The table was being arranged by the new maid. Zaiyila merely observed her; she didn't speak, but her gaze alone said everything as the maid moved up and down, organizing the table.
Everett's attention was solemnly fixed on Zaiyila, and he could already guess what was running through her mind. He couldn't help but smile.
"Come," he called softly.
Zaiyila immediately stood up and sat on his lap.
"You'll feed me?" she asked, blinking twice.
"As my Queen wishes," Everett responded and began feeding her.
The maid, now done setting the table, glanced at the couple briefly before quietly leaving.
Everett continued feeding Zaiyila until his phone suddenly started ringing. His brows furrowed slightly, but without moving from where he was, he answered the call on speaker.
"Boss, there's an important meeting that needs your presence right now!" a male voice announced.
"I'm busy," Everett replied without hesitation.
