His Highness’ Secret Accountant Chapter 32

Who knows if she is going to throw off the low-rank maid's uniform and rise to the top?

Ayla, who had a pretty smile, turned the corners of her mouth downwards for a mont.

Since she ended up reinvestigating her father's case, she thought a hole would appear; but on the other hand, she also wondered if her father really touched the treasury.

Can she really face the truth calmly?

Thump.

A steaming mug was placed in front of Ayla, who was lost in thought.

Looking up, Lily was smiling.

"It's peppermint tea. When you have a lot of worries, there is nothing like this."

***

It was a day no different from usual.

As the maid who served Theon's tea returned, she no longer had to go to His Highness' office.

Her morning tasks consisted only of preparing Owen's bath and tidying up his bedroom.

Theon, who seed to be working on a huge secret project right now, has been untraceable for days.

"Well, since he spoke so seriously, I thought it was sothing huge."

"What?"

On their way to Owen's residence, Lily stared at Ayla, who was talking to herself, with a strange expression.

Perhaps because the palace had beco fairly comfortable, Ayla's habits were coming out unconsciously.

Whenever that happened, Lily, who was unfamiliar with that side of Ayla, gave an embarrassed reaction.

"Young Lady You are really weird these days. You keep talking to yourself openly and saying things you don't usually say. You're being a little scary now."

"Again with the young lady. Just call Ayla, we're the sa age anyway."

"Ah It beca a habit. Hehe. if we were sowhere else, how would I dare to speak to the Young Lady of the Count's family like this? I am comfortable with this. Hehe."

"Anyway, just"

"Oh, right! I will bring the laundry I washed yesterday. Go on first, Ayla!!"

Lily stopped talking to Ayla and ran towards the end of the hallway, saying she was going to get the laundry.

Looking at her back, Ayla muttered, Just relax a little.'

Arriving early in the morning, Owen's residence was very ssy.

What did he do during the night, that the mandolin, fountain pen and sheet music, which he always had with him like an attached doll, were all scattered on the floor?

That's right, you've been waking up a little early these days.'

Maybe he was deeply asleep; he didn't do the slightest movent even at the noise of the door when Ayla ca in.

Ayla was headed towards the bathroom but, seeing Owen, who did not seem to be covered properly by the blankets even though the weather has beco quite chilly, she turned her feet.

As she got closer to the bed, she could see Owen sleeping deeply.

Owen's naked body after the incident the other day. To be more precise, she had never seen his upper body; but today was an exception.

Owen was fast asleep with his naked torso exposed.

As he was usually naked, it seed he was putting on a gown in ti for Ayla to co.

Looking at him, Ayla's face turned red.

She coughed a little in embarrassnt and pulled up the thin blanket that was around Owen's waist.

"It's not good if you do this in the morning."

Owen, who she thought was in deep sleep, spoke, winking one eye as if he were half asleep.

Wow What is this, he's sexy and crazy.'

Looking at Owen's red lips, Ayla shook her head vigorously at the strange thought that passed through her head.

You're crazy! Thinking about sothing like this. You must be going crazy, really.

It is a natural reaction since she is at an age where she is interested in the opposite sex, but this was embarrassing.

Isn't it ridiculous to blush at soone you don't even care about?

Ayla frowned, straightening her posture.

"Miss Ayla. It seems you thought sothing weird right now? Isn't that right? Right?"

"N-no. What do you an, sothing weird? My, you're really funny."

As always, Owen was playful, and Ayla stuttered and avoided his gaze at his surprise question.

Seeing Ayla like that, a smile ford on Owen's mouth.

"See, this body is so perfect that you can't forget it once you see it! Well, it is human instinct to want to see beautiful things. Don't be too shy. I understand it all."

Talking, in love with himself, Owen opened his eyes and looked around, but Ayla had already left a long ti ago.
