Embrace Of The Lucifer novel Chapter 11

August.

The day finally came to an end and there I was waking up from my bed after a long-time rest. Martha had strictly told me to rest as it was an order from master. I jerked up from bed and rushed towards the bathroom closing it behind me. I took a quick shower, brushed my teeth and wore my outfit and the matching heels. Ugh! How these heels irritate me a lot!

I closed the bedroom door behind me and went downstairs. When I reached the kitchen, I saw a man standing in front of the kitchen counter. I gasped and looked down in surprise. This caught his attention.

“Well, hello there.” He said in his deep tone. I just looked down. I didn’t know else what to do.

“H-hi sir, c-can I help y-you with so-something?” I stuttered. He chuckled and replied.

“You know you can look at me princess.” My jaw almost dropped. What did he just call me? A princess?

Instead, I did not reply and bit my lip in nervousness. This made him chuckle more.

“I just wanted a glass of water, if you don’t mind.” I nodded my head and quickly poured him water on a glass and handed him. Our hands touched a bit when I was offering him the glass of water, I quickly pulled away my hand. Although I was not looking at him, I could tell he was smirking at my reaction.

“My goodness is that you Ebenezer?” My eyes were wide in shock. He is Ebenezer Knight? I gulped in fear. Oh god what if he complains about me? I looked up to him and recognized. He was the guy from the party! Oh god!

“Hello Martha, how are you?” He said cheerfully before pulling her in a hug. She said to me once that he was a nice person and nice to her as well.

“Oh my dear you don’t know how much I missed you.” She exclaimed.

“I missed you too.” He smiled softly at her. I was shocked actually, there was no doubt he was extremely handsome, but it was always rare in rich persons, being so nice.

“Oh, you must have met her.” She said all of a sudden snapping me out of my thoughts.

“Yes, I did.” He replied smirking making me go red.

“August meet Ebenezer the second child of Knight family.” I forced a smile on my face.

“H-hello sir.” I greeted quietly.

“Hello August, you have a pretty name.” He said and winked at me. I gulped nervously; he was so weird. Or maybe I wasn’t used to much attention.

“Oh Ebenezer, don’t flirt with her, she is younger than you.” She said and laughed.

“Hey but I am just 25!”

“Yeah, and she is just 17.” She replied rolling her eyes. His jaw dropped at the floor.

“What? She is a minor Martha why she is even working?” I nervously shifted on my place.

“Well, she has some family problems. Anyways I was going to make your favorite food, now go to your room and freshen yourself, don’t be late you know Mr. Knight and Master Lucifer doesn’t like late comers.” He just nodded his head.
