A Marriage of Convenience (SaTzu)

Chapter 21

Sana's POV

"Home sweet home." I muttered as I stared at the familiar  manor in front of me. It felt like I've been away longer than a week of staying in Taiwan, hard to be believed that I was already backed in Seoul.

"What's with the not so cheerful tone Sana?"

I turned around to see Tzuyu, picking up our luggage in the trunk of the car smiling ironically in my direction. "I just found out that I didn't miss this place in my week of absences even one bit. What I don't understand is why do I have to live in the same roof with my spiteful relatives? I have a nice flat back in the city."

"Your grandfather's request according his last will." She stated simply, she walked were I was standing in the foyer of the Minatozaki manor. "You don't need to pout at the thought of you living here. You will have wrinkles in your face at the early age. It's not forever, you know, only a whole year and after that you are free to live wherever you want."

"Still," I informed her dryly, while started taking the marble steps slowly. "A whole year living with them feels like decades to me."

Tzuyu smiled at me thoughtfully. "Your grandfather's last will didn't state that you have to spend your day inside the manor. You roam the city the whole day if you want to avoid their company."

"That's a nice thought honey." I looked gratefully at her. Before we could even ring the door bell a uniformed maid opened the door for us. "See? Every wall of this place has eyes. I bet that my good-for-nothing relatives already knew that we arrived from our trip."

"Shall we greet them?" Tzuyu asked, as we walked to the grand staircase.

I threw a glare in her direction. "Like I will do such thing? That's the last thing I want to do after our vacation overseas."

Tzu gave me a throaty laugh but didn't answer. We walked to the silent corridor of the east wing of the manor where our bedroom located. Once we were on the bedroom she carefully placed our luggage at the side of the bed.

"Are you going to the office now?" I asked her, removing my jacket while sitting on the bed to face her.

"Yes," she replied, doing the same thing with her jacket. "But I will take a quick shower and change my clothes."

"Will you be busy the whole day?" I queried, studying her beautiful form. I guessed I could consider our trip in Taiwan to be our honeymoon since we're back in Seoul she would be extremely busy rebuilding their company. "Can I expect you to be here before dinner time?"

She smiled at me sadly. "I will try but I can't promise you. If I am not at home by seven tonight you should eat your dinner without me, okay? I will be very busy at the office today. Uncle Hyunsuk introduced me to a Korean businessman who is interested in investing in the Chou Industries. I have a meeting with him this afternoon."

"Korean businessman, you say?" I repeated with a frown in my eyebrow. "Does he have a daughter?"

"Not that I am aware off?" She counted, probably mulling her brain for information. I couldn't help but admire her sexy body as Tzuyu strip in front of me unconsciously. I shouldn't feel embarrassed since I already saw every inch of her body but... "Why do you ask, anyway?"

"Just curious." I answered Tzuyu intently. It's hard to conduct conversation with her while she was almost naked in front of me. She stood proudly with her boxers. If I didn't know better I would assume that she's silently seducing me.
She shrugged and went to the en suite bathroom. I wanted to follow and share a steamy shower with her but that action might cause her to be late with her appointment. So I decided to stay in the bed and carefully plan my late night seduction later.
