Moon Lovers: Bound by Blood and Revenge

Chapter 34 First Day Of Work



'Gosh, where is your integrity, Marceline Celeste Zhou? Breaking your own words? Please next time learn to control your libido!' She chastised herself inwardly, biting her lower lip.

To save herself in this embarrassing moment and keep her pride, she chose to blame this irresistible fellow for her bold action.

"Hey, you! Did you just use your mind control ability against me? How many times should I tell you that you are not allowed to use your power against me? This is one important rule in our written contract!"

Kira's jaw dropped, his scarlet eyes staring at her with amusement and disbelief as he couldn't find the right word to describe Marceline's shamelessness.

'How could she blame me for something I haven't done? I can't even use my mind control ability against her.' Kira thought to himself, lifting an eyebrow.

"Hmm, Miss Zhou, I could attest to myself that my mind control ability has nothing to do with you pulling my necktie so that I could kiss you." He folded his arms over his chest while giving her a smug smile, not allowing her to blame an innocent gentleman.

"I believe you did it on your own will," Kira added, his scarlet orbs glowing with a glint of humor.

"Cough! Cough!" Marceline pretended to be choking as she continued feigning innocence.

And just in time, Aunt Brianna knocked on the door, catching the attention of the two souls inside and at the same instant, saving Marceline before she could fall under Kira's playful teasing.

Marceline found her chance to save herself as she immediately strode toward the door, opening it for Aunt Brianna.

Aunt Brianna joined them inside. She was holding a small box of contact lenses. She gave it to Marceline.

"Thanks, Aunt Bri!" Marceline gladly accepted it before approaching Kira.

"Kira, come... look at me and lower your head a little." Marceline started opening the small box to pick the brown contact lens.

"Why? Are you going to kiss me again?" Kira asked her suddenly.

The lens almost slipped out of her hand the moment she heard Kira's last remarks. She gazed up at him, narrowing her eyes as if telling him 'Hello? Can't you see? We are not the only people in this room. We got company!'

Upon meeting Marceline's deathly glare, Kira immediately shut his mouth for him not to say another unnecessary word.

Fortunately, Aunt Brianna didn't make the situation awkward for them as she pretended that she didn't hear anything. But her lips twitched, fighting a smile.

"Here, I will teach you how to put a contact lens on your eyes. No normal human being has red eyes. You should hide it or else people will think you are a freak."

'Though I know people will not mind seeing a super handsome man with beautiful scarlet eyes. In fact, I love the color of his eyes.' Her inner self had spoken again in her mind.

Kira nodded his head, letting Marceline put the contact lens on his eyes. Seconds later, his scarlet orbs were no longer visible. His eyes turned brown.

He blinked, trying to adjust his vision. It worked just fine so he had nothing to complain about using the contact lens.

"Now, it's all done. Make sure to remember what we taught you for the past seven days!" Marceline reminded him once more.

"Put your mind at ease, My Lady Boss! I know what to do. Please have a little faith in me," he responded, giving her a reassuring smile.

Marceline just let out a deep breath, hoping that nothing would go wrong on Kira's first day of duty.

"Now, let's go. I don't want to be late." Marceline made her way to the door, stepping out of the room without waiting for Kira.

He was about to follow her when Aunt Brianna suddenly stopped him by grabbing his elbow. Kira looked at her with his questioning gaze.

Aunt Brianna just smiled faintly, picking up something inside her bag~ a bottle of perfume.

"Here, you're gonna need this. Use this perfume before you leave," Aunt Brianna said meaningfully, putting the bottle in his hand before she followed Marceline.

Kira was puzzled by her action and the way her eyes were looking at him as if she was trying to send him a secret message. But he couldn't figure out that old woman.

'Hmm, should I try reading her mind next time?'

Kira shrugged his shoulders before spraying the perfume around his body.

"Eh, strange! Is this really a perfume? I can't even smell a thing. A scentless perfume?! So weird!"

He was still assessing the bottle of perfume in his hand when he suddenly heard Marceline's voice.

"Kira Alaric! Move fast, don't make me wait for you, or else I'm gonna leave you here!"

"Sigh! The Grumpy Tigress is here." He sighed deeply before dashing out of the room to catch up with the two women. Of course, he used his super speed!

"I'm coming!"

[ Zhou Empire… ]

The staff and employees of Zhou Empire started entering the building to report on time for today's work. Today would be the busiest Monday of the week as the Boss Witch was returning from her one-week leave.

The previous week without the presence of Marceline Celeste Zhou was like heaven to them, most especially to all the staff under her department.

Everyone made sure that no one would be late today. The staff under Operations Department were already sitting in their respective desks and cubicles when they heard a commotion outside their office.

"Eh, what's that noise?"

"Why is it there are lots of people gathering outside? Do we have visitors? VIP or Superstars?"

"Oh my, what if we have a surprise external audit today?!"

Marceline's staff were still guessing and speculating when they heard another noise. Not able to keep their curiosity, some of them went out of the office to see what was happening outside.

Just when they were about to pass through the office door, their Witch Boss suddenly arrived and she was not alone!

A tall and handsome man in a black suit stood beside their Witch Boss. The pair looked so dazzling in their eyes. Then they realized that the main source of the commotion outside was this beautiful duo!
