Thane puzzles me with his demeanor. He's a man whose heart is unpredictable. Even I couldn't decipher his flat expression. Was he angry? Or has he gotten better like before?Right now, I am enjoying breakfast with Thane. We sat across from each other, and his demeanor was still cold. Rigid, like he couldn't be bothered at all. No one made a sound between us. Only the clatter of spoons and plates accompanied this activity.I wanted to ask but was too afraid to open my mouth. The last time he looked at me, I felt his desire to eliminate me. It's possible, isn't it? After all, Thane was a cold-blooded mobster. There would be no surviving him when he made a mistake. Perhaps I would have the same bad luck as those who ended up dead.Fear made it difficult for me to swallow my food. I tried several times to calm down, but my mind couldn't cooperate.Until finally, I saw Thane had finished with his food. He stood up and was about to leave. However, before stepping, he said, "You no longer ne
After all these days of just doing the same activities. I feel like my body is exhausted, and I want to close my eyes in my room. But before that, I tried to clean myself up first. I need a splash of water that can refresh my head. "Hah... today was so boring. I'll go crazy if it continues like this." I grumbled about life right now.Finished with the activities in the bathroom, I confirmed Thane's whereabouts. Just as my head was slightly out of the door, I saw Mia crossing her arms. That's a sign that Thane hasn't returned yet."Alright, then I'll just go straight to bed and hope tomorrow can be a much better day than today." At least, that was my prayer tonight.I laid my body on the bed, pulling the blanket to cover half my body. I hugged the bolster on the side, and my eyes closed.Until finally...My eyes were closed, but I could feel someone approaching. I hope Mia or another servant wants to talk to me. But... something was strange. I was going to dream something beautiful, b
My head was throbbing from not sleeping well last night. After making the bed, I quickly cleaned myself up in the bathroom. Luckily, this place has warm water to make my body feel comfortable."Huh... I don't know what happened last night, I think my mind was so messed up that I had a hard time even closing my eyes."After finishing the bathroom activities, I quickly put on my clothes and left the room for breakfast. My steps stopped for a moment when I saw Thane sitting there alone. I looked like he was waiting for me, but I didn't want to feel that way."Good morning, Thane," I greeted him, unanswered.It looked like he was still angry with me. Oh, my... what should I do to get him to talk?This atmosphere is so awkward it's even affecting my appetite. After Mia placed a plate of food in front of me, I just looked at it and played with it. No hunger is present at the moment. Even though I was already excited from the room, it all disappeared when I saw Thane, who was still like that
More and more, my life has no direction or purpose. What am I here for? What was the reason that could make me open my mind?After several days of dwelling in the same house, there was no change in Thane's demeanour. The man remained cold, stiff, expressionless. As if I was never here, he was so silent without any greeting every time we met.This time, I hadn't seen him since last night. I didn't want to think about it, but the more I thought about it, the more it made me anxious."Huh... what should I do now? I've been reading, watching, shopping for unimportant things through online apps. In fact, I've played all the games on this phone to win countless times. Then... is there nothing else to do?" I grumbled and complained about the boredom that always came my way.I saw that Mia was also busy with her work. She couldn't even keep me company at a time like this. Did Mia deliberately not want to talk to me anymore?Amongst this boredom, there seems to be a part of my body that protes
Thane looked at the bread on the tray. There was a puff of smoke, indicating that the food was still hot. One hand outstretched, his forefinger seemed to press a few times on one of the loaves. "I made some sandwiches and... cakes. I'm just channelling what I've learned in the past. I guess it'll be my fun in the midst of the boredom of being here. At least it's something positive I can do," I explained to Thane, who asked what I was doing.I saw his face watching my bread again. Suddenly, his hand grabbed one of the loaves and ate it without asking. As expected, he wouldn't have any expression while eating the food. I was actually embarrassed to introduce my homemade bread, but... Thane didn't even show a strange face while eating it."You shouldn't force yourself to eat it, Thane," I said to Thane.Thane glanced at me sharply, making me look down in fear. I flashed my eyes to look at him. Apparently, Thane had picked up the bread that was still on the tray. Thane ate it with gusto
These few days, I was busy baking and doing other activities. Until I realized that I hadn't seen Thane here for a few days. I don't know where he went. I never knew and got news about him.Actually, there are many questions I want to ask Thane. It's just that the man always ignores me and seems reluctant to talk directly. Does a person with power always behave like that?Right now, I was walking towards the kitchen. I wanted to ask Mia something. I saw that she seemed to know everything Thane had been doing all this time.My eyes wander, taking in every corner of the kitchen. Apparently, Mia is washing dirty dishes. I stepped closer to her, but suddenly, my lips felt stiff, and I stopped myself from speaking to Mia."What's wrong, madam. Why do you look like you want to talk to me?" asked Mia, who knew what I meant."Hem, no. I just wanted to say hello to you. Then, I'll go read. I think some books caught my eye yesterday." After saying that sentence, I hurriedly left from there.It
I felt uncomfortable with the look Mia gave me. Even her answer to my question about Thane's phone number wasn't perfect, in my opinion. Mia is like a different person right now. I'm a stranger to her.However, I realize Thane must be busy at the moment, too. I shouldn't be asking for his phone number like this. I must be very annoyed if I call him. So, how can I tell Thane about Anne's wedding? I wanted to be there, but the current circumstances didn't allow me to ask for permission."Madam, if there is something important, it should be discussed with Lord Thane directly." Mia's words were true, but how could they be? Thane wasn't even here right now."How can I talk to Thane if he hasn't been around for a few days." I expressed what I was really feeling right now.Let alone talking. I don't know when he's coming home?"Mr. Thane will be home tonight. Madame can wait for him to come," Mia said suddenly.Is he really coming home tonight? How could this be a coincidence?"Alright, I'll
I was surprised by Thane's presence in the car. My body was still standing frozen in front of the door, while Thane himself was looking at me with a tilt of his head. My eyes blinked a few times, and I tried to realize what I saw now."Thane?" At the mention of his name, Thane looked back at me."Come in, or do you want to keep standing there?" Thane asked me, who was still frozen in my current position."Why are you here? Didn't you have work this morning?" Instead of answering, I asked Thane back.There was something strange here. For some reason, I felt that Thane wasn't letting me go."Isn't it obvious? I'm here to go with you." Thane's words made me even more confused.I remembered once, didn't I say yesterday that I would go to Anne's wedding? I didn't intend to take Thane along. This was strange, really strange."Then what about your work, Thane? Actually, are you going to come along or just drive me? Don't confuse me!" I said, making it clear what Thane wanted to do precisely.
