Mistress Phantomhive | The Next Phantomhive: Book 2 |

•|20|•

Before I begin, I would like to deeply apologized if I had disappeared for over a year or so without a heads up. So many things just happened, especially in school...

The Pandemic was just rough, and experience so many trials that I thought I would loose in.

This was a very tough time, for all of us. I hope all of you guys are doing alright.

To you readers who have remained loyal and waited patiently for an updated, and to the readers who were unable to reach the update-

I dedicate this and return to you.

"How are the twins?" (Name) questioned as Sebastian entered her office.

"They've been sent to their rooms and Zymon is taking care of them. They seem to feel a bit better compared to their state earlier" Sebestian replied as strided towards her. He could hear the mistress let out a sigh of relief.

"Although" he continued, "I couldn't say for certain since I'm not that profound with Half-breeds, and have no interest in understanding more about their strange anatomy. Nevertheless my lady, are you sure it is a good idea to be working after coming home from a trip? You haven't even unpacked your luggage and checked on Grell."

"Unpacking can be done later" She responded as she began scanning a book she was reading. "Besides, I'm sure your presence is enough to heal up Grell."

Sebastian scowled a bit at her remark. He clicked his tongue.

"What is it you're reading my lady?" He then questioned, changing the subject, as he stood behind her. Though oddly, she simply ignored his presence and focused on the book. He rose a brow seeing as the Mistress is back again with her cold shoulder. With his lips curling into a mischievous smirk, he leaned closer to her ear and whispered. "Are we playing hard to get my lady?"

The mistress let out a yelp as she stepped away from him. Though her brows were knitted together, he could see that he had made her flustered. "Behave yourself Sebastian!" (Name) scolded. "You're acting like a needy pet!"

Sebastian backed away from the mistress and bowed, "I understand your reluctance my lady."

She shot him a glare, then focused back into her textbooks. As she slumped back unto her seat, she continued reading through the mountain of books. Her expression hardened as she flipped through the pages- brows knitted in frustration as she scanned through numerous pages.

"My lady, what bothers you?" Sebastian questioned 

She glanced up, "Didn't I tell  you to leave?"

"You only ordered me to behave myself" Sebastian replied.

(Name) grumbled at his response. The butler rose a brow.

"I suggest you need to take a break my lady" He spoke as he slowly placed his hands on her shoulders and began on massaging them. "You've been through a lot these past few days. Even coming back from this trip my lady, you instantly devided to burry your you nose in these pages."

"Aren't you accustomed to that of me Sebastian?" (Name) spoke, lightly squirming at the massage her butler gave. Though his hands may have bathed in blood of many and ended beasts and man a like, his hands can do more wonders than just kill.

"My your shoulders are stiff... I suggest a whole body massage is needed-"

(Name) quickly shot another glare at him. The peaceful moment was one again ruined by his advances. "Sebastian" she warned.
