XXIX. Meeting Who

Cassey woke up in a room. “Mom?” ‘Who is calling me, Mom?’ “Mom, please this is Harley...” “Harley?” Cassey suddenly remembered everything when she heard of the child’s name. It was her pupil’s name. But she had one thing to worry. “What happened to me, Harley?” “You don’t remember at all, Mom?” “You passed out on the streets, Mom. People keep saying that you are just acting but you were definitely knocked out.” The child who answered was Torus. “Before passing out, what happened to me?” They suddenly went silent. “We really don’t know Mom, because someone is chasing us.” “Chasing you?” ‘They were the thieves?’ Torus noticed Cassey’s hesitant glance. “Mom, we are not thieves. Promise, we are not thieves. Those bad guys wanted to abduct us. They wanted to sell us.” “Sell? Why would they sell children? And to whom?” “If you really want to know, then why don’t we go for a tea, Miss Cama?” Cassey searched for the source of such a lovely honey voice. It

XXX. We Finally Met

Who…? He was a long-built kid. His eyes are deep blue, like the depths of an abyss no one has ever touched. Those eyes are not as brilliant as Ashanti’s but they shine on their own. “You have been staring for a while.” Cassey flinched. His voice was deeper than anyone else, but she felt it was really familiar. It must be because she met him already before. “I am sorry. This humble servant could not help but stare at your eyes.” He lifted the end of his lips. “I know who you are, and that you are not a humble servant just like what you claim to be. So, be at ease, Lady. We are here for a cooperation.” “It seems that you have known each other already.” “We haven’t, Headmistress.” “The lady was right. It was

XXXI. Contract Signing

Cassey returned home with an exhausted body and soul. The fatigue can be seen from the dark circles beneath her eyes, and her dry lips that longed for a glass of cold fruit juice.“You look weary.”The man sighed and went back to the kitchen upon receiving no response from a very tired woman. He came back with a plate of bacon sandwich and a glass of mango juice served in a platter, a snack no one would dare to refuse.Upon placing it on the table, Cassey aggressively ate the bread and quickly drank the juice. Cai was startled at her desperate actions, but thoughtfully understood her.“Where have you been? The Madame of the orphanage, was it Oprah, or Orfa? Olga?”The young lady who was busy chewing and swallowing her food did not even bother to correct him.“Well, whoever she is. She told me that you filed a work leave because of personal matters. What are those matters Cassey? Can I be of help, in any way?”Cassey raised a thumb up and rushed to the comfort room.“Ah, she really is

XXXII. Another Dinner

Cassey was crouching while watching the shadows on the floor. She could see two lovebirds were playing cheerfully. The green leaves were swaying in the clear blue sky. It was a peaceful sight that perfectly contrasted the busy morning streets. Actually, the lady is busy too. “Is everything there?”She turned her head to Cai who was leaning on the door, staring at the bags beside Cassey.“Yes.”She muttered as she unbent her legs slowly and heaved a deep sigh.“Are you sure?”“Of course. It is not hard to count two bags of clothes, Cai.”Cai sighed. Cassey was carrying her two bags of clothes.“Are you sure you won’t need my help anymore?”“I am certain, Cai. I am just transferring to the unit next door. Carrying these bags won’t do harm. I don’t even think it could cause a sore in my arms.”Cassey was not wrong. Back when she was in the Timmerhaus Estate, she used to carry a high pile of files from the office of the former countess, Lady Cynthia, back to her room – which at the time

XXXIII. Cassey's Wish

“What’s with that look?”Cai sighed and his lips curved to a smile.“I was the one who should ask you that.”What could that mean? Cassey slid her fingers through the strands of her uncombed hair and dusted off her shoulders. At that moment, she realized one thing.“Cassey, could it be…? Woah, pfft! Did you really forgot changing your clothes before sleeping?”She did and she is embarrassed.“Well, I utterly forgot to do it last night. Perhaps, I got too exhausted.”Cai was taken aback as he noticed that the lady is genuinely tired.‘Maybe I should have cancelled that dinner.’“It is not your fault though, so please don’t blame things on yourself. I needed that dinner too.”Did she just read my mind? He was astounded.“… I would not have known that my mother is hunting for me. Speaking of that, I would like to discuss an important matter with you at four. Would you meet me at the Inntergalactic Inn?”“Certainly. I will be sure to arrive on time.”The man just observed as Cassey starte

