Sylvie, the Slave Girl (Lily Futa) - Chapter 18 (pt. 1)

“Why did the master suddenly buy a cake?”

Sylvie sat face to face with her.

Some cold food sat on the table.

She did not ask Wei Qing why she came back so late, but Wei Qing still felt guilty about the scene.

She saw the person at the table, not knowing how long she sat there.

The lights were not even on.

This thing needed to be made fresh; it was quite troublesome.

The clerk refused her request for delivery.

Another colleague fell ill recently; only one person worked in the shop and could not leave.

Wei Qing thought she would be too lazy to go out again after returning home.

She underestimated the time to make this thing, so she waited there.

She watched the whole process.

The cake started as a big piece of bread.

It took shape slowly; cream and fruits were added.

It was quite relaxing.

During the chat, she learned the name of the cake shop clerk; her name was Tina.

“Uh, I suddenly felt like it.”

Wei Qing scratched the corner of the table; she paused.

“I felt bad because I yelled at you this morning.”

“…”

Sylvie’s expression stayed calm.

“Is this an apology gift?”

“Sort of.”

Wei Qing looked up at the ceiling.

“It’s also a bribe.”

“A bribe?”

Sylvie raised her eyebrow slightly.

She felt surprised by this word.

“It’s quite awkward. So, you eat this cake and forget what happened today, okay? Everything was an accident…”

“Which time?” Sylvie looked at her.

Wei Qing’s voice stopped; she blinked her eyes.

“Hm?”

The girl still looked at her.

Her eyes and brows were gentle; she hummed softly, asking again.

She swallowed nervously for some reason.

“It was… when I bumped into you this morning.”

Sylvie nodded casually.

Her gaze dropped; her silver hair stuck to the soft side of her face.

Wei Qing covered her face.

She pursed her lips, then she continued, “I felt quite awkward. Anyway, you must not mention it again. It was embarrassing. You probably felt embarrassed too.”

Some unexpected words came out, but they were very honest.

But it matched her impression of the woman.

She curled her lips.

“So, the master went out for this today?”

“Yeah.” Wei Qing nodded.

“The cake needed to be made fresh. I thought it wouldn’t take long… so I came back a bit late.”

She paused, then added, “Next time in this situation, you can eat first.”

Sylvie’s eyes turned a bit cold.

Wei Qing did not know why she suddenly looked angry again.

But she relaxed her expression soon.

Sylvie nodded at her.

She looked very obedient.

“Okay.”

Wei Qing let out a breath.

She cut the cake.

The clerk’s skill was good; the fruits lined up neatly and beautifully.

The cake’s edges had flowers; the strawberries were big and plump; cream dotted them with smiley faces.

A strawberry cake.

This person still remembered her preference.

“May you be happy every day,” the woman says to her.

Her eyes and brows curved beautifully.

Sylvie felt a bit dazed.

She took the cake the woman handed her.

She tasted it carefully.

The soft, sweet texture spread in her mouth; she couldn’t help but squint her eyes.

Her tangled emotions suddenly relaxed.

She smiled and said seriously, “You… be happy every day too.”

Wei Qing couldn’t help but laugh.

She touched the girl’s head.

Her eyes curved.

In her heart, she added, “Happy birthday.”

At night, the living room lights turned off.

Wei Qing said goodnight to Sylvie at the door.

She returned to her room.

Her body relaxed.

For some reason, she felt especially sleepy today.

Wei Qing’s body stiffened.

She opened her eyes in disbelief.

She stared at the dark ceiling blankly, then she closed her eyes again.

Even if you say you will kill her now, she won’t run over and do anything to that person.

This shitty task was crazy.

Wei Qing felt she lived over twenty years and never felt this frustrated; everything piled up since she came here.

… It seemed she needed to work tomorrow.

By the way, the girl at the cake shop, Tina, said her colleague couldn’t work due to illness.

Should she ask tomorrow if she could work part-time for a while?

Watching her make the cake today felt quite fun…

Her messy thoughts spread out.

Sleepiness quickly flooded in again; her consciousness blurred.

She fell asleep groggily.
