‘Do not do this again, Arthur warned.
“Yes, sir!” Sophia nodded obediendly. She was so embarrassed by the incident that she wanted to crawl into a hole.
Just then, Arthur’s phone rang. A look of surprise flashed across his features when he saw the caller ID, and he hurried to answer the call. “Hello?”
“Artie, it’s me! I’m corning to visit you!” a girly voice spoke up on the other line..
When the call ended, he gave Sophia an
unreadable look. She swallowed
nervously and asked, “What is it?”
“A friend of mine will be staying here for a while, he explained. A moment of thought later, he added, “‘From now on, you are not to misbehave in front of me. and you will act like a proper servant. Do you understand?”
Sophia was no idiot. She had a feeling that this friend of Arthur’s was someone that he secretly had a crush on, so she suggested hopefully, ‘You know, you’re
more than welcome to give me some time off if you think I’m only going to get in your way.”
He eyed her frigidly and bit out commandingly. “You are not leaving.
Curiosity got the better of her as she tilted her head to one side and asked in amusement, “So, is this friend of yours just an ordinary friend, or is she someone special to you?”
I don’t see how that’s any of your business,” he replied with a raised brow.
“Well, if it’s the former, then I’d be more than willing to play the part of the loyal servant and wait on your hand and foot, but if it’s the latter, then my presence here would put us all in a sticky situation, don’t you think?” She wanted to go home desperately, so she enunciated the point of her argument, “Young Master Weiss, all I’m asking is that you give me some time off.
His dark eyes were like a tempestuous ocean. He looked torn, but in the end, he gritted his teeth and shot her a warning
glare. “Do not even think about leaving my side, Sophia.”
Her breath hitched. Why does that sound like a line from a romance novel? He had no right to order her to stay in such a roguish manner, she thought. She was only his maid, after all, and not his girlfriend.
Belligerent, she retorted, “I wasn’t planning on leaving!”
He glowered at her exasperatedly. It seems like there is still a long way to go before she will learn to be obedient.
Meanwhile, over at the Averna airport, a private jet had come to a stop on the tarmac, and an elegantly-dressed young lady was presently being escorted out of the jet by four bodyguards.
She walked out of the airport and put a hand up to block out the blazing afternoon sun. As she suddenly thought of something, a smile blossomed on her beautiful face.
“Miss, we’ve already contacted Young Master Weiss’ bodyguards, and they have sent us an address.”
