A golden fairy sat at the desk, her beautiful face, sharp nose soft, juicy and plump red lips glistening in the sun''s glow and her natural glossy shine. Deep red eyes, like ruby gemstones, glistened as she watched the screen with a slight frown on her lips. Niki was amused by the slight furrow in her blonde browns.


    "Who is it? I am a little busy, so sit and wait." A voice like an empress,manding and filled with an alluring and feminine charm that could make even the emperor of the world kneel.


    ''The way her eyebrows knit together when she is thinking looks simr.'' Niki couldn''t help but think of the vague scene in his memories from the past. The strange girl was like a miniature fairy of light swinging alone, yet her eyes were always watching him as if curious or irritated.


    ''Was it her?''


    Wilhelmina stepped forward and pushed a small wagon filled with snacks and tea; the scent was a little strong, causing Niki''s nose to itch. ''Herbs, bitter and spicy, but they smell familiar... Mint and Camomile?''


    Niki enjoyed the refreshing scent of the tea and watched as Selene''s delicate hands elegantly lifted the cup and drank. "Niki, I have some work to do. You don''t mind waiting, right?"


    "No problem, I will wait."


    ''She feels different, nothing like thest time we met. There was a sense like she created a wall, an icy feeling that surrounded her. It felt strange to Niki that Selene didn''t speak with her usual style, insulting him or being haughty.


    ''Did that night change things?'' Niki thought with a slight disappointment seeping into his heart.


    He never wanted to do something that she disliked, but Selene was not Nikita. Selene didn''t love him or adore him like that. ''No wonder...''


    Instead of lingering on the negative emotions, he just released a long sigh and leaned back into the sofa while enjoying the ambience of the office. Niki could sense the changes in her mood or thoughts when typing from the rhythm and speed or how long she took to sigh andin.


    "Annoying...."


    "This is wrong... who pays these fools...."


    However, he could only rely on his ears because when he looked at her, she would frown, then re at him with her nose, snorting as if angry until he looked away. ''This woman is so strange...'' He thought.


    "I see.... the project is going well..." Selene''s voice echoed in his enhanced ears, along with the sound of her huffing with a slight smile appearing on her lips as he peeked from the corner of his eyes.


    Nevertheless, time passed quickly with the tapping of her keyboard and brief whispers Selene said to herself when frustrated or curious.


    "Haa..... I am done. This work shouldn''t be mine." Selene muttered while stretching the sound of her bones cracking and adjusting to her new posture as her arms sped together above her head, reaching higher.


    ''Hmmm, so he didn''tin once while waiting? It''s been a good few hours. Did he understand this was punishment for doing those things to me? I wonder...''


    Selene nced towards Niki, who satfortably on the couch, reading a book as he sipped from the cup of tea. "You really didn''t get bored? How can you sit for so long without talking? Don''t you have anything to do?"


    Her voice was like a thunderp that awakened the room. Niki''s gaze turned to her as she felt something strange. Her chest throbbed, and she felt a slight arrhythmia before it faded. ''That night...'' Memories of the night they spent in the VIP room shed through her eyes causing her face to turn red, forcing her to turn away. "Hmph... are you hungry?"


    "A little."


    Selene felt ufortable as the silence continued with only the ticking of the clock and their breathing as the sound of the busy world outside was muffled by the walls. She got up from her seat and walked towards the small table and sofa before Selene sat down—however, to both of their shock, she sat beside Niki despite there being two other sofas empty.


    A single-seater and a two-seater.


    "D-Don''t misunderstand, Niki, it''s just easier to share the menu this way. Right, right?!" Her voice heightened and became a little strange, but Niki didn''t want to make this golden cat run away again so he just smiled and nodded with his eyes narrowed into crescent moons.


    ''T-this guy... I hate how his smile is so easy to see through! It''s too fake, don''tugh! Don''t make fun of me!'' Selene thought with her heart racing in her chest.


    Selene''s feelings weren''t as icy as she tried to make them appear like so, despite leaning away from him to create space while opening the food app on her phone.


    She could feel his gaze on her hands and body, causing her cheeks to blush slightly, constantly reminded of the night they spent together. To her, it was beyond her mind to do something like that before marriage.


    "So... what''s your favourite dish?" Selene asked, with a sheepish voice, looking at the various cuisines.


    "Tepes."


    "Hmmm, Tapas?"


    "No, Tepes, especially the princess."


    The moment she registered what he meant, her face became red; from the moment she forgave her body to him, even though it wasn''t entirely, Selene lost the ability to treat him coldly or push him away. The blissful pleasure of his touch and tongue burned into her memory.


