My Assassin's Void Heart novel Chapter 40

~*~*~*~*~

"That was awesome..." she says in satisfaction. "Too bad you lost. You're it next time" Jax laughs. "You just cheated that's all" she pouts. "Yes yes" he jokes, laughing.

"Sir, Ma'am, your orders have arrived. Shall we fetch it for you?" the guard appears on their doorstep. "Order?" he asks. And before he could stand up, a figure ran past him. Running past the guard and straight to the gates in great speed.

"That's Fae isn't it" Evalyn raises an eyebrow. "Pretty sister.. You're too... fast..." the duo heard Fleur stop as she falls on her knees, catching her breath. "Yep, it's our dear Fae" Evalyn giggles.

"I'm back" the trio heard a familiar voice. Turning around, they saw four large pizzas on her hands. "Fae... Pizza. Again??" Jax facepalms. "For dinner" she exclaims, raising a thumbs up.

Going straight to the kitchen, Evalyn bursts out laughing, Fleur and Jax left dumbfounded in place.

-

"No need to cook dinner" Jax informs the maids, as they nod in response. "Last time you brought three large pizzas. Now four. Just... wow... You surprise me in many ways I can't describe Fae" he sighs, shaking his head in defeat.

"Shorpwishe??" Fae asks, pizza on her mouth. "Don't talk when you're eating" he sighs. "Yesh shir" she answers gulping her slice of pizza. And on to grab another slice of it.

"Yummy..." she says in satisfaction.

-

"I'm full" Fae says standing up, and off to go outside, opening the doors and closing it afterwards. "I'll wash the dishes" Fleur offers.

"Don't worry about it kiddo, go and wash yourself and go to sleep. You've got school tomorrow right?" Jax smiles. "Yes sir" she nods, then excuses herself and proceeds upstairs to wash herself.

"Then I'll excuse myself too" Evalyn states, him nodding in response. Standing up, she went towards the doors. Opening it as she goes outside.

"Did you just say... fun? You were having fun?" Evalyn blinks, reconfirming what she just heard. "Yes?" she tilts her head, confused. 'Fae? Is having fun?? But she can't...' Evalyn shook her head.

"Ahem. How were you having fun?" she asks. "Like the paperworks and making coffee for the CEO. Evie, we have the same taste in terms of coffee sugar temperament" Fae answers.

'Liam Ghate? Came to think of it, he only wants her coffee' she thought, staring at the humming Fae. "Suspicious..." she muttered. "What?" Fae asks. "No, it's nothing. Let's go, we still got work tomorrow" Evalyn shakes the topic off, her friend nodding.

-

"Where's Fleurie?" Fae asks. "On her room ma'am" one of the maids answered. "Thank you" she nods, as the duo enter Fleur's room. "Oh, she fell asleep" Evalyn whispers. "Seems like it. Let's go then" Fae whispers back.

Closing the door behind them, Evalyn sighs. "Well then, try not to stay up late. Good night Fae" Evalyn waves good night, Fae waving back. "Now sleep sleep time..." Evalyn yawns, stretching as she enters her room.

Her friend out of sight, Fae looked up the ceiling. "Having fun... happy.. excitement... Why... I don't understand them" she muttered through her expressionless eyes.
