Spoiled by mr. russell chapter 2258-Ross answered, “Of course, provided you perform well and have a clean
history.”
“You can count on it, Your Highness,” Rhea nodded and touched the wine bottle
again. “It’s getting late. How about another glass before you rest?”
“No,” Ross turned her down again, “As I said, I don’t want to get drunk.”
“Fred should be leaving now, right?” he asked, glancing at the clock on the wall.
Rhea again flicked the bottle and murmured, “Oh, yeah, it’s late now. You should
rest, Your Highness.”
“I still have work to do. You should leave now.” Ross picked up a document to
read. As he did, he suddenly felt dizzy and unbearably sleepy. He frowned and
tried in vain to shake off the sleepiness.
“It must be so tiring to handle so much work, right? You don’t have to work so
hard, you know.” Rhea stayed put and continued, “Why don’t you get an early
sleep? I bet you must be sleepy.”
She repeated, and Ross felt he could hardly keep his eyes open hearing the Original from NôvelDrama.Org.
word “sleepy.” He felt as if a powerful force was dragging him down. He told
himself he could not sleep, but another voice said, “Go sleep. It’s late, and
you’re tired. Continue your work tomorrow.”
There was also an unknown ringing that shook him to the core. The voice and
sound overlapped and overwhelmed him. Ross only wanted to unwind after
hearing the sounds.
“Sleep, Your Highness. You’re exhausted,” a gentle voice whispered. Ross
wanted to deny it but was too tired to say a word. Soon, he shut his eyes and
fell asleep.
Rhea stood aside and watched him lying down. She said after a while, “Your
Highness? Your Highness, are you asleep?”
After getting no response, she carefully sat beside him. Then, she glanced
around and leaned closer, saying, “Ross?”
It was disrespectful to say his name, but she was testing whether or not he was
asleep.
“Ross? Ross?” Rhea called twice more, but there was no response. Soon after,
she began the next step by moving the wine bottle closer and flicking it while
calling out, “Ross… Ross…”
Her distant voice and ringing sounds assaulted Ross’s eardrums, making him
snap his eyes open. “Who is it?”
Rhea was startled, even though she knew that would happen. She calmed
herself, looked at him, and said, “It’s me, Ross.”
