YOU CAN'T RESIST ME (I Still Want To Love You) [ON IMPROPER HIATUS] EP-5

Ivelle Nyrah Syrian//Auriana (FL)

You called me, sir Sylas? *nervously fidgeting*

Sylas Arien Eirdis/Casimir (ML)

*puts the glass of wine down and leans back* Yes, I wanted to discuss something with you. *his voice raspy because of all the wine he had consumed*

Ivelle Nyrah Syrian//Auriana (FL)

Oh, I see, what's the matter? (Why the hell was I even nervous about this, 😒. Like this guy is the CEO of this company, and so what if I'm his personal assistant, he can't just dump all his work on me!! I'm only human, after all)

Sylas Arien Eirdis/Casimir (ML)

I want you to attend the yearly ball with me. *his voice firm, leaving do space for denial*

Ivelle Nyrah Syrian//Auriana (FL)

Well, it won't be a problem for me, I guess... (The yearly ball...? Oh yes that's the ball where all the high society family members gather, once a year to form alliances and meet old friends)

Sylas Arien Eirdis/Casimir (ML)

Just don't get any funny thoughts as to why I'm choosing you, *looks at her in the eye* Matteo said it'd be a great idea to take you with me there. (Not that I'm against it)

- Sylas's voice was hoarse and raspy from excessive wine consumption, a telltale sign of his inner turmoil. While he tried to mask his emotions, his heavy drinking betrayed the truth, Ivelle could sense that he was deeply saddened by Senara's lack of reciprocation. As a character of the novel, wine had always been his solace during times of heartbreak. He was probably using it as a bitter comfort that temporarily numbed the pain of unrequited love. -

Ivelle Nyrah Syrian//Auriana (FL)

I get it *puts the file she was carrying on his table* Boss, I'd like to ask something. (I don't wanna work so extra)

Sylas Arien Eirdis/Casimir (ML)

Hmm, what is it? *takes the glass of wine and takes a sip*

Ivelle Nyrah Syrian//Auriana (FL)

Uh.. *unsure if she should say it or not* Well, even if you are depressed about some unrequited love, you shouldn't just dump all your paper work on me 😭.

Ivelle Nyrah Syrian//Auriana (FL)

I know you have your turmoils going on inside your head, so you can use all that work to distract yourself from it. But no, you just dumped all the work on me 😭.

Sylas Arien Eirdis/Casimir (ML)

Sylas Arien Eirdis/Casimir (ML)

Okay okay, just stop ranting *annoyed but amused at her being dramatic*

Ivelle Nyrah Syrian//Auriana (FL)

No no, even my hands are itching to slam thoae files on the desk and sleep on them

Ivelle Nyrah Syrian//Auriana (FL)

** Over-dramatic No. 1 **

Sylas Arien Eirdis/Casimir (ML)

No wait, why use those files with hard surface as a pillow, I can just give you a whole lot of pillows if you want to sleep.

Sylas Arien Eirdis/Casimir (ML)

** Mr. Abnormal speaker No. 1 **

Ivelle Nyrah Syrian//Auriana (FL)

If I sleep then who'll do the work, huh? Certainly not you! *keeps on ranting*

Sylas Arien Eirdis/Casimir (ML)

Hey bhagwan!

Sylas Arien Eirdis/Casimir (ML)

Just stop ranting and bring me those files and the paper work and everything, I'll do my part of the work

Ivelle Nyrah Syrian//Auriana (FL)

(OMG!!! I actually talked to him like that, 🤣. And his reaction feels quite satisfying, but I'm not pretty sure if he's annoyed or not) Okay *shrugs*

Sylas Arien Eirdis/Casimir (ML)

*looking through the file she brought* Just "Okay" after all that ranting? *raises his eyebrow*

Ivelle Nyrah Syrian//Auriana (FL)

Well, I got what I wanted, So I'm good now. Now you do the paperwork *leaves before he can reply*

Sylas Arien Eirdis/Casimir (ML)

This girl- What do I do with her, made me actually talk when I was down, she's really something.

Sylas Arien Eirdis/Casimir (ML)

(her advise was also pretty nice, maybe I could use all the paper work to distract myself...)
