"Daemon! Daemon! Mr.President is awaiting your reply."
Over the phone, a voice could be heard calling out to Daemon.
"Are you still working? Isn't it already midnight at Xendale?" asked Derila.
"Mm, answered Daemon.
"It should be evening at Aymo City.Get rested after you arrive.I have a meeting."
"I will.Go back to work"
Derila said quickly.
"Kiss—"
Daemon was initially planning to request a kiss from her, but she hung up before he could finish his sentence.
All he could do was heave a sigh.
That woman.She sure is heartless.
Meanwhile, Derila was leaning against the back of her seat with her phone in hand as she got all giddy.
I never knew being in a romantic relationship felt so nice.
There is someone whose mind I'm always on and vice versa...She had never felt such bliss and sweetness before.
"I've never seen Mr.Lierger care so much about another person despite having been working with him for so many years"
Charles exclaimed with utmost sincerity.
"You're the first person to get him to do that, Ms.Feroma!"
"I will also be the last!"
Derila blurted out before being stunned by her own words.
The fact that I'm having such thoughts and starting to grow desires to claim him as my own means I've definitely fallen for him...
When they arrived at the villa, they found everything to be exquisite.
Daemon's style had always been that of exquisiteness, simplicity, and comfort.He never was after luxury and glamor, and all of his dwellings reflected his taste.
Derila liked the place.She could get a view of the sea from the balcony in her room.It was evening.
The brilliant rays of the setting sun shone on the ocean, its waves shimmering with breathtaking beauty.
After Charles and the other subordinates had settled down, they came to report back to Derila.
"Ms.Feroma, I will be heading to Phoenix City while Sloan and the remaining eight of them will stay to protect you.Do you perhaps have any other orders?"
Phoenix City? thought Derila.
It seems they've actually discovered my master's base, but I wonder if they'll be able to make him budge.She had hesitated if she should inform Charles of her relationship with Dr.Feroma, but eventually decided against it.
Master might feel more reluctant if I revealed our relationship.it would be better if Charles visited him as a stranger.
Master might just come to Aymo City if he deems Charles sincere enough.
After all, Phoenix City isn't too far away from Aymo City, and Master had some close acquaintances staying here.
Besides, he's a kind doctor despite his obstinance.
"Indeed.The doctor we found lives in Phoenix City, but we're still investigating the exact location of his dwelling, so I need to bring my men along" replied Charles.
"Doctors like him tend to live in seclusion on mountains.You can give that a try"
Derila offered him a tip.
"You're right.I'll look into it immediately"
Charles seemed to have gotten a grasp of something.
"I'll be heading off now.Get Sloan to run any errands that you might have."
"Okay.Go on"
Derila nodded.
Charles left in a hurry, but Derila stopped him as she recalled something.
"Hold on..."
Charles stopped in his tracks and turned around to look at her.
"Do you have any other orders, Ms.Feroma?"
"Don't tell the doctor who I am if you do get to meet him.Don't tell him my name and past either.Just inform him of my age and injury"
Derila instructed solemnly.
"Got it."
Charles nodded.
"Mr.Lierger had said the same thing.After all, you have a unique status now, so it would be better to keep a low profile when it comes to these things"
"Mm.You can leave now."
"Understood."
Charles left with his men.
The thought that she would soon be meeting her master again made Derila feel both expectant and uneasy.
While she wished to see her master and gain his approval, she was also worried that he might recognize her and still harbor a grudge against her.
She wouldn't know how to face him if that was the case.
