding on to his sanity. He exined to her patiently so that she would understand that the matter was urgent but the girl only frowned when she looked at the file.


    "Is it about the list of the armory!?" since that was a rather private matter even she could not ask him to give it to her and she would handle the matter.


    Once he nodded, she took a deep breath and nodded, "I understand, then I shall go and call the man to meet you. You can discuss the matter with him by sitting on this sofa only!" he frowned when he heard how nonchntly she was taking the matter.


    "No! Since he is equal to my father in age, I can not ask him toe to my office. So, I would be the one to go!" He stood up and then without even listening to her, he held the file and walked towards the door.


    He was a knight and if other woulde to know that he was noting to their room because a small ss pierced him, then either would be taken as too weak to handle the work pressure of an arrogant man who was making excuses to show that he was superior to others because of his high ranking in the knighthood.


    She pursued her lips as she felt reluctant to let him go but nodded her head as she knew he would not listen to her further.


    "Stay here only and do not create any trouble!" Once he reached the door, he turned and reminded her as he knew her other name was trouble when she was left alone.


    Either she would be bullied or she would bully others to no end. But he knew that this ce was full of vicious falcons that could use her as their prey.


    She frowned as this was the first time when Leo had asked her so, but she nodded her head since she was not in a mood to go out of the rooms anyways. She had decided to work on more and more files so that he did not need to stay here for long.


    Once assured he left the room with a relieved face.


    Evan picked up another file and a parchment paper where she was calcting and checking the amounts when she heard the knock on the door,


    Did Leo forget something and send someone to ask for it?


    "Come in!" with that though she let the girl enter who scanned the whole room with a face full of greed and it took her a few seconds to notice Even that was sitting on the sofa and looked at her with a frown!


    "Mydy, are you Lady Evangeline, the chosen wife of lord Thawyne?" asked the girl in a sweet voice as if they were long lost friends.


    "I am! Why?" Evan nodded her head but still looked at the girl with a bit of impatience as she had so many things to do and did not have time to waste.


    "Oh! Since it is your first time here, then all of the staff wanted to meet you. Since we might get a chance to work together in the future. Would it not be good if we know each other better?" she asked in a sweet tone as she entered the room with a chirpy face.


    Though Evan agreed that the girl might be right and they would have a curiosity to know about her since she hade here for the first time. She still has a lot of work to do.


    And she did not know for how long she was going to be there. Then why waste time in knowing the people you are not going to meet anyways. With that thought, she shook her head,


    "I apologize, but I have work to do and my lord has told me to stay here and work! So, I can note with you!" the smile on the face of the girl faltered when she heard Evan but soon the smilee back as she continued,


    "Is that so? There might be confusion, mydy! Since the young lord had personally asked me toe and escort you so that you could meet everyone in the ministry.


    He was worried that you would be bored and then fall into trouble as you look around by yourself. So he had asked me to apany you and help you in getting acquainted with the people working here!"
