Chapter 196

The managered returned with one from the stock and neatly placed it in a gift back and returned my credit card. "Here you go."

"Thank you, and here you go," I gave the phone to Silvia.

"Thank you mistress."

I turned around and faced the manager. "It's good that you have such wonderful employees such as Miss Carter over there," I said and the manager thanked me.

"Miss Valentine, it seems I was rude to you earlier."

Mr Bell and the rude employee came up to me, then started sucking up to me which no remorse for what they did. Asking me to pardon their blunder, the employee requested that she take care of my business."

"But you should fire this one, A rep who has no respect for a customer will only bring your business crumbling down," I recommended

The girl started becoming pale when the manager looked at her with disdainful eyes.

"You're fired, clear out immediately before I kick you out myself."

"I'm sorry ma'am you have to forgive me, I really need this job."

"Didn't you hear what I said? Get out!"

And so the woman was dragged out by security and thrown out on the streets. After the door closed, the fired rep banged against the door, bawling to get back in.

"Is that good enough for you Mr Valentine?"

"It's okay, You can return to your work, Thank you for your services," I took a polite bow and walked away. I stopped midway to the door and looked at my belly and his woman who were quivering in fear.

"Mistress, do you need me to take care of them?" Silvia inquired

"They're not worth it."

And so we left, Silvia and I travelled to my favourite pastry shop.

"Mistress, is there where you go to eat cake?" she asked.

"Yeah...Huh..."

She has a sad expression on her face.

"Don't worry, it doesn't matter. Your cakes will always be special to me and I'm dying to try it," I said with a smile.

"I'll bake the greatest cake for you," Silvia said.

"First you'll have to master the oven first fufufufu."

We walked into the pastry shop.

"Ah, the princess," the manager greets me. "Hello Mr Esteban."

"I have a very special cake for my very special customer."

"Is it chocolate?"

"hohoho, indeed it is."

Silvia and I got two slices of chocolate cake. She looked at the cake before trying and slowly ate it.

"How is it?" I asked.

"It's mild but not truly worthy of my mistress."

"Come on, it's delicious," I said.

We ate together till our stomachs were full, so we decided to leave. There was a commotion taking place outside.

"No, he's on a date with me."

"No, I'm the one."

"Fufufufu you girls don't know what you're talking about he's on a date with me."

Three girls were fighting over one boy, and that boy just had to be Bradley. The three girls fighting over him are his childhood friend Elle, the little white haired one called Fray and there seems to be a new one, a girl with dark blue hair and blue eyes. Looking at her, she seems to be wearing a working outfit, but I have a feeling she's not an ordinary office worker but a wealthy one.

"Hey Roselina," Bradley broke free of them and ran up to me. "It's good to see you, how have you been?"

"But we saw each other this morning."

He started to sweat ceaselessly.

"Oh I see what you're doing?" I giggled again.

"Oh, it's Roselina," Elle called out.

"You're Roselina Valentine of the Valentine Family."

"And you are?"

"Rachael Korbowski, I'm telecommunications manager at Valentine Enterprise."

"What are you doing here, are you supposed to be at work? I wondered.

"It's my day off, Miss," she replied.

"I see, well then you four carry one, I have places to visit."

Silvia opened the car door for me.

"Hey Roselina, Are you sure you don't want to hang out with us?" Elle asked.

"I'm sorry, maybe some other," I said, then I got in the car.

"Mistress, you should stay away from that boy?"

"You mean Bradley, He may be charming and heroic, but that's not enough to sway me. A lot of time has passed and my uninterested in men hasn't changed and neither has yours."

"Of course it hasn't, it was a man who took you away from me."

Poor Silvia, I can't tell you that I'm actually a guy on the inside.

....

"How come you know the sister of our CEO," Rachael wondered.

"It's a long story, We just started talking and became friends," Bradley said, recalling the last.

"She's very nice, not like any of those rich girls we've met," Said Elle, thinking about Roselina.

'Yes, if I can become friends with her I'm up for a promotion,' Racheal thought to herself.

"Come Bradley, let's go!" Elle grabbed his hand and dragged it away.

