âI donât have any food at home.â Nigel replied with one eyebrow raised.
âDonât you have any biscuits? I wouldnât mind having some snacks.â Queenie was begging him at this point-she knew that she wouldnât be able to sleep if she was too hungry.
âNo.â Nigel was amused by the look on her face. âCan you bring me out for food, then? Pleaseâ¦â
Queenie gave him a puppy-eyed look as she clasped her palms together. He felt as if he was staring at a pitiful little dog at that moment, and he could feel himself softening at the sight of her. Deep down, he was trying to remind himself not to be too nice to her. After what she did, she deserves to starve, he told himself. She bumped into my head, she saw my body, and sheâs even the reason that my hotel received a complaint for the first time in the past six months. Why should I pity someone like her?
At that moment, the girlâs tummy let out a loud rumble that rang across the silent hall. Blood rushed to her face as her tummy protested against the manâs words. She was genuinely hungry. âYou can look around in the cupboards beside the fridge,â Nigel finally said. The girl rushed to the fridge immediately, and she let out a gasp the moment she opened the cupboard. Is this a whole collection of snacks? The whole cupboard is filled with food! These are all expensive snacks-they arenât the cheap brands youâd see in regular grocery stores. Is Young Master Nigel secretly a fan of snacks? Thatâs cute. He acted all high and mighty earlier, but it seems like heâs actually a collector of snacks. Hah!
Queenie felt as if she had just stumbled upon one of the manâs secrets. The corner of her lips was curled upward as she happily picked out a few snacks for herself. Then, she hugged the packets of snacks against her chest as she walked over to the couch in the hall. âHere. This oneâs for you.â She was kind enough to offer the man some snacks.
Nigel shot her a glare, and he narrowed his eyes when he saw the number of snacks in her arms. âAre you sure you can finish all of that?â
âYeah. I have a huge appetite,â Queenie replied. I never get to do this at home! Momâs always so strict about the snacks I have. Now, Iâm going to have the time of my life, she thought. Up until this point, Nigel had only ever shared his global collection of snacks with one person-his nephew, Jared. He was surprised to see himself sharing this with a random woman.
