I stared hopefully at the timer counting down.
Maybe... Maybe they won't tell me. Then, Hyori will be mine to punish."
Sebastian looked up at me, obviously hearing my plan.
He frowns, looking at the time remaining. 'Twenty seconds...'
My LOYAL head butler then proceeds to whisper," How devious a plan! I didn't expect that from you, young master!!"
Hyori looks up, frowning and sharing a look with Sebastian. She, after that, looks straight into my uncovered eye and says," I was going to tell him what you said to me last night."
Simple, yet the confession leaves me feeling small.
Sebastian's stare flicks between us both (possibly trying to put the words together), then he says," What the bloody Hell did you say, C- young master!!?"
He first glares, then frowns at me - his statement didn't sound as threatening with the variation of my title he used.
I laugh (a bit uncontrollably) and he frowns angrily - I chuckle louder, as he looks like an enraged puppy.
He lets out a frustrated sigh and turns quickly to Hyori.
"Mrs. Nikita? What did my MASTER-" Here he glared at me and turned back to his 'lover'... "-tell you last night?"
Hyori glanced at me, an uneasy expression locked on her face.
"Uh...ummm. He told me... I was very pretty..."
Sebastian gaped at us, then begins to laugh. Through the funny noises he made, he was able to blurt out," That's IT?!"
I felt rage boil up inside me.
"No, BUTLER! That's not it . I was nervous- I meant to say that she was BEAUTIFUL..."
Sebastian immediately stopped laughing, casting a look at my guest. Seeing how she'd respond, it seemed. Lady Hyori's face was a red as a tomato. Perhaps...perhaps...
Was she embarrassed?
