Evil Duke, Please Be Gentle!

Chapter 262 – Self Awareness!

"Do you think you are in incharge now?" he raised a brow as he stared at his confident face with deep penetrating eyes!

"No! But I have awareness that an injured wound should be treated well! Or else it would lead to infection!" she glared back at the man with full confidence as he blinked his eyes and then looked at his wound.

If she wanted to treat it then she had to….!!!

As the thought crossed his mind, a crooked smile formed on his face. 

"But there is no physician here! How will you help me?" he asked in a docile tone that stunned her. She was confused how the roaring lion turned into a  pet cat suddenly but she did not think much about it as she continued,

"I will treat it. It is nothing but a small injury and cleaning the wound and applying ointment would suffice!" of course, it was! But would she be able to do it!

\'If you ever want to woo a girl then you only have a seductive voice and face to convince her! Since your cold nature would scare her!\' he remembered what she had muttered last night and his eyes sparkled. 

Since she was sure that his face and body could help him in seducing her! Why not try it!

"Alright, if you say so!" he nodded his head and started working again silently!

\'That was it! Did the frozen prince agree that easily!\' she could not help but wonder if there was something amiss in it but why was it again! At least he was doing what she wanted to!

She let go of the thoughts and sat on the seat looking at the file he had given to study her. But her neck craned to the door every now and then to see if the girl was back with the first aid box.

She jumped on her feet and ran towards the door when she heard the knock on the door.

She opened it herself and snatched the first aid box and tea from the girls who looked a bit stunned by her sudden appearance.

When they come back to their senses, Evan has already taken everything from them and has closed the door.

Both girls exchanged the glances as they looked at each other awkwardly and returned to their work with a sigh.

"I have even ordered tea for you. It will help you feel better!" she beamed as she walked towards the table with a smile on her face.

"Hmm, pass the first aid box to me. I will manage!" though he raised his head and looked at her, his face was looking pale and exhausted that her heart clenched.

"You are looking too exhausted due to the blood loss. I will do it!" She held the first aid box tightly and forwarded her hands for him to hold on to them.

"Are you sure? If you are not comfortable you can ask a maid to come and help me!" he added in a raspy voice that she shuddered.

The white light falling from the window behind him was creating a halo behind him. In contrast to the bright light, his face was looking further pale. He was looking so weak that she did not have the heart to be cold towards him.

"Why? Why would I not be able to do it? I am proficient at treating small wounds and I have already treated them many times! So, do not worry!" she assured him and he lowered his head silently. 

His eyes filled with spark and a devilish smile formed on his face which she failed to notice as she was worried that he would not even be able to stand up by himself.

"Let me help you! We have to walk on the sofa so that I can apply antiseptic properly!" she pointed at the sofa as she stood beside him so that he could hold on to her shoulders while walking.

He wanted to shake his head. Did she forget that he was the one who brought her till the building in his arms. Yet she thought that he was so weak that he would not be able to walk even a bit when he acted weak! How could she be so naive!

"What happened. Shall I help you?" She did not know why she felt that Leo was looking too different today. Most of the time he was lost in his thoughts and gave a strained smile to her as if he was bearing a lot of pain!.

She bent herself a bit as he stood up and held her shoulders tightly, his check leaning on her back. Due to the difference in the height, he had to bend a bit to hold her shoulders resulting in his leaning closer to him for walking.

She could feel his hot breath on her skin and heat started to rise on her neck but she let go of that feeling and shook her head to keep herself calm. Why was she being so sensitive to his touch when he was a sick man and needed her help.

It felt like the small distance from the office table to the sofa felt like an eternity as she could feel his taut muscles on her back and his hands ended just above her neckline of the dress.

She could feel her long and slender fingers touching her cleavage that made her back trembling. A smirk formed on his lips when he saw the result of his touch on her.

At least, her body was more honest than her mouth. If she would have been feeling irritated or uncomfortable then she would not have that blush on her face.

But even when he was acting warm and docile, why was she not reacting the way he wanted! Should he be more seductive towards her? He nodded with that thought and then whispered in a seductive voice in her ears,

"Evangeline! Are you feeling hot? Your face is so red!!"
