Butler ; JJK

제3회

"Young miss, your Dad has arrived."

"Okay, thanks." I answered casually as my maid left my room.

Closing my laptop, I hopped off of my bed and wore my baby blue soft cotton slippers. I walked along the hallway and passed by the master's bedroom. I'm sure Dad won't be there since he still works even if he's at home, same as Mom's which I completely understand.

Anyways, it's 6 in the evening and a half of an hour has just passed since I got home from school.

I stopped in front of the large double door and knocked twice.

"Come in." I can hear the tiredness upon hearing Dad's voice.

I peeked in first before I went in and closed the door behind me.

"Oh, Princess. What brought you here?" He asked as he stretched his arms wide to welcome me a hug but I just gave him soft kiss in the cheek. He pouted which I found cute so I giggled. "No hug?" He sulked so I hugged him tightly.

"You look so tired, Dad. It isn't bad to take some rest, you know?" I pouted as I stood in front of him while he was resting his tired body against his swivel chair.

He chuckled. "You're unusual today. Do you need an extra allowance?"

I pouted even more. "Can't I get worried for my hardworking Dad?"

He smiled. "Oh~ Thank you, my Princess. But you know I'm still your Dad and I know you more than Mom knows you."

I chuckled at him. "Indeed, Dad. Well.... It's about my new butler." I started. I admit that I am a spoiled brat and Dad obeys every request of mine. Since I was born, he can't say no to my requests and always gives me my wishes.

"So what about your new butler?" He asked. His tired expression isn't changing.

"I don't like him. He's rude and he doesn't give me respect like the other maids and butlers do. He acts as if he's my boss and orders me around." I breathed and Dad just kept on listening to my words so I didn't hesitate and continued, "I want you to fire him."

I saw him heaved a sigh and looked away from me, focusing on the documents above his table.

"No." He answered flat making my eyes widen.

Did he just say no to me for the first time?

"W-What?" I stuttered staring at my Dad but he just rolled his eyes to me.

"I won't fire him and that's final, my Princess." He gave me a sly smile which I returned with a confused expression.

"B--"

"No buts." He quickly interrupted. "Dad has so many things to do right now, Princess. Let's just talk the other time." He said and I marched away. This isn't the right time to argue with Dad since I know he's tired and he could turn into a monster anytime.

But it's the first time he refused to my wish. Why wouldn't he fire that rude butler?

After a seemed like forever walk, I finally reached my room and locked myself inside.

I dropped my body on the bed and groaned against the pillow. Maybe Dad is just tired. I'm gonna ask him again the next time.

With my hair messed up, I sat as I flinched when I saw my rude butler standing by my closed door.

"H-How did you get in?" I questioned him with my widened eyes. I'm sure I locked the door and my Mom and Dad are the only one who have spare keys on my room.

He didn't answer and just wore his blank face.

"Someone's waiting for you downstairs." He said flat and left.
