After Tobias entered to see the two in a peculiar position, the man stood in silence with an empty expression for a few moments before arching his brow.

Walking over to set the bags on her desk, Tobias unpacked the containers of food to set them out on the table in the office.

Despite her dislike for sharing, Mimi invited Emilia to eat especially considering the girl's pale complexion.

"By the way, the one you should thank is Tobias. He was the one who caught you when you fainted." Mimi said while biting into her burger.

Emilia glanced up from her food to look across from her, only to freeze up and look back down, her body feeling cold inside.

No way...

The one who saved her was Tobias Itou? That terrifying man that was glaring at her murderously when he entered?!

"T...Thank you." Emilia stuttered.

In response, the man merely grunted and bit into his sandwich – not once glancing in her direction. If it hadn't been for Mimi's words, Emilia would have thought Tobias held killing intentions towards her.

Looking up once more, Emilia stared at the large man eating his food with a silent expression. His broad shoulders hunched over in the considerably cramped seat he sat in while his black, dull eyes stared at the food in front of him.

Sensing a gaze on him, Tobias looks up from his food to stare at Emilia who shivered and quickly averted his dark eyes. Confused, Tobias arched a brow but decided to ignore the young girl and pick up a fry.

"Here."

Placing the fry in front of Mimi, the silent man who hadn't spoken since he arrived, uttered a single word, yet it was filled with so much power and dominance Emilia felt her hands holding her food tremble.

This man was too scary, ah!

Mimi, not noticing Emilia's reaction, smiled while leaning over to munch on the fry in Tobias's hand. Biting into the fry, Mimi continued eating as if nothing happened and took another bite into her burger.

Drinking his water, Tobias reached for another fry and placed it in front of Mimi's face.

Once again, Mimi chomped down on the fry and continued on with her eating. Emilia, sitting on the side watched the two's strange yet seemingly normal interactions in awe.

She couldn't help but think the two looked like a couple.

Once that thought entered her mind, she inwardly shook her head at such odd thoughts. Both were men and had a significant age difference.

Besides...

Emilia looked over in Mimi's direction. The boy's fair complexion was more flawless than most people she had met. His long lashes fluttered while his perfectly shaped rosy lips parted to take a bite of the food in front of him. Even while eating, the aura around him was graceful and celestial.

Looking away hastily, Emilia couldn't contain the blush in her cheeks. Emilia was unaware that her actions, from the beginning, were being observed by Tobias who glanced at Emilia and then Mimi.

His expression remained indifferent but inwardly he couldn't help but shake his head.

Everywhere she went she captured the attention of many. This girl was a bigger handful than he thought...

After the three had finished lunch, Mimi and Tobias immediately discussed business causing Emilia to sit in the corner with her head lowered.

Hearing the two talk seriously and go over a set of documents, Emilia couldn't help but feel awkward.
