Chapter 109 - Spring Blooms

Startled at her sudden response, Czar momentarily swirled his pupils wider gazing at Clara in awe. Those words he was struggling too hard to commence out of his mouth, she expressed it so casually, glancing at his deep brown eyes.

"Judging from your expression, I guess I am right, Master." 

Taking a deep gasp out, he softly nodded his head lowering his glance down at the table. "Yes. I do not want her to die...And it's kinda pissing me off!"

"Is that person closer enough to you?" Resting her jowl on her slender soft palm, she further articulated her queries.

"No," a tinge of melancholy glistened in his eyes as his expression grew further dark. "But she is not a stranger to me... I don't know why, but...her every act reminds me of someone I have treasured in my heart." 

"Hmmm...then, Master, are you in love with that person?"

"What? What an absurd question!" Sounding much vexed, he irked out his objection averting her gaze away from her. But somehow, her blunt question made his heart pound like crazy, battling unusual anxiety.

"Pardon me...but as far I have seen in movies... the person who reminds us of a closer one, usually conquers a safe place in our heart." Taking a small sip of water from the glass she was holding on, she picked up the tissue to wipe her mouth.

"What she is talking about? If it really ever happens to me then...I guess...I will be fucked up." Anxiously gulping down some water, he directed his gaze back to her tossing a blunt query, "have you ever fallen in love with someone?"

"No. I have only seen those cheesy kinds of stuff in movies and documentaries." Promptly she responded with a sullen look in her eyes, with her slender rosy lips quivering a little. " Abandoned beings like me, don't need love to break my heart any further. I am already broken from inside." Her voice crooked a bit.

"Were you...abandoned?"

"Ahh, that's a quite melodramatic story, Master. Let's talk about it someday else...when we have ample time to spend." Desperately trying hard to conceal her despaired heart from him, she took a small peek at her wristwatch, sharply raising her eyebrows. "Darn it, I really gotta go now or I will be really really late, and probably, my supervisor will bite my head off!"

Hearing her panic-stricken voice, unknowingly Czar smiled with a glum gaze towards her. Clearing his throat, he took out his credit card from the wallet while mumbling softly, "then...I guess we both are very sad people from inside, trying to seek solace in this merciless world." 

"Hmm, maybe..." Holding a small sad smile putting bright dimples on her cheeks, she stared into his eyes for a while. "But master, I just want to tell you that...you should do whatever your heart follows. Even if the consequences go otherwise, but you won't feel regret if you obey your heart. As your slave, I can suggest you at least this much since you shared a few of your worriments with me." Her voice sounded soothing and warm for him while he was gawking intensely at her, for the time being. 

....

Both of them came walking out of the restaurant, strolling next to each other in gentle footsteps. Putting both of his arms inside his suit pocket, Czar had a pleasant expression on his face, with his blank gaze staring at the tall, beautiful wild olive tree bloomed with thousands of white flowers, right in front of the restaurant. 

"Master, umm, can I use your car to head to my workplace first? I don't have much time to walk up to the subway station...Besides, you can take the car away after I reach my destination--"

"No need." A quirky response evoked back from him before she could wrap up her sentence.

"Pardon?"

All of a sudden he swung the car keys back to her taking out of his pocket in the air, which she grasped almost immediately holding a baffled expression on her face. "Take the car with you. No need to give it back."

"Wh-What?"

"You already heard me. I don't like to repeat things." Smirking with a warm grimace, he reciprocated to her quickly in a gentle voice.

"Bu-But," gulping her saliva anxiously she took a small nervous peek at the sumptuous glorified red Porche parked near them which was inviting the attention of almost every person present right there. "It's a million-dollar worthy car, master! I...I can't even dream of having that car in this lifetime with such a low working my butt off salary! And...you are giving it to me for free?"

"I am not giving it for free." He cleared his throat a bit and caressed his hair bangs from the top of his forehead before answering her. "Well, think of it as a thanksgiving gift from your master for hearing my worriments and obeying my orders, today. Nothing else."

"But...how can I take such an expensive gift from you? And...what about you? How are you going to head back?"

"Ahh, c'mon, stop bothering me with so many queries!" He sounded a little irked, twitching his eyebrow ridge while glaring at her. "Quit fidgeting so much. All those women I dealt with earlier used to drool over me whenever I rewarded them any presents...And yet you, who look too perplexed right now!"

"But--"

"Don't worry about me, I am the mighty Czar Romano, the second prince of Romano group! I have my separate deluxe collection of such sports cars and I just don't bother about them anymore. Just take it, before I change my mind. Also, you gotta pick me up from now on whenever I will summon you! Got it? Or you are still hesitant?"

Hearing his bold assurance, a widespread grin appeared on her porcelain white beautiful face as her deep brown eyes sparkled in joy. "Th-Thank you so much... I...I will take good care of your reward." Bowing her head in order to express her gratitude, she chuckled heartily, radiating in gleam.

"Why does she look so happy with such a mere gift?" Wondering inside his mind, he shrugged his shoulders before turning back away from her to head in the opposite direction from her. She was watching him leaving while holding a gratifying smile on her face.

Walking a few steps ahead, his footsteps paused for a moment as he turned back to take a small peek at her. She was already looking at him from behind all smiling. Blissful white olive flower petals were floating with the spring breeze in the entire surrounding, as both of them stood still watching each other silently amidst the dancing small white petals and the sunny radiance.

"Just...don't ever catch feelings for me! Or...I might snatch my car back from you!" Smirking with a witty eloquence, he responded in a loud voice breaking the silence between them, waving his hand at her.

"Pfft! What a weirdo!" Unknowingly she chuckled in bliss, murmuring under soft breath and waving her hand back.
