Marissa stayed here regardless of what had happened yesterday. It seems that this is going to be a tough battle. Can't Claude kick her out of his house? Why am I dealing with this sh*t again? Do I look like a good person?
Here I am having breakfast with Duke Claude and Lady Marissa.
"Calla, how about we go out today?" Duke Claude asked.
I looked at Marissa and smiled. This girl is making my blood boiled so so much. I just want to slap her, kick her, I wanna drag her while pulling her hair. I'm sorry but I couldn't forget that she called me a whore. It really hurts me. "Will it be just the two of us?"
Duke Claude smiled. "Of course, it will just be the two of us. After all, I need to give my beloved fiancee a ring!"
My smile widens once more. I could see Marissa tightened her grip on her spoon. "Ara! Will it be alright with you, Lady Marissa? Being alone for this day?"
I couldn't stop myself smiling and annoying Marissa.
"Calla, Let's have this trip just for the two of us." Duke Claude added which makes things more annoying for Marissa.
"Thomas!"
Thomas took a step forward. "Please let Lady Marissa here to have a tour around Lennox Minor. "
Thomas bows "Yes, Milady." He then turns to Marissa. "Lady Marissa, this way please."
Lady Marissa tries to calm herself by taking a deep breath. Then she stood up and followed Thomas.
"And lady Marissa." Duke Claude called her and she stopped walking. She looked at Claude with her sparkly eyes. She must've expected something from Claude.
Duke Claude smirked. "Please do not wait for us. We will be out until tomorrow. "
I grinned upon seeing her face.
Mission to irritate Marissa, Success! Mission complete.
"Are done eating, Calla?"
"Ah! Yes!"
"Well then, let's go!
------
"Duke Claude, Lady Calla, we have arrived."
The doors of the carriage open and we have arrived at a popular store that tailors beautiful dresses.
"Duke Claude, what are we doing here?" I asked.
"For your wedding dress."
I flinched. Why the heck do I need a wedding dress?
Duke Claude went ahead. I tried to catch up but I tripped. I closed my eyes and tried to feel the hard ground but I felt an arm wrapped around my waist.
"Calla be careful if you don't want to get hurt." I could feel Duke Claude's warmth. This is what happens in Korean Dramas. A strange feeling occurs within me. Am I sick? Am I having a heart attack?
I have never felt this way before!
"Calla? Are you listening to me?" My eyes widen when Duke Claude's face is near mine.
"Du-Duke Claude! I-I apologize for my clumsiness." I stepped back and fixed my hair. I left Duke Claude and went in the store without looking back. I am afraid of what Duke Claude's reaction would be.
"Welcome to Angel's Tailoring Shop Lady Calla Victoria Antonette-Hamilton and Duke Claude Lennox."
A beautiful serious woman welcomed us as she bows. She seems strict like how my teachers are.
"It's wonderful to see you again, Hazel."
"And to you too, your grace. After all, your mother is my number 1 customer I ever had. Follow me."
Hazel leads us to a big dressing room. "Please sit. I will be gone for a moment to give my early wedding presents."
And she left me and the Duke alone. It was awkwardly silent but I need to break it.
"Duke Claude, what is our next step? It seems that Lady Marissa is not going anywhere. "
"It's fine. That person has not yet appeared. We need to make a move that will push Marissa at the edge."
