Although Andrew knew that Candice had visited him about this issue, he didn't expect her to be so direct and imdiately ask about it, so it took him by surprise.
Andrew had a headache, as he had no idea what to say to her, so he tried to deflect the conversation by pretending he didn't know what she was talking about, "Shine? What are you talking about?".
However, Candice didn't buy his lie and putting on an annoyed expression spoke again, "Don't play dumb with , I know you're involved. Now tell what was it?"
Seeing that his attempt to play the fool didn't work, he could only sigh resignedly, as he tried to co up with so plan to fool her, but then Fluffy's voice rang in his mind, "Master, you are underestimating your divinity. You won't be able to fool that girl easily. It's not that she thinks the glow had anything to do with you, she's sure of that."
"What do you an, how can she be so sure?" asked Andrew confused and Fluffy replied, "Divinity is your essence, that's why when you released your first seal, everyone who benefited imdiately recognized the causer. Didn't you realize that all your employees knew you were the culprit?".
Hearing Fluffy's words, Andrew had to admit that he was right. The refutable proof of Fluffy's words was that Nadila and Candice, ca to the Heavenly Palace to look for him imdiately.
Despite knowing that, Andrew did not plan to be truthful. First of all, they would not believe him if he said he was a god candidate and secondly, he could not go around telling his secret to just anyone.
Candice had proven to be a great ally and so far she had only acted with sincerity, but, even so, he didn't have the confidence to trust her with a secret like this.
"Miss Candice, did you co all this way, unprotected and in such a hurry because you wanted to know about a strange glow that you say I caused?" continued Andrew trying to deny his involvent, but that only made Candice more upset.
"Mr. Andrew, if you try to continue to play stupid, I will notify the empire that you are making strange moves," Candice threatened. She really didn't want to do that, but as Fluffy had said, she was sure Andrew was responsible and she wouldn't let him off that easy.
Andrew noticed that Candice really was vacuously threatening, but her annoyance was real and her intensity got the better of him. Andrew let out another sigh of resignation and with a wave of his hand invited Candice to sit down, as since they had arrived at the office they had not done so.
Candice understood that Andrew had finally given up and was going to tell her what she wanted to know, so she sat down. An awkward silence stretched across the office, it only lasted a few seconds, but they felt longer.
"Can I offer Miss Candice sothing to drink," Andrew asked, but Candice replied curtly, "Mr. Andrew, stop wasting ti."
Seeing that Candice did not want to play along, Andrew said, "Well, it is true that the glitter was my fault, however, you do not need to worry, it is nothing harmful." Andrew paused and looked at Candice seriously.
"I really didn't know it would affect you. It is a ritual I perford, to strengthen the health of those close to , but it was a surprise to that you also received benefits, as we are not that close," Andrew continued with a serious expression.
Andrew couldn't think of a better excuse and said the sa one he used with his employees, but adding his seriousness and fixed gaze on Candice he hoped he could fool her, but Andrew underestimated Candice.
"Mr. Andrew, don't take for a fool. What I felt was nothing like a health improvent, it was more like...," Candice said with a dark expression without having the courage to finish her sentence.
Andrew didn't understand what Candice might have felt, but instantly heard Fluffy's amused laughter in his mind and furrowing his eyebrows asked, "What are you laughing at?"
"It's funny to see the master trying to lie without understanding," Fluffy replied still laughing, and that annoyed Andrew even more. With a vein peeking out of his temple he asked angrily, "Stop laughing and explain."
Fluffy then stilled his laughter and explained. It turns out that, unlike his employees who received a small benefit, Candice received a larger benefit, so she didn't feel comfortable like his employees when the glow enveloped her, what she felt was excitent.
That's right, excitent. Andrew is an Eros god candidate, so his divinity affects the domain of sex and eroticism, so Candice who received considerable benefit, obviously felt a sexual pleasure.
While her benefit was greater, she did not receive any ability like his wives, but it was enough to identify that the energy that enveloped her was not what Andrew claid.
When Fluffy explained that, Andrew had another headache, as the situation had beco complicated. Candice who looked at Andrew quietly, beca increasingly irritated, as she thought Andrew was ignoring her and angrily claid, "Do you intend to keep ignoring ?".
