Chapter 55 - Beat Him When He"s Back
At that moment, when the young man finally returned to his senses, he couldn"t stand still. This was the first time he had been so agitated and scared at the same time. He wanted to sneak into the house to see what she was doing but he was afraid he might make the situation worse.
"What should we do? What should we do?"
"What if something happens to the young miss inside?"
"My G.o.d. Please stop saying terrifying things like that. I don"t want to die yet."
"Then, what should we do?"
Everyone was standing in front of the entrance as though they were broken robots, walking back and forth, almost losing their minds. The only one who stood motionless like a rooted tree was YiJin, who was currently in deep meditation, as if he was quietly calculating a certain problem that might cost him his life if he failed to solve it.
Meanwhile, Davi locked herself in her room. She looked as serious as ever, scribbling something on her note, as if she was a military general planning a legendary siege of a certain impenetrable castle.
Not noticing that it was already dark, she continued working diligently. When she felt hungry, she finally stood up to get some food. However, to her surprise, the butler, the maids, and her body guard, Yijin were all standing like punished little kids just outside the closed door. They look tired and helpless, as if they"ve been standing there for hours. Realizing the situation, Davi"s mouth instantly hung open and guilt flashed across her eyes.
Truth was that Davi locked the doors to show them she was upset, but she knew they could open it whenever they wanted. Well, she really was upset. She thought it was impossible for them not to have Sei"s number, especially YiJin. However, she soon realized that Sei might have ordered them not to give it to her, which upset her even more.
But even though she was upset, she never meant to do this and she didn"t think they would act like this at all. She was aware they were just following his orders. Why did they not open the door? Why did they stay outside? Gosh, what have I done?
She then hastily walked towards the door and opened it. At that moment, the maids and the butler broke into tears, shocking her even more. She froze as she looked at them. They looked really worried and her heart clenched.
"I"m sorry. I didn"t mean to do this," she said, looking troubled, causing all of them to shake their heads.
"No, no, young miss. It"s our fault." They said and Davi could only hug them and comfort them.
"I"m fine, okay? I was just a bit upset. Stop crying, it"ll break my heart." Her words were like an angel"s voice that calmed their hearts and their worries disappeared instantly. They were also overjoyed for they didn"t expect the miss to comfort them with hugs and sweet words.
After that, everything was settled smoothly and joy overtook the maids" and butler"s faces as they left.
Except of course, for the young man who was looking tense ever since Davi opened the door. He looked like an extremely troubled soldier who just made the big mistake of sending a false alarm to his superior and that there was no way for him to undo it.
Noticing his unusual expression, Davi turned towards him.
"What"s wrong?" she asked. The young man looked heavenward for a moment then looked at the ground, making Davi even more curious.
"I-I"m sorry miss," he said softly and Davi could only smile as she patted his shoulder as if she was telling him to calm down, leaving him a bit dumbfounded.
"I said I"m okay. People get upset every now and then, you know, and I"m not a saint, okay?" Davi was trying to ease his obvious worry. "Don"t worry, I"m not angry or upset with you. This is all Sei"s fault for being so mean. I"ll make sure to beat him up when he"s back," she continued, with a pout.
Her words somehow made the young man feel better instantly and her saying things like she would beat Sei up, immediately cracked him up and he smiled. No one ever dared to say things like that to Sei, his master, and was still living fine. No one other than her.
