Chapter 199 - Revenge 199: Fulfill Her Duties

"How you found where Arion is hiding?" Johan asked.

"I apologize, Master. We have not found him yet. Every time he exposes his location to us and goes to that exact location, he's already gone and traces of him is gone too." The subordinate felt shame that he could not even present a single man kneeling in its knees to his master.

"Do not apologize. Arion is a hard man to catch. That is to be expected."  Johan swirls the glass in his hands, "Besides, once we got that man in our hands, Arion will surely show himself to us. After all, Arion would do anything for his wife." Johan smiles in satisfaction; he knows that his plan will work, and the victor of this game of his, is him. There is no doubt about that.

"I'm going to remind you again, Lucia..." Aaron stated, looking straight into Lucia's clear eyes. "Call me Master, and not by my name."

Lucia smiled, but there was a hint of annoyance in her eyes. She can't believe that on her first day serving Aaron as his "slave", Aaron is already giving her a hard time. 'You're getting on my nerves, Aaron. Just you wait; when this is all over, I'm gonna make you pay.' Lucia inwardly made a promise to herself.

Gritting her teeth, Lucia said, "Master, is there anything else you want me to do?"

Early in the morning, Aaron already pestered her; telling her to come to the Coleman mansion to fulfill her duty as his slave for one whole week.

When she arrived earlier, the guard at the front gate was in shock, even the maid who wakes up early is also shock from her sudden appearance early in the morning.

Coincidentally, when she entered the living room, there was Marcus Coleman sitting in his favorite chair, reading a newspaper. Marcus even asked her, 'What are you doing here, Lucia?' At that time, Lucia did not reply to Marcus' question and only awkwardly smile at him.

Lucia knows that this is something she is not supposed to be embarrassed about, but she can't help it; she is deeply embarrassed with the people asking her what she's doing in the Coleman mansion early in the morning. 'Who visits someone's house early in the morning?' Lucia growled inwardly.

When Aaron heard her calling him master, he was satisfied, so he decided to let Lucia take a rest. He has been ordering her around ever since the moment he saw her sitting in the living room, and he knows that Lucia is probably killing him in her mind. 'Hah. This is fun.' He inwardly chucked.

"Hmmm... let see..." Aaron was in deep thoughts on what should he tell Lucia. He looks at his sister who is currently eating her breakfast, then an idea came into his mind. "When school is over, I want you to pick my sister and me up. We are going somewhere fun." Just imagining the fun his sister, him, and of course, Lucia is going to have when they arrived at that place; Aaron, smiled in excitement.

"You seemed to be in a better mood." Nathalia stated as she stared at Anna"

"Hmm... Nathalia's right. You do look brighter than before." Zen commented, support Nathalia's claim.

Both Nathalia and Zen stared at her as if they are trying to figure out what made Anna be in a better mood.

Anna felt uncomfortable with their stare, she looks at the person next to her, Josh. She looks at him with pleading eyes, telling him that she wants Josh to stop his childhood friends from staring at her like that.

Josh got the message, then sighed. "You two, stop it. You're making Anna feel uncomfortable." Out of all of Anna's friends, Josh is only Anna can talk without getting sidetrack from the original topic. Josh always stays on task unlike the other four that are around Anna.

"Aren't you a bit curious why she's like that?" Nathalia asked. As usual, Josh is the only person in the group who does not have any interest in everything. 'If you keep this up, you will never get a girl interested in you. You're so boring.' Nathalia wanted to say that, but she decided not to say that to him because she knows how temperamental Josh.

"I already know why she is like that. There is no need for me to ask that silly question that you two have." After saying that Josh put his full attention on his phone.

Zen and Nathalia were slightly pissed when they heard that from Josh. He may not be entirely like his father, but there are also times that he acts like his father especially to the way he talks to people. 'So annoying.' Zen inwardly complained.

"You knew? How?" Anna asked curiously. She did not have the chance yet to tell anyone about the good news of Juan getting kicked out of the Coleman mansion. She is somehow feeling a little bit upset that someone leaked out that information without her knowledge.

"I saw that pest entering a hotel last night with a language by his side. Heh. If you had just seen the face he made that night, you would laugh." That night, his mother decided to eat in his favorite restaurant to celebrate Crystal High's win against Tiger High; as they are going to his favorite restaurant, he accidentally saw Juan with an angry expression and it was funny to look at.

Josh was curious why was Juan making that face, but after seeing the large luggage beside Juan, Josh can already figure out what had happened to him. At that time, Josh can only ridicule Juan for being pathetic and stupid.

"You should have taken a picture of it!" Anna felt that it is such a shame that she did not saw a glimpse of Juan's pathetic face. 

"My bad," Josh said with a smirk. "Next time when I see it, I'll gladly send you a picture of it."
