19 : Living Together (He Doesn't Want To See Me)

[ NISHIMURA MIU ]

It has been almost a month since Jay and I talked. I can't say that we have been fixing things clearly. Although we both agreed to live together as per our parents' instruction, it doesn't change the fact that we are against it.

I am currently watching the maids who are busy packing up my things, "How about your bath essentials, Young Lady?"

"Pack everything up. Don't leave a single thing." I sternly replied.

"You're talking as if you don't have a plan on going back here." Riki went inside the room. His eyes darted on the maids before glancing at me again.

I mentally rolled my eyes, "I won't. Grandfather completed kicked me out."

He laughed as he comfortably sat on the couch. Mischief was all over his face. I scoffed, "Are you happy that I am finally going to leave?"

The right corner of his lips rose before shaking his head, "Nah. I am going to miss you." He said before laughing. I don't know if he's serious or what.

I just sneered at his response. The door of my room opened again, revealing Kang Yena with a box on her hands. She walked towards me and handed me the box, "Young Lady. I baked these cookies for you. Consider this as my farewell gift." She flashed a genuine smile.

I pursed my lips and received the box, "You don't have to do that. But thank you, Yena. I'll eat this well."

"Tss. Did you put poison in it?" Riki's tone changed. Yena gasped and immediately shook her head.

"I would never do such thing, Young Master!"

"Are you sure?" Riki looked at me, "Miu. Open it. I'll taste it first."

I frowned, "You're too much."

"I am just concerned." He stood up and snatched the box from me. He untied the ribbon himself and took a piece of cookie.

He slowly munched it, as if he's studying its flavor. His brows then shot up and eyed Yena, who's fidgeting with her fingers. He tilted his head, confusion was all over his face.

Riki suddenly held his neck. He tapped his chest and coughed continuously. The cookie fell from his hand to the floor. My eyes widened and immediately attend to him. He seems unable to breath.

I gritted my teeth, "Yena! What is this?!" I said without looking at her. I held Riki's shoulder and scanned his face.

The other maids who were supposedly busy arranging my things gathered on our side, while the others immediately went outside to ask for help.

"I... I h-haven't done anything, Young Lady..." she almost whispered. Yena walked towards us and crouched to examine my brother.

I glared at her, "You are going to get fired if anything happens to him!"

I looked at Riki again. My eyes widened when he slowly calmed down. He cleared his throat and looked at Yena, who seems to cry anytime soon. The corner of Riki's lips slowly rose. He snorted as continuous laugh escaped his lips.

My forehead creased, "Riki!"

He held his tummy and laughed hard. He pointed Yena with his index finger, "Your face! Are you going to cry?"

"Damn... you're cute." He laughed again. Yena's mouth widened and looked at him unbelievably.

I rolled my eyes and heaved a sigh.

"I was just joking. It doesn't have any poison so it's safe to eat, Miu." He used his tongue to touch the inside of his cheek and properly stood up. He glanced at Yena again, "As for you, come with me." He dragged the poor girl out of the room, she can't seem to recover from the situation yet.

I clicked my tongue and eyed the other maids, "Continue arranging my things."

I stared at the house without showing any emotion. I am still inside the car. This is where I am going to live along with my fiance. I heavily exhaled before glancing at the chauffeur and signaled him to open the car's door.

I fixed my clothes before entering the house, "This is big." I muttered to myself while examining its interiors.

This house will surely be lonely. I mean, Jay and I are not close enough to make it bright and lively. Well, it's not that I am used to a happy household so this is going to be fine... I guess.

Two housemaids bowed in front of me, "Good afternoon, Young Lady! My name is Hari and this is Yeona. We will try our best to happily serve you and Young Master Jay!"

I gave them a small smile, "Where is he?"

They both looked at each other with hesitation, "Uh... he arrived earlier than you but he left right after arranging his things. He didn't say anything." Yeona answered before pursing her lips.

I gulped and looked away. I guess he doesn't want to see me.
