[Volume 4]: Chapter 56 - A Sweet Girl Won’t Be Fooled By The Villainess

Ifia struck a pose for a while, and quickly resumed her normal stance. When she turned and looked at Stef, she saw her eyes filled with concern, as if she were about to ask, "Are you alright?" Fortunately, Stef, having just come back from the doctor, had already covered for Ifia before she could come up with an excuse. "Ifia, you're not feeling well. You should eat more nutritious food to avoid cramps. Did it hurt just now?" She said with concern. "It's okay, I'm used to it. It doesn't hurt." Facing Stef's innocent and kind eyes, Ifia could only smile awkwardly, feeling like crying. She was just flirting, not cramping! If Stef had caught her licking her paws, would she think that she cherished water and didn't waste a drop? (TT) But did it really look like cramping? Thinking of this, Ifia sneakily looked at Amelia, who had not shifted her gaze. As she caught Ifia's flirty gaze, she smiled slightly, a trace of tenderness in her enchanting face. At that moment, her raised lips hinted at a smile. Even her beautiful purple eyes were filled with joy. Well! It really did look like cramping. If it were enchanting flirting, Amelia wouldn't show such an expression. The second step of the plan failed! Ifia quickly averted her gaze, feeling somewhat frustrated despite her determined efforts. Originally, she thought that with the acting skills she had honed through painstaking efforts, flirting would be a breeze, easily controlled. But reality had given her a lesson. Being an enchanting temptress wasn't something anyone could do; it depended on talent! She felt like she was making a fool of herself. "Ifia, if it hurts, you should tell me, okay! Though I can't share the pain with you, I can help you take a break and work when you're feeling better." "Mm-hmm." Ifia felt a pang of guilt for lying to Stef, who cared so deeply for others. After Stef's attentive inquiries, she left quickly, leaving Ifia sitting in her place, heaving a sigh of relief. She had once again managed to pass the test! Despite her failed plans, at least she hadn't publicly embarrassed herself. She could still bounce back! Terrified that Stef had discovered her, Ifia nervously grabbed a water glass and drank a large gulp, quenching her thirst. Then, she discreetly glanced at Amelia again. I wonder if Amelia finds me strange? After all, seducing a superior was something no one would expect. She had thought she could observe discretely, but she hadn't expected that Amelia, absorbed in work, wouldn't even avert her gaze, leaving the file unattended on the table. Her posture was casual, with one hand resting on the table, propping up her chin, and a sly smile playing on her lips. Even her long silver hair, flowing onto the table like silk and glinting, seemed to be emitting light. Seeing Ifia's discovery, Amelia didn't even try to pretend. Her other hand gestured to Ifia, as if inviting her over, nonchalant but assertive. Even in the palace office, Amelia, as usual, wore an exquisite, elegant black dress. Despite her long eyelashes exuding an air of elegance and beauty, her purple eyes carried a dangerous and mysterious allure, as if enticing people to succumb to her. Don't resist. Open your heart and become her captive. Under the gaze of her purple eyes, Ifia felt her body weaken. Amelia was too alluring! Just looking at her made people have inappropriate thoughts. This was just from a distance; one could only imagine if she actually came closer... Ifia felt her mind wander, unable to resist, and quickly shook her head, indicating that she would stay in her place. Embarrassing! She was just entrancing herself. In an instant, Ifia felt both thrilled and frustrated at her own inadequacy. It was like being torn between ice and fire. After swiftly calming her emotions, Ifia gritted her teeth and, with a flicker in her bright eyes, a strange desire for mastery ignited within her! I won't give up. I will seduce Amelia by any means necessary! [System, even if I fail this time, there will be a next time! Just wait and see how I conquer Amelia.] Even though the system was in a semi-stagnant state, Ifia's resolute words seemed like a vow, earning a silent approval from the screen. Though it felt like seducing someone was overly aggressive for a normal person, considering the relationship between Ifia and the villainess, perhaps it was just their little game. Maybe, just maybe, she could win over the villainess. That would be great! So, let the host do as she pleases! It would be best if she could win over the villainess and change the world's destructive fate. Then it could go back to being the chief deity's assistant, a far cry from the fear and apprehension it currently felt! "Ifia, look, what's this!" Just as Ifia had finished "declaring victory," Stef, who had returned, brought back with her a mysterious little box. Placing the box on the table, Stef opened it to reveal several white glutinous rice balls with a hint of pale pink and a fragrant aroma. "These are glutinous rice balls made of Mafisa leaves, with a hint of strawberry jam. They taste great and have health benefits!" After saying this, Stef brightly eyed Ifia and nudged the box. "Ifia, try one, it's delicious!" After discovering the adorable intern, for some reason, Stef felt a secret emotion that made her want to feed her and watch her grow stronger. Despite Ifia feeling reluctant to accept, she picked up a glutinous rice ball and savored the fresh mixture of grass and strawberry sweetness. It was truly delicious. (☆) Her eyes lit up, and she devoured it like a little hamster, eager for the unfamiliar taste, feeling a bit unsatisfied when it was gone. Unfortunately, it was someone else's snack, so she pouted and licked her fingers discretely. With her long eyelashes fluttering like a little fan, her delicate nose grazing her fingertips, her bright red tongue slowly slid over them, stirring the hearts of those who caught sight of the scene, their faces flushing red. Unaware of the attention she drew, Ifia was lost in the delicious taste, nibbling at her fingertips, her black obsidian-like eyes misty, looking pitiful and endearing.
