"Well, okay. I feel suffocated here anyway." Kate finally agrees, but deep inside, she's not letting her guard down. "After you..." Kei smiling asks her to lead the way. They were greeted by the early night wind as they walk their way to the wide road. They finally switched on all the lamp posts so the road are all lighted up. At the same time, there were some roaming security around the area, so she feels a bit safer. "Feels nice to finally get out here, huh?" Kate heard him speak again. "I have to admit, yeah." she replied. "I saw you at the party awhile ago and you look obviously bored. I feel the same way too. Those people bored me to tears trying to look cool to others, and they just want to be the center of attention. Pfft! Once they know about the harsh reality of life, they won't be as cool as they think they are..." Kei said, while shrugging his shoulders. "Well, let's just let them be. The reason why I transferred to the big city is because I want to finish my studies,
Kate is currently at the Cafeteria, and she's waiting for Kei. Kei wanted to celebrate his acceptance at Waldorf University's basketball team, so he promised that he will treat her.Kei just dropped by his dorm to take a quick shower and change his clothes."Look, isn't that the girl who was talking with Kei at the gymnasium?" she heard someone talking about her at the nearby table."Oh,yes, that's her! What's her relationship with Kei? Is she his girlfriend?" she heard another woman's voice."What the heck are you talking about? That's impossible. I mean just look at her! She's not fashionable, her face is below average and it's obvious that she doesn't have class! There's nothing special about her!" one of the girls stated.Kate closed her eyes, while counting one to ten to calm herself down. There's no point arguing with these snobby girls. She doesn't want to waste her time and energy just to go on a catfight with them..."Hi, Kate! Have you been waiting long?" she suddenly heard
Kei was about to answer the question when the Manager of Le Coup de Foudre Coffee Shop suddenly appeared infront of them."What's going on here, Kate? What's the commotion all about?" Mr. Burton tries to grill them."Just a little misunderstanding, Sir. Everything's under control." Kate tries to cover everything up."No, sir. Everything's not okay! As a customer, I have complaints!" Chelsea suddenly said, while looking like a victim."Is there something wrong?" the manager asks."You're employee here started saying bad things about me and my friends! She told us that we don't belong here!" Chelsea started weaving lies."That's true, Sir. We were just enjoying our coffee here and she started saying bad words to us." Jessica lied, without blinking."She called us "bitch!" Jenny added to the lie."They're all lying---!" Kei tried to defend Kate, but he wasn't able to do so because the Manager spoke again."Enough! The customers are coming now, and I don't have time to further discuss abo
"Well, you just woke up at a perfect time. I just finished processing your release papers and the doctor gave us the go signal to go home. We'll just have to wait for the nurse to pull out your dextrose." responded Kei.After a few minutes, a nurse came to her bed and helped her pulled out the needle from her hand that was connected to the dextrose.Afterwards, Kate saw her clothes folded neatly at the side table."I'll just do a quick change to the bathroom." she informed Kei. She got her clothes, and she made her way to the nearest bathroom.After a few moments, Kate went back to where she left Kei. She saw him waiting for her patiently..."Thanks for helping me. So, how much do I owe you?" she asked him.Kei curiously frowned at her."What are you talking about?" "Let's not waste our time here. How much did you pay for my hospital bill?" Kate asked again, as she was getting more impatient."Look, you don't have to worry about it, Kate." Kei stated.Kate's really tired of having l
"It's an honor and pleasure to meet you, Mrs. Margaret Ascott. I am Kate, and I'm going to be one of your househelper for a month." she politely introduces herself.Mrs. Ascott tenderly smiled at her."You don't have to be nervous, dear. Anyway, let me inform you that there are almost no strict rules in my manor. As long as you are doing your job, shows respect and good manners to the other people in this house, and as long as you don't do any bad or dangerous things inside the mansion, then we won't have any problems." the lady of the house informed her."So, that's it? There are no strict rules like what she usually watches on a television soap? There's no female villains who will make the heroine's life miserable?" Kate wondered to herself."---You must be wondering why I didn't set up any strict rules here at the Ascott Mansion. Well, I choose to trust all the people that I work with in my house, and that includes ALL of my househelpers, chauffers, and gardeners." Mrs. Ascott smil
"Kate? What are you doing here?" the man asked back in utter shock."Oh, my goodness! I'm working for your family!" Kate gasped in horror."Are you okay? You don't look so good." Kei was about to approach him but she steps back."I'm going to be fine, I guess. Let me just get out of here and I need to think before I go completely crazy!" Kate blurted out.She didn't wait for Kei to answer. She quickly left his room, and after that she immediately returned to maids' quarters and locked herself there. She paces back and forth into the room while she was biting her fingernails.Of all places, why did she become Kei household help?This is a total mess, and it's making her crazy!===================Few days have passed.Kate is currently watering the plants at the very huge garden. Their gardener called in sick, so Mrs. Ascott asked her to water the plants since it's summertime, and it's hot and humid...She feels like she is inside a novel of "The Secret Garden," which was beautifully
"Alright, then. I'll just go outside and get you something to eat so that you can eat something before you drink some medicine. Now, be a good boy Master Kei and I'll leave the door open. I'll be back soon..." Mrs. Prescott announced, while looking amused."I promise, I'll be good, Mrs. Prescott. I don't want you to spank me just like what you used to do when I was a kid." Kei jokingly teases the old butler."Very well. Ill be back soon." the old woman nodded in return, then afterwards,she left the room while leaving the door open...Once Mrs. Prescott left, Kei started talking again."Why didn't you tell us that you're not feeling good? We should have done something at an earlier time." he gently asked Kate."I thought that it was just a simple cold and flu. I never got sick like this before. So, I was just thinking that it will pass, and I can recover fast..." Kate tries to explain her side."But you were sadly mistaken. It's a good thing that You just need to drink some medicine an
"Hey, Kate!"Kate wanted to hide at the nearest rock because of embarrassment when she heard Kei's voice calling her name across the University's grounds.All of the students at the campus looked at her direction."Can't you tone it down? You're voice is so loud, and it looks like you're in the middle of a jungle!" Kate hissed at him, as he sat beside her at the bench."So... Would you like to come with me to shop for my clothes for the Homecoming Party? I should accompany you too since we're going to be partners..." Kei continues blabbing on.She can hear some collective gasps from the girls once they heard Kei's statement.Some of the guys also started whispering at each other, and they're all surprised to know that she and Kei will be partners for the homecoming dance."Can't you shut your big mouth? Why do you have to announce it like it's something really important?!" she angrily muttered at Kei."Why, what's wrong about being your partner at the dance? We're not doing something
