When both of them arrived at Emma's place, he just watched her packed her things, lend help if necessary, and help her carry some of her bags because he insisted.

"Oh yeah, how about your dad Norman? or Mom? You better introduce me riiight. I don't want them getting the wrong idea." She laughed, and he chuckled in return, covering up what he really felt when she said that.

"I am not really sure, but I think dad won't be there. He's always on a business trip, that's why." He explained.

"Oh okay, and your mom?"

Upon hearing that, he just smiled and remained silent. Emma panicked at his reaction, completely getting his point and instantly regretting that she even asked.

"Hala omg I'm sorry! I didn't mean to be so nosy Normaaan."

He just laughed.

'So cute.' He thought.

Now, they finally arrived in front of a huge modern-styled mansion. Emma's green orbs widened, not expecting his house to be this big.

'I know that Norman's very rich, it was so obvious specially when I saw him with his BMW car, but this is just.. something else.'

She thought, not being able to move her gaze off of the house and keep on observing.

"E-err. Let's go inside Emma."

"Ah, hai haiii!"

Maids immediately bowed their heads upon seeing Norman and Emma trailing behind him.

'Gosh they are so formal.'

She thought, giving them a warm smile and greeted them with enthusiasm.

"Hello!"

They awkwardly smiled back, looking at Norman's reaction.

Nothing.

"Let's go Emma."

And with that, they went upstairs. She saw the second floor's structure. Norman told her that their rooms are just facing one another, and if she proceed further, she can open the door of his balcony while she can relax there.

Norman's POV

I honestly have no idea how to react. My personality at school, specially with my friends is way different on how I acted when I am home. She glanced at me, and surprisingly tugged on my sleeves.

"E-eh, are we okay? You're so silent."

She asked, her voice full of worry.
I internally facepalmed. Now what have I doneee. She got the wrong idea and thought I'm mad or something for being such a jerk in front of the maods.

"Ah, nope. I-it's just that, I act way different when I am at school and home."

I hope she get the message behind that. When she smiled, I sighed in relief.

Thank goodness.

It was so much like him. Walls are painted in pastel blue colors, a medium sized bed at the center and white side table on each side . His room consists of study desk and a walk in closet as well. Very manly and neat looking.

Norman and Emma ate dinner first before doing the given task. They decided to do chunking, a method where in you have to divide the bigger task into smaller ones so it will look easier to do.
When the clock hits 8:30 PM, Emma yawned unintentionally.

"Heh. You're sleepy?"  The blue eyed guy smile at the pouting girl, nonetheless, she nodded,a bit shy.

"Alright alright. Let's just continue this tomorrow then. We finished 1/4 of it already anyway."

He stood up from his seat, and lead the sleepy gingerhaired towards the guest's room, the one in front of his door. Its walls are painted White, a medium sized bed that looks comfortable to sleep at was placed at the center, and a tall lampshade at the right side of the bed. On the left one, a night stand table was placed.

"So.. Goodnight Emma."

Giving her a warm smile, he closed the door.

'She's not really talkative today. Probably because she seems so tired.'

He thought.

'Alright. I'll finish my paperworks.'

Emma fluttered her eyes opened and checked the time.

2:10 AM

She put herself back to sleep but failed to do so. Therefore, she stood up, went the small door inside her room and brushed her teeth.

'I guess Norman's sleeping by now. I'll go to the balcony for a bit.'

Emma pulled her door open, and saw light slipping through Norman's room from the inside which means that he's awake, or he just probably left the light on his room open and went to sleep.

The creak in the front of his door made Emma jumped a bit. It opened, and revealed Norman with his messy hair.

'Why does he look hot in thaaaat'

(/ω\)

He was surprised as well when he saw her, still awake.

"Oh Emma. Why are you still up?"

He asked, closing the door behind him and walking towards her, filling the small gap.

"Uhm, I just woke up and couldn't find sleep. So I thought maybe going to the balcony will help. How about you?"

"Ah, I just wanted to be breathe in some air. Let's go?"

"Okiiie~"
