Chapter 321: Chapter 321
I woke up to warm breath against my ear.
"Evaaaan. Evaaaan."
"Mmh," I muttered, rolling onto my side and burying my face into the pillow. "Five more minutes, please, Jasmine."
"Evaaaan."
"Hm..."
"Why," she whispered, voice way too awake for this hour, "is there a nine-inch strap-on in the trunk of the car?"
My eyes flew open.
I turned my head and stared at her. Jasmine was propped on one elbow beside , lips twitching like she was barely holding back laughter.
"Ooh..." I said groggily. "That was..."
"Do you want to... get pegged?" she asked, completely serious and absolutely not. "I an, Evan, you just had to ask. It’s a little weird for , but—"
"No, no, no." I let out a laugh and rubbed my face. "I just... bought it. I don’t know."
"Well," Jasmine said, sitting up, "Nala told the valet to wash the car before heading to work."
My stomach dropped.
"And," she continued sweetly, "the valet found that huuuge strap-on. Can you imagine Nala’s face when—"
The bedroom door swung open.
"EVAN!"
I flinched.
Nala stood there in full work mode, holding the strap-on between two fingers like it was radioactive.
"What in the actual fuck?"
Uh-oh.
I lifted both hands slowly. "Busted."
"I had to—" she said, shaking it once with a grimace, "take this from his hands."
"Yeah..." I sighed. "Sorry."
She exhaled hard, dragging a hand down her face. "God. Co on. Get up. We’re going to be late for work."
"Wait," I said, blinking. "I woke up late today? That’s... new."
"I know," she said, her voice softening just a bit. "You’ve been exhausted for days. It was bound to catch up with you... and, it did, I suppose."
"Hm." I shook my head. "God. Last night..."
She studied
for a second, then sighed. "On second thought—go check on Kayla first if you want. Then co to work, okay?"
"Jasmine told you about her?"
"Yeah," Nala muttered. "God, she’s such an idiot."
"Kayla’s just... feeling guilty," I said, sitting up. "Ugh. I need a shower."
"Mm," Nala humd, setting the strap-on on the desk like she wanted it out of her sight forever. "Co on, Jasmine. We’ll take my car. Evan can use the jeep."
"Yup," Jasmine nodded.
"You have the keycard?" Nala asked.
Jasmine froze. "Wait. I thought you had the keycard?"
"I have the keycard!" Kim yelled from the living room. "And the coffees are ready, girls. Co get them before I drink them all and unlock the twenty-fifth hour."
I leaned back against the mattress and exhaled as Jasmine and Nala left.
Last night replayed itself whether I wanted it to or not. Kayla retching on ndy’s doorstep. The way she cried and kept apologizing, like if she said it enough tis it would erase everything. And ndy—calm, almost tired—already knowing that Kayla had been aware Richard was seeing soone all along. What a ss. All of it tangled together, ugly and human and exhausting.
"Ugh..." I yawned as I got up. "Co on, Evan. Get up."
The door creaked softly.
I glanced up just as Minne stepped inside, carefully balancing a breakfast tray in both hands. Not just any tray—one of those fancy bed trays with foldable wooden legs, polished and smooth. On top of it sat a ridiculous spread: fluffy scrambled eggs, golden toast stacked neatly, slices of cheese arranged like soone actually cared about aesthetics, a small bowl of cut fruit, jam in a tiny glass dish, and a steaming cup of coffee that slled way too good for how tired I still was.
"Oh..." Minne said softly, her steps slowing. "You’re already up, Master?" She looked down at the tray, just a little disappointed. "I... prepared breakfast for you."
I blinked, then smiled despite myself. "Huh. I didn’t even know we had a tray like that."
"I bought it yesterday," she said, her voice shy but earnest. "I was watching a movie, and the protagonist’s girlfriend brought him breakfast in bed. I thought it was... nice. I wanted to do the sa. But you’re already awake."
There was a pause, like she thought she’d missed her chance.
"Nah," I said, shifting and sitting back against the headboard again. "Co on. I still want to experience sothing like that."
