Flutterings, pains, worries, everything burst away as if an explosion occurred inside your fragile heart. The sudden while when both of your eyes met, it was full of surprises, romance, and even guilt.

You saw him die in front of you. You saw him disappear with a body full of blood. You cried yourself because of how much you were pained from your loss. His loss of body and soul. Yet he by now he's far from you yet it felt close. Sharing stares and uneasiness was difficult for you. You do not know how to feel. Should you be worried? Angry? Happy?

Without further more thinkings, you ran your way fastly. You heard Verr Goldet call you out from behind but you paid no mind. You focused on one person. Maybe perhaps one soul.

"Xiao!" You called as the man did not react nor do anything. You jumped up the stairs with open arms even if you knew you'll trip. Yet you paid no care, all that matters is you can bring Xiao into your arms.

Instead of face-planting through the floor, Xiao caught you making you give him an embrace that you've wanted to give him. It felt magical and happy for you. Albeit those, you still felt worried and anger, therefore, you cried on his shoulders.

Xiao felt those tears and there he knew there's one thing that will comfort you. He encircled his muscles arms to your body and put his head on the gap of your head and shoulder. From there, he whispered, "It's okay. It's okay. I'm here."

His actions made you cry more and more. It was already enough for you to feel good. You knew he's safe. He survived. He's alright. As long as he still exists you're willing to be there for him.

The people around the both of you were whispering and mutterings in surprise. They've never seen the small man comfort somebody like how he did to you. None of them even saw somebody come that near to the Yaksha. All they assume of the both of you is that the Yaksha sees you as someone special to him. Or is it really that?

Time flies of course so does the warmth you both share. You both let go of each other and stared for a while before Xiao turns back. "Come to my office."

Without complaints, you followed the man to his office. The walk was very silent but it was comforting. None was awkward, well for you. It was a bit awkward for Xiao since he missed your starings at him. Nonetheless, it was still comfortable for both.

Xiao sat down on his luxurious chair while you stood in front of his table. Xiao leaned back looked up at you with those intimidating eyes of his. "You'll start working tomorrow night."

You nodded, but suddenly you realized what he said. "Tomorrow night?!? I did not even agree to work for you yet!"

"Oh, really I just remembered you did one night."

You wondered in confusion. You tried to bring your head back but you don't remember anything. 'Did I really agree with his application?'.

Suddenly the flashback of what happened that night came unto you. Then the realisation made you shake your head while finding an excuse to Xiao. You fake coughed and faced Xiao.

"For a point, I've said that when you were merely 'dying' in front of me." You confidently said.

Xiao neared his face into yours. You could highly feel his hot breathing near your face as you tried glaring bravely at the ghost before you. The glaring session continued for a few seconds before the man smirked.

"Very well then, I rose up from death. The words you said has bound you to work here."

His hoarse voice almost made you drool because of the sexiness but you tried hiding it. You huffed and crossed your arms. "Fine. Give me the contract, and I sign it."
