Ostensibly, I'm the traid boss's sassy wife.

~Aris Armani~

"So this.. is your suite ma'am"

The lady who I figured out was the housekeeper opened the door to room, stepping aside for me to enter. I almost let out a gasp. It was breathtakingly beautiful, not the most expensive I had seen but it was breathtaking still  and ituited me just fine.

The lady on seeing my satisfied face said "It was arranged by master himself but-"

Ermis picked it‽ I had expected him to leave that to his helps or something. The thought of a cold faced Ermis preparing a room made me chuckle. Somehow that deed warmed my heart. It seemed there was more to this Ermis of a guy than he let on.

"Your name is?"

" Lydia.. Ma'am"

" Call me Acai and... I'm not a lady"

Lydia eyes flew open in surprise. She was a he? He was too gorgeous for a man. He could beat a woman at her game.

Yeah I know I'm breathtaking.

"Ma- Mister Acai"

" Where's Ermis's room?" I kept my lucky charm smile on my face, locking gazes with Lydia's. I knew what I was doing and it never failed me.

"E- Ermis? T-the boss? A-adjacent yours" The once confident woman had being reduced to a stuttering mess.

"Good"

It was tiring as usual, but I loved it. I mumbled to the greeting of a maid. I was too tired to talk. - and hey I know that look. Being a boss doesn't mean I sit all day doing nothing, vacations, ladies, parties, and drugs shit. Sorry I'm not sorry, this one's different. You hate it, hang yourself, earth needs space anyways.

"Master"

I hummed in reply, my eyes closed. I didn't need to turn to know who it was. She was the only one who insisted on calling me master.

"Lydia, is he settled?"

"Y-yes"

A frown worked its way up my face. Lydia almost never stuttered and when she did- " I'll take your jacket"

"Is there a problem?"

"N- none that I know of"

She kept avoiding my eye that was suspicion-worthy.

"You may leave"

I walked more of dragged myself in, letting the bag fall to the floor. Vanilla. Lydia changed the freshener‽ I paused, shocked, as my eyes caught something rather someone. How did he get in? He was there, sprawled on my bed, fast asleep, he looked more ethereal in the moonlight. He was mesmerising, Snow White paled in contrast. I took off my shoes, my feet gliding smoothly on the cool floors.

"Axiaga pitos " I murmured, my finger caressing his smooth soft skin. He reminded me so much of him. Perhaps yêyê was right... He- Nah there's no way in hell I'm gonna be saying that. Deciding I had enough I headed to the bathroom.
