She stretched out her numb body habitually with her eyes remained closed as soon as she woke up from the sleep. Slowly she contracted her pupils to absorb the surrounding lights. They were neither too bright nor too dark. It was at the perfect brightness to indulge the strange view around her. She was not used to this environment. The bedroom was huge and decorated with cla.s.sic style. All of the things inside the room exceptionally portrayed the elegance in each of the arrangement. She was in awe as she admired the whole room. The tiredness that she had last night had been washed away by the good quality of sleep she had especially after lying on this comfy bed , her insomnia would be cured easily. For a moment, she forgot how she got into this room.To her surprise, an old lady came out from the side gate of the mansion after almost 10 minutes she stood outside of the mansion. That old lady then put on a warm coat over her shoulder. She was a bit lagging to react fast as she was taken aback by this lady"s sudden appearance. She had yet to press the bell but how this lady knew her presence in front of the gate? Was there any CCTV near her? With this thought at the back of her mind , subconsciously she turned around to look for one however because of there were not much lights outside here , she couldn"t identify any of them or perhaps there was no CCTV at all.
"Miss, we have prepared the room for you. Master has instructed us to let you rest first before meeting him." spoke that old lady in a motherly tone.
"Huh??"
The lady gave her warmest smile seeing her daze reaction before continued.
"Have a rest first Miss. Any inquiries you can directly ask master when the sun rises. I just carried out his order. Please follow me."
She was pulled by the lady to enter the mansion and that was how she ended up sleeping in this exquisite room.
Remembering the scene , quickly she pushed aside the duvet and ran out from the bedroom in a rush, only to b.u.mp into an elderly man in the butler attire.
"Oh, you must be our guest. Good morning Miss. Master has instructed me to prepare the breakfast for you. Come follow me to the dining room." greeted the old man in the same manner of the lady she met earlier on. Both of them were friendly towards her.
"Uh...Morninggg ... Erm, your master ?? …. breakfast huh??" She hadn"t regained her conscious mind after waking up. Her brain worked much slower than the normal rate.

The old man nodded his head before gesturing her to follow him. Like a sleeping zombie , she just trailed behind him before her brain managed to wake up finally seeing the entire embellishment across the huge and s.p.a.cious living room. She was amazed at the detailing and realised that it was also the same style of the bedroom she slept just now. No doubt, it was outstandingly superior to what she ever seen in her entire life.
After walking several short distances , she then found herself to be in another large room with the same decorations and at the centre of the room got a long table with several seats aligned to the side of the table and one head chair. On that table , there were few types of simple morning cuisine yet seemed to be high cla.s.s food laying on it. The aroma coming from the food really enticed her nose and automatically she was drooling plus the sound of her stomach grumbling loudly attracted the attention to her. Just by smelling the aroma , she could sense the freshness and deliciousness of the food!
"Have a seat , Miss. Afterwards , master will meet you at his study table." Judging from the sound he just heard and saw the guest"s drool , he bet the guest was really famished so he invited her to start eating.
She felt a bit embarra.s.sed of her own inappropriate att.i.tude but she was more hungry. So without wasting any second , she gulped down the breakfast with the thought that she shouldn"t let the owner of this mansion waiting for her any longer. She had caused too much trouble! She took several food into her plate and started eating them in rush.
The old man , who just stood beside her to serve her in case she needed anything more , chuckled upon seeing how hungry she was. At least he did a good job in filling up the guest"s stomach!
Less than ten minutes , she finished eating the breakfast and abruptly looked at the old man. "Hehe .. I"m sorry for my bad manner but I"m really hungry and now , my stomach is full. Thank you for the food! Let"s go meet your master." She just grinned to him while apologizing. After feeling full , her brain started to work at its best function and now she remembered something important.
"EH WAIT!! I left something important in the room. My purse!" Her sudden soft shouting surprised the old man just before he could make the move towards the study room. Swiftly , she ran back to the guest room and brought along her purse that she left on the dressing table adjacent to the bed and dashed to the living room in less than two minutes. Inside her purse got something very important that could change her life"s fate so she must bring it with her all the time especially at time like this where she was about to strike a deal with the owner of this mansion.
When she exited the guest room , she saw the old man already waited for her outside the room and gestured her to follow his lead. Then , they pa.s.sed by the same living room before climbing the grand spiral staircase at the left corner of the living room and found a door on their right. On their left, there was a long hallway filled with pictures in frames. From afar , she could catch glimpse of those pictures. They were full of variety of arts. Some she was familiar with but some she hadn"t seen before. Perhaps the owner of this mansion was an artist or someone who had a deep interest in arts.
Knock! Knock!
"Come in!"
The old man pushed the door after receiving the permission to enter the room. Just by the door frame , she could see several shelves of book and medium-sized study table with a typical setting of a study room. The study table was directly positioned facing the door. But she didn"t see anyone in there from her peripheral vision .
Both of them stepped into the room and it turned out there was a young man sitting on a one-seater dark brown sofa, reading a thick book with his right leg crossed over his left near the fireplace. The sofa was a bit isolated and unseen from the door view. Few seconds later , she heard the sound of closing door behind her and she instantly looked around for the old man. She had been left alone just like that with this unfamiliar figure by the old man without any advanced warning!
Suddenly , she felt regretted coming here. Her body shivered in nervous and the determination she had earlier on slowly dissipated every minute she breathed the air inside this mansion. Although she didn"t see the full view of this man"s face , just by his body language , somehow she could sense the coldness emitting from him. Would this person welcoming her with big heart and warm greeting after causing him trouble to prepare the room for her this early morning?
Clueless of what to do , she just played with of her wrinkled dress waiting for the man in front of her to look up however almost five minutes , there was no sign of him to do so. He was so focused on his reading and once in a while would flip the page. Inside the study room , only the sound of the flipping page was heard.
She swallowed the bitterness inside her mouth and took the courage to address the person in front of her currently.
"Mr O"Sullivan?" Finally , she broke the silence with her cracked voice.
