Chapter 191 âYou can schedule an appointment for tomorrow, Maâam. Good evening!â
My request for Siennaâs personal number ended up in a failure as I felt deject, disappointed by my whole adventure. It was the ideal time to do something special for our precious relationship and I failed terribly, this was my new record of uselessness.
Lowering my head in shame, I came out as the last person. The guards locked the doors of the office behind me.
The inability to achieve my goal enveloped my existence with darkness, I was only one step away from meeting Sienna, but Leoâs interference ruined everything.
I sighed heavily, muttering under my breath.
âYou will surely die by my hands one day, Leo. Screw you!â
But my cursing couldnât continue for a long time as something strange dropped on my head, making me flinch.
âWhatâs this...â
One step forward and a waterfall directly landed on my face, halting me in my tracks. It was followed by the loud thunder of clouds, announcing the sudden rainfall. I swore impulsively as it was raining cats and dogs outside.
âFuck! Only this was left!â
Although I had checked the weather in the morning and the possibility of rain was ninety percent, it slipped from my mind due to one after another setbacks. I stomped my foot on the ground, wrinkling my nose in distaste.
âThe smell of wet soil after an eventful day! The Lakon city is indeed unpredictableâ
The soothing scent of rain was always my favorite, calming my soul, but now, it felt irritating. I wanted to shout and beat my hands on the ground like a toddler to protest against Heavenâs injustice.
The water droplets raced down in a frenzied state, hitting me relentlessly, I was difficult to see in heavy rain. I was covering my eyes for some relief when a protective cover over my head saved me from downpour, a compassionate voice smiled beside me.
âItâs awful to not have an umbrella in such weatherâ
Raising my head, I glanced at the tall, goodâlooking man by my side. He shared his umbrella with me at that critical moment.
That savior was elegant in every way, sophisticated and refined. Anyone would love to capture his looks forever.
It wasnât that I hadnât seen beauty in my life, but that man was unique, exuding an air of royalty. He was handsome from the depths of his eyes to the gentle expressions of his voice, speaking politely.
âYou are drenched in rain, Miss. Itâs not advisable to be wet in this weatherâ
Oops!
Due to my escalating frustration, I disregarded my condition and didnât bother to seek shelter from rain, getting wet in the process. That strangerâs warm tone made me realize my mistake, I was shuddering in cold when he said, âLetâs go to the store and find something to wear for you. This icy wind is freezing!â
With that, he grabbed my arm, pulling me towards the nearby shopping mall. followed him like an obedient puppy, completely mesmerized. There was something so dominating with his aura that I couldnât raise my voice to counter his frankness.
After all, he had touched me without permission!
We reached the famous clothing store in the mall in just five minutes. The first thing I noticed was the warm temperature of the store, washing a wave of relief over me. I didnât regret coming here with him.
A sales girl greeted that mystery man formally, âGood evening, Sir. How can I serve you today? Are you looking for a specific design or dress?â

Chapter 191 He treated that sales girl with respect and responded in a gentle tone, âThank you so much, Maâam.
We arenât looking for a specific dress. Please help this gorgeous lady to select an outfit. Her clothes are wetâ
That girl guided me to the casual wear section and suggested some options, speaking carefully.
âWe often have customers who get accidentally wet in rain and buy a comfortable dress to wear.
Please try this on, Maâam. Itâs one of our latest collectionsâ
She dried my bag for me and I changed into soft leggings and an unpretentious pair of a skirt and full sleeve shirt. An additional scarf was the best option to ward off cold.
I initially thought that he must have left home after taking me to the store, but when I walked out of the changing room, that mystery man was sitting in the waiting area. He raised his mug of coffee and invited me.
âHave some coffee, Miss. You must be feeling cold!â
Accepting his offer felt very inappropriate at first glance, but the aroma of freshly brewed coffee didnât let me say no. It was like natureâs bounty in harsh weather.
Then my concerns were removed by the sales girl as she spoke courteously. âThis is a complimentary hot beverage from our store, Maâam.
Please enjoy!â
Instead of sitting with a stranger, I checked the clothes in the store while sipping my coffee, selecting some for the next visit. I wasnât in the mood to try on different outfits like a normal shopping day now. The storeâs staff was really cooperative and efficient, assuring me about the availability of the stock online as well. It was a golden offer for working ladies like me.
Honestly speaking, I was much better after coffee, so when it came the time to pay, I was in my senses. Receiving the bag of my clothes, I asked for the bill.
âHow much for this-â
âBill, please.â
A soft voice cut me off.
I blinked.
He was suddenly beside me.
The mystery man had appeared out of nowhere, flashing a sleek black card at the cashier.
âSheâs with me,â he said smoothly.
My jaw dropped.