Special Chapter 33.2 - Actually, They Have Met Already

The streetlamps lit in golden beam. Several stores and inns have lighted their establishments and buildings too. It was heavily dark tonight – an unfortunate new moon.Among the stores in the certain street, one store is obviously different.Tradiskano’s Stationery Shop.First and foremost, it was founded and owned by the Tradiskano, a monster in business. Second, it is a stationery shop, where customers could buy materials for writing and typing, such as paper, pens and ink. In a period of time where majority of the men in the Febrez household are in marriageable age, the stationery shop is an oasis in a desert. Be it scented paper or a colorful pen or a ribbon to adorn, everything a girl wishes for her confession letter can be bought in Tradiskano’s stationery shop. Third, the quality never disappoints. Despite being known as a noble, the Tradiskano also sell affordable products for the working class. Those affordable products are actually even better than the expensive products fro

XXXIV. The Active Date

Tired from work, Cassey lazily laid herself on the couch.“Cass! I told you it’s not good to lie down after a long walk!”Cassey groaned while rising from the couch.“Who told you that thing?”“My mother. But it’s not something superstitious Cass, it’s really, definitely, certainly unhealthy to immediately lie down after a long walk. Remember during sprint classes, we are not even allowed to sit after a finishing a lap.”“Really?”“What do you mean by that ‘really’? Do you not know?”Actually, Cassey never knows.“I do…”“Then why are you doing it? I am sure you are not the kind who does unhealthy things.”“Honestly, I don’t. During my studies, I have to skip sprint classes. My mother excuses me from the instructor, who happens to be her friend, so that I could focus on the tasks she gives me.”Cai patted her shoulders.“That’s so pitiful. I hope you don’t take those things to heart.”“I am not pitiful in any way. I hated being active since it’s a big waste of time.”Cassey definitely

XXXV. A Bad Day at Work

The days passed so quickly and Cassey’s work from home routine has finally met its end. Thus, Cassey will be reporting to her job at the stationery again.“Good bye and thank you, Miss Cama!”Cassey chuckled at her cute pupils. Her face turned back to the old professionally stern and stiff look when she sensed the sharp gaze from the window of Madame Oprah. Madame Oprah has been keeping strict watch over Cassey, but unbeknownst to her, Cassey is also keenly and quietly spying on her.“Mom, the Madame Oprah is coming.”Navis snitched to her. She came from the kitchen to get Cassey a glass of water, and she happened to see Madame Oprah pretending that she is strolling on the garden.“I will buy you some grilled meat tomorrow. Look forward to it, my children.”Navis and the other pupils beamed and they started to run away as the Madame Oprah is getting closer to where they stand.“Oh, Miss Maharlika!”As soon as the children left, the annoying voice of the witch rang in Cassey’s ears.‘T

XXXVI. Back to Track

As birds chirped, Cassey lifted her head and sighed heavily. Her back hurts from carrying a bundle of woods back and forth. The sun is high up, but she was unable to rest even for a minute.“Cassey Maharlika!”And finally, the call she was waiting for…When she receives the money, she plans on spending half of it for a cup of rice with sauteed vegetables, and half will be allotted for a humble dinner at an inn.“I am here.”“Oh, Cassey Maharlika. The former…?”The madame tilted her head, and Cassey knew what she was going to say next.‘Detainee.’A word that is always linked to her. She feels bad for it, but never complained even once. As long as she could eat three times a day, those things could never hurt her. So, she just accepts it, out of desperation and exhaustion.“Yes, I am.”“Well, you see… That mister over there is looking for you.”Cassey followed the direction the madame was pointing. Then she had a glimpse of a familiar back profile. She just stared at his back, until th

XXXVII. Constant

The sunrise was a pleasing sight to Cai. It reminds him of a new day, and a new day is a new hope. He needs tons of hope and patience for his business.“I really hope the Amadeos will help me this time. It is very difficult doing everything by my own.”He then placed his documents carefully on his bag, and squeezed the knob of the door. When he is finally outside, he noticed that Cassey’s door is locked from the outside.“How strange... Did she go to work so early?”Maybe... That could be possible.So with that thought on his mind, Cai departed.Unbeknownst to him, Cassey never went home last night at all.“The report is impressive and well-written. I am grateful to you for your sincere cooperation, Lady Cassey.”Cassey never replied to the excited claims of her boss, the Tradiskano. She is mentally sleeping with her eyes wide open.“Have you eaten breakfast yet?”She snapped at the word ‘breakfast.’ The Tradiskano chuckled and grabbed the tele communicator.“Wow, what an advanced tec
