My Boss Is A Soul Eating Spirit.

Bella greets Leon who's resting on the armchair in their shared living room.
Leon
Oh Hey, Are you hungry?
Leon immediately walks toward the kitchen and Bella follows.
Isabella
No, but usually i have my dinner early so i guess you can make something, delicious...like earlier...
Leon starts picking vegetables from the storage, when he turns he finds Bella standing behind him…
Leon
Do you want something?
Loco has arranged all your things on the first floor, he'll help you find it, just ask him.
Isabella
Uh well no...
I wanted to say something to you.
Isabella
First, I'd like to apologize for my behavior... I'm sorry that i was rude to you earlier.
Isabella
But thank you so much for saving me. I don't know how i can pay you back for the favor.
His eyes linger on Bella a moment longer than needed.
Biting his lips he extends his hand to caress Bella's cheeks, Bella freezes.
The fear of melting into a puddle of skin and bones run through her mind. Though he's not devil he's just as much capable as them.
Bella stumbles stepping back.
Beet
Back off Mister. She's a human!
Leon
You think I don't know that.
Leon threatens holding up a knife toward Beet.
Isabella
It's... it's okay.
Bella picks beet, covering his mouth by her hand.
Isabella
So as i was sayi-
Leon
You don't need to pay back...just be a good girl and co-operate Bella...
I did not do any favor, i was obligated to save you, it's just a task for me.
Bella's eyes flashes, she was grateful and wanted to thank him because she got a chance at life because of him.
But his cold statement made her shudder.
Yes, he was obligated to do so, and Bella is obligated to live her life, be happy just like Leon advised, she has to concentrate on filling up the happiness tank.
Leon
If it's about why i touched you earlier? That's because i wanted to instill fear in you, looks like i failed.
Bella blinks at him in confusion. She wanted to tell him about her new job.
Isabella
Uh no...
Last time i was on the building, i was waiting for an acceptance letter...
Today i found out I got the job.
So next week, I'll be joining the company.
He walks out of the kitchen darting toward the first floor, Bella looks at him as he walks around, going in the room with tanks.
Leon
Well that's disappointing...
Leon jumps off the open balcony and Bella clenches her eyes shut.
Though he's a spirit his physical form is of human and it'd natural to get scared when a human jumps from another floor.
Leon pats Bella's head as he walks past her.
Leon
I thought at least 25-30% of the tank will fill up, but looks like that acceptance letter was worth only 5% of your happiness.
We need to find your true happiness.
Isabella
That's strange... I'm feeling so happy right now, are you sure? Maybe it was just filling up?
Leon
I can't be more sure Isabella
Leon
Okay now don't be sad, you know this is important.
Bella rolls Her eyes, dragging herself to the dining table and placing beet on it.
Beet blabbers for the at least 10 minutes before quieting down. he had so much to say which he barfed at once.
Rel who was asleep. Tumbles down the stairs eliciting laughter from beet.
(Note : Rel was not asleep, Beet placed a pillow on his face until he passed out.)
Isabella
I'll go to work from next week, so do we need to make any changes in the said contract?
Leon
No no... It's fine, I'll have my eyes on you, wherever you go.
Rel
Oh, that means next time you take a shower, you won't be alon-
Beet lunges, falling on Rel tumbling across the floor.
The awkward silence was enough encouragement for Bella to run out of the kitchen and toward her bedroom.
