The villainess aims for a peaceful life Chapter 56

'Oh Dear Lord, could you make so that the day have more hours than the normal? I desperately need them!'

A mountain of papers is in front of me and I can swear that they are have smiles and are mocking me right now . . . I need a break you say? I couldn't agree with you more, but you see, I can't .

Because is the last month of the year all our establishments are very busy . Asters having the spotlight, every establishment has a unique promotion and products for this time of the year . Both in Asters and Temone, the products are being sold out almost daily, and the closer we get to the Royal Parade and the New Year's party the frenzy gets worse .

Oh, the Villa is almost finished . The residences for my employees and their family is done, so they have already moved there in the end of the last week . Now the only thing missing is the hot baths, as such my Resort-Spa should be opening in the beginning of the next year . I'm anxious about how it will be received by the public since is a business that involves invading a bit of people's privacy . Well, if everything goes south I will put the Royal Family in game and the popularity will soar for sure .

We are also making the final touches for the Task ordered by Duke Fournier . Me and Albert are exchanging secret mails through his weekly tea purchase . He fixed some details in the plan, such as the Duke's Fournier escape route, and helped me in the assembling of the temporary health centers that will be open in the Parade's week .

In our letters I also sold him the idea of making squirrels plush toys and have Julia sell them . At first he was reluctant but after I explained that in this way she could be a more public figure and re-mean the squirrel nickname, he finally agreed with me . We will release the squirrel plush toys line next week . The squirrels will have 5 colors: brown, pink, purple, blue and green . Each one will have a specific smell, for example brown- chocolate, and will be accompanied by a box of the assorted favorite sweets of the year . We aim to have it sells as a present for a kid or a maiden mostly . The two are the best of spread any type of news .

I am also happy to say that different from everyone's expectations Lady Julia didn't screw up our plans! I'm not sure if Will's surveillance is that good or having her occupied with the squirrels was the solution, but the point is: she is behaving herself so much this month that I got the chills every time that I think of .

Signing one more document in front of me, I heard a loud noise .

*THUMP*

Raising my head to see what exactly happen, I see Leo supporting his forehead and having a painful expression .

"Don't tell me you just fell and had your face knocked on the table?"

Hearing what I said, instead of answering me, Leo blushed .

"*pfft* so funny! Your forehead even have a small protuberance!"

"Ceci please don't laugh it could have happened with anyone"

"Haha, yes, my bad . Come here, let's put some ice on it"

Picking up the ice that was inside my glass and rolling it on a small cloth, I grabbed Leo and pulled him to the sofa .

"Y-you don't need to do this . I can do it on my own"

"Stop taking out my fun . Now lay down here"

"In your lap?! I can't Miss!"

"Who is Miss? Stop whining! Or else I will give half of the documents on my table"

As if caught between death and hell, Leo made an utterly despair face, that amazing enough was still cute . The power of being an ikemen is incredible indeed .

Making a face of resignation, Leo finally laid down, grumpy, at my lap . I gently applied the ice on his red forehead and after a minute or so, he was in deep sleep once again .

'Seriously how tired must you be to sleep with ice be applied on you'

Looking at his angel like features, I was drawn to every detail on his face .

Don't get me wrong, is not like I crave for him in a sexually or romantically way . It's just that he is so beautiful that is only natural to admire the perfect work made by Madame Alby .

Trailing his face with my finger, I couldn't help but envy his flawless skin that didn't require a single cream . The Gods sure are unfair sometimes .

As I continued to play with Leo's face and hair, sleep soon also caught me and my office that 10 minutes ago was filled with productive sounds, was now filled with two even breathings that matched .
