Chapter 5 - (Do I Look Like I Lack Of Something?!)

Loisa was a bit surprised at why he put his pen down. She often thought that the Duke was only a kind of person who knows work and nothing else. But she shakes her head as she gathered her courage and says the sentence such as... "Let's get a Divorce."

The duke smiled and asked Loisa "What do you mean by that? or don't tell me is there something I lack?"

Loisa quickly shakes her head and starts to sweat nervously.

"Would you like some Shiniest gems? Would you like some gold? Do you want to buy something perhaps? Or would you rather want to buy land? I can give it to you so let's just forget about you asking for a divorce, Shall we?" said the duke, who kept staying calm and smiling at Loisa.

Loisa shakes her head and answers, "No, It's not that."

"Then what is it? Am I not attractive enough?" sarcastically said by the duke to Loisa.

Loisa shakes her head because she knew that she fell in love with him. After all, his smiles make her fall in love with him in a blink of an eye. She also knew that the duke never cheated nor beat her up. He is a gentleman but he is a workaholic and cold sometimes. But the reason she had a conclusion about Divorcing him was...

"I only Forced you to get married to me and it must have been unfair for you. Especially knowing you never married the one you love it must hurt you a lot," said Loisa while forcing herself not to cry.

But a tear fell from her eyes and the duke gently wipes it with his hands and said "Who said I was forced? I am not unhappy. I was happy I got married to a person like you. I am lucky to have you."

It warms Loisa's heart as she suddenly couldn't control her tears from falling.

"I am sorry. This is so embarrassing," said Loisa but the duke shakes his head.

"Not at all." said the duke.

All of a sudden Haren Garald, the Duke's secretary entered the room accidentally and saw both Loisa and the duke close. Haren blushed and excuse himself but the duke let him in and Loisa bowed and left the office.

The smile that was on the duke's face earlier disappeared in an instant as they talk about business. But a few minutes later, Haren laughed and stared at the duke as he said "Oh my, the Duke looks good with smiles"

The duke glared at Haren but it was not an ordinary glare. His glares look like death will come to the person he was glaring at. It made Haren shiver in fear and quickly said "It was all just a joke don't be too mad!!"

The duke ignored his words and continued reading the files in his hands but he remembered something and so he asked haren... "Haren, do I look like I lack something?"

Haren nervously laugh as he scratches his neck and said: "Is this a threat, my duke?"

The duke took a knife from his drawer and stab the table as he angrily smiled at Haren and said "Oh, well it was not a threat at first but if I lose my patience it might become one. SO JUST ANSWER THE QUESTION EARLIER!!!"
