Hot Milk
'Miss Golde, please pay attention.'
I snapped out of my daydream as the teacher called me out.
The whole class was staring at me, the girls in the corner snickered.
'Ah, I'm sorry Sir Feverell.' I apologized, gesturing for him to go on.
I was in my last year of highschool, sponsored by Simon Jade.
Though people really did not know that the Simon Jade was the person caring for me.
The guy had promised me thrilling results after I finished highschool.
'Look at that loser, always day-dreaming.' Colette snickered loudly, purposely letting me hear their conversation.
Loser.
Loser.
'Hah! Loser! Dad loves me more than you!'
I slammed my fist at their table, my eyes gesturing for them to back down.
Colette stood up, gesturing for the her other colleagues to follow her lead.
She smirked as she slapped me straight across my face.
I retaliated by grabbing her hair, bringing her face straight to her dirty desk.
'Ugh! Let go of me! Don't you know who my father is!' She screamed, grabbing at my hands, desperate to get free.
'Look here, bitch. I don't give a damn on who your father is.' I told her, not letting go of her hair.
Her friends took both sides of my shoulders, pulling me away from her.
'Get you filthy hands off of me!' I yelled, shrugging them off.
Both fell to the ground, bringing me and Colette with them.
'Ugh! You filthy bitch!' Colette screamed, kicking me away from her.
I grabbed her hair pulling at it, as she slapped at the side of hands.
'Ms. Golde and Ms. Joney, please head to the principal's office.'
...
'I've contacted both of your legal guardians to speak with them about the problem at hand.' The principal announced.
The nurse came in a short while ago to look at the bruises that was left on the both of us.
Silence was upon the room, until Colette decided to open her mouth.
'You'll get what's coming for you, bitch.' She uttered, receiving a pointed look from the principal.
It wasn't long until Mr. Joney came into the room, looking at her daughter's bruises.
He glared fiercely at me as I glared daggers at his daughter.
Colette was smirking as she played the victim in front of her father's eyes.
Mr. Joney demanded the principal to expel me, while the principal told him to calm down and wait for my guardian.
The tense atmosphere broke when I heard the sound of automated wheels coming closer.
The door opened as Simon wheeled in, accompanied by Reikken, his bodyguard.
'Mr. Principal, I don't really appreciate being pulled from my meeting over a petty fight between your students.' He said, maintaining his blank expression.
'And who is this bozo? You're her guardian I presume?' Mr. Joney spat, pointing at me as he glared at Simon.
'Yes I am, and I don't appreciate you pointing at her all while glaring at me.' He muttered, moving his mobile closer to me, looking down at his phone.
'Don't you know who I am, punk? I'm--'
'Mr. George Joney, works under Jade Group, currently working up the ranks.' Simon smirked, looking up from his phone.
'Yes, and I am a respected individual who has connections, I can get you fired from your goddamn job punk.' He threatened, moving closer to him.
Colette smirked at me in victory, as I smiled mischieviously at her.
Confusion filled her eyes as she looked back at her father.
'Yes, and I sure do hope that you watch that tounge of yours before someone cuts it off.'
'Why you--'
'Mr. Jade, we are about to be late for a meeting, if you wouldn't mind.' Reikken interrupted, gesturing for me to stand up.
I stood up and walked to Simon's side, putting a hand on his shoulder.
He nodded in acknowledgement as he looked at the principal and the trembling Mr. Joney.
'S-Sir Jade, I didn't mean anything I said, it's just that i've been stressed lately because of the workload the department gives me an--'
'Consider your workload doubled if you'd still work for us.' He stated, finishing the conversation off.
...
'I'm really sorry for dragging you into that mess, Simon.' I apologized, breaking the unbearable silence between us.
'It's fine, Luka. Honestly, I had wanted to roast that cocky guy for ages now.' He chuckled, bringing out a rare smile.
I smiled back at him as Reikken looked between the interaction we had made.
'Ah, Luka. You'll be staying at the house today, alright? The maids are there if you ever need anything.' He told me as I stepped out of the car.
I nodded at him in thanks as I closed the car door.
The maids stationed at the entrance, nodded in acknowledge as they let me in.
Proceeding inside, I still couldn't get over the fact that I have been living with this stranger for the past six months.
His home was as luxury as it could get, the maids were all kind and accepting when I first came.
The best part was that I had the whole kitchen to myself.
Few knew this, but I had a soft spot for baking, I often baked for the maids of the home.
The maid who served me dinner tonight gave me a small smile as she left the room, leaving me to my workload.
Though I was still a student, Simon insisted that I start early in life as he did.
And by life, he meant giving me workload from internship in his company.
I stared blankly at the paper before me, while mindlessly munching on the salad they gave me.
Though they insisted to give me meat for dinner everynight, I refused and took it upon myself to maintain my figure.
My diet consisted of a full meal on breakfast, a sandwich for lunch, and salad for dinner.
Midnight came faster than expected, and before I knew it, I had already finished my workload and headed downstairs for a glass of hot milk.
I sipped at my drink, unaware of the person who had entered the kitchen at such time.
'What are you doing awake, Luka?' Simon said, breaking the silence.
'That should be my line actually.' I shot back, smirking behind my glass.
His mobile moved him closer to me as I hesitated.
'You should learn to become a bit of a proper lady, Luka.' He whispered as he deemed close to me.
'And what would make you say that?' I muttered, looking down at my empty glass.
'That's because you're not wearing a bra to bed.' He said tossing me the blanket on his lap, smirking as he left.