Candice's angry question pulled Andrew out of his conversation with Fluffy and focused on her, but he still didn't know what to say. Candice assessing Andrew's expression knew he wasn't planning to tell her the truth and that bothered her even more.
Honestly, she wasn't worried about what Andrew might have done to her because sohow she knew that the energy that enveloped her wasn't harmful. She didn't know why she was sure of that, but it was, however, that didn't an she wouldn't seek answers.
"Mr. Andrew, until you tell the truth I don't intend to leave, so be honest," Candice said earnestly. Andrew looked at her and her expression told him that she was serious.
Andrew was on the verge of collapse and then Fluffy's voice rang out again, "Master, you should make that woman yours imdiately. Once she has the wife seal there will be no problem."
"Shut up!!!", Andrew replied loudly without realizing it, surprising Candice, who indignantly responded coldly, believing Andrew was talking to her, "Is that a threat Mr. Andrew?".
Upon hearing Candice's question, Andrew realized his mistake and quickly apologized in embarrassnt, "Excuse , Miss Candice, I wasn't talking to you. It's just that lately, I have a demon whispering in my ear."
"Hey, what do you an by a demon? Don't insult ," Fluffy imdiately retorted, but Andrew ignored him and continued talking to Candice, "I'll be, honest with you. I can't tell you."
Candice was thrilled when Andrew said he would be honest, but the next sentence caused her expression to freeze, still, she kept her composure and asked, "Why?"
"Because if I tell you, you'll have to beco my wife," Andrew replied playing with fire. Andrew's response seed like a joke, but for so reason, Candice didn't see it that way and it confused her.
In her thoughts, she couldn't stop thinking, "Why do I think what he said is true?", not understanding her own thoughts she was stunned and even Andrew seed confused, as he didn't understand Candice's quiet reaction.
After a few minutes of silence, Candice spoke again, "I don't understand the reason, but I feel like you're not lying to and that's even stranger. Still, you're not going to convince that easily, I guess I'll be living here for a while."
Dark lines appeared on Andrew's face as he listened to her. Inwardly he cried out in despair at Candice's insistence and resignedly compromised, "Let's do sothing, Miss Candice. Why don't we wait until next week on our date and I'll tell you all about it."
"I see no reason to wait. I want to know now," Candice replied adamantly and when Andrew didn't know what to do, Fluffy spoke again, "Kiss her," to which Andrew replied in exasperation, "Damn you, do you want to die?", but Fluffy didn't flinch at the threat and said, "Do it master, I assure you everything will be fine."
Obviously, Andrew didn't believe him. He would be an idiot if he did, but he still didn't know how to get out of that situation, and at that mont his wives entered the office unannounced.
"Miss Candice, would you like a room of your own or will you be sleeping with us?" said Helena as she entered with a smirk. Candice was taken by surprise by Helena's comnt and even blushed at the thought of sharing a bed with them.
Seeing Candice's tender expression, Andrew's heart skipped a beat because at that mont Candice looked incredibly beautiful in his eyes, but he didn't let it go and asked, "Fluffy, what's wrong, did you do sothing?", but Fluffy responded with a cold snort ignoring his question.
Again the office fell silent, and then Andrew broke the atmosphere by saying, "Well, Miss Candice, don't be intransigent, just wait a few days. It's really nothing bad."
Candice snapped out of her embarrassed state and looked at Andrew coldly, as if searching for any hint of malice in him, but she could find none of that, in fact, she t him with a loving gaze, and that made her blush again.
Seeing that she couldn't get anything out of Andrew, Candice let out a resigned sigh and sowhat exasperated said, "I'll drop the matter for now, but don't think it will stay that way. Since you'll tell all about it at dinner, there's no need to wait until next week. Tomorrow night we can have dinner, I'll make the reservation, wait for my carrier pigeon."
Candice didn't wait for Andrew to respond and walked out, leaving Andrew and his wives stunned. Andrew could see an aura of distrust around Candice as she left and it was not strange because Andrew in her eyes at this mont did not inspire confidence.
