(Dahlia POV)“Uhmmm Sir Venal, can you just drop me along the way? I can manage myself from there. I honestly need to do groceries first.”Change of mind. Buying ready-made food wouldn’t help me to save money, doing the grocery will do."I'll go with you, Miss Dahlia." I was surprised by his response. "Which supermarket do you shop for groceries?”Is he serious?! Perhaps he was mistaken to assume that I would stop at a mall to do the groceries. I mean a guy like him shouldn’t be in public markets. I can’t save money for a mall’s groceries department. The tax is too much. Then he doesn't even need to accompany me.“Sir Venal—.” I shook my head to decline. Yet…“I have to Miss Dahlia; I need to escort you. I’ll go with you.” He was staring at the rear mirror and our eyes met.He is deadly serious.“Sir Venal, it is for a commoner market. You don’t need to—.”“I got an order to drive you home safely. I should then escort you Miss Dahlia to your destination before home.”“Eh? Who’s order?
(Dahlia POV)Still Sir Venal carries those plastic bags for me. I’ve lost some of my money a while ago by treating unintentionally my superior with the big fish he bought. For I thought he is going to give me the money he is offering to the seller.I am wrong.“Master Storm will be glad Miss Dahlia to your treat.”“Hehehe.” I laughed in compellation.But I really noticed, the seller doesn’t bargain their price for me, even give me a discount. Is it because my companion is looking rich? Oh I couldn’t deny that fact, for he is obviously the son of a wealthy family and born with a golden spoon. Do I need to wonder, why did the seller fail me to give a bargain price?Tss. Worst, the seller even increases their price of what I buy from them. They are insane to do that! I have a priority, and that is… to save some money!However, chill Dahlia… Let's let Sir Venal do what he wants to do for you owe him.Since I met him, many blessings have come to me. He's the lucky charm I've been waiting f
(Dahlia POV)Cheaper? How can it be cheaper? Which of the goods I bought that cheaper? There is suddenly an inflation in its price. Also, those sellers are unbelievable because they took the opportunity to increase their price, they have their own reason, or they thought my companion could provide to pay. I wanted to complain about his statement but I choose to remain silent. I waste some of my fortunes. Completely splurge the cash I withdraw. And I don’t have any idea if I left some amount on my account because I didn’t check my balance. And even though I multiple times convinced him not to drop me off at home, he is serious to follow our boss's order, particularly driving me home safely and sound. Should I thank our boss for his generosity?Until I realize, we were in front of grandma’s house. The neighborhood is quiet and I don't think there is a neighbor who is curious to peek at their window. Hope those gossipers' minds have their dinner first. It’s already eight o’clock in t
(Dahlia POV)“Eh?” I was stunned.Sir Venal smiles in return. “Or perhaps please accept this in case of trouble or emergency, Miss Dahlia.”“But…” I sighed and took my protest back into my mind. For I am prolonging our time arguing this matter. It is still up to me if I am going to call him or not. I accepted the calling card but is seems familiar to me. This is the very same calling card he handed to me at the teashop. And way back then, I couldn’t remember where I put it. I hope he doesn’t remember that he already gives me one of these before. “Thank you Sir Venal for your kindness.”“Don’t bother to call me anytime Miss Dahlia.” “Ow-key…” Even though he said, I wouldn't let myself bother him and take advantage of his help. “Be careful on the way, Sir Venal.”He nodded. But we stay looking at each other and don’t know who should leave first. When he was about to take the grocery bags but I managed to take them away from him. “I can handle this. Grandma might think mistakenly tha
(Dahlia POV)When Sir Venal left I was relieved.I approached the light switch, for when I entered the house only the light that came from the figurine gave a dim light in the living room. I turned on the light as soon I find the switch box. And my heart almost dropped in my chest for I was surprised seeing grandma in a creepy state. She is sitting on her rocking-chair, and patiently waiting for someone’s arrival, and it is me.“You surprised me Grandma.” I am about to approached her to give a cheek kiss, but she is annoyed."Make me something to eat, I've been starving to death.” Grandma told me a little bit harshly. She looks like a young maiden having unbalanced hormones for her upcoming menstruation. However, I can tell that suddenly grandma’s treatment toward to me change for a while. Is it because of the money she received from the arrogant Kai Carter by selling her ancestor teashop? Are sudden wealth makes a man’s attitude change? Or she is hungry and runs of her patience while
(Yuki POV)I tried to write…Comfortable seats, my favorite table and I was even played by violists and pianists. But it's frustrating because the floor is once again full of papers that I can only write a few words on so I immediately throw them away.An assistant set down a glass of water and I stopped writing. I stared at him, and grinned. I immediately liked it and tore up the paper I was writing on which surprised me. Bowed in front of me and backed away.In my annoyance, I immediately sent the papers flying, threw stones at everyone on the table and stuck the pen on the table. TsI screamed and scolded myself.I don't really have anything good to write. I'm disgusted with myself.Sobbed and suddenly laughed. My brain and hands are so useless... There is not even a good story to write. If my editor sees me, he or my writing colleagues will surely laugh at me. Ts They should be killed!The pianist and violist didn't know if they were going to leave, because my staff blocked the do
(Yuki POV)"Yuki..." And I immediately turned to Kuya Kai who had just arrived. "What's the problem?""Their blend of tea Kuya Kai, even the smell does not match the tea made here." I complained to my brother and went to him to hug him. But he immediately sat down on the sofa, and his eyes moved to look at what I did in the place."I still can't write well, Kuya Kai. I need the maker of Milktea and his tea that we tasted when we passed by here. Where is he now?”"Just relax, Yuki. Sit down." And Secretary Cedrick arranged a seat for me.“No. No need to relax Kuya Kai. I don't know how to make a story anymore." Then I stared at my hand. "Here, you can't make a good story anymore."I saw Kuya Kai beckoning Secretary Cedrick to come to him. Even though my brother was staring at me, he said face to face... "Your editor, Mr. Owen, request for a psychiatrist season for you Yuki.”"What?!""Get some good psychiatrists, Cedrick."“No! What did Mr. Owen, am I crazy?!”"But sometimes Yuki, we h
