Chapter 21: Chapter 21

21

"Why did you go with him?" Wrum immediately asked me when we got here to the mansion.

The gaze I had fixed on my foot, I lifted it and turned to him. I don’t have to explain anymore because I know Xander has already told him that.

"Answer me!" he shouted at me again. He doesn't have to shout. We are just so close. Even if he whispers that to me, I can still hear it. It's quiet here in the mansion.

I swallowed before I could even speak. "Who wouldn't go with him and follow his commands? He's threatening me." I explained to him. "And I need to follow him. He's your father, I don't want to be hurt again."

"He hit you?" he couldn't believe that I tell him that. I just nodded at him. I didn't know that Xander didn't tell me what his father had done.

"Shit!" he cursed a word to me "Damn!"

"Don't worry about me. I am just nothing to you remember? You shouldn't worry about me." I said to him. That's right. Why does he worry about me so much?

"Why are you worried about me?" I asked him.

"Cause you are just nothing for me." That surprised me. I'm not deaf that I can't hear him.

I don't want to assume what he might mean, it's nothing and I am already creating some assumptions in my head. Maybe I am not just a slave for him. I am also his maid or something like that. And I think that was what he wants to mean.

I can’t explain how I feel right now. I was nervous because of what he said. Oh God, why did I feel this way about him?

I blinked a few times and swallowed then I averted my gaze from him. "I need to go to my room now," I told him and was hoping he would agree.

"Fine." he sparingly answered me.

"Do you want me to do something or do you want to command me to do something today?" asking him is what I think the best idea as a slave here in his mansion.

"I won't order anything from you. You better rest now," he said to me. That was pretty much okay to me.

"Your face turns pinkish. Did my father slapped your face?" he asked me curiously.

Damn hell, I touched my face to hid the pinkish face of mine. This is not because Don Guillermo slaps me, he didn't slap me at all, this was because of his stupid words that think my system a sweet word.

"No, I mean, your father didn't slap me at all. Your eyes might be the problem." I lied to him hoping he would believe me.

"Hey answer me! Don't just hide your face! What was that?"

"Nothing!" I shouted back at him. I immediately opened the door then I entered then closed it again.

He shouldn't have known the truth my face is like this. I should just know it. No one should ever know it, even Wim and other people of Wrum.

****

"What happened to Silic, did someone slapped her yesterday?" that's what I heard when I came out of my room. It was still early in the morning and still the topic of my pinkish face on the mind of Wrum. I thought he already forget that one.

Still, I am here on the second floor and do not want to go down so I could hear them talking about me. Well, that was completely stupid.

"Don Guillermo didn't slap him. As far as I could remember, Don Guillermo just tightened his neck so she could hardly breathe but thankfully, he stopped when I told him to do so." Xander explained everything that was happening yesterday.

"Okay. Just forget what I said and go back to your work." I heard Wrum say.

"Yes I will, boss."

Started to walk down the stairs, I saw Wrum in the living room sitting on the sofa and maybe wondering why my face turns pinkish or maybe I am just overthinking.

When he became aware of my presence, he immediately turned his gaze to me and stares at me seriously. Like I did something that can make him angry. Well, as far as I remember, I did not do anything wrong to him.

"Don't worry about my face. I wasn't slapped." I told him so he could stop thinking about it. "And my face turns that way because it reacts to what you have told me," I added honestly.

"I see." he sparingly answered me.

I nodded at him too.

"Are you okay now?" he asked me as he looked at his watch then he turned his gaze to me again.

"I'm always okay," answered him.

The collar on his long sleeve doesn't seem fixed when he wore and it seems he doesn't face the mirror when she was wearing it.

"Wait," I told him as I saw his collar on his long sleeve that it was not fixed.

"What?" he wondered. I didn't answer him and approached him.

Adjusted his collar. As I adjusted that, I knew he was staring at me. I can see it through my peripheral view.

"Your collar," I said to him while I was still standing close to him. Just a few inches and our lips are already kissing. "I will fix it. I saw it wasn't fixed at all." I explained.

He stared at me seriously. Did I do something bad to him? I am just adjusting his collar.

I swallowed while I stared at him. I just want to step backward but I can't move my feet away from him and it just like I want to be near him all the time. That wasn't a good idea at all.

"What?" he whispered. "Is there something in my face, it's like you're just staring at me?"

I swallowed once to shake him. Now I'm just staring at him closely. I can't help but admit that this billionaire is so damn handsome, but I shouldn’t feel this way about him.

"Nothing," I answer him.

I was about to step back but he suddenly stopped me. He placed his right hand on my waist and he brought me slightly closer to his body that made me feel his hard body.

"Wrum," I whispered.

Her body heats up. I can feel it the way my body is in the fire too. He is about to be kissed, but we heard someone speak upstairs.

"Too early for that one Wrum." we both hear it so I quickly walked away from Wrum and just stood properly next to him. I adjusted myself as I turned my gaze to the stairs.

I saw Wim coming down so I was surprised. Is he okay? Why did he come out of his bedroom?

"Damn it," whispered Wrum beside me.

"Are you okay Wim? Maybe your shoulder still hurts and you just forced yourself out." I asked him so he can forget anything he just saw.

"I'm okay Silic. You don't have to worry about me anymore. And one more thing, I've been resting for a few days as well." he explained to me when he reached here on the first floor.

I nodded at him.

He turned his gaze to Wrum.

"Next time, don't interrupt what we were doing Wim. I told you that before." Wrum reminds Wim.

Wim just smiled at what he said even though he had a serious look at him.

"Fine. Just don't do for adults only in the morning." Wim just told him.

Wrum almost kissed me and Wim almost saw us. Damn.
