Instantly Lady Rui could not help herself from calling for Yohan Strout. She had to know what that man was thinking and how much he knew.
It had only been a day since Yohan Strout had been near her but Rui got a feeling as if she had been figured out by that man already. Fear and anticipation gripped her in equal measures.
'I need to know what Yohan Storut managed to figure out and how he was able to figure out my true intentions. Where did I make a mistake?'
Rui had a burning need to know what she did wrong. If she had managed to slip up, then how many other people knew about the 'real' her? She would need to dispose of them all to ensure her supremacy.
"Madam, are you sure you want to be alone with butler Yohan? I know you like him and he passed the screening test, but I don't feel secure with him. The head butler also thinks of him as suspicious."
The maid Rui had called to serve her the tea and tried to convenience her to not call for Yohan. It was so easy to see that this maid was in the head butler's fraction. And truthfully, this was not the first maid who had tried to convince Rui to let Yohan go.
'Do these people think I don't have a brain and they need to think for me? They are pissing me off so much.'
Had Rui been in her right mind, she would have thought everything over rationally and not made a hasty move. But for some reason, it was really difficult for Rui to behave when it came to Yohan and things related to him.
It was almost as if Rui was unable to control her emotions and ended up showing an annoyed expression.
The maid noticed it and instantly decided to back off. She needed this job and to be in her lady's good grace.
"I know you all are worried about me and my recent decisions, but I am alright. You all should worry about yourself instead of worrying about me, you know. I heard that a new maid selection will take place soon."
The maid who had been serving Rui went pale all of a sudden at the declaration.
A maid selection was a dreaded time for all maids since they could easily be replaced by new and able maids. It was a war for the most part.
"O-Oh, my lady is so nice and virtuous. Surely her decisions can never be wrong? Yohan Strout? Why he's a lovely man and an even better butler."
The maid suddenly started flattering Yohan, realizing that her lady favored him a lot. The maid also rethought her decision to be in the head butler's fraction. It suddenly seemed like a time bomb to her.
Rui felt satisfied all of a sudden to see the maid pacified and she coughed in her hand to hide her smile.
"It is nice to see that you are aware of your flaws. And next time, do not question my choices."
Rui puffed her chest and the door to her room was knocked.
"Lady Rui, I heard that you called for me?"
It was Yohan's voice and it did things to Rui. her insides tingled as soon as it caressed her ears and a blush formed on Rui's face as a result. She was feeling hot all of a sudden.
'Darn it. Is this some kind of curse? It's annoying but pleasant at the same time.'
Rui's agitation and longing swam inside her heart as she tried to get her emotions under control. She signed for the maid to get out and leave her and Yohan alone.
The maid was startled but she hurriedly made her way out as well. She did not want to be responsible for miss Rui's bad mood.
"You can enter now Yohan Strout. And close the door behind yourself."
Rui patted herself when her voice did not break but her insides were a mess. Butterflies crawled inside her stomach as she asked Yohan to come in.
"Come and sit down in front of me. I think we have a lot we need to talk about."
Rui patted the seat at her side, becoming Yohan to come closer and sit at her side. Yohan took the intended invitation and sat down at Rui's side. But maybe a little too close for it to be professional or even friendly.
However, Rui seemed not to mind and her face was flushed with heat as well. She even leaned into Yohan, pressing her body against his more. It caused her modest breasts to pop off a little more and showed her curves.
"Lady Rui, is there a personal reason you have called for me today?"
Of course, Yohan was not about to pass up a free show in front of him. Rui was someone who looked appetizing and he wanted a piece of her.
"Personal reason? Why, do I need a 'personal' reason to call for you, Yohan? As far as I know, you are my *personal* butler. I just want you to take care of my needs."
Rui's words had a lot of weight in the way she spoke. But she did not shy away from touching Yohan's chest in an expecting way. No one could call her 'innocent' or 'pure' here.
'How amusing. Looks like Lady Rui decided to throw away her facade and show me her real color.'
There was no hesitation or shyness in the way Yohan was being touched right now. Lady Rui's hands were experienced as they roamed the expanse of Yohan's chest.
"Did you finally decide to drop your act, Lady Rui? I have to say that I like you much more when you are confident that when you act like a fool."
Yohan spoke these words right against Lady Rui's ears and it caused her to flinch and let out an inaudible moan. She instantly clasped a hand on her mouth, her eyes wide in disbelief.
She could not believe it. Her body had ended up betraying her in the worst way possible and Yohan was also looking at her as if she was his prey.
"Lady Rui, you have been one naughty girl but I managed to figure you out. Now, won't you reward me for doing so?"
Yohan pressed forward, extending his hand toward Lady Rui and now the ball was in her court. She could refuse him and end this game.
Alternatively, Rui could also decide to fire Yohan and foil his plans.
But she was a weak woman who was unaware that she had fallen for Yohan's schemes. She could no longer stay away from Yohan.
"Ahhh, you caught me. So, what kind of reward you are looking for? My money? connections? Or something more?"
Rui questioned, now completely letting her facade fall off. Her voice turned husky and her eyes went half-lid in a seductive pose. Rui even allowed all her body weight to fall on top of Yohan's chest.
"You are the mistress, Lady Rui. I will take what you are willing to give me. However, if you allow me free reign, you might regret doing so."
Rui blinked at Yohan's words before a genuine smile slipped on her face. She was surprised to see that Yohan was giving her a choice. Most people would have jumped up at this opportunity to ask her for a lot more.
'I knew my feelings about Yohan were right. He's a decent guy and I no longer have to deny my feelings for him.'
Rui could no longer deny it. She had fallen for Yohan, maybe from the first time she saw him even. Yohan was everything Rui could have asked for and more.
He was a sweet, decent, considerate, and overall nice guy. The only fault he had was that he was not born a noble. But his powers more than made up for it.
Even his kiss tasted sweet and his lips felt soft against Rui's own. Yohan was forceful when needed to be but gentle at the same time. Rui's heart fluttered every time he came near her.
'Gosh, it's only been two days but I fell hard for him.'
Rui allowed herself to be pushed back on the bed by Yohan. She might be a virgin but she was no blushing maiden. She knew everything one needed to know about intercourse.
"Don't go all the way with me since I need my chastity to get married. Otherwise, you can use me how you want to."
Yohan blinked at her with surprised eyes. Out of everything Lady Rui could have a problem with, he did not think she would find an issue with this.
And truthfully, it was an annoyance but not a deal breaker. Yohan had already achieved his goal halfway.
"Alright, understood. Then, shall we go back to what we were doing, Lady Rui?"
Yohan crashed his lips against Lady Rui's violence. He was not gentle in any way but Lady Rui did not notice due to the sudden slaughter of pleasure she felt.
Yohan was making her forget everything she knew and dragging her down into the new depths she had never known.
'Gosh, I feel hard. I don't want to let Yohan go now.'