Fray grabbed his hand. "No, he's on a date with me," she stated.

"No, He's with me!""

The three of them started fighting over him again.

.....

We stopped by Kelly's company.

"Welcome to Valentine Enterprise," I expressed.

"This is Kelly's Stronghold?" Silvia asked in bewilderment.

"Not a stronghold, a business. She has made a Multi-billion dollar company that focuses on Telecommunications, Trading, Network and even in the Advertising Industry," I explained.

"She has made a name for her."

"Yep, she has... and I'm very proud of her "

We walked into the elevator and I pressed 1 for the top floor.

"I guess in this era Kelly has grown more superior than me," Silvia muttered, envious of Kelly's success.

"Oh don't say that, it does matter who offers more than the other, I'm my eyes you're both special," I consoled her.

"Thank you for your kind words, mistress. Forgive me for asking but why does everyone think that you're Kelly's younger sister?" she wondered.

"Actually it's for cover. If our real relationship is revealed it would be complete and since I look younger than Kelly and since we share the same colour eyes, hair and the same name, we decided on the sisterly relationship," I explained.

"I see..."

The elevator stopped and we walked towards Kelly's office where she was having a meeting with someone.

"Oh, big sister am I interrupting?" I wondered.

"No, it's alright, in fact they were just leaving. Isn't that right?" Kelly looked at them men with cold eyes which made them sweet in fear.

"Right right."

"We'll be taking our leaves now."

They left in nervousness and uneasiness.

"Is something the matter?" I asked concernedly.

"Something happened to one of the cargo of specially made porcelain I requested, the container was lost at sea. Damn that cost me over 2 million," Kelly said.

"You seem tense, why don't you sit down?" I suggested.

"Thank you mistress, Silvia, how are things on your end?" Kelly asked.

"I'll be staying at the mistress' side 24/7 and provide her with anything she needs."

"That's good, I've prepared some documents for you beforehand as I did with my mistress," Kelly handed her a folder and a book that is identical to the log book she gave me.

"Is that the copy of the book you gave me?" I wondered.

"Yes mistress all that has happened, including since you were awakened 2 months again," she explained.

Seriously, how did she find time to write it? Speaking of time.

"Silvia when you were under that man's control was he the one who sent men after my coffin," I asked.

"I'm ashamed to say that I don't know.

"I see."

"But I was hearing things the entire time, The one who was after your casket is Gustov and Cromwell and also Drake."

"What?"

"What !?"

Kelly and I became surprised.

Drake, I remember the son of a b*tch too well.

"Why do the people I kill never stay dead?" I clenched my fist in anger.

"If he's out there that would explain the carnage, his faction was always experimenting on how to become stronger, if he's back then things are going to be chaotic."

Kelly removed her glasses. "But we have more important things to focus on, isn't that the right mistress," she turned her gaze to me.

I couldn't help but take a sip of tea.

"What's going on?" Silvia asked concernedly.

"Mistress received another mission from the goddess to prevent the return of the demon lord Lucifer."

"What?" Silvia gasped in surprise.

"Mistress, you can't be serious."

"It's what I have to do."

"No, no, no, I've waited 606 years for you to return, I refuse to let you go again," Silvia said.

"Silvia came here."

Silvia sat down beside me and I rested her head in my lap.

"Come here Kelly."

"Yes mistress."

I laid Kelly's head on my right leg and silvia on my left leg. "Rest assure Silvia, Kelly, the times that I've been away from you girls, I'll make for it 10 fold, I'll love and pamper you girls for all of eternity," I reassured them.

...

Kelly and Silvia felt at peace when Roselina gently patted their heads. They felt the bliss of the moment and wished it would last forever.

"Mistress, please don't leave us again," Silvia said.

"Don't worry I won't, we're going to travel the world, eat the tastiest treats, drink expensive wines. Don't you agree Silvia, kelly?" Roselina asked and they both replied simultaneously.

"Mistress."

"Yes silvia."

"We love you too."

"Yes we love you as well mistress," Kelly said.

Heading that from Silvia, Roselina remembered the message sent to them that day. Roselina smiled with happiness and continued to pet their heads.
