It was Saturday and Elena's day off. She knew from ‘Jack’ last night that the young master won’t be home for a few days because he had some business out of town. And this was her chance to find a replacement for the plate she accidentally broke last night.This morning when Elena said goodbye to Ben the butler, the old man sent her away and laughed awkwardly, saying that she could replace the plate with anything she could get at the grocery store.It was strange, the plate looked so expensive and authentic. She thought it would cost hundreds of dollars just for one plate. But both ‘Jack’ and Ben said the same thing, that it was cheap, nothing expensive about it.Whatever it was, Elena felt relieved. Even so, she thought maybe her range of cheap and expensive were different to them, so she planned to buy a fairly expensive plate as a sincere apology to the young master.From the Villa to the orphanage only takes two hours, because the Villa was located in the forest on the outskirts of
When young master Zachary Dawson arrived at the villa and they all stood there to greet him, Elena did not even look at the person who had hired her. Although she was initially very curious about Zachary Dawson's face, at that moment, Elena felt more uneasy.She also felt strange, as if she was sure that she would immediately meet the young master's gaze if she lifted her head just a little. And she wasn't ready for that. Whether it was because of her guilt for making mistakes so many times a few days ago, to the point of breaking one of the plates in the main kitchen, or, because of Henry's words at that time.She still clearly remembered the expression on Henry's face when she told him where she actually worked.“Villa Dawson? You mean Zachary Dawson? Elena! You don’t really work there, do you?” Henry panicked. He stared at her wide-eyed and leaned forward as if he didn’t hear her clearly. Making her surprised by his reaction.She could only nodded in response, which immediately mad
Finally, per Zachary ‘s request who Elena called 'Jack”, she cooked dinner for the two of them.At first Ben and the male waiter were still there. Elena didn't mind having someone help her and invited the man who looked to be in his twenties to cook with her. But for some reason he was nervous and glanced at Ben for a couple of times.“Are you feeling unwell?” Elena asked curiously and approached, but the poor man who was already covered in cold sweat immediately jumped away from her.This made Elena also shocked and took a few steps back to get away from him. Her brow furrowed in wonder. Why did the man seem afraid of her? Was she that scary?The man realized what he had done and bowed several times while muttering an apology to her. Ben quickly mediated the situation so that it would not seem too suspicious. He apologized to Elena because it was true, the maid suddenly felt unwell and had to immediately rest in his room.“Excuse me,” Ben led the man and they appeared to bow slightly
After feeling more relieved, Elena could think clearly and she started to be cheerful again. ‘Jack’ was right, she should just focus on her work.He turned his head to the side to look at 'Jack' who was walking leisurely beside her, just like she was now enjoying a leisurely walk in the back garden of the villa.After finished her dinner, She was full and wanted to take a short walk to help her digestion. She was also not that sleepy and told 'Jack' to rest first.However, 'Jack', whose real identity Elena still didn't know, said that he wasn't sleepy at all.“Aren’t you tired yet?”“Hmm, no.”Elena nodded, "I want to take a walk in the rose garden behind the villa, it's very beautiful there, the air is cool too, do you want to come?"And here they were, walking slowly side by side, sometimes their sleeves even brushing against each other. Elena noticed it, and only made her blush, her heart was beating faster but she tried to act normal. If she moved away, it would make things even m
They sat on one of the long park benches. Enjoying the view under the beautiful moonlight for a while longer while talking talking to each other."If I may ask since when have you been working here?" Elena spoke to Zachary who was sitting next to her.Again, this was the umpteenth time he had sat next to a woman and he didn't feel the slightest bit disgusted or uneasy.He actually felt that time was passing too quickly and didn't want it to end too quickly. He sat back, took a deep breath, and crossed his legs casually.“Since I was fifteen.” His deep voice sounded clear in Elena’s ears.The beautiful girl stared at him in amazement, “Wow! You’ve been working since then? That means you’re close to the young master, right? Is the young master the same age as you or is he older?”“Same age as me,” he answered again. He looked at her and let his mouth answer all of her curiosity. Keeping her by his side longer.Besides, he was curious, when would Elena realize that he was Zachary Dawson?
Zachary was already in his bedroom.Instead of taking his body to rest on the bed, he sat on the window railing, still enjoying the moonlight, with the cool wind touching his skin.After typing something on his phone, he stared at the screen for a couple of seconds, made sure Ben replied his text, He breathed out the smoke from his nose and mouth once he knew the old butler carried out his order right away.He leaned his head as his eyes were gazing to none, where his head full with Elena’s beautiful face. The night wind made the leaves and twigs rubbing against each other, and the sounds of it so peaceful to ones ears. But all he could hear was Elena’s soft voice.I am not afraid, she said. Her perfect eyebrows frowned as her soft cheeks reddened. She looked so determined with all her words but her beautiful green eyes couldn’t lie. They were wavering, but the sparks in her eyes remained there.He wondered. How would she react if she knew that he is the young master she was talking ab
The room was almost dark, if not for the open curtain on the window, letting the bright moonlight to enter, bask in half of the bed, where someone was sleeping on it peacefully.A faint footsteps could be heard, but the sleeping beauty didn’t even hear it. She was way to far in her dreamland, didn’t even notice the devil was right there in her room, walking slowly towards her.Zachary Dawson stopped right in front of the bed. His eyes were set on the sleeping body, then looking around the room. It was way smaller than his room obviously, but she arranged it neatly. The moment he stepped in, he already pleased with how clean and neat this room was, moreover the scent it welcomed him. This room smelled just like her.Sweet, fresh, and soft. Just like those flowers she like.He walked closer, until his leg touched the edge of the bed. He sat, made the bed sunk on her side, but she didn’t even flinch.Zachary faint smirk showed up when he saw the half finish orange juice on the table side.
"What?! Why??" Her green eyes widened in shock. It was not the news she was expected, nor the one she would think of when she knew who she was working for. "S-Second floor? Next to h-his room? Mona what are you talking about? she stammered in panic Mona on the other hand, tried to look calm but her wavering eyes couldn't hide her true feelings. She was afraid for her. This poor child, she prayed God would save her from the devil. "Miss Elena..." she finally said, "...Ben told me to help you get ready, and pack your things..." "But why?" "renovation..." She used the made-up excuse. She knew there is no thing such renovation will going on. At least not suddenly like this. "Really?" Elena wanted to ask why she need to move next to young master Dawson's room when she could just move to one of the maid's room, or Mona's. But her attention quickly diverted when a male servant came up and asked her which one hen Ould move first. Elena gave up and let them brought her thi
"What?" Elena squinted her eyes on suspicion to the man standing next to her, as all he did was staring at her with that stupid small smile on his handsome face. Zachary didn't say anything but instead, he kept looking at her like, bent himself to his level until their face almost touched. Only when Elena splashed some droplets of water onto his face with her fingers then he stopped and laughed."I thought you were still mad at me." He said, smirking, wiping his face with a tissue. Elena looked at him and thinned her lips to hold her smile as she saw that he didn’t angry after she did that.“I’m not mad.” Elena took a sigh. She cut the meat skillfully. “Besides, I just need to show people that I won’t be a weakling.” Elena pouted at him.“Who said you were weak?”“Isn’t that what you all mean?” She muttered."You all? Who?" He frowned at her.“Stop asking. Help me with this.” Elena handed me a small basket of vegetables that needed to be washed.Zachary Dawson, the tattooed and fier
