Chapter 42: Help

"Mr. Reiner, you don't need to be this polite to me. I am still working here," Esme glanced at the man who bowed at her. 

''Miss Esmeray, you should not work here since you are soon going to marry the Prince. It is not appropriate for your status,'' Keith glanced at her face, studying her expressions. 

Esme shook her head, ''There is nothing like that-"

"You mean to say there is nothing between you and the Prince?'' The man's expression brightened visibly. 

But Esme, whose mind was still hung on Aleister's proclamation that she was taking advantage of him, did not notice it, "Even if there is something between us, the Prince won't stop me from doing what I want to do,'' She reluctantly prolonged the lie. As much as she would like to be honest, she can't trust Aleister. That man might really reveal her identity.
