Couple In Disguise

Chapter 9

"What are you doing inside Charles' room?" Marcus asked.

I just came out of Charles' room when he said that...

"Oh, master Charles is ill so I need to take care of him." I said.

"Hmmmm. There are other maids so why are you the one there?" He asked.

"Oh, I haven't told you before huh? I'm his apprentice/personal assistant/secretary." I said.

"Isn't Jinx the one who has that job?" He asked.

"Oh, Jinx is now the maid master. She guides the maids and butlers." I said.

"Oh." He said. "How is 'master' Charles
Now."

"He's doing fine. He's asleep." I said.

"Oh, good for him." He said.

"Well Marcus, I'll be going now." I said then started to walk..

"Wait." He said. "I wanna tell you something."

I stopped walking and then turn around to listen to what he's gonna say.

"What is it?" I asked.

"Remember Vieve, royalty or not, I choose you." He said then walk away.

He left and I was just standing like a frozen statue that can't talk nor say anything at all...

"Wha-wha- what does that supposed to mean?" I asked.

I saw Jinx passing by then she stopped and looked at me...

"Did someone freeze time or something? What the heck happen to you? She asked while walking around me.

"Oh." I said then awoken myself from being like a statue. "I was just daydreaming haha."

"Day dreaming in the middle of work is not good. Try sleeping okay." She said then walk away.

"I do sleep!" I said.

It was midnight and I am picking clothes for Master Charles to change into..

"Master Charles. Do you need anything else aside from clothes?" I asked. "Are you alright now?"

"I'll pick clothes myself. I'm alright." He said then sat down from the bed..

"Let me see." I said then hold his forehead and hold mine too to see if there is any difference between the two.

"I don't think I'll know by doing that." I said.

It's my first time doing that that's why..

I realized that there is another technique so...

"Let me see again." I said then put my forehead on his.

He seems to be colouring red now.

"That doesn't work either." I said still in his forehead.
