Ahh. I almost forgot about it… again! Get yourself together, Madison! “By the way!” I exclaimed as I got up quickly earning me a strike of pain in the head. Fvck. I shouldn’t have done that. “I told you to don’t-” “Yeah, Yeah. By the way! I have something to ask you!” I said slightly happy. Finally, the time has come. I opened my mouth to say something when I saw his amused face. What?... Oh, I turned my head sideward to avoid his gaze. My smile fell and my eyes returned to it’s expressionless nature. Oh, I let my guard down. I fake cough and face him with my usual expression. He looked somewhat… disappointed? “I would like to discuss something.” “...What is it?” “While I was touring inside this manor, I saw a dead garden.” “A dead garden? I didn’t have enough time to handle the household so I didn’t know about it. Anyway, what about it?” Well, Gavin is indeed a busy person. I doubt he knows the names of the employees except his butler and the head maid. Who manages this
I stood up and fixed myself. I, at least, put some lip tint and add some powder on my face before going out. I saw Gavin looking impatient but still leaning at my door frame. “I already said that you looked at least human. What’s with that?” “It’s called lip tint and face powder. To at least make a human presentable.” Duh. He just ‘tsked’. I ignored him and snatched my bag sitting in my swivel chair. I hurried towards Gavin. He looked at me from head to toe before turning around. Haa. This bastard. I was about to follow him when I remembered something. “Assassins.” I whispered but I think Gavin heard it because he stopped walking. He just stood there without moving. “What if there’s another attempt?” I said, trying to be calm. I can’t get anxious. I’m not the one who’s going to be the target anyway. I kept my eyes towards the floor. “Are you scared?” I raised my head to face him when I saw Gavin’s shoes in front of me. He was staring at me with his deep and watchful eyes. S
Everything went smoothly after sitting at our table. Surprisingly, Gavin was peacefully eating his food, the same with me. The food is great and our table is beside the glass wall, making me love it even more. “I wonder.” “Hm?” I looked at Gavin with suspicious eyes. I like this. Eating in a resto with a great view. But what’s the catch? Knowing Gavin, he wouldn’t do this without a reason. “Why would you take me here just to eat?” I asked while slicing my steak. I also like the food. I can see the pink meat of the steak with slight juice coming out of it. Delicious. I put a piece in my mouth as I enjoy the juiciness of it. I looked at Gavin who’s watching me. I smiled slightly as I raised my eyebrows indicating that I’m waiting for his answers. “Nothing.” “No way.” I picked up the wine glass and took a sip from it. Yup, I’ll enjoy this even though it’s suspicious. “We’re not that close for you to take me out for dinner.” Right? I whispered those words just enough for him to
I was staring at her confused. What the? Is she somewhat… crazy? Can’t she see that I’m rushing to get out? But she’s still smiling at me looking stupidly pretty. How can I even... She looked like Gavin earlier. Smiling like he’s satisfied with something but the difference was this girl was smiling like a kid who found a barbie doll. How... oddly... weird. Wait a minute, I am not some weird people attractor... am I? I didn’t respond, hoping that it may show rudeness and make her f*ck off. But even the silence enveloped us for a moment. She was still smiling. “Jas? What’s taking you so long– oh.” A lady, who was a bit taller than this girl, emerged from the door. She looked pretty as well with her straight long hair. I think they were friends. They look like one of those people who have sister bond even if they are not relative. How funny, that is something I don't have. But even so, that thing doesn't matter. It is not that I am wishing for any anyway. I was observing her whe
I pursed my lips then let out a slight sigh. Why does it always happen when I want to go home? How unfortunate. I want to sleep after a delicious dinner. I have so many things to do tomorrow anyway. I sighes again for who knows how many times I've done this so far. Even so, I didn't act in a way that is too vulgar. Just in a manner that you can't even tell I did. I noticed Gavin glanced at me with a questionable look on his face. I raised an eyebrow at him but he tilted his head. Yes, people. He just asked me if there’s a problem with those gestures. Our communication improved. I guess? Well... that would be good... right? Like... husband and wife communication increased by 1%. Ha... what a weird improvement, wonderful… I just shrugged and looked at the person that called Gavin. It was a man. Oh. I thought it would be Marxl, the one who stopped us from going home last time at the hotel. Speaking of him, I haven’t seen him since then. I kinda thought he’s Gavin’s aide or somet
The sound of the shattered glass echoed inside the room. The servants were scared witless compressing themselves in the side of the room. ‘I want to quit.’ ‘Why am I even here?!’ ‘Here he goes again…’ The servants thought differently but they were all scared of the man in front of them. “HAAAA!” A bottle of wine flew in their direction that hit the servant in the middle. The servant fell holding his face that’s impeded with broken glass, ruining her beautiful face. “Ahhh! My-My… MY FACE!” The servant cried, making the man look in their direction, making the two servants who’s standing flinched. The man was about to approach the servant when someone loudly knocked on the door. “Babe? What’s happening? I’m going in, alright?” A sweet voice said behind the door before it slowly opened revealing a woman with an angelic appearance. The girl was wearing an elegant but revealing white thin dress making her smooth white skin shine like the chandelier hanging in the room. “Wha
Ugh… Another boring day for me. I’m awake but I just don’t want to leave the bed yet. Can’t I just sleep for a day? I can. Yes I can but my body wants to do work! I want to be productive! I stayed in my bed with my eyes closed. I heard a knock on my door before hearing it cracking open. It’s probably my maid, Mel. After living here unproductively, I learn the names of my new maids that the Head maid assigned. They were nice and slightly younger than me. I kinda feel youth coming back to me whenever I talk to them. “My Lady always has a strange position while sleeping…” Oh, it’s not Mel… Was it Lisa? No, was it Jane then? “Our poor Lady probably missed the Master.” I can hear two of them sniffle, while I heard two light slaps. Well, that’s Jane. She’s always the brutal one. But what? Who’s poor? Who’s missing who? These girls really have imaginative minds. I sighed. People in this manor have started thinking that I’m in love with Gavin and I’m pathetic because Gavin’s always
All eyes, including me, turned to the owner of the voice and ended up seeing Gavin, standing at the entrance of the garden wearing a thin button down polo that’s exposing some skin in his manly chest and a black slack matching it’s shiny black shoes. His arms are crossed in his chest with his right hand holding his sunglasses. Wow, what a cool entrance. Suddenly, he turned his gaze towards me meeting my eyes, he smirked. What the… does he think he’s cool? I snort. Hell yeah. For once he looks cool. I watched him walk towards me with the old man butler following him. Ugh… do I have to see him in the morning? Well, it’s not that I don’t like him… I just feel uncomfortable but safe. You get it? Unlike when I’m with Gavin, I feel safe and easy-going I stopped watching Gavin when I saw the servants adding food and another chair in front of me. Wait what? Is he going to join me for breakfast? What about his work? Does he have spare time? He’s supposed to be busy. Like.. duh isn't it t
