Azriel let out a muffled profanity when he felt the cold air hitting his still sleepy body, he reached out his hand, still half-asleep with his eyes close, to try and find where his goddamn blanket was.
Another profanity left his lips when he couldn't feel the object he was looking for. With a little grumble, he sat up and rubbed his half-lidded eyes, before looking around to find the thick piece of cloth.
He let out a loud yell when someone straddled his lap and forced him to lay back down. His eyes immediately went wide, his body tense as he looked at his attacker on top of him.
A woman wearing his mansion's maid clothing, long black hair, brown eyes and pink lips. His eyebrow furrowed "Who are you?! And what are you doing in my room?!" he growled out.
The woman placed a finger on his lip, signaling him to shut up. He pointedly looked at her with his eyes and opened his mouth, biting her finger. She immediately pulled her hands away "I live to serve you master" she purred in delight.
Azriel watched her in horror as she started grinding on him, a shiver of disgust ran through his spine before he quickly turned their position around.
He had the woman pinned under him, the said woman smirked as if she won but he quickly stood up and got away from the bed and he went outside, away from the crazy woman.
"Martin!" he yelled out on the rafters of the second floor, in an instant the 59-year old butler appeared "May I ask what is wrong young master?" he politely asked.
"Why the fuck is there a maid in my room?!" he seethed and the butler looked confused before making his way up the stairs.
Unbeknownst to him, his yelling woke up someone just across his bedroom. Nesryn let out a sigh upon hearing Azriel's voice. She started cursing the man in her head for waking her up.
She was able to strip her used clothes away before sleeping leaving her in a pair of her undies. She threw on a shirt, it reached her mid-thigh before putting on a night robe and went out of her room.
The first thing she did was Azriel's bedroom door opened, she made her way towards Azriel and found him waiting for Martin -the family butler- to reach the top of the stairs.
She placed a hand on his shoulder and he immediately tensed up before turning around. A sigh of relief immediately left his system as his body relaxed upon seeing her.
He quickly wrapped his arms around her and pulled her to him, instantly burying his nose on her neck and letting her scent calm him down. Nesryn stood there in his arms, confused.
Martin made his way to his master's room and came face-to-face with the said maid, who was about to escape.
His 30 years military training immediately kicked into action, he grabbed the woman's hands and forced them to her back, he took his handkerchief before making it an impromptu cuffs and led the woman away from his master's room.
The butler and maid walked past Azriel and Nesryn.
The maid scowled at the sight and lunged at Nesryn, pulling her away from Azriel by the hair, Nesryn let out a shriek before falling down on the ground with a hard thud.
Azriel stared at Nesryn before his eyes turned to the maid, his hazel eyes ignited with fury. He quickly pried the woman's hand away from Nesryn's hair.
"I am against raising a hand on girl but you...you dare hurt MY woman?!" he seethed, his hand turning into a fist, forcing himself not to attack the woman that hurt his beloved.
Nesryn immediately stood up, despite the pain that shot through her whole body, she suppressed a wince forming, wrapping her arms around Azriel and whispering soothing words on his ear to calm him down.
Soon enough his tense body calmed down on her touch and he focused his gaze on the woman in his arms.
"Take her away, let the law deal with her Martin, for breaching the contract" The woman let out a whimper, scared at the amount of ferocity her employer showed.
She has never seen this before, she was hired only a month ago and was told to how to act but upon laying her eyes on the handsome man, she couldn't help but fantasize being Mrs. Evanders.
She thought that with Azriel's reputation being a womanizer she would easily get into his bed and have her way with him, thus she waited for a moment, memorizing his schedule. She expected to catch him alone but he was always with a woman named Nesryn.
She asked about her from her colleagues but they would just give her a gentle smile upon hearing their master's secretary's name and leave her alone.
She took her chance when the family butler announced that their master was sleeping, thinking no one would catch her.
The woman shivered in fear as she could still feel the glare making a hole on the back of her head as she and the butler descended the stairs. She glanced back at the man on top of the stairs and saw him pull the woman in for a deep kiss.
With that action, she instantly knew the connection between the two 'Ms. Nesryn is the future Mrs. Evanders' she whispered sadly to herself, before looking away.
Azriel kept Nesryn in his arms, the two pulled back from the kiss and panted heavily. "Why don't we get you back to sleep?" he whispered, tucking a loose hair behind her ear.
Her eyes were still a little glossy but she slowly nodded. He let her go, placing a hand on her back before leading her back.
A hiss stopped them in their tracks and Azriel immediately looked at his beloved "What's wrong? Are you hurt? Did she hurt you?" he berated her with questions and she looked at him with loving eyes.
"I am fine, thank you for caring, it's just my lower back hurts after being dragged down to the floor" she muttered and Azriel's eyes widened.
"Come now, let's get you back to your room so I can massage it," he said before scooping her up in bridal style. She opened her mouth to protest but was immediately shut up with a kiss "I don't want to see you hurt" he whispered, walking back to her room.
He slowly placed her down on the bed, letting her crawl under the covers again, before removing her night gown, her lower half buried under the blankets, blocking her underwear from his view.
He straddled her legs before massaging her lower back. She let out a low mewl and relaxed under his touches.
In the end, Nesryn fell asleep, holding one of Azriel's hand tightly on her chest. He had no choice but to sleep in the bed with her, he placed a soft kiss on her forehead before pulling her body closer to his, an arm around her waist and he went to sleep.
