Evil Duke, Please Be Gentle!

Chapter 288 – [Bonus Chapter] Acting Mode On!

"My lord, for how much time are you going to stare at the door of the young lord?" the man could not help but ask as Aiden did not even have his meal. 

It had been more than an hour, yet he was standing in the passage, staring blankly at the door of the office of Duke Thawyne or muttering something under his breath that he could not understand.

But whenever he asks what the matter was, Aiden only turns his head toward him to pass him a death glare!

He regretted why he went to escort the girl who personally sent my lady Grace, mother of lord Aiden when he was his assistant.

"My lord, lady Samantha is still waiting for you! Is that your way to avoid meeting her?" the assistant could not help but sigh! If this was the trick, then he must say it was too weird!

He could not help but wonder how the mind of his master worked! 

Once the name of the girl left his mouth, Aiden turned and glared at his aide,

"I don't want to hear her name and I am not going to meet her. Tell her that I have urgent work to deal with and handle my mother too.

I did not want any kind of distractions!" he gave another death glare to the man with a stern response and then continued to stare at the door again.

"………" distraction in what? Staring at the door? He wanted to ask what he actually was doing but he had asked it so many times already that he sighed and gave up now.

"My lord, I can send the girl away. But I can not handle aldy grace from coming here or announcing another punishment for you!" he explained in a low voice but before he could continue further, Aiden's eyes widened and then he ran towards the door, he was staring for so long.

"Wait! My lord. Where are you going?" Aiden did not pay any heed to the man anymore when he saw the door of the room open and the girl coming out.

When he had decided to stay here, he did not have much expectations that he would be able to see the girl again but who would have thought that she would come out this soon and that also alone.

His luck could not be any better. So, he could not lose the chance he would not find again.

Evan took a deep breath after coming out of the room. Though she told him that she would go and find the physician, she did not know where to find the man.

She would not ask a random person again and fall into another trap! She still did not know who the girl was that sent her in someone else's kitchen.

"There must be some enquiry office where I can get the information from!" she nodded at her thought and was about to turn and left when she heard hurried footsteps behind her.

She inched closer to the wall thinking that the man was in a hurry to cross the passage, she did not even turn to look who he was.

She was lost in thought about the injury of Leo when the sound of the steps halted and a muscular chest was in front of her.

She stopped abruptly before she could bump into the man only to find him grinning. 

"Thank god that i have finally found you!!" her brows knitted when she heard his cheerful voice and only then did she remember that he was the man she had seen in the kitchen with Leo.

But why was he searching for her?

Could it be that he wanted to ask for the refund of ingredients? 

Since she had thought that the kitchen belonged to Leo, she had used everything with free hands. Now that it belongs to others and they have taken all the cooked food, it would be only fair if he would ask for a refund. And here she thought that nobles are not petty!!

She cleared her throat and brought a faltering but fake smile on her face, as she looked at him with cunning eyes,

"Even I was looking for you, my lord!" 

Aiden, who had opened his mouth to apologize, closed it abruptly. Out of every reply, he was not expecting this one, since they both did not come out after Leo took all the food back. 

The petty man did not even let him smell the food properly let alone taste it.

"Really?" he raised a brow as he felt something was amiss with her reactions.

"Yes, of course! I wanted to apologize that I have used your kitchen without your permission. But trust me it was just a mistake!" she spoke in a soft voice, looking respectable yet frail so that he would not blame her further.

When it comes to acting, no one could get a hold of the girl, instantly her face turned into an embarrassed person who was deeply ashamed and feeling regret.

Anyone would feel sympathy by looking at her face.

"I can understand if you want to charge for the ingredients. You can send the bill to the office of the young lord!" That way, she would have a valid reason to ask for all the due money from Leo.

Since she was the one who wanted to treat Leo, she would be a big hearted person and pay for the expenses!

"Bill?" He looked at the girl with knitted brows. Did she think that he had spent his whole day like a door guard so that he could ask her for the bills! 

"My lady, there is some confusion, I am not here for the bills but I am here to apologize to you and make sure that you are fine!" Aiden closed his mouth abruptly as the words left his mouth in hurry.

But he continued to look at the bewildered girl with hesitation and asked,

"By any chance did you get punishment from the young lord for your mistake?"
