“Ha-ha!” He faked a laugh, “I am really fine you don’t have to worry just go to the room. Mr. Frank prepared a room for you, go meet him, he will show you where to stay, and I will send for you when I need you”. Roberto answered warmly as his footstep hastened and his face went back into a frown as soon as he was away from her. Roberto walked into the shower as soon as he got to his bedroom. He laid in the tub as he felt the warmth of the water Mr. Frank had prepared for him earlier. He thought about what happen earlier and couldn’t find a reason why he did that. Maybe the comic book possessed me he thought as he continued to enjoy the warm bath that made him feel a little bit okay. Few minutes later, he was done with having his bath, he put on a robe as he called for Mr. Frank who came almost immediately. “You called for me young master!” Mr. Frank bowed as he entered the suite. They talked about work until it was 04:00pm. “Let’s round it up for today” Roberto said with his usual cold voice as Mr. Frank began to pack up. He was having a meeting by midnight so he had to rest for a bit now or later. “Young master, he is back!” Mr. Frank said hurriedly as he was about to leave. Of course, Roberto knew who he referred to, it was his old man, Stephen. “Okay, give me detail about his location before tomorrow” he requested coldly as Mr. Frank quietly exited the room. Roberto’s father Stephen Alexandra was one of the famous men in City A. He always got whatever he wanted and was merciless, ruthless and strict since the death of his lovely wife, Roberto’s mother. Roberto and his father never got along. Stephen always blamed him for taking away his beloved wife and added pain and sorrow to his life which was a very big lie. Elsa, Stephen’s wife died when she was in the labor room, she died while giving birth to Roberto whom was their first and only child. Roberto always thought it was no one but Stephen’s fault who impregnated her. He always hated his father for bringing him into existence and taking away someone so dear to him. Though Stephen married another wife which became Roberto’s stepmother, she always maltreated him and didn’t treat him with love. Roberto’s stepmother had children. She raised them to become the next heir which made her detest Roberto, she wanted her children to inherit Stephen’s property though Roberto was the first child. Now few day ago he came back to City A unexpectedly, it was so unusual. They had dinner which was little because neither Roberto nor Anna had an appetite to eat, they had things to worry about. Anna had been so worried that Roberto was angry with her from the incident that happened earlier, she was restless since they came back and barely ate during dinner. Roberto went to his study immediately after dinner he didn’t have an appetite, though, he didn’t notice that Anna was not eating. “What is he doing now?” Anna thought, she had been waiting for him since he entered that room, she had been looking at the door since he entered there. “When did I become this caring?” she thought. “I think I should bring him some snacks, he didn’t eat anything during dinner”. “No I should wait a little” she began contemplating on what to do. She was so confused at the moment and finally, she decided as she headed towards the kitchen. “No!” Anna screamed in her head while heading towards the kitchen. The maids had gone to bed at that time so no one disturbed her as she picked up some biscuits and made some green tea. Knock, Anna knocked slightly with a tray of biscuits and tea in her other hand. “Yes, come in, the door is open” he answered in a cold and low tone. “What do you want now?” he asked when she was finally in, without looking away from what he was doing. “Well, I brought some snacks, I thought you might be hungry since you barely ate dinner” Anna stammered trying to act as though she was fine but she was damn scared. It was very obvious she was scared. Roberto looked away from what he was doing and gave her his full attention. “Tea?” Anna asked smiling weirdly, she blinked slightly trying her best to not look away from his gaze. “Nope, I don’t eat late night snacks” Roberto replied almost immediately as he turned back to finish up his work, it was almost midnight and he had a meeting then. “I actually came to apologize for today’s events, I didn’t mean what I said earlier, I am sorry” Anna apologized briefly, fiddling with hem of her dress. “I told you, I am not angry”, he said without looking at her, he already turned around to finish up his work. “Then, take the tea!” she pestered him with a straight face. “No I don’t want to” Roberto said as he continued what he was doing. “It seems like you have not still forgiven me” Anna pouted, she wanted him to drink the tea since he had forgiven her, she didn’t plan to waste the time she used to make the tea, she planned to make him drink all of it. “I have!” he replied turning around to face her, he chuckled slightly. This lady was acting really cute now. “Okay” Anna said with a sigh, she gave up and wanted to leave. Roberto was also decided to take the tea as she stood up swiftly, they bumped into each other. She spilled some of the tea on her hand, it was burning hot as she threw the rest of the tea she was holding. She fell clumsily as the tea also fell, she closed her eyes in fear embracing whatever would happen next minute. Roberto on the other hand saw this, he made a move as he guarded her with his back, lying on her, covering her whole body with his, and he blocked her snow white skin from the burning hot tea. In the process of saving her,their lips met by mistake.
