Chapter 128 - Chapter 127

((( CLAIRE )))

I knew my family's worried. I didn't come home for two nights already.

"Did you get my order?" I asked nobody specifically and closed my eyes.

"Yes," a maid nodded.

"Really?" I bolted up in excitement.

"Please take it here and I'll start the decoration."

"Are you really sure about it?" Sya asked.

I nodded energetically.

Let's see if Zhio won't kick me out of the house with this!

"Replace the beddings with this. Then change the curtains with this…"

Blah-blah…I felt good as the maids took out the contents of the box.

"Miss Claire, please eat first."

"I'll eat later with you guys," I waved her.

"But headmistress Sya said…"

"Ignore what she said," I hushed her. "let's do the sewing first."

The double doors opened suddenly. It was Sya.

"Dear, Master Zhio wants to talk to you."

I enthusiastically snatched the phone and greeted him.

"Hello."

He must have had sensed that my happiness meant something undesirable. He didn't reply.

"Well I'm busy. Bye," I teasingly smiled and handed the phone back to Sya.

She handed it back to me.

"I said I'm busy," I widened my eyes at him.

"What the hell were you doing?"

"Secret. Don't ask around for spoilers. Come back immediately and see for yourself. I bet you'd be glad."

"Are you sick?" his left brow raised.

"No. Ba-bye!"  

I myself ended the call.

I needed to get this done immediately if he'd be home sooner.

Let the challenge begin…

(ZHIO)

"Aren't you going to rest first?"

Deo asked me question after question when I told him I'd want my flight back home as soon as possible.

"I need to go back. What will I do here?"

"Well, if that's what you wish…"  

Before I knew it, I was aboard the plane back to the country.

Unsurprisingly, Deo greeted my arrival with a ton of paperwork towards his station.  

I kind of pitied every secretary I've had. There were always a lot of workload within their hands. But somehow I'm lucky to have Deo whom I trust with all matters in my affairs.

"Deo," I gave him a sideway smile.

"I think you need to take some vacation leave."  

His face was suddenly worried.

He must've thought I was firing him again.

"And come back afterwards of course," I pointed out.

He smiled.

"I'll think about it," he scratched the top of his forehead.

"I have to finish this shi- sheets."
