Chapter 4: Embarrassment

Chapter 4: Embarrassment

Sofia’s POV

“You need to stay here until his young master arrives,” Mr. Wu said. I look around the whole place. I feel nervous and thrilled at the same time.

This place was screaming power and wealth. I can’t help but wonder what is my purpose here. “Are you listening, Miss Sanders?”

“Yes. I’m listening. But may I ask why we are here? I thought I was used as payment. You will sell me, right?” Mr. Wu’s face remained serious, but I could see a little amusement in his eyes.

“You think so?” He asked. I shook my head and laughed a little. “No. You know what? Even if you guys take me away, I don’t feel you bad at all,” I answered honestly.

They look more harmless than my aunt. “I see. What do you think why you are here then?” I don’t know, but I have an idea.

“I will work here as a maid? Or I’m right that you will sell me,” I joked the last part. I saw the edge of his lips rise, but just a second.

His face went serious again, “None of the two. You will know later. His young master will tell,” My brow furrowed. He’s been mentioning that young master since earlier. Who is that?

“Anyway, please follow me. I’ll show you your temporary room,” he said when he noticed my silence. I only nodded my head and followed him again.

“By the way, I’m Ryan Wu. His young master’s secretary,” he introduced himself. Why won’t he mention his master’s true name? I set aside that thought in my mind.

“I’m Sofia---” Before I could introduce myself, he looked at me. “I already know you, Miss Sanders.” Yeah, I know that. But it will be so rude of me if I don’t introduce myself personally, right?

“So, here we are,” we stopped walking, and he opened the door. “This will be your room. Please settle down; you can rest if you want to. We will leave you here now,” he said.

He’s so professional.

“Wait before you go. I wanted to ask when your young master will come?” I stared at me.

“Honestly, I don’t know because he’s a busy man. But don’t worry, it will be today or tomorrow,” he answered. I see, a busy man then.

“Thank you.” He only nodded and turned his back on me. I closed the door and sighed. This room is larger than my apartment. How rich the owner of this is?

“Okay, Sofia. You should hope the owner of this won’t kill you,” I muttered to myself. I approached the queen-sized bed. It looked so soft like it was inviting me to lie down and sleep again.

I shook my head. It is early in the morning; maybe it is not prohibited to roam around this place. I went out of the room and went downstairs.

The surroundings are so quiet as if no one lives here. Am I the only one who’s here at the moment? Or could there be a ghost? No, even if there is, I’m not afraid of them.

I went inside the kitchen first. First of all, if Mr. Wu’s not sure when his young master will come back, I need to know if there’s a supply of water and food here.

The kitchen is large and spacious. It looks very neat and clean, too. Kitchen appliances and tools, check. I slowly approached the fridge and checked inside. My eyes widened slightly at what I saw; it was filled with food and drinks.

I guess I can survive here for one month. Great, I hope Mr. Wu’s young master won’t come back. I close the fridge and step back. This will be my favourite spot.

A smile formed on my lips. This is great. What a good life.

I’m currently lying in my bed while watching a movie. It’s been two days since I came here, and I’ve been all alone in this mansion. Does Mr. Wu’s young master really have no plans of coming back?

Well, if that’s the case, I’ll take over his mansion then. It seems like he is incredibly wealthy, and he doesn’t want this mansion anymore.

I chuckle at that thought. I feel like an evil witch claiming something I don’t own. I laughed once again; gosh, am I going crazy here?

I got up from the bed when I felt thirsty. I was about to go downstairs to get some water when I heard a faint noise. Damn, what is that? Is there really a ghost here?

Even though I’m not afraid of ghosts, I can’t help but be afraid. “Hmmm… ugh..” My brow furrowed. Is that a moan? Where is it coming from?

I slowly followed where those voices were coming from. Am I only imagining what I’m hearing? As I got closer to the room, the noises grew louder.

“That’s it! More please!... ugh!” I blink twice. The heck? There’s someone here aside from me now? I went closer to the door and listened more.

But I stopped when I noticed the door was actually open. Is Mr. Wu’s back now? I smirk and went closer to see what’s really happening. Maybe he’s just watching some adult movie.

I approached the door and peeked inside a bit. But what I saw next sent a cold shiver down my spine. I didn’t expect it; I mean, I’ve seen such things before, but not like this.

And damn, it’s not Mr. Wu inside. It’s someone else I don’t know. They were having sex right in front of me. I closed my eyes immediately, and I was about to leave, but I accidentally pushed the door.

My eyes widened in shock. Shit! I saw the way they stopped moving and looked at me with the same expression as mine.

I pulled the door closed and ran away. Damn, that was embarrassing, I never intended to disturb them. That was unintentional. I shook my head and lightly slapped my face.

Please tell me that was just a dream. Gosh, I’m crying inside now. How can I unsee what I saw? I can’t forget the way he thrust inside her.

Sofia, erase that scene in your mind, please.

If that man is not Mr. Wu, then he is the mansion’s owner. I doubt if someone can do something like that here aside from the boss.

Shit, I’m screwed. How will I face him then? Oh wait, I just saw it; I’m not the one who did it. There’s nothing to be embarrassed.

That’s right, Sofia. Maybe if you meet here, just act innocently. Pretend like you did not see anything
