4. Where is She?

"Is there anything wrong if a husband pays attention to his wife?"

Lexus fixed his eyes on Seth.

"Oh, of course not, Young Master. However, quite the opposite. I'm really amazed by your thoughtfulness," Seth replied immediately. He could tell that Lexus was on a roll.

"It's good that you know."

Lexus stared at Seth's hand that was patting his broad chest. The assistant woke up.

"Excuse me, Young Master. I was thinking of adjusting your collar to make it look more presentable...."

Seth hurriedly came up with an excuse. He doesn't want Lexus to bring up the pay cut issue again.

"Get your dirty hands off, Seth!"

Lexus shook off Seth's hand, then leaned his back.

"Bastian, you've been with me for a long time, haven't you?"

Lexus's baritone voice was firm. Seth and Bastian also listened clearly.

"That's right, Young Master. I've been working as your driver for the past 4 years," Bastian replied, occasionally glancing at Lexus from the windshield.

"Stop the car now!"

The black car stopped at the side of the road according to Lexus orders.

"What's wrong, Young Master?" asked Bastian, he turned to the rear passenger seat.

"I've a new assignment for you."

Bastian and Seth fell silent. They waited for Lexus to continue talking.

"I'll tell you a secret. Then listen carefully!"

No one dared to open their mouths. Their breaths stopped.

"My wife is Stella Drechsler and not Steffy Drechsler. The Drechslers have swapped their twins."

Sharp eyes accompanied by an emphasis on every word made Seth and Bastian understand how angry Lexus was with the mess the Drechsler family had made! However, both of them remained silent, waiting for the master to finish his sentence.

"Until now... none knew about this except the two of you."

Lexus looked at Seth and Bastian in turn. There was a disappointment as well as deep hatred in his eyes.

"Do you two understand?! If the world finds out, then I won't hesitate to get rid of you two."

Bastian nodded as a sign of understanding. While Seth blinked his eyes repeatedly.

"I always keep your secrets, Young Master. Although I'm not 100% a man, but you can trust me completely!"

With his feminine style, Seth exclaimed enthusiastically. Long before Lexus said that he was sure to keep his master's secret tightly.

"So do I, Mr. Lexus. I'll always keep your secret to death."

Bastian also said the same as Seth. He is proud to earn the trust of Lexus.

"There's one thing you must remember!"

Lexus almost forgot the most important part. He leaned back as he lit a cigar.

Beep! Beep! Beep!

The car windows were open. Lexus cast a glance outside the car.

"Innocent Stella doesn't know that I already know about her family's rottenness. So, you must remember to call her Steffy so that everyone won't suspect her!"

"I'll follow all your instructions, Young Master," said Bastian confidently.

"Well, apart from being Stella's personal driver, you'll also be her bodyguard. Keep an eye on her every move and report it to me! And, one more thing... help her if she's having trouble! Got it?"

Not without reason, Seth's eyes widened as if they were going to jump out of their sockets. And, not that Lexus didn't know, but that he pretended not to see his assistant's reaction.

"Oh yes, it appears that Young Master Lexus has fallen in love at first sight with Miss Stella. However, I think Miss Stella's a good girl. Her smile's cute, just like her demeanor."

***

After wasting time for 2 hours and 15 minutes, finally, the car in which the Lexus arrived at a large mansion with a Victorian style. The mansion is located in the city of Birmingham, with a sophisticated security system. Everyone knows that the Rodriguez family is the richest family in Great Britain, with a business empire that spreads from within the country to abroad.

"Please, Young Master!"

A guard opened the car door for the Lexus. Neither responding nor smiling, Lexus rushed into the main mansion building where his parents lived. He entered with Seth.

"Where's she?"

Lexus's two sharp eyes swept across the room. He's looking for someone.

"Good night, Young Master, and welcome back!"

The greeting just now came from Garry, the butler of the Rodriguez family mansion. A 58-year-old man who still looks dashing like his early 30s.

"Where's she?"

Lexus just asked without a preamble. He stood facing Garry.

"Do you mean Miss Steffy, Your Wife?"

"Are there any other women besides her?"

Gluck!

'What a snap, Young Master!' cried Garry in his heart with a little annoyance.

"Miss Steffy's already at your mansion, Sir," Garry answered Lexus's question patiently.

Without further ado, Lexus turned and left there.

"Thank you, Mr. Garry," Seth said representing his master and was immediately answered with a nod by Garry.

"Seth, come back to your pavilion!"

After giving the command sentence, Lexus immediately walked through the path to his mansion, which was on the left of the main mansion building.

"Yes, Young Master. Good evening and enjoy your first long night with your Wife!"

With a seductive tone, Seth said the sentence to Lexus. Of course, Lexus returned the favor by giving Seth his middle finger as he kept walking.

Bang!

Lexus opened the main door. Someone ran up to him from the living room.

"Young Master, You're back…."

Ella greeted Lexus. She is a 50-year-old butler, who works exclusively at the Lexus mansion. She's been taking care of Lexus since he was a toddler.

"Where's that woman?"

Lexus got up from in front of Ella. He searched for the source of the thick, alcoholic scent from the living room.

"Who just drank alcohol?!"

Feels a tense aura around the Lexus. Yes, he's mad!

"You know that I don't like the smell of alcohol in the house, do you?"

Now, the two pairs of eyes belonging to Lexus and Ella met each other. Ella felt uncomfortable with the intimidating stares Lexus directed at her.

"I-I know, Young Master," she replied guiltily.

"Then, what's this?"

Lexus pointed at 2 empty bottles and a beautiful glass in the middle.
