"Young Miss! Are you alright?"

Joy's worried voice pulled Emily out of the trance.

"Huh?"

She looked at the man, the head of the guards who were assigned to keep her safe and protected at all costs, in confusion.

The fog of confusion that was covering her beautiful eyes only made Joy worry more about her.

She was totally fine one moment ago and even before he could blink, she looked like something unnatural had pulled her attention towards it.

To avoid the curious eyes of the few customers that were present in the cafe, Joy took hold of her arm and started leafing her back towards her table in the back of the room.

"Miss Alessandro, are you feeling alright? Do you want me to call one of your brothers?" Joy asked as he helped her to settle down on her chair before offering her a glass of cold water.

Emily was already back to normal and she hurriedly nodded her head as she accepted the water.

"Don't worry. I'm totally alright." She softly murmured as she passed a small smile to her bodyguard.

She knew how diligent Joy was in his job. He had almost become like a second shadow of her.

"Are you sure?" He again asked as he tried to read her expressions, to see if she was hiding something.

Emily nodded her head in reply before she finished the cold water which helped her relax even more.

In reality, she had no idea exactly what happened a few minutes ago.

It was like someone suddenly appeared in the cafe, someone whom she knew very well but at the same time could not remember at all.

She did not try to look around the cafe to see who that person was because, for some reason, she knew that the person never entered the cafe.

The feelings were weird and the reaction that she was having towards these feelings was even weirder.

"How long before Daniel will be here?" Emily asked as she thanked Joe for the coffee that the girl brought for her.

However, even before she could take a single sip of the hot coffee, Joy stopped her.

The man pulled the cup out of her hands and passed it to one of the guards who were standing against the wall behind their table.

"Master Daniel would be here within next half an hour. If you want, I can call him and ask him to come earlier. And you are not allowed to drink any more coffee for today."

Joy made sure to keep his tone suggestive, instead of commanding.

Emily pouted at his last sentence but did not try to argue since she knew that he was only caring for her.

"It's alright. No need to disturb Danny." She told him in her soft tone.

Joy nodded his head before he stood up from his seat and took his position behind her.

Emily was busy reading through the contents of the files that Joe had transferred to her when once again the opening of the cafe door pulled her attention towards the new visitor.

And this time, she recognized both the electric tingles that erupted inside her and the person who was the cause of the sensation.

"Mr. Sullivan!"

Joy along with the rest of her guards bowed their heads politely as the young CEO walked closer to the table where their Young Miss was currently sitting.

Kaiden just gave a slight nod before he turned his attention towards the girl who was looking at him in a daze.

The curious gazes and whispers of all the excited customers present inside the cafe finally succeeded in pulling Emily out of her shock.

"Mr. Sullivan?" She whispered as she stood up to greet the man.

Kaiden nodded towards her with a small smile on his face before he passed an envelope to Joy.

Emily watched as her head guard and his team left the cafe after Joy whispered something to the other guards.

She was also surprised to see that the cafe had also become empty at some point when she was focused on her guards and also curious about the content of the envelope.

"Miss Alessandro..."

Kaiden's soft voice pulled her attention back at the handsome man in front of her.

He signaled her to take a seat and waited for her to settle down in her chair before he too settled on the chair beside her.

"You...what brought you here?" Emily asked as she noticed Mr. Kim moving towards the counter where Joe and Grace were standing.

She was not prepared for the hand that took hold of her chin and pulled her face to look at the young CEO.

Her surprised eyes stared at the supernatural prince sitting in front of her.

His thumb and index finger which were holding her chin did not move away even when he had all her attention.

Emily was even scared of blinking as she constantly stared at the man in front of her.

However, the fear that was stopping her from looking away was not the normal fear. Rather, it was a kind of fear that made her heart flutter with a weird kind of softness and eagerness.

"Is Secretary Kim that handsome?"

The question was just as weird as it was random, but Emily still could not help but reply instantly.

"I think he's cute. Don't you think so?"

The poor girl was just too innocent and pure to get a grip on the situation. She just tried to be polite and truthful.

Kaiden stared at the girl for a few silent seconds before he slowly let his hand slip from her chin as he replied with a nod, "I also think so."

Emily smiled softly as she nodded her head. She had no idea about what CEO Sullivan was doing at such a small cafe and she was not sure if she was supposed to ask or not.

"Let me help you with your bruises."

Kaiden did not give her the chance to reject his offer as he took her right hand in his own and opened the porcelain bottle which had been sitting on the table.