Her face lit up instantly.
She stepped closer and gently set the tray down in front of , the little legs resting on either side of my thighs. It fit perfectly, like it was ant to be there. I rubbed my hands together, eyes scanning the food.
"Wow," I muttered. "Wow, wow, wow. Look at this."
Minne stood there watching , hands folded in front of her, clearly proud and trying not to show it too much. I started eating, and yeah—of course it was good. Everything she touched always was.
I pointed at the bed beside
with my fork. "Co on. Sit."
She hesitated for half a second, then nodded and perched beside , smoothing the hem of her maid outfit nervously.
I picked up a slice of cheese and held it out toward her. "Here."
Her eyes widened just a bit. She leaned in and took a small bite, cheeks faintly pink.
"Co on," I chuckled, nudging the cheese closer. "Don’t be cute. Eat the whole thing."
She laughed softly and took another bite, mouth a little too full now. We both ended up laughing at that, crumbs and all. I kept eating, the warmth in my chest slowly replacing the leftover tension from the night before.
"How’s your mother?" I asked between bites.
"She’s getting better," Minne said, smiling gently. "She started walking yesterday. Again. I’m lucky."
"That’s good." I nodded. "You should go see her. Take today off."
Her eyes softened. "Y-yes, Master."
Outside the window, snow drifted down lazily, no wind, no chaos. Just quiet. Warm inside. Calm. Minne beside . For the first ti since yesterday, my shoulders finally relaxed.
She fidgeted with the hem of her outfit again, then looked up at . "Um... Master?"
"Yeah?"
"Thank you for... carrying
to my bed last night."
I smiled. "Hope I didn’t wake you."
"I was actually awake," she admitted, smiling shyly. "But... I liked it. So I didn’t move."
I snorted. "Cheeky maid." I grabbed another piece of cheese and aid it straight at her. "This deserves another cheese attack."
"Master—no!"
Too late. I gently pushed it into her mouth anyway. She laughed again, eyes bright, chewing happily. Huh, also, my little ’attack’ seed to get ten points from her. Nice.

Jasmine peeked in through the doorway first. She took one look at Minne and , smiled warmly, then blew a kiss in our direction before quietly pulling back.
I lifted my hand and waved. "Later."
Kim popped her head in right after, grinning, blew an exaggerated kiss, then vanished too.
Then Tessa leaned in just long enough to flip
off, tongue out.
I snorted. "Love you too."
Finally, Nala stepped in, grabbed her phone off the desk, glanced at us, and made a little heart with her fingers before heading out without a word.
The door closed.
Silence followed. The good kind. The kind that settles in your chest.
I went back to eating for a few seconds, chewing slowly. Then I noticed Minne had gone very still. I set the tray aside on the nightstand.
When I looked back at her, she was staring at the floor, fingers twisting together in her lap. Her shoulders were slightly tense, like she was trying very hard not to think about the fact that we were suddenly alone.
I shifted closer.
Minne lifted her eyes just enough to et mine, then looked away again, lips parted like she wanted to say sothing but didn’t know how to start.
The air felt different now. Heavier. Warr.
"Hey," I said softly.
She swallowed. "Y-yes, Master?"
I reached out and gently tipped her chin up with two fingers, not forcing it, just guiding. Her eyes t mine fully this ti, wide and nervous and very aware.
"You okay?" I asked.
She nodded, a little too quickly. "I am. Just... um..."
Her voice trailed off.
I smiled faintly. "You don’t have to say anything."
That seed to ease her a bit. Her shoulders relaxed, just a fraction. She shifted closer on the bed without really realizing she was doing it, knees brushing mine.
Outside, snow kept falling, slow and quiet, like the world had decided to give us privacy.
Minne took a small breath. "I’m... glad you liked the breakfast."
"I did," I said. "A lot."
Her lips curved into a shy smile at that.
I leaned back against the headboard again, not breaking eye contact. "Co here," I said gently.
She hesitated for a heartbeat—then moved, settling beside , close enough that I could feel her warmth through the fabric.
