Maybe it's like that when you are a business tycoon and an influential and powerful... Oh no, no! Hudson is also a business owner, but he doesn't seem strict. He actually seemed lunatic, for Christ's sake! One of the things I didn't like about that man. His type is more the mysterious type... A good boy is one who is easy to obey.After our argument two days ago, Hudson seems to have changed; he acted like we were on good terms, like we hadn't shouted at each other."Stop staring at me, woman," Hudson said, who's sitting across the table."I'm not, Mr. Butler," Hudson chuckled, and it sounded cool in my ears.
