The Butler

Chapter 2

She sat down quietly, trying to scratch out the leathered sofa out of boredom as he's brother busy boiling his tea. Its almost past ten minutes after Hunter left the room as Ruther requested. He didn't speak from then nor her.

It felt like she was waiting for his judgement. Not that it was wrong, because she was caught and for the fact someone died. But, why he should be this quiet ? It itching her to speak first but she know the consequences if she showed her bratty fangs. So the only thing she could do is sighed, and cursed the handsome Hunter as he was the reason why she's back. " What do you think of Hunter ? "

She was caught off guard as he suddenly speak. Now, she didn't know how to answer.

" I-I think he's hot " She said blatantly , its the truth though. Not that he wanted to hear that, but she was just speaking her opinion. Her answer make him turn his head and glare at her disappointed. What ? I'm just speaking the truth, you ask for it. She wanted to say those words but she can't. Especially when he's this serious. She heard him sighed. The tea was ready so he went back on his seat and pour on the small cup.

She can smell its aroma, that seducing her nose. " Can I have some ? " She ask with a puppy eye, pleading him as she can't stop herself to moisture her drying throat. But he got more irritated. " Please " her second attempt. Expecting him to give some.

" You still have the guts after giving me a headache for two whole weeks ?, " he said with a deep in his every word. He was still calm but he's burning red. She knew that even if he's pretty handy in handling his anger. " I did not ask you to find me " she said trying to defend herself.

" Oh. So I had to ask for your permission before I hunt you down?! " he said sarcastically. This time he was raising his voice, she can also see his veins. My bad.

" I'm nineteen for petty sake ! " she said emphasizing her age. The age always matter. And she promised herself when she turn right age, she will leave this house to live a happy life anywhere she wanted. But his brother is blocking those dreams. I should have done it sooner if you just letting me go out. She wouldn't even dare to completely vanished, as this house hold a huge part of her heart and she thought of visiting from time to time.

" How ironic, you're old enough but still acting like a bratty child ! " He shouted. He took the cup filled with tea and drink it, she just watch him while devouring the tea. She gulped. I really wanted to try some. Her mind cry. If I knew this would take long, I should have drink something on our way here. " Look, I really wanted to experience the life outside. I knew nothing but a story on a book " She said explaining herself to him.

Ruther is not a bad big brother , but he's overly protective especially to her and her other sisters. Other than the two of them, they still a had a two brothers and twin sisters. She is the youngest while the man lecturing her is the eldest.

" If you just wanted to have a trip on the city, you should have told me ! " he growl.

" Told you ? And what? You'll just kill me with your doting behavior ! " She shouted back to him. She even wanted to cry like a child having a tantrum.

" I'm just protecting you ! " He shouted, like he wanted to nailed something on her hard head. But she won't believe him, Its not just a simple protection, he's not telling the truth. She know there's a deep reason why they have a very tight security but nobody would explain it to her.

" Screw that protection ! I'm not a kid anymore. I want my own rules. Anyway I'm done with you, and don't worry about me escaping " She stood up and head towards the door. She look at him in her shoulder. " I don't have a plan yet " Then she storm out the room without giving him a space to complain.

A bitter taste of tequila is needed after that draining energy fight. So she head down and went to the spacious kitchen, where maids are ready to serve the member of the family. She pulled a wooden chair and rest her feet before her butt. It was hella quiet as if nobody's there except her.

The two maids were surprised by her overflowing dark aura that they must felt when she entered the kitchen. " What's your name ? " The two looked at each other, maybe confused on what to answer.

What now? They don't even remember their names? Or are they prohibited to say it ? Her eyebrow raised. " Hello ? Am I talking to someone ? " she said, irritated with their silence. It must caught them off guard as they started to tense up.

" I'm maria, young miss " answered the braided girl who has a brown hair. " Alicia, young miss, " said the other one who looks older than the former. She sighed. Finally they talk. Giving her a relief, atleast it was more like she wasn't alone.

She made a sound by tapping her finger tips one after another on the table while looking at the two, their head down trying not to make eye contact to her. As stiff as she thought, they are more like a machine than a human.

" I want a bottle of tequila, right-this-moment " she demanded clearly spell out the last three words.

The two of them look at each other, trying find something on each faces. Confusion is what written in them. She shook her head, dealing with people is a lot more headache than having a debate with Sirenna. As the thought the night would befall into complete ruin, a good-looking man with a broad shoulder wearing a black long-sleeve that tucked in with a black slack and his manly waist embrace by the black leathered belt make her mouth hanging open.

Wow.

Breathtakingly threat.

He walks towards her direction - that ofcourse she followed with her eyes. He stop beside her and put down the tray with a glass of milk.

Goodness sake, his hand's also very appetizing. Her throat become more dry as she was captivated by the man who stood beside her. This is the first time she saw his whole appearance and got a chance to analyze him.

The situation before didn't give her the time to look at him carefully as the circumstances is different compare now. She gulped. His jaw hardened.

" Stop looking at me like that, you are making me feel disgusted " he said with an irritated tone. He's not even looking at her like she doesn't deserve it. Well it doesn't felt good when someone looking down on you but I can take him as an exception. She smiled with that thought.

" I'll take that as a compliment " she said with a seductive tone. She lift up the glass and drink the milk, he prepared only for her. She lick her lips as the last drop fell on her tongue. And look at his unreadable handsome face. " My brother is takin' a liking of you. Good job hunting me " she said teasing him.

His expression did not change. He must be a hard to get type. She thought. " He must've told you everything about me. Did he also told you to watch over me twenty-four seven? " She ask. Her eyes is on the empty glass while her finger tips tracing the shape of the mouth of the glass. " He told me everything but not... " he look at her and their eyes met. The situation look like he was the bully and she's the bullied with the way he's looking down on her. " about you. You being a slut "

Those words leave her jaw hanging and she almost lose control and grab him by his collar to make him take back his words. But she manage to stop it. She hated being treated like that, but the actions she'd done can't make her come in clean and for the record he caught him with his two eyes.

" I must surprised you. Sorry 'bout that. Can't help it " she said not allowing him to feel like a winner. He's pretty handsome but has a sharp tongue. She showed him that those words don't affect her. But deep inside she was really hurt.

This is the first time a man caught her attention, she have met lot of men older or her age but they don't even catch her interest. Jimm's Club is known in the sprint. So different people lurked in their, but nothing interest him not after Hunter appeared. He must have bewitched her.
