That day...my wish did not come true. My day was different than I was accustomed to. But, I knew exactly what to do.

I went to my master's room and saw him peacefully asleep. But, it was time for him to wake up. I pushed the curtains away from the window. The sun shined on his face, making him shut his eyes tighter.

"It is time to be waken, master." I whispered. His eyes shot open to the sound of my voice. I chuckled. It seems he had forgotten our contract. I bet he thought it was all a dream.

He blinked a few times until his gaze focused on me. Then a small blush crept to his face. I chuckled again. "So...you kind of have to help me with stuff, huh?"

I got down on one knee, my hand on my unbeating heart. "As you servant, I shall do whatever you wish of me."

"Okay then...Well, do you mind if I get dressed?" He asked.

I stood up fully and bowed. "As you wish, master." I left the room and prepared breakfast. I was not sure what he would like so I decided to start with the richest filling breakfast I could muster. I heard his bedroom door open and close. Then, his footfalls down the stairs.

I used my speed to grab his meals, set it down on the table, and pull out his chair for him. He had already entered the room when I used my spped so he stared at me with wide eyes.

"How did you do that?! It's not humanly possible!" He gawked.

I gave him a sly smirk. "That is because I am not human." I let my eyes flash their bright green color.

"R-Right..." He rubbed the back of his head and sat down in the chair. I pushed the chair in slightly.

"I have prepared crepes with strawberries and whipped topping with toast for your breakfast. If you do not wish to eat that, I may prepare something else, if you'd like." I said.

"N-No! This is fine! Thank you." He smiled at me.

I gave him a closed-eye smile in return, my hand over my heart. "Anything for my master." I opened my eyes. He shifted in his seat. Then, he began eating.

When he finished, I took the dishes and washed them as quickly as I could. Then, I was at his side once again. He was in front of a mirror that was in the lounge. I stood behind him and folded up his collar so it covered the mark. I also fixed his tie.

He was wearing a white, button-up shirt with a black button-up vest. He wore a black overcoat and a black tie.

"We have a meeting today with Master Phantomhive to strike a business partnership. He would be a very valuable ally." I said as I finally fixed his tie.

"Oh. Okay. What should I say?" He asked.

"I believe sounding professional would be best. I shall speak for you if you wish." I offered.

My master nervously chuckled. "I think that would be best..."

I nodded. "As you wish, master. They shall be arriving in less than twenty minutes."

"What?! Why didn't you tell me earlier?! This mansion is a mess and I live alone! Well, used to." He rubbed the back of his head. Ah, yes. I forgot to mention that my new home was still a mansion. It was indeed smaller but very elegant looking.

I chuckled. "I shall take care of it, master." I bowed and used my speed to get to the cleaning supplies. I began to clean the entire mansion until it sparkled. I did the garden and the lawn so they looked beautiful. I saw a stray, red rose that was grown farther than the other roses. I walked over to it and plucked it. I cut it down to size so the rest of the rose bush looked perfect.
