With a snap of his fingers, maids orderly walked to the table with dishes, the butler was right on their trail.
As soon as the food was properly arranged, the butler who was standing at Daemon’s left side bowed before talking.
” The meal is served sir, miss.
If you require anything further please let me know sir” The aged man said with his hands crossed behind him.
He didn’t dare stare at his master in the eyes for fear of freezing to death.
He wondered how the lady sitted beside him wasn’t feeling intimidated by his master’s presence.
Daemon lazily dismissed the butler with a flick of his wrist while his gaze remained fixed on Anne.
He bowed understanding the signal and walked away.
It was in times like this that he loved his job, his master wasn’t overbearing or hard to serve….
Well sometimes.
Anne on the other hand wondered why this crazy man has been staring at her.
Was there something on her face?.
“Why are you staring at me?” She glared at him, how could someone this handsome act so strange?.
Now that she took a good look at him during daylight, he looked like he descended from an ancient blueblood lineage.
His hair looked beautiful, the silver strands sparkled beneath the kisses of light, while the raven black strands looked glossy.
Each strand laid on his head with perfection, some silver and black strands curled slightly at his forehead.
Even his gray eyes appeared silvery but the cold look he was giving made her blink twice, she instantly snapped out of her reverie.
Oh my God!.
What is wrong with me?
.
How did I end up staring at him?.
Anne’s eyes flew to the chicken and she silently cursed herself in her head.
She just asked him why he was staring at her and yet barely a second later she was doing the same thing.
“Are you done admiring me kitten?. Or do you suddenly find the chicken attractive?” A devilish smirked appeared on his lips .
He loved the fiery aura this little woman carried around.
He really couldn’t wait to break her.
She resisted the urge to tell him to shut up.
Who knows?.
Almost on cue, her stomach grumbled loudly, Anne sighed at her stomach’s attempt to embarrass her.
“Can we eat already?. I’m starving” She muttered with what tiny shred of dignity she had left.
She couldn’t dare stare at him for fear of blushing due to embarrassment.
She rarely ever blushed because she wasn’t ever in a situation that made her cheek turn crimson.
“You haven’t replied my question kitten.” Anne groaned internally.
What was it with this man pushing her buttons with his words and even worse, he spoke with such calmness but it annoyed her a lot.
“I wasn’t admiring you. And yes the chicken does look attractive, what do you expect?. I’m hungry” She responded while maintaining her gaze on the chicken.
She was beginning to drool at this point.
God…
It’s looks so juicy, the aroma is killing me…
“Are you saying you don’t find me attractive kitten?”
I thought we were here to eat breakfast.
Why is the man bothering me with so much questions?
(╥﹏╥).
“I’ve seen men who are a lot more attractive.” She responded nonchalantly, at this point she was already feasting on the chicken in her imagination.
Her nostrils flared as she inhaled more aroma.
Unexpectedly, she feels fingers on her chin, the fingers pull her face away from the chicken and her gaze is now rested on Daemon.
His face was close to hers.
It was too close!.
Panic surged in Anne, what the hell was this psycho up to?.
Does he want to kiss me?.
Oh hell no!.
“You were saying something that piqued my interest kitten. I’d like you to say it again while you’re staring at me.” His husky voice dropped to a whisper.
He sounded really intimidating, his gleaming eyes promised her bad things.
Really bad things.
” I said I’ve seen men who are a lot more —”
” I dare you to finish that sentence kitten” His tone had an underlying meaning that spelt doom for her if she dare finish what she was saying.
Who knows what this man would do to her?.
“I thought as much” His smiled turned eerie and it irked Anne.
You’re such a narcissist.
What a crazy fellow.
You called me down for breakfast but instead you’re threatening me.
You better pray I don’t find a way to kill you in your sleep.
Anne ranted and cursed Daemon in her thought but she could only glare at him and hope he allows her to finally eat.
Finally, he releases her chin and sits back properly in his chair.
He reaches for the cutlery and starts eating.
Anne was glad to finally eat, she grabbed hold of her cutlery and began eating.
In no time, the food on her plate was gone and she was helping herself to another serving with two drumsticks.
She slowly licked her upper lip at the sight of the food completely oblivious to Daemon’s stare.
In fact to her, Daemon did not exist at the moment.
It was just herself and her delicious meal.
Initially he was eating but he noticed how Anne stuffed her mouth without a break and now she was going for the chicken.
Did she have a vortex in her stomach?.
That wasn’t the concerning question, how did she finish the food on her plate so fast?.
And now he could she see her devouring the second serving without mercy.
For such a little woman, she sure ate a lot.
How did this tiny body contain all the food she was consuming?.
After several minutes of eating, the plates and bowls that were once full of food sat empty on the table.
Anne wiped her lips clean with a huge smile on her face.
She had skipped dinner yesterday because she didn’t have much money but now she was full and content.
Daemon’s eyes slowly travelled from the empty dishes to the little woman happily wiping her mouth.
“I feel like you will eat up my house before your one month stay is up” He said then wiped his lips with a black napkin.
Anne’s head whipped so fast as she stared at him with furrowed brows.
She held the napkin to her lips which slowly turned into a thin line.
What the hell did he mean by that?!.
