"Mr. Lockhart your----"

Ted stops when he see his Boss right hand slightly raise trying to stop him from talking. He then take notice of his boss situation and his eyes narrow.

Mr. Lockhart are leaning comfortably on the wall of his son's study room. His hand are inside of his pants pocket. He's still in his Armani suit which means he doesn't go to his room yet.

He cannot fully see his face but Ted thinks, Mr. Lockhart expression is relax and somehow, he doesn't sure, but there's a small resemblance of smile in his face.

His boss? Smiling? It can't be?!

Ted said to himself feeling surprise. He then heard laugthers coming from the young master study room.

And he finally understand.. Ted finally understand why his boss, the very serious Mr. Lockhart seems to be happy right now.

"Ok time is up. Let's now clean so we can go downstairs ok?"

"Yes, Teacher!"

They both heard the voices inside and Mr. Lockhart starts to walk away. But before he go inside of his room, he stop and looks at Ted.

"Please tell Becca to prepare the dinner early."

"Oh, yes, yes! Mr. Lockhart I will." Ted said starting to walk but he stops when he heard his boss again.

"And Ted, kindly asks Miss Sierrah to join us in dinner."

And the surprise, Ted the butler remains looking in the close door of his boss.

"Mr. Lockhart asks you if you could join them in dinner, Miss Sierrah."

Ted asks me and my eyes went wide. I'm placing all of my things inside my bagpack when Ted walks inside of the study room and asks me.

Join them in dinner? Why? Is there something I do wrong?
That's the first thing that pops in my head.

"Oh, Ted I'm not su---"

"That's very nice Teacher Sierrah! I want you to try my favorite potato dish. Becca said she will make that tonight." Triston walks towards me and looks at me with a shy but bright smile.

Wait? Is my serious genius boy making puppy eye to me? Goodness Gracious! This is priceless!

"Well, I-I am--- I mean how could I say no to that offer." I chuckles.
"Sure. I love to eat free dinner especially if it's your favorite food."

Triston instantly lock his arms in my neck. And I gasp in surprise, then as instant like his hug he quickly withdraw his arms and run away towards the door.

Me and Ted look at each other, both in shock to the sudden gesture of affection from Triston. Ted is the first to make a move by clearing his throat.

"Well, it's very nice to have you Miss Sierrah in the dinner. You're probably the first guest of Mr. Lockhart and young master Triston since they move in here. C'mon let me show you the way my lady."

Ted with a big meaningful smile lead me towards the dining room and I can't help but feel tense and nervous.

Its just a dinner with your boss and the boy, Sierrah. Get a grip! don't act like your having dinner with the royalties. They are not right?
