The Next Day "Have all these bought today." "And remove those which probably will not be needed. El- The Young Master doesn't like them." "Okay, I'll do as you say." The Old Butler, Sebastian nodded seriously. Last night he and Madam Anderson had a long talk and from what he gathered from that conversation, this maid was special to his Old Madam. 'Then, she must have known Young Master Elian too.' "You must adhere to what she says, Sebastian, even if it's unreasonable. I'll compensate you later." Madam Anderson chuckled, adoration percolating from her words. "...Okay, Madam." After the call was over, Sebastian sighed. The Old Madam seemed very fond of Ria. "You... What the h*ll are you doing?" Sasha shrieked. "What am I doing?" Zaria cocked a brow. "Why don't you tell me since I'm unaware?" Noticing how Zaria was putting on an attitude with her, Sasha was as mad as a hornet. "Do you think you're some owner of this place here giving orders?" When she saw Zaria's
"The public is going crazy. You're getting a lot of hate comments on your profile and so many people are cursing you for being a beast. They are saying you used a girl and now you're throwing her away. Boycott Malcolm Augustus trend has been reaching everyone's ears rapidly."Malcolm sucked a breath, "What did my dad say?""With the increasing public pressure, he is suggesting to..." Manager Charles gulped. He was certainly aware that he was pushing himself to jump from a high cliff that had sharp stones on its ground. Once fallen, those sharp pieces would pierce him from his behind to his front. "To...?" "To leave this profession and join him in the company.""..." Two minutes passed, and the poor manager finally experienced what he knew was inevitable. Malcolm Augustus burst into flames. His veins popped out as he flung a glass on the floor, hard. It broke into little million pieces. 'Poor glass. How many he has broken till today?'Manager Charles winced. "Tell him under no
"Here are the things, Uncle Sebastian. I'm going to my room now. Don't let anyone disturb my rest." Although Ria did take her revenge on that man by advising him to go for treatment, she was still sad for those fresh-scented flowers. "Ah-?" The Old butler Sebastian was a little baffled. 'What happened to this girl? Wasn't she ecstatic earlier? So strange.' "Why Young Master Anderson doesn't eat lunch here?" Zaria asked out of the blue when she had her complete rest. "He eats in the company." "But isn't this unhealthy?" Zaria frowned. Sebastian was about to respond, but... "What's with you calling Mr Anderson the Young Master? You think it's some medieval 16th, 17th century?" Sasha, who had just arrived made fun of Ria. Zaria quietened down and even Sebastian made a face. First things first, it was rude to interrupt others. Since Sebastian could not say anything, so Ria did the education on his part, indirectly. "It's the respect and manners we all are taught since ch
Zaria's eyes squinted at the strong light above her. Before she could assimilate to the light, Elian's head blocked it. Elian, who had come downstairs to drink water, frowned when he saw the entrance gate open. Before he could see properly, it all went dark. Who knew the person he had caught under him was the person he had run away from? "How are you here?" Elian inquired, forgetting everything around. Zaria blinked. Inside her mind, she was: 'Control!''Control!' 'Do not-''You aren't a beast, Ria.'To say she was thrilled, would be an understatement. The pinning scene in which the Male lead and Female lead..."Erm...I," Zaria glanced at his arm that was trapping her from one side, from the corner of her eyes and bit her lips. Elian followed the trail of Zaria's eyes and backed away slowly. "Sorry." "Cough." Zaria looked down at her hands, now sitting on the couch. "Sorry, too." "How long have you been living here?" "Not long. Just... a few days."She stared at Elian who w
"Get up!""Mr Mason, rise and shine!" Mason grumbled, "Do I look like a child to you?" He was having such a nice dream of him hugging Jess, but Parker's annoying voice woke him up. Furthermore, today was the day his rival in love was going to arrive, so his mood was extra off. He had to intimidate him so that bast*rd could back off willingly without Mason doing anything to destroy him.Yawning, Mason stretched, "What time is it?" "Past 9 a.m." "What the h*ll! Didn't I tell you both to wake me up at sharp 6?" Mason quickly shot up from the bed, glancing here and there. "We're at fault." Tyler quickly looked away from Mason and lifted the extra beds that were on the floor. "Yeah, we are. Sleep got the best of us." Parker's eyes nearly closed again. He could not get a wink last night due to Mason's torture. Mason discussed whatever strategies that came to his mind with both men. They even played cards together for their bonding time. "Have you guys seen him?""I haven't but Tyl
Mason blinked."Where is this voice coming from?" The soldiers started to look around, suspicious thinking that an enemy had invaded their place. "It's my backpack." Mason casually commented, seemingly turning normal in front of others but only he knew how he wanted to push Kade away from his Jess. "Really?" Curious, the soldiers who called him coward some moments ago, were now surrounding him with wide eyes. "Yep." Mason was all smug as he glanced at Kade from the corner of his eyes. So it was what they called, 'when the tables get turned?' "It tells exactly what is wrong with the body the little device is supporting and tells what majors should be taken to accommodate to the situation present. This is just a prototype though. I'm still working on its improvement."'Ha, can he rival me in brains?'What Mason was looking for, was something he could not find in Kade. All his smugness turned to disappointment. Where was the negativity he was seeking!Kade had no jealousy, no feelin
Master Anderson was reading the newspaper when his wife, Madam Anderson, suddenly announced, "Dear, I want to visit them." Upon hearing her, he looked up."Didn't you say you wanted to give them time to settle into their lives themselves?" "It's been days, John. Without my princess, this place feels empty." Madam Anderson mumbled. She used to miss Elian when he was not with them, but Zaria was always there to give her company. Now that Zaria had married, without having her around, Mia Anderson felt lonely. Master Anderson arched a brow, "I thought my company was enough for my wife?" Since Madam Anderson said nothing, sighing, he got up and sat beside her."I miss them."He took her hand in his and coaxed her gently, "They both have grown up, honey. They don't want us to look after them anymore." "I know but what's wrong with visiting them? I don't believe they won't like us coming to their home," Madam Anderson frowned. She really wanted to go see them. "Okay, okay, we'll do w
"You have misunderstood," Zaria said as she tried to escape from the uncomfortable grasp."Don't try to act innocent! I have caught you red-handed and now you say I'm misunderstanding?" Sasha was not letting go.She had got the opportunity to get Ria out of this place. How could she let it go?"I'm not going to say it again. Let go." Sasha was appalled when she felt the overbearing pressure from Zaria's gaze and words. Once again Sasha felt an inferiority complex hitting her.Gritting her teeth, she yanked Ria's hands with force and pulled Ria with her. Unbeknownst to both of them, something fell from the wardrobe but none of them paid attention to it."Where is everyone!""Why are you shouting, Miss Sasha? Others are gone already, so why are you still here?" Sebastian was massaging his temple. Hearing the high-pitched tone gave him a headache."Why–" Sebastian halted as he saw the two girls together. As soon as his eyes went to Sasha's hand which was gripping Ria's, he frowned."–Are
