Versailles Series Book 9: The Lawyer [COMPLETED]

CHAPTER 20

H E R A

I opened my eyes and the first thing I noticed was my curtains that were not drawn. My room was dark that I didn't know what time it was. Day it was. Kinapa ko ang cellphone ko pero wala iyon sa kama ko. Nang tignan ko ang bedside table ko ay may baso at mga gamot doon. Everything came back to me. Napahawak ako sa sentido ko nang maramdaman ang pitik doon. Someone was with me last night. Must be someone from the building.

I stood up and realised I was still dressed in my office suit. The blazer was gone but other than that, I am still fully clothed and nothing else is aching aside from my head. I stripped bare and had a quick shower. As I was wrapping myself in my dressing robe, I snatched the note on one of my bigger plushies.

Got one of your royal corgis, you Royal Ice Queen-ness. I shall return a suitable replacement. - LL

My brows furrowed. What the hell? Sinalakay ng kaba ang dibdib ko. Wala akong kilala na L.L. Ang initials.

I went out and my furniture and appliances are still there. In the kitchen, there was a pot with another note on it.

Just put some in a bowl and reheat in the microwave. I hope it works because your kitchen doesn't look like it is getting used. -LL

LL? Who-

My eyes saw my phone on the counter and I snatched it up only for it to fall on the floor.

Shit. I picked it up and looked at my phone's wallpaper. L.L. Fucking stands for Laurent Llamanzares. The jerk had the guts to change my phone's wallpaper with his face, something I never changed since I bought my phone three years ago.

I picked up the note that fell on the floor.

You're not robbed, your Ice Queen-ness. I actually took care of you. A kiss will suffice for your gratitude. But since I made sure your pretty head is fine before I go, how about taking care of my head too? *wink* Also, change your pin will you? Try my birthday.

I sighed before smiling at myself. I was relieved it was not some person I let in my home. Maybe Enteng is not as bad as someone I don't know. May sakit na ako at lahat napakalandi pa rin nito.

I sent Enteng an emoji of the middle finger before I heated the porridge. Did he buy this or... The trashcan contents answered my question. Looks like he prepared this one from scratch.

He answered almost immediately. Good morning to you too, Ice Queen. How's your head? And why are you sending me fingers? Are you sending me SOME message? *wink*

Pervert. But I'm feeling better. Hmm...I'm not Hot-torney anymore? I replied before sitting on the counter to eat the porridge. I am famished.

You're still hot, don't get me wrong. But your coldness is on a different level too and you have royal guards surrounding you in your room. *wink*

I bit my lip to stop myself from grinning. Somehow, allowing him to see my bedroom isn't as embarrassing as I thought it would be. You dog-napped one of my royal guards.

I'll be sending one soon, Ice Queen. I'm just wrapping it in my warmth and scent. I know how that drives you crazy.

I shook my head. The arrogance of this bastard should be studied. It's off the scales. I sent him another finger emoji before he replied with a kissing emoji.

I stared at my empty bowl. I just realised what I was doing. I shook my head. Damn it. I can't be flirting with Enteng Llamanzares. With that thought, I remembered something.
