"You should at least grab a gold coin before sneaking away from the residence. Works for me all the time." He winked at her.
She didn't know how to react to this but his smile is making her melt. She gave in and took the bangles, her fingers touched his cold hand and she couldn't help but blush.
"T-Thank you, young master." She bowed her head.
Damien chuckled softly, enjoying her flustered reaction. "You're welcome, Lumiere," he said, using her name for the first time. The sound of it on his lips felt strangely satisfying. He couldn't help but notice how her eyes sparkled behind the veil as she glanced up at him.
"It's a small gift, but I thought it would make you happy," he continued, his tone sincere. "You should indulge yourself every now and then, even if it's just a simple set of bangles."