    ''This bastard?! Why is he saying I am his favourite dish.... so embarrassing! Does he have no shame?''


    "Idiot..."


    "Haha."


    ''There is the usual Selene; she was so strange that I worried she was mad, but was it just embarrassment?'' Niki''s smile grewrger, his arm reaching around the back of the sofa and resting on her shoulder.


    Selene''s body jumped, but only for a moment, as she felt his hand. After that, she didn''t stop him and let his hand rest on her arm. Maybe she would deny it if asked, but it seemed the princess rather liked the feeling.


    "Let''s have what you like, Selene." Niki''s voice was gentle as he spoke beside her cheek, causing the princess to quiver upon feeling his warm breath blow across her cheek.


    ''This flirty bastard... He has some nerve. How dare he speak beside my ear like that? He wants to eat me? Hmph... don''t think I will be the only one being eaten today!''


    Selene had already decided what she wanted, but she nced at him with a slight smile. "Then shall I eat some fresh wolf?"


    ''Fresh Wolf?''


    Niki couldn''t help but tilt his head with a confused look in his eyes, which caused her to grin mischievously. ''Idiot.''


    He leaned forward and kissed the unsuspecting vampire, who made a teasing joke. His lips pressed against hers gently, feeling her soft skin and her plump, juicy lips. Soft to the touch, his tongue easily slipped into the stunned vampire''s mouth.


    The smell of her sweet saliva lingered in his nose a little, causing Niki''s heartbeat to rise and the blood to pump through his veins faster and more vigorously than before. She pushed her tongue forward, and their tongues intertwined for a few moments before.


    Finally, Selene seemed to wake up. Her eyes widened with her pupils dting as she pushed him back, her face bright red while pointing at him. "You...you....what did you...do?!"


    "I let you eat some fresh wolf, right?"


    Selene almostughed, but the moment she realised her own mistake, she covered her face and tried to make an angry face at him. ''Damn idiot... stupid.... woman-loving beast... ah. I want to punch him!


    I am so embarrassed, someone kill me.''


    Niki knew she had tried to tease him but failed, only for him to tease her even more, but she didn''t seem to mind his kiss. ''She is more shy than I thought.'' Heughed.


    "Serves you right for teasing me," Niki said with a cheeky grin, causing Selene''s heart to flutter. She felt irritated, yet also amused, and because she lost twice in a row, it seemed she gave up for now.


    "Let''s just order something to eat.... idiot..."


    After that, they had a light lunch while enjoying some sandwiches and cookies. Despite being monsters, both of them seemed to have quite a sweet tooth.


    "Huh?" Selene swallowed the sandwich in her mouth and drank some tea before ncing at Niki, who had been sitting beside her all this time. "What n?"


    "You didn''t invite me here just to eat lunch and flirt with me, right?"


    "Pfft! Don''t be silly."


    Selene denied it while spitting out her tea across the room and looking at Niki with her beautiful scarlet eyes in shock. However, it was true. She didn''t even have a reason to invite him. ''Why? I was supposed to invite him and then mistreat him what he did... that brute...''


    "I guess you are right—I just felt like having lunch. What?! Are you not satisfied with eating with me? Then I won''t eat with you!" Selene pouted, crossing her arms and turning away from him.


    ''Did that one act change her this much?'' Niki was shocked at how, despite her acting fiercely and rejecting him, it felt like warm water being sshed.


    He could feel the difference between Selene today and her in the past. So he took a shot and asked her out. Since he went somewhere with Nikita, it was only fair. "Hey Selene, shall we go for a drive, maybe see a movie or visit the opera?"


    "Sure... I don''t mind. When are you talking about?"


    The words came so naturally that she even felt surprised. ''I can''t believe it... Am I really going on a date with him?!


    "Now, tonight."


    "Heh?!"


    "Let''s go!" Niki grabbed her hand, and the vampire princess could only nod and follow him, the sight causing Wilhelmina to drop the documents she was sorting as the little princess dashed away with a man and climbed into the private elevator just for her.


    "Princess?" Wilhelmina would have stopped them, but the smile and rosy cheeks of her master stopped her.


    The long-serving werewolf of the princess, both her nanny and midwife, felt stunned to see the genuine smile of her little princess with someone she imed to hate and dislike so much when alone.


    ''Is she finally at that age? The princess is finally bing a woman... I feel a little lonely.''


    After that, she stopped doing her normal work and began to write a message, with several women tagged, her sister and the wives of dimir.
