Chapter 131
3rd Person POV
As Rev brought up the matter of a business meeting, Ekaterina’s mode immediately switched.
“Well, this twist design is nice and easy to hold. Then there’s this design with a bulging handle. The engraved patterns are beautiful, and I love that it’s designed to be non-slip. And then…”
The last time I told him what design I wanted while looking at the drawing, he also made exactly what I asked for. An elaborate design that resembled the beautiful dagger scabbard I had seen displayed in the duke’s weapons collection room.
“I knew this would look good on Big Brother. Can you make it out of colored glass without any problems?”
“Yes, I can.”
“Then I’d like you to make these three pieces in three different colors, and make them as gorgeous as a gift for the Duke of Yurinova. The colors will be exactly as I requested before, no further changes.”
Rev’s eyes lit up. He was probably looking at the finished glass pen right now. In his mind’s eye, he already had a picture of the finished product.
“You can count on me, Young Lady. I’ll do my best to work on it.”
“Thank you, I’ll be counting on you.”
Smiling, Ekaterina suddenly turned serious.
1st Person POV (Ekaterina)
“Rev, there’s one more thing I want you to make sure you adhere to.”
“Yes, you may say anything you like.”
“Eat properly every day, sleep well, and take care of your body. That’s all I want you to do. A person as gifted as someone like you would probably be happy to continue using your talent. Instead of sleeping or eating, you probably would be so absorbed in creating things, and you would genuinely feel happy. But you must not forget to eat and sleep. I would not ask you to sacrifice your life to present a gift for Big Brother. Even if it is a little late on his birthday, Big Brother will be happy to receive it, even belatedly. Life is unique and irreplaceable. Make sure you take care of yourself the best you can.”
Honestly, that’s what I would have said to myself in my previous life.
When I was working, I thought I had to do whatever it took. But, I didn’t realize that it was something that could cost me my life.
It was my life, and I should have taken better care of it….
So! Since I have the memories of my previous life, I have to make use of that experience in this life and do my best to prevent anyone from dying of overwork!
“…”
3rd Person POV
Rev seemed to be in a daze.
After a moment, he grunted.
“…Oh, if you insist, Young Lady.”
“Thank you. Promise me that.”
Gently looking away from the smirking Ekaterina, Rev muttered.
“But it makes me feel like I should do my best, even if it means dying.”
Wait a minute, seriously, don’t!
It was a weekday.
Flora, who had been watching Ekaterina fidgeting since morning with a smile on her face, told me that they were going to have lunch today and that she would cook it for them.
“But, Lady Flora. We can’t afford to cause you that kind of trouble.”
“I don’t want to be a nuisance,” she said, “the happiness of Lady Ekaterina and the Duke is my happiness as well. Besides, I don’t think Lady Ekaterina should be around knives and fire right now. Her heart is not in the right place.”
Flora giggled as she said this. Her smile, as always, is like a flower.