The two were able to spend half of the day sleeping, this time Nesryn was the first to wake up and just spent an entire hour on tracing Azriel's face while humming a happy tune.
Azriel moved a bit but didn't let her go. The only thing that could prove that he was awake was his hands running through her brown locks.
The two enjoyed the peaceful silence before getting up for lunch. Azriel went back to his room to put on a shirt and Nesryn put on her favorite sweatpants before going downstairs to the dining hall.
The maids quickly pulled out a chair for her and served her a plate filled with Korean-style food, consisting of kimchi fried rice with sunny-side up egg , 3 pieces of egg rolls, seaweed soup, grilled meat and array of side dishes.
She waited for Azriel to appear before she started eating. Once seated the maids served Azriel the same thing, before saying their thanks the two dug down the food, starved from having missed breakfast.
The two chatted about normal things during lunch. Azriel forbade talking about the company for their whole rest day.
Azriel headed to his room on the phone with his grandmother and Nesryn made her way to the mansion's library, sneaking in with her laptop before placing it on the table and picking out a book before sitting down on an armchair elegantly and opened the book.
She slung her legs over one of the arms of the chair, leaning on the other arm and burying her nose on the book.
Time passed by quickly without her knowing, the next thing she knew, she was sitting back at her desk in the company, focused on the task at hand on her computer.
Attendant Yun accompanied Azriel into an emergency meeting with the board of directors while Nesryn worked on checking over the annual reports among these includes the company's total sales revenue.
She would take a five minute break every time she finishes a part, letting her eyes and mind rest for a couple of minutes before going into the battlefield again.
She immediately stood up when Azriel came in, she quickly took 4 folders from her table and went inside his office.
She slowly placed the folders on his desk when suddenly Azriel grabbed a vase from the side and threw it on the wall, shattering it to pieces. Nesryn stared at her boss and just let him be for now.
She walked towards the pantry and grabbed a couple of old saucers before walking back to Azriel's side and handed it to him, before stepping on the side.
She watched as Azriel threw each saucer, she pulled out her phone and called someone "Yes hello, I am sorry for calling to see it's lunch but can I place an order?.....yes...your brand new tea sets please...in black and white...5 orders please...yes thank you, I'll send you the money...thank you so much" she hung up the call and crossed her arms.
Nesryn waited for a few minutes before walking back to Azriel's desk, grabbing him by the arm and sitting him down, the man breathed heavily as his emotions finally settled down.
"The old geezers have been bribed by my grandmother to convince me to go back home!" he whined, stretching both arms in front of him.
Nesryn raised an eyebrow at him "I thought something bad happened" she murmured under her breath before walking back to the pantry and quickly whipping him up a relaxing tea paired with apple cookies with cinnamon powder, a spice that calms the nerves.
Nesryn watched as he slumped on his seat, completely calmed down from the earlier event, she called the cleaning staff and had the shards of glass cleaned up and the water mopped.
She personally thanked the staff by the door and let them get back to their work. "Please sign these documents after having thoroughly read them, I've already read and checked it myself but it's your final decision on the matter" she politely said while scrolling through her iPad, checking his schedule.
"Fortunately your emergency meeting didn't affect your other schedule and you are to meet Mr. Angelo for lunch" she said, looking back at her boss, who's still nibbling on the last cookie.
"Can I have 3 more?" he asked, showing his empty cookie saucer but Nesryn shook her head, earning a pout from the big man, "You have lunch, we don't want you ruining your appetite right?" she reprimanded him like a little boy.
Her phone vibrated, she excused herself and left answering the phone call and writing down the details of the call before hanging up.
After inputting the call on her iPad, putting in the details of the clientele's meeting for research later in the day. Azriel's schedule has been booked for the whole month till the first six months of the next year.
So yes, the clientele that called earlier are scheduled to meet with her boss at June of the new year. 15 minutes before 12 pm she made her way back to Azriel's office and took his coat from the coat hanger.
"Time to go" she whispered softly to the man. He removed his reading glasses and hair tie before putting on his coat.
"The documents are signed," he said, looking at the mirror before fixing his long hair. Nesryn took the said folders and they both got out of the office, Nesryn instructed the lobby to call for the driver before leaving the folders on her desk.
The two boarded the elevator and made their way down, Azriel handed Nesryn his phone before the door opened.
Several employees bowed their head in greeting and Azriel just sent them a nod before meeting with the driver who immediately opened the car door, Nesryn was about to make her way to the passenger seat when he grabbed her and directed her to the back seat.
She furrowed her eyes at him in warning but went in nonetheless, followed by Azriel. The driver immediately boarded the car and hit the road, leaving behind a company that started spreading rumours about what happened amongst themselves.
This was the situation Attendant Yun came back to after finishing a meeting.
He quickly dismissed those rumours and ordered the employees to either go get their lunch or go back to work. A lot of people went out of the company building that time, making sure to keep their mouths shut.
What happened in the company grounds will stay in the company grounds, that's one of the rules in their contract.
Nesryn made herself busy by scrolling through her iPad, not really used to being in such close proximity with Azriel in a car with a driver before.
She subtly gave him looks and found him staring outside the window, she glanced at the driver to see him focused on the road. She slowly inched her hand closer to his and held his hand.
Azriel turned to look at her but she kept her gaze on the iPad, a smile made its way on his face as he intertwined their fingers together before lifting it to his lips and placing a kiss on it.
A red blush colored Nesryn's pale cheeks and let out a fake cough to hide her face better using her hair
