Slave

Mr. Enrick looked at me. His lips seemed moving, like he wanted to say something to me. Sure enough, just as I was waiting for an answer. Mr. Enrick asked, "Do you want to be my slave?"

I didn't think long. I nodded my head slowly in response. However, Mr. Enrick was not predictable. A second later, he said again, "There are already many servants here. I don't need you as an extra."

Mr. Enrick seemed to approach me with a scary look on his face. I could feel his anger at my words. I felt the atmosphere become tense, and suddenly, he said again. "Realize your place."

My body trembled at his words. A second later, I tried to raise my voice. "I can do anything for you, sir. I can also be a spy and find the person spreading rumors about you. Or, I could also clear your name by pretending to be your lover."

I could feel the pressure from the look in his eyes. A long time ago, I had seen Mr. Enrick come into contact with a woman. Then he cleaned the part of his body that had just come into contact with her. So, I thought he must hate women.

Not wanting to be further distressed by the atmosphere here, I spoke up again. "Mr. Enrick can use me. I can be a pretend woman for you."

I spoke several times, but Mr. Enrick seemed to ignore my words. "Or... later, I can work to repay the money you lent me." I felt nervous whenever I opened my voice while Mr. Enrick remained silent.

Instantly, my heart was beating fast. My feelings were getting more and more chaotic, especially since Mr. Enrick seemed to be very angry with my words. I swallowed a few times until Mr. Enrick continued his sentence. "Alright, you can be my slave." After that, he gave me a sharp look and turned around.

"Thank you, Mr. Enrick. I am very grateful." My body almost jumped in excitement when I heard him reply. Luckily, I could restrain myself and thank him after hearing Mr. Enrick's reply.

Without realizing it, I found myself holding Mr. Enrick's hand. My heart was so happy that I didn't realize I had moved spontaneously and touched Mr. Enrick. Instantly, he withdrew his hand and gave me another frightening look. "A slave should have manners."

I paused and stopped acting stupid in front of Mr. Enrick. He did not seem pleased with my attitude. The atmosphere became so intense that it made me feel suppressed and truly a slave of Mr. Enrick. Not only that, but a strange feeling arose that gave me goosebumps.

When I felt that strong aura, Mr. Enrick turned around and was about to continue his walk, however, I immediately asked him, "Mr. Enrick, when can I get the money?"

My voice again stopped him in his tracks. He was standing right at the door with his body halfway out of the room. For some reason, my heart always races when Mr. Enrick seems to dislike the sound of my voice in his ears. "Just wait."

His answer dumbfounded me. Just as I was about to speak again, I saw that Mr. Enrick had left and disappeared behind the door. It made me very uneasy. I didn't know the meaning of his words. Many bad thoughts were running through my head at the moment.

"What if he's lying? Why was I so stupid and believed him? Moreover, I've made so many unreasonable offers to myself. It seems like I was too bold with my decision." I was distraught inside, and I was not at ease while I was alone in that room.

Both my legs could support my body. I could even stand and walk normally now. But, it was restlessness that had made me get up from that big bed. I walked to and fro with thoughts of the money Mr. Enrick had promised.

"What should I do?" I kept thinking of things and plans in case he lied to me. But, no matter what I did, I thought it would be useless.

I bit my fingernails to ease the uneasy feeling. However, it still didn't calm me down under these circumstances. So many thoughts came to mind about Uncle Martin's condition. Until now, I didn't know how he was. The last time, it was only the nurse's voice that said his condition required immediate surgery.

However, I suddenly heard a ring from my cell phone. I quickly rushed to receive the call. "hello?"

"Hello, Miss Noella. I'm the hospital nurse to inform you about the successful payment. As for the next course of action, Mr. Martin will be operated on in a few hours. The hospital is preparing the operating room at the moment." The news from the hospital allowed me to breathe a sigh of relief. I could even catch my breath easily at the moment.

"Thank you for the notification. Soon, I will come to the hospital. I want to see how my uncle is doing after my business is done." My words now made me think of a way to escape this place.

After the call ended, I thought about leaving the room and meeting Mr. Enrick. After all, he promised to pay Uncle Martin's hospital bill so that the surgery could be done immediately.

I also wanted to be there when Uncle Martin was in the operating room. I wanted to see for myself how things were going. This desire prompted me to run out of the room. However, right in front of the door to the room, my steps stopped because a man was standing there, right in front of me.

"Miss Noella, I'm Gary, the butler of this house." The man greeted me very politely, even more pleasantly than the owner of this house.

Gary was dressed like a typical butler. He was wearing a black vest and tie. I looked him up and down. An elegant and clean appearance. However, Gary didn't look like a butler. He was even more worthy of being a manager or something. His hair looked neat, he had brown eyes, and he had a distinctive body scent.

"Where is Mr. Enrick? I'd like to see him." I don't want to waste time just talking here, my time is pressing, and I need to get to the hospital right now.

"Mr. Enrick said, if you need anything, you can tell me." Why did Gary look like he was blocking me? I didn't know which part of the house he was in.

"I want to thank Mr. Enrick, and I have to go to the hospital right now." I'd better leave a message for Gary to deliver to Mr. Enrick.

However, just as I took a step, Gary returned and said, "You will be escorted to the hospital, Miss." Hearing his words took me by surprise. I couldn't say anymore and just nodded.

A driver drove me to the hospital. It was the first time I had received such special treatment. Not wanting to linger on what happened a moment ago, I ran from the hospital lobby to the operating room.

Luckily, I arrived before my uncle entered the operating room, so I could see him being ushered in by some nurses. With a worried face, I prayed for my uncle, hoping everything would go smoothly and be fine.

In front of the operating room, I continued to wait. I didn't do much, just sat and stood, then walked up to the door with the red light on at the top. Hoping that the light would turn green and a doctor would come out to give me good news.

However, until now, I haven't gotten a single word from inside. What her condition is and if the surgery went well, no one knows except those inside.

In this restlessness, I hope Uncle will be fine. I don't know what to do if my uncle isn't around. There are still many things I can't give to repay his kindness during my lifetime.

"Why are they in there for so long?" I was just wondering about the time running so slowly until I didn't care about myself, who had just recovered.
