Chapter 54 - Devastated
Another week went by and Davi still hadn"t heard from Sei. She was busy with her review but she was starting to miss him really bad.
She could only whisper the words, "When will you come back?" to herself.
The house was silent. It felt as if the temperature of it had gone below zero degrees and it was driving her crazy. For the first time since she set foot in the Gray mansion, she felt an indescribable sadness. Mr. Kazuki, the cheerful butler also said goodbye days ago, causing the gloomy clouds to linger persistently at every nook and cranny of the house.
That morning, she again buried herself into the piles of books. The exam was getting closer and studying was indeed a great distraction. Completely immersing herself in her studies caused her to totally ignore the brewing gloomy atmosphere as she became one with the books she was reading.
After five hours, she finally went out and walked towards the garden with her beloved note in her hand.
She was deep in thought as she wandered around. Although she was busy with her review, she thought that the current flow of events was not good at all. She couldn"t accept just sitting quietly and obediently waiting for his return without doing anything. She needed to do something.
This can"t be happening. I need to continue my mission even though he"s not here, right?
As soon as she processed her thoughts, she opened her note as she sat on the gra.s.s. She studied every step written on it as though she was miss detective trying to figure out a written cryptic message.
Looking at her note, Davi was surprised when she found that for the entire month she spent with him, she only executed a mere twelve steps. Are you serious?
Davi was a bit disappointed at herself as she pouted like a little kid. She bit her lip then tugged at her own hair as she stared sharply at the note.
Shortly after, as though she finally decoded the secret message, she shouted excitedly. The light in her eyes returned as if her imaginary motivation battery was re-charged again, 1001%.
"YiJin! Are you there?" she said and like an invisible ninja suddenly popping out of nowhere, Yijin appeared in front of her.
"Yes, young miss," the young man stood like a soldier in front of her and Davi moved towards him immediately.
"I want Sei"s cellphone number," she said and the young man instantly froze.
"Sorry, young miss, I don"t have his number," he said and Davi fell silent for a moment before tugging her hair and sitting down like a weakened white kitten on the ground. Her sudden unexpected reaction immediately shocked the young man.
"No. You"re lying. Even Mr. Gou doesn"t want to give it to me. Are you guys serious?" Davi was devastated and looking as though she was about to cry.
Before the young man could explain his reason, the girl stormed towards the mansion and locked every door, not letting anyone enter.
That moment, YiJin, the butler and the maids were all stunned. They didn"t talk for a long while. They looked like deadly lightning just struck them hard. The young miss had never acted this way before. She had always been the kind of a lady who was serene and self-composed and never threw tantrums like this. This was the first time they had seen their lady boss get upset, thus, they were all extremely worried to the nook of their bones.
