Chapter 54
The elevatat was silent as it rose. Viktor bit his bottom lip, keeping his gaze as focused on the numbere as Kamilla diet on kie takes
She was burning to say something, he could just feel it. She was practically vibrating from the effort remaining silent required. Before he could van klan Viktor scoffed out a laugh at her predicament.
Kamilla immediately reacted. “What’s so funny?” she asked.
Viktor glanced at her. She crossed her arms and looked up at him, her eyes narrowed in accusation.
He had no clue just what she was accusing him off? Being a billionaire? Well, in that case, he was guilty.
Kamilla scoffed when he silently shrugged. “Mr. King,” she murmured, shaking her head. Viktor couldn’t help the smile that curved his lips. When were you going to tell me that you had a whole gigantic company? More importantly, a surname?! Is that even your surname? Or did you just want these humans to low–key treat you like the royalty you secretly are?”
The doors opened to a wide, brightly lit floor and Viktor walked out with a sigh. Kamilla hurried out after him.
“Nothing to say for yourself, Mr. King?” she hissed in his ear.
Viktor jumped when her sudden breath tickled his ear. He gave her a look as he rubbed his ear. “I owe you zero explanations, Kamilla.”
Kamilla put a hand to her chest and blinked at him. “Well, pardon me, Mr. King!”
Viktor ignored her and walked over to a pair of black doors, nodding at the blonde receptionist across the hall. She woman turned pink, scrabbling about to stand and greet Viktor.
Kamilla blinked at the lady’s flustered state and went in after Viktor.
The office doors were already closing behind her, but Kamilla was still staring at the magnitude of the room.
“Geez, what is this? An office or a whole freaking museum?” she wondered, blinking at the high ceiling.
Her gaze came back to Viktor as he sat his desk and turned on his fancy devices ready to work and ignore her.
Only, Kamilla wouldn’t have it.
She hurried over to the desk and leaned over it, until he had no choice but to look at her face.
“So your name is really Viktor King?” she asked with wide eyes. Viktor blinked in boredom. Kamilla frowned. “Oh, just tell me! Is this what we’re doing now? Huh? Keeping secrets from each other?!”
Viktor narrowed his eyes on her. “Since when did we have sworn loyalty to each other in the first place? Also, I didn’t keep it a secret, I just didn’t feel the
need to tell you, Kamilla. You clearly don’t hold that much importance.”
With that, he turned away from her and flipped open his laptop.

Kamilla scoffed. She crossed her arms and shook her head. “Why, oh, why, Viktor, do you try so hard to pretend to hate me?”
Viktor looked up at her with a frown. “Why do you assume I’m pretending?”
Kamilla tilted her head. “Uh, because you nearly had a heart attack when I fought that werewolf. You care about me, Viktor King, adn.
Viktor looked up at her little triumphant smirk. “That’s what you think?”
Kamilla smiled and flipped her hair over her shoulder. “Why, of course! You even got super worried when Rogan cornered me in your study. Stop the mind games, Viktor.”

With Proff Viktor pushed ruit at his seat and walked slowly around the tablk to where the funt,
You get too far ahead of yearself, little one-
Kamilla narrowed her eyes and widened her devilish little smile. “Oh, pleage. Nobody can fake that kind of concern.” She poked him in the am ↑ really worried about me, weren’t you?”
Viktor put his hands in his pockets and gave her a bored look. “1 was merely concerned about all the things I’d have to do if you died. Give reasons but prot death, put the kingdom in mourning. Royal funeral and such. Quite an unnecessary expense.”
Kamilla narrowed her eyes sharply.
“You-
“Be quiet! I need to make a phone call.” Viktor put two fingers against her forehead and nudged her out of his way.
Kamilla jerked her head away with a scowl. “You think you’re all high and mighty, don’t you?” she demanded.
Viktor put his back to her, determined to not show her the amusement in his eyes. He didn’t understand why he found her ridiculous behaviour so endearing.
Just why on earth was her outraged little hands–on–hips pose and her angrily flushed cheeks so damn… cute?
Viktor froze halfway through dialling the number on his phone. Cute? What kind of abominable word had he just used?!
