The Heir Who Escaped

²². The geeky who pretends

Lina hurriedly prepared the food she was going to give Hendrik. But when he arrived at Hendrik's room he was surprised because Alana was already saying goodbye to go home.

"Master Gibran is coming back?" Lina asked hesitantly.

"Yes, I'm still in college so I can't stay here for long." Alana said with a smile.

"That's it," Lina looked down at the food she was carrying, obviously Hendrik wouldn't eat it when Hendrik's friend had left.

Though he wanted to use Alana so that Hendrik would eat.

Alana could read Lina's mind so she approached Lina and grabbed the tray from Lina's hand.

"This meal is for Hendrik, right?" Ask.

"Yes, sir" replied Lina.

Alana smiled then she brought the tray to Hendrik's side and placed it on the table.

"Since you are my friend then I will help you finish this meal before you go home." Alana said taking a bowl of fresh porridge placed on a tray.

Lina felt very happy to see the young man who came was very understanding so she knew herself to leave the room immediately.

After the door closed, Alana immediately sighed violently.

"Geez, I can't believe I'm going to feed a lackey!" Upset Alana stared cynically at Hendrik.

"Daughter, please be kind and treat the sick servant." Said Handrik moving his infused hands.

"Hisses...!" Alana again sighed but she lifted her spoon and began to feed Hendrik.

After the first bribe, Alana stirred the buuir in the bowl while thinking.

'What am I doing? Why me??' Alana feels strange to herself, since when does she pay attention to others?

"What's wrong, Princess?" Hendrik finally asked after seeing Alana speechlessly staring at the porridge in his hand.

Hendrik didn't say anything he just nodded his head and took a bribe from Alana.

The man stared at the mirror of the room that reflected him.

A smile!

Is she smiling?!

"What's wrong?" Alana asked when she saw Hendrik glued to look in the mirror.

Hendrik again drew his attention from the mirror and looked at Alana.

'Am I smiling because of this girl? Come to think of it as well why do I obey all of Alana's wishes?' Henry was confused with himself.

"It turns out you're an expressive person as well, but somehow you're really bad at college. You have a great father, you have everything! It's weird that you get bullied by people you're supposed to be oppressing....... You're this, you're actually just doing a show, right?!" Suddenly, Alana said, surprising Hendrik.

'Since when did I reveal my identity in front of others? Even in front of Aunt Lina I have never behaved like this. I always pretended to be stupid in front of Aunt Lina but in front of Alana-why could I smile and-' Hendrik realized he was already too rash.

Strangely, though, she felt no remorse after Alana found out about her.

"Can you keep this a secret?" Ask Hendrik.

"You?? You again?! Call me Princess!" Back to Alana.

"Sorry Princess, may the Princess keep anything secret today?" Ask Hendrik.

"Ah, so you're actually pretending to be geeky? Why?" Ask Alana.

"That's, hmm,,"

"If you don't tell me why I won't help you! I'm going to tell everyone who you really are and how real you are at home!" Alana threatened Hendrik.

"All right, Princess. I'll say it." Hendrik sighed.