(Yuki POV)I tried to write…Comfortable seats, my favorite table and there’s even violists and pianists to play a music. However, it's frustrating. I sighed in annoyance and my patience is running out again. My anxiety brought my rough self be uncomfortable to write. I close my eyes to keep my patience for the floor is once again full of crumples papers. Manuscript that full of bulshit crops! I can only write a few words on it, but instantly I lose my words to continue it.Shit.The last paper I have tried to write atleast two sentences has a same faith to the previous. That’s bulshit. The sweet melody turns into a sour music. I couldn’t identify if it is the haste of the violist or the inscribe notes they are following.…And I hate it.Once again I open my eyes. Directly gazed to the musician. I grin at them. My assistant finds my gaze displeased she initiate to approach the maestro and whisper something to change the music.Tss.I proceed to write again. Skipped on creating the t
(Dahlia POV)What time is it? Is Grandma asleep? Did she have a good dinner? Should I wake her up?Many questions are bothering me, but I couldn't help but inform her of my arrival."Grandma, I'm here." As I took off my shoes, and even though I am curious that Grandma didn't answer immediately, I just thought that she might be asleep.The night was getting deep.I hung my sling bag and took out the food that just needed to be heated from the fridge. But to be honest, I didn't feel like eating. But I still put it in the oven to heat it up. Tonight, I want to research what I can do to get my book back from Yuki. If I need an attorney, it may be impossible, but I will look for an affordable one if they charge.I was about to go up to my room when I glanced at Grandma's room door. So I decided to check on her.I opened the door slightly and peered at Grandma's bed. The room was quite dark, so I lit it up. Hopefully, Grandma won't wake up.When her room was lit, she wasn't on her bed. Wher
(Yuki POV)“While those bitches you call, have a status in the association.”I give him a forced smile. "I do not care Cedrick. As long my brother Kai was at my side I would never falter. Why not admit that you are just an envious creature. How pity. My brother Kai values someone like me a lot. Despite of being human, weak? But all my wishes are granted by him. Well, you're just his secretary and nothing more bond to you with my brother, but your job. He just orders you, and you need to obey. If you make him angry, he might punish you with death. Aren't you scared Cedrick?”It is time for me to push him at the truth's edge. “I am more precious than to his own kind.”He smirked. “Fine. Let’s see. I will let you go on your way Miss Yuki and test your brother’s treatment to you. If you thought that we are like dog, that have a sense loyalty to a human, you are in danger Miss Yuki.”“Dog. If you are dog, Cedrick, you will be the most outrageous one.”“Maybe. Especially having you as my ma
(Yuki POV)We arrived at the threshold of the company; I didn't bother to go to the reception desk. I went straight to the executive floor. And all the eyes I pass are normally peculiar, mostly werewolves. Why should I be surprised, Brother Kai was their Grand Alpha in this generation. Walking with a confidence I didn’t bother about my safety, who are they to attack their Grand Alpha's beloved sister? I was especially escorted with Grand Alpha’s men, and they were recognized by their fellow.I come here once a blue moon, after brother Kai talked to me after my previous visit. He warns me personally that it is dangerous for me. It might be too late for an attack if the newbies aren't informed about me.I knew the way exactly to his office, since there are no major changes. When I got to his office, the guard on the door met my gaze and I expected them to recognize me. They did as they opened the door. Even though I hadn't seen yet my brother, I greeted him sweetly, but it was wasted fo
(Yuki POV)When Mr. Owen left, I walked around the garden while the servants were taking care of the dog that I murdered. When I couldn't find peace and calm myself, I returned to their presence. They immediately halted to what they were doing and slightly bowed in front of me."Call Cedrick right now.” I take a seat. “I don't care what he's doing right now, I just want to know the whereabouts of my brother.""But Miss Yuki, the Master instruction will be violated, especially these hours, we should not disturb them.” The butler cares to respond."I know.” I looked at him. “But the only one that I respect is my brother Malcolm. Cedrick is my intention to be disturbed. You heard me clearly, right? It is him I want you to phone, not my brother. Don’t be stupid.”The butler bowed, even though there’s a hesitation but he couldn’t defy my words. He signals one of his men to phone the mere secretary of my brother.When Cedrick answered the call I couldn't wait to grab the phone from the butl
(Yuki's POV)“And who is she Miss Yuki? As you refer her as ‘her.’” I caught his curiosity.“You, yourself gave me that idea having a ghost writer. Didn’t you?” I didn’t bother to answer his inquisitiveness. But confirm with a nod. He likes the idea not only I would have an assistant to my career, also to divert my mood and he sees some hope that I won't take my anger out on him.“Though there is a problem finding her. It is only my brother who can tell me where I can find her. But it's just a simple problem not to compromise your time especially in part of my brother. Tss. She is just a mere aspiring writer. It is easily to find her. If she declines me even though I place a few cases of money in front of her, she is prideful of herself. Didn’t she, Mr. Owen.”“I agree with you on that Miss Yuki.” Tsk. He always agreed in front of me. “I know she will not decline you.”“I hope so. I hope she is like you who sells his integrity.” Then I grinned at him. I slap him with my words so good.
