When Will You See Me?

Chapter 6 Patience is a Virtue

Disclaimer: Gosh! My muse was really stretched just to post this update. Sorry for the late update, I'm just so busy with my summer job. I didn't expect for this job to eat all my hours. It definitely zapped my energy everyday but don't worry though this will never be abandoned. The updates might not be that frequent as before but there will be an update. I'm changing my scheduled updates from every Saturday into twice or once a month update since I'm doing both working and going to school now. So just stay tune for updates.

- Start of the Chapter -

"I'm staying here with him?" My brain seems to overload that is why the processing of the information seems to take much longer.

"Well technically your room is right there. It's a small room that is connected here; it has its own amenities and such but since this is the only entrance of that room so you can say yes. You're staying with Master Qing in one room. Would that be a problem?" Mr. Quan pointed to a door that would probably leads to a connected quarter.

"No, it's okay for me. It's just that this set-up is surprising." It took some time for me to answer.

"Yes after Master Qing came back from the hospital there was an accident that happened here and the masters were advised by the doctors that Master Qing should be monitored and cared for 24/7. This room was built for that purpose alone. You're primary job is to be always be by his side no matter what. I'll leave you now so you can rest. First day with Master Qing is always the strenuous so I hope you will save your energy and make yourself ready for whatever comes your way." After saying all of that he bowed his respect and made his way out of the room.

Surveying the room, I can tell this was not Qing's original room. If a person can ignore the mess loitering in the room it can actually be compared to a hotel. The bed was king sized, the blue sheets used looked so soft and expensive even the pillows look so fluffy and the furniture is top of the line. But it is devoid of any personal touch that could be found on once room like pictures, trophy, posters and collections. This room can actually pass as a guest room. Knowing this only added to my sorrow.

Slowly trotting to my quarter and opening it, I was surprised with what I saw. Knowing that it was just a connected room I was expecting a small room with just a single sized bed which is typical in servants' quarter but what I found in the room looked like it was a duplicate of Qing's room. Guess they dangled bait that is hard to refuse. Appreciating the elegance I started arranging my things then a few minutes later I heard movements from the other side of the room. I tapped the door and called out for Qing.

"Master Qing, Do you need help?" getting ready to assist my patient.

"No." was his abrupt reply.

"I can help Master Qing for now Dayu. You can just rest now." Mr. Quan immediately pacified me.

Hearing soft rustle I assumed that he was getting ready to sleep. Sighing I started to prepare to also go to bed and get myself ready for my first day of work.

FEW DAYS LATER....

"Quitting yet?" Qing's voice is full of mockery while I was totally covered with savoury soup from the top of my head to the bottom of my shoes. We are currently in the dining table with Qing eating his dinner and me "trying" to assist him. I have been his caregiver for five days now and is still trying to be his caregiver since he seems making it his current goal to make my stay here miserable as it can be.

"Still not talking? Well, let us see how long you will last." was his parting words while calling for Mr. Quan for assistance to depart. Seeing my predicament Mr. Quan gave me a pitying look and a pat on the back before guiding Qing out of the room.
