Later that morning, after enjoying breakfast in the garden in the fresh air with Ella and Edrick, Ella reminded Edrick that she wanted to go for a hike. Edrick of course agreed, as it was nice outside.

“Go put your shoes on,” he said. “And pants, too. I don’t want you falling down in a dress.”

“Okay!” Ella exclaimed as she sprinted off to her room to get changed.

Edrick stood and stretched, accidentally revealing the lower portion of his abs as he did so. He was dressed casually in a simple polo shirt and trousers, which was strange to see as I had grown so accustomed to seeing him only dressed in business attire. He must have forgotten that he wasn’t wearing his shirt tucked in when he stretched, and seeing even just a small portion of his abs made me blush a deep shade of red.

“We won’t be out for too long,” Edrick said then. “Feel free to explore anywhere you want in the mansion or the gardens while we’re out.”

Now, I was wearing a simple t-shirt and jeans with boots and a zip-up hoodie on top, with my hair up in a bun, and he almost seemed fascinated by it. Seeing the way he looked at me made me blush and feel a bit embarrassed until I realized that I had looked at him the same way earlier.