Alexandra POV)“Tss. This is the reason why you are willing to visit me? I think I need to repeat myself again Mr. Owen. If they make a movie adoption, won't there be a lot of maggots stealing my idea? Make it as a cliché. Get some inspiration and they will make a different version so that it won't be seen that they plagiarized it? Don’t you get it Mr. Owen?”In truth, the real reason behind is I don’t want to make the story famous that I didn’t write. If I let them make a movie adoption, it is obvious that a lot of movie enthusiast will love it. It is like a silent bullet for myself, that proves there is someone better than me.I hate it. I don’t want to lose to that mere commoner!Dahlia… Who are you to take everything away from me?! I need to put an end of this.“Miss Yuki. Please consider and think about it. We both aware that this is possible to your story. It is also part of the contract you signed with our company."“Tss. How sweet. Owww. Thank you for your concern but I am not
(Yuki POV)I couldn’t wait him without doing something. I might end up killing those around me.“Prepared the garden for me and gather those ingredients for brewing the tea.”“As you wish Miss Yuki.” They hurriedly move and before I can reach the garden, they settle the things that I need. I am determined to beat that woman. I hate her. I really do. Even though I didn’t meet her in person. In case it happened I might kill her.Brewing some various type of tea in garden might help me inspired. However, I ended up wasting the ingredients without determining the proper brewing her tea. Tsk. What is her magic? If the taste of my tea didn’t satisfied me, it is also means that brother Kai will don’t like it. Of course he will compliment my effort but hide the fact that I couldn’t beat his woman’s tea. Bulsh*t! Tsk.The butler arrived and bowed in my presence. “Miss Yuki, your editor has arrived.”“Show him the way here.”Mr. Owen was escorted in, and when he saw me, he greeted me with a c
(Yuki's POV)Everything seems placid to me. Too comfortable early in the morning. Taking a welcome breath of the moist air. It is fresh and too serenity. I guess there a group of people praising my name without my knowing. I will be glad.“Miss Yuki!” I incline my head toward the direction where the voice come. “You have a call. It is from Mr. Owen.” It is the butler.I immediately got up from my seat, and approached the butler before he could get to me. I grab the phone, and Mr. Owen happily greeted me in the line. I know it is impossible to reject the manuscript I sent to him. It is my hurl to them and will change their perspective about my stain reputation. They will be glad, satisfied and flattery words will never omit again. No one will gonna believe now how they discriminate me. I am still the best writer, ever. Tsk.“Good morning Mr. Owen. Your call, I expect that you have a good reason.”“Miss Yuki, your so awesome! I am delighted with your masterpiece. The novel you submitted
(Secretary Venal POV)After Miss Dahlia makes her exit the tension grows more intense. There is a deafening silent when suddenly Master Dryzen laughter fill the entire chamber. Everyone feels an intimidation, which makes us bow down in his direction. His laughed turn into a chuckle.He is entertained. “You know Venal, I think the two weeks I have given to you are too long. It seems like century. I think I might run out of my patience for you to persuade that woman. Of all the women I married, she is the only one who gives me a strange attitude. She struggles to fought but it was obvious that she is weak. How long will she stand to decline my offer? She is getting into my nerves.”I admit, what he is telling me is not good to hear. Still rooting he doesn’t try to rush this matter. Two weeks was not enough for me to convince his chosen. Having a tea with her is tough to request."Just make sure I don't get bored and have my schedule full for I wouldn’t dare to cut my given time to yo
