My Possessive Butler | Taoris

The Introduction

Tao's POV

I walked silently in the long hallway finally standing infront of huge double doors with servants near it.

The servants bowed and one of them opened the door for me. I sighed before going inside seeing my father with a tall man beside him. The man was dressed in a butler's uniform. He has a bitch face that somehow reminds me of a dragon.

A made my way infront of them and my father grinned widely. Creepy. "Taozi, this is your new butler. He's name is Kris and he is older than you"

I frowned. "Dad. First of all, dont call me that. Second, aren't you tired in hiring some butlers and besides, I'm a grown up man, i can handle my self just fine"

My dad let out a low chuckle which cause me to roll my eyes. "Don't be silly, Taozi. You can handle yourself just fine? Nonsense, you even made the other butlers to stay outside your bathroom just because you said there was a ghost--" then my dad burst out laughing "--And remember the time when you hid under your bed because you were scared of thunders" i pouted then crossed my arms. "Dad, if you don't stop laughing, i will wushu you!" I smirked when my dad stopped laughing and turned serious.

"But seriously, Tao. You need a butler, not only to serve but also to protect you. You know that our company has been very successful these past few months that cause our rival companies to be angry and they might do....something ....like what happened to your mother"

Memories suddenly flash back. Memories of my mom... Her beautiful face, her laugh, her smile, her voice, everything about her... The way she cuddled me when I'm scared, the way she kissed my forehead and told me reassuring words. I shook off the thoughts and stood firmly. "But dad, i learned wushu just for this, i learned wushu so that i can protect myself"

My dad shook his head, disapproving in what i had said. "Tao, do you think you can protect yourself by using your skill in wushu? Do you think your skills in wushu can stop a gun?" I frowned at his statement. "Are you doubting my skills?" My dad cringe and pinched the bridge of his nose. "It's not like that, what i'm trying to say is a gun is for long range. What if your opponent is far away from you? Would you be able to fly your way to your opponent and kick his ass?" Damn. I looked away from my dad's gaze. Now i really feel weak. I didn't want a butler because i wanted to prove that I'm strong, strong enough to protect my love ones. I want to prove that i can do better even though i'm all alone. "Please Tao, it's for your own safety. I just didn't want to ....lose you too" My dad said desperately, his voice cracked  in the end and a glint of sadness can be heard. I looked at him and tears started to form in his eyes.

I sighed. "Fine, whatever" i quickly walked out. I haven't seen dad teared up like that again. The last time was when he found out about what happened to mom. My thoughts were interrupted by a maid greeting me and bowing respectfully in front of me. I just ignored her and went to the garden. Mom's favorite place. I'm the one who took care of mom's plants ever since she died. I even bought a book about plants and gardening just to know how to take care of it.

I missed my mom. A lot. I close my eyes and took a deep breath, feeling the cool breeze that gently hits my face. I still remember the time when my mom and i used to play here. I would always take out my toys and play with her. We took pictures, play in the rain and even had a picnic. This place is important to me not just because it's mom's favorite place, but also because this place holds lots of memories of me with my mom.

"Young Master" i screamed (unfortunately in a not manly way) and jumped a little when  i heard a voice behind me. I looked at the tall man with wide eyes that soon truned into a glare. "What is it?" I asked while trying to calm my breathing, still galring at him.

"Your father said that it would be better if we got to know each other so you'll be comfortable when i'm with you"

I groaned and signaled him to follow me to my room. When we got there, i closed the door and arranged some of my things  to look neat. I sat on my bed and looked at him blankly.

"What do you want to know?" I said bluntly, keeping my eyes on him.

"Your favorites, it would be better if we get along in a short time. Your father said that i am the last butler that is hired to serve and protect you" i nodded and cleared my throat.

"Well.. I love gucci and panda, i like fashionable clothes but mostly their colors are black and i also like the scent of peach" Kris stared at me that made me uncomfortable.

"How about hobbies?" He spoke with low voice, wearing a poker face.

"Uhh... I know Wushu since i was six, I've been enhancing till now" There was a long awkward silence and my new butler is just staring at me the whole time. What the heck? Is there something in my face?

"Is there something on--" i was cut off when he moved and sat beside me. I looked at him with wide eyes which he did not see cause he's facing the front. I was really surprised when he sat beside me, not that i'm overreacting, it's just that none of my old butlers went this near to me. I guess he's different from the others.

"Why do you like panda? It is such an adorable thing for a fierce looking man like you. Not so manly at all" what the heck?

"I'm not asking for your opinion and that's not the way of talking to your master" i hissed at him. Tch. Such an arrogant man. I do not like panda, i love them. They are the most wonderful and adorable creatures in the whole world.

I stood up and grabbed my pajamas then went straight to the bathroom to change. I quickly slipped out my uncomfortable suit and wore my pajamas then went out seeing that my 'new' butler already left. Good.
