As Reed watched Emy walk into the building, Devin appeared in the passenger seat beside him. At the same time, he smiled and stared at Emy.
"Do you reject women in our world just because you want to be human?" Devin asked.
"It's none of your business, Devin," said Reed.
Devin turned to him with a smile. "You are putting yourself too low on that human," Devin said. "Why don't you return to the realm and search? You have yet to explore the kingdom; you have seen little."
"What are you doing here?" Reed asked.
"I'm here to find out what's keeping you busy instead of ruling the entire realm," said Devin. "If you don't want to, I'm here, ready to wear the crown in your place."
"Don't daydream, cousin," said Reed.
"I don't know why you try to seduce that woman so hard. I know she is beautiful, but what does she know about you?" Devin asked. "Do you think she'll like you if she knows what you are?"
"You don't even care about that. I know what I'm doing," said Reed.
Devin grin. "Remember, she is human. A human being will never accept a demon like you. No one chooses the demon."
Devin suddenly disappeared in front of Reed. He took a deep breath.

A few hours later, Emy received calls from her father. It surprised her to learn that Reed also gave her father a phone to contact her, but from time to time, her father calls even though she still has a client.
"There is a clubhouse near that unit so that the kids will enjoy the place," Emy said. "The school is also close, so it is not a hassle for the parents and the child."
The couple nodded. "The house looks nice, hon," said the woman.
"That's great, ma'am," Emy said. "You will not regret buying that,"
Each model house stands within the area. Her manager moved Emy to the site in order to increase sales. She also has a partner, Jasmin, who will tour the entire subdivision on their tour bus with the clients.
"In that case, can we see the actual unit?" the man asked.
"Yes, sir, please," Emy said. "There is a minicar waiting outside," she said, looking at Jasmin. "Jasmin, join Sir and Ma'am on tour."
"Okay," Jasmin said, smiling.
"Do your best, so you have a commission," Emy whispered.
"Yes, ma'am," Jasmin said.
Emy was sitting on the bed after her clients left. She took the phone out of her pocket and saw 20 missed calls and 25 text messages. Emy couldn't help but smile. She didn't know her father would be fond of using his new phone.
"What's their problem at home?" Emy asked herself, then dialed her father's number.
Emy's father answered her call in a few rings. "Hello, Tay. Why were you calling earlier? I'm sorry; I have a client, so I didn't answer.
"We are okay now," her father said. "I'm sorry, Emy. We don't know how to use the shower in the bathroom. Your siblings don't know how they will take a bath. Fortunately, the maid was here and taught us. I'm sorry if I disturbed you."
"It's okay, Tay," Emy said, smiling. "We don't have it at our old house. Anyway, have you eaten?"
"Yes, the maid, Maria, cooked a delicious lunch earlier," said Eddie.
"What are you doing now, Tay?" Emy asked.
"We watch on the big TV. Because of its size, it felt like we were in a movie theater. Your siblings were also astounded by the authenticity of the sounds." Eddie said, laughing.
Emy smiled. "Enjoy it, Tay. I'll call later."
"Okay, don't forget to eat," Eddie said. "Bye,"
Emy put her phone in her pocket, smiling. She couldn't even see, but she could imagine her family's situation without a bucket in the bathroom. She couldn't help but laugh.
"You look beautiful when you're smiling."
Emy glanced at the door leading to the model house room. Reed stood there with both hands in his pants pockets, leaning against the wall.
"What are you doing here?" Emy asked. "How did you know I was here?"
"I am watching you," said Reed.
Emy frowned. "Why?"
Reed approached Emy and bowed slightly until his face was in front of Emy, still sitting on the bed.
"Because I enjoy watching you," said Reed.
"What? Seriously?" Emy asked. "And do you have nothing else to do in life?" she asked, her gaze drawn away from him. "Do you work or maintain a busy schedule?
Instead of answering, Reed touches his lips to hers. 'Geez, here's his seductive kiss again,' Emy thought.
Reed secretly smiled as he read Emy's thoughts. Reed held the back of Emy's head and her back as he slowly laid her on the bed. He also took Emy's hand and hung it around his neck.
Without Emy's knowledge, Reed had laid her down, and her two hands were already dangling from his neck. Gradually, Reed's lips slid to her neck, her breathing getting heavier again. Reed's hand caressed Emy's waist as if measuring it.
"I didn't know you had a small waist," Reed whispered.
"W-what?" Emy exhaled sharply.
"Miss Emy?"
It was as if someone had poured cold water on Emy. She looked out the door, and there was her gay friend in the office.
"Are you sleeping?" Avery asked.
Emy swallowed, then stood up and moved slightly away from the bed. Reed suddenly disappeared above her. She turned around, and Reed was no longer in the room.
'Where did he go? He will suddenly appear, then vanish.' Emy thought.
"Ahm, no. I just tried to make sure the bed was comfortable," said Emy. She knew she was lame, but she couldn't think of anything else.
"O-okay," said Avery. "It's better that you go back to the office."
"Ah, okay, I'll follow you," Emy said. "I will just..."
The gay man frowned. Instead, Avery approached Emy and hugged her arm.
"To make sure you'll follow," said Avery.
Emy smiled. She was two years older than Avery, but they seemed to be the same age. Emy glanced around the room again before finally leaving, and she saw Reed at the door with a mischievous smile.
