As soon as she stepped inside the office that was prepared for her Daphne didn’t waste any time and started to focus on finishing the  job . The servant asked her if she needed anything and she asked him to bring her a tray filled with sweets . After all she wanted to prove to him how wrong he was .

‘ Hmph ! I don’t look like a genius . Is he saying that I look dumb in his eyes ?….he even dared to say that i was flirting with Lion when it was actually because of him that I was angry and Lion was kind enough to cheer me up……Heh ! He is a handsome rich duke , every girl is obsessed with him , the perfect Prince Charming of girls…….He is far from the Prince Charming tittle . He is better off crowned as the king of narcissists and arrogance . ‘ thought Daphne angry at the thought of him calling her a freeloader when she had finished her job perfectly .

When the desserts came , her work speed increased even more .

While Daphne was focusing on her work , Daria went to Damon’s office and placed the contract on his desk .

“ We secured the land to built our branch in Germany and an additional mall project . “ said Daria .

Damon looked at the two contracts satisfied by Daria’s good work .

“ Good job with the contracts . You deserve an award . “ said Damon .

“ I will gladly accept a new diamond necklace from Cartier . “ said Daria .

“ Place the order tomorrow . I will buy it for you . “ said Damon with a smile .

“ Yay ! Best brother ever . “ said Daria smiling .

Damon smiled seeing her happy face . He hated it when they fought as for years , they had been each other’s greatest support .

“  Daria…….I am asking you this nicely . Don’t do anything to her . I would hate it if I had to stop you in my own way . “ said Damon .

Daria nodded her head understanding that this was a gentle warning .

“ I am pretty sure you heard what we were talking about . “ said Daria .

Damon sighed as he realised she was about to start and tease him now .

“ Your charming looks finally met their match brother . Even Arnold was stunned as he was worried that he had to deal with another obsessive girl . “ said Daria with a smirk as she noticed his annoyed face .

“ She has a bad eyesight then . “ said Damon opening the file .

“ Pffft ! You two are both hilarious . I look forward to tomorrow’s episode . “ said Daria waving at Damon as she headed towards the door.

“ …..I don’t think you should worry about me doing anything to her . We have become friends . Good night brother . “ said Daria .

“ Good night sister . “ said Damon .

After Daria left , Damon held his chin as he leaned his head on his hand . He used his magic making a mirror like portal form red aura appear in front of him . The image inside the mirror like aura was Daphne as she continued her work tirelessly . She had used a pen as a hair clip and with one hand she ate the dessert as she wrote with the other , making Damon laugh .

‘ How can someone concentrate in such a messy state ?! ‘ thought Damon to himself .

“ Let’s see how strong your determination will turn out to be . “ said Damon with a devilish smirk .

He made the aura disappear in a midst of light fog and continued his work . He was so immersed in his work that he didn’t even noticed the hours passing . When he saw it was already 3am he got up from his seat and decided to check on Daphne before he went to his room .  When he arrived there , he noticed that she had fallen asleep on the chair and had set an alarm on her phone .

The papers and books were opened and scattered around the table and chairs . Looking at her sleeping face , his eyes focused on her lips as he raised his hand and brushed her stuck at the corner of her mouth away .

‘ ……Will this thirst I feel go away if I taste her lips just once ? ‘ thought Damon to himself .

He brushed her lips with his thumb , feeling their softness .

“ I have lived for a long time , seen a lot of beauties come and pass but none of them has made me feel such an urge of intrigue inside of me . Not to mention your intoxicating smell that shakes my iron resolve………..I don’t know what you have about you that keeps drawing me to you but I will discovered it soon and get rid of it…..After all , I can’t have myself fall spiritually for someone other than my chosen bride . Not now when I have waited so long for this moment . “ said Damon caressing her cheek as his parents came to mind .

Just as he was about to lean his face closer to her lips , the alarm on her phone rang .  Damon immediately used his powers and disappeared while she rubbed her eyes . She checked her phone and turned the alarm off then held her cheek .

“ Strange…..I felt a hand caressing my cheek . Was it a dream ? “ said Daphne confused .

She looked at the books and realised she had so much work to do , so without wasting any time , she hurried back to finish the job .

When morning came , Daphne headed straight to Damon’s office with a proud smile on her face .
