Young Mansion now owns by someone named Shun Crow. In the middle of the night, a small figure invading the kitchen... from a small light from the hallway light, the figure eating comfortably in the round table of the kitchen.Shun"s POV
He"s admiring the beautiful moon in the sky while talking to someone on the other line.
"You knew what you must do," Shun told the person on the other line.
"Yes, boss. The full reports are already in your table." Replied Kier who"s the one in the other line. "First thing in the morning tomorrow, I"ll set a meeting with G Company."
"Alright, that"s good. I"ll leave it all to you." Shun ended the call.
Kier Lorenzo is a law, graduates. He hired him while he"s taking up Political Science then sponsored his law course in the US. His family owns a small law firm and with Shun"s influences, the small firm rises on top and becomes a giant one. He becomes the private Legal Affairs Director of Shun"s empire. Shun has many trusted lawyers of his company but Shun is such a secretive person. He only wanted a few people working directly at him with his private businesses.
After the call, Shun notices a shadow coming down from the stairs then went to the kitchen. He smirked. He follows her quietly and watches her in secret.
He decided to show himself when the young lady finished half away.
"You should eat slowly," he told. He saw how her small body shakes for a moment. She almost yells at him.
He picks up a clean gla.s.s and fetch some water from the fridge then put at the table beside the plate.
Ca.s.sIE"S POV
She woke up in the middle of the night and hunger strikes her stomach. She felt so weak by hunger. She slowly comes down from her bed and supports herself by holding the wall until she got out of her bedroom. She holds firm at the railings until she"s on the ground floor.
Slowly, she quietly walks towards the kitchen. Hunger killing her. Good thing some food nicely wrapped inside the refrigerator. She takes it out and pre-heat it in the oven. She digs in right away and fills her stomach.
She almost finishes eating when someone talks behind her. She felt like her soul jump out of her body.
"Do you want me to have a heart attack!?" she was trembling for few seconds then slowly calming.
After moving back from France, most of the times she lived alone in this huge Villa because of her uncle"s family often out of the country or in the main city. She always left alone that she"s used to it already. Then suddenly she remembers there are a lot of men staying at home now. She suddenly felt precautious.
Yet, he did not apologize. Instead, she saw him picks up a gla.s.s and fills it with cold water. To her surprise, he put it down beside her plate. Suddenly, he acted gentleman but the fact that he doesn"t show any conscience of startling her. How arrogant. He even just casually sat across the table.
She still in the state of disbelief. A man like him truly thinks the king of the world. She pressed her lips and gather all the courage to speak up.
"I"ll leave right away after I got my plane ticket back in France," she announced.
She watches how the man in front of her would react.
"Who told you that you can leave?" he asked her. Now she"s the one who was surprised instead.
"What do you mean?" she asked.
"Did I kick you out? I remembered yesterday, I did not and I have no plan to do so..." he replied. "Who will serve me every time I come home?" he added.
Her mouth dropped. In a second it tasted like apple, then in the next moment, it tastes like a rotten orange. So, he wanted to enslave her? She stays pressing her lips.
"I learned that Auntie Ling and her husband only coming here to work twice a week and that left you often alone home without no one accompanying you. That"s not good." Shun commented.
Shun continued when no reaction from her. "Starting tomorrow, they will work six times a week." he added.
"What? Why?"
"What why?" Shun repeated.
"Isn"t you want me to become your maid? Then why hiring aunty Ling full time?"
"Did I ever mentioned I want you to become my maid?" Shun asked back. Ca.s.sie growing puzzled. "True I want you to do errands for me. Do you think it will comfortable for auntie ling to bring me tea or food around?"
She stares at him for a long moment then nodded. "Okay." she can"t find any other words at the moment.
"I want you to concentrate on your studies. You"ll graduate soon, you need to prepare yourself for college." Shun said that made her surprised.
She"s dumbfounded. Why he"s thinking too much about her and making things easier for her? She wanted to ask many questions but no words come out from her mouth.
"It"s late, you still have school tomorrow." Shun gets up from his chair. He glances at her then left the kitchen.
She was left in disbelief.
