Spicy Brat...

Ivan just nodded his head and was about to say something when someone interrupted him by knocking on the door and when he saw the face of the person, his eyebrows furrowed in confusion…

"Good morning Ivan and Brian." The girl who had just entered Ivan's cabin greeted both of the men with a bright smile.

"Hi.. Good morning." Brian replied with a small smile.

Ivan narrowed his eyes at the girl who was looking extremely beautiful in her white floral print dress and asked, "What are you doing in my cabin so early in the morning, Elysia?"

Elysia walked towards his desk and asked, "Well, won't you at least tell me to take a seat like a proper gentleman?"

Ivan sighed and murmured to himself in a low voice, "She is behaving like... if I don't ask her to sit then she would listen to me silently like a good girl. Humph!"

Elysia who had a frown on her face, watching Ivan murmuring something in an inaudible voice, asked, "Uhmm… What did you say?"

"Nothing. Do have a seat. But don't make yourself comfortable here." Ivan whispered the last line to himself so that Elysia couldn't hear anything.

"Sorry?" Elysia's frown deepened.

Ivan just shook his head and gestured her to sit on the chair in front of his desk.

Elysia sat there gladly and said, "As you have asked me before about the reason of me coming here, I'm going answer it now."

Nodding his head, Ivan said, "Start then."

Inhaling a sharp breath, Elysia said, "Thank you.."

Ivan felt like he heard something unbelievable in his life which he could never have predicted from someone like Elysia.

Only one thought was roaming inside his mind, 'Is she trying pull a prank on me early in the morning?'

Elysia stared at him in astonishment as he was behaving abnormally and spoke out loud, "Are you even listening to me?"

Ivan came out of his wonderland and shooed off those stupid thoughts before replying, "Yes.. I am."

Nodding her head at him, Elysia again said, "Thanks a lot Ivan."

Ivan just arched both of his eyebrows and asked, "What for?"

"For helping me yesterday and trusting me over them." Elysia said.

"It was my duty as the CEO of this big company to protect my artists. I didn't do any favor to you. So you don't have to say thanks to me...

Moreover, don't think too much high of yourself because of yesterday. As I would have done that to any of my other artists too." Ivan said shrugging his shoulders.

Elysia rolled her eyes and retorted back at him with a smirk, "You too don't fly in cloud nine as I too would have say thanks to anyone who would have helped me."

Saying this, Elysia turned towards Brian and thanked him with a gracious smile, "Thank you very much Brian. I'll be forever grateful to you."

Brian didn't know what to reply so he just cleared his throat awkwardly.

Smiling at her way then, he said, "Ahhh… it's okay Ms. Elysia. You can ask me for any kind of help anytime."

Elysia shot him a grin full of gratitude and left from there while Ivan just glared at his assistant who looked at everywhere but not at him.

Ivan then forced himself to gaze at his desktop screen and muttered, "Is this how she shows her gratitude to me, leaving my cabin without even uttering a bye?

Huh!! Spicy brat!"

On the other side, as soon as Elysia walked out of Ivan's cabin, her jaw tightened in anger as she felt to punch his nose with full of force.

"What does he actually think of himself? A powerful king of a whole kingdom? Humph! King, my foot!

I just went to say thanks to him and look at the way he behaved to me. He doesn't even have any manners to speak with a beautiful girl like me. Humph!" Elysia growled in anger.
