Clay stood frozen in place, his entire body stiff as if struck by lightning, his mind blank for a split second before a storm of thoughts exploded inside him.
Did… did my maid just kiss me?
His eyes widened, his pupils trembling slightly as the realization struck deeper.
Without me doing anything?
His heart began to pound, louder and louder, echoing in his ears as if the entire hall had gone silent just to listen to it.
Does that mean…
The thought repeated again and again, growing louder each time.
Does that mean…
His breathing hitched.
Does that mean…
And then it burst.
I COMPLETED THE IMPOSSIBLE MISSION?
Inside his mind, Clay erupted like a man who had just won everything in the world at once.
I LOVE YOU TO DEATH! I LOVE YOU TO DEATH!
His thoughts rang like thunder, full of joy, disbelief, and pure, unfiltered excitement.
I WASN'T WRONG CHOOSING YOU AS MY MAID!
His mind kept racing, unable to calm down as wave after wave of happiness flooded through him.
