Inside a magnificent estate, a white-haired old man wearing robes was being meticulously attended to by a group of servants who were softly massaging his old bones.He was an old man who seemed to be in his eighties, with a face full of wrinkles.
These carefully selected maids were all young and beautiful and they work with efficiency, their soft and nimble fingers were effective in bringing him comfort and making him sigh in pleasure.
Standing respectfully on the side was a middle aged man clad in a black suit reads some reports to him.
"Master, our spy said that the young Sir found him out and specifically ordered him to tell you that he won't come back but....but... ".
Fine beads of sweats covered the man's forehead as he struggles to say the rest of his words. He looked fearfully at his master and didn't dare say anymore.
The Old man frowned a little, his lips tightly pursed as he glanced faintly at the middle aged man. His eyes cold and deep, putting pressure on others.
"Old friend, you've been serving me for so many years now. So no need to fear your words. Say it. I'm listening" The Old man's revered voice rang out.
The middle aged butler bowed and replied,
"Thank you master for your grace. The young Sir said he'll not return back here unless it... is to attend your funeral".
Upon hearing this, the old man snorted,"Unfilial son. My death? In his dreams"
"Yes. yes. Master will live till a hundred and more".The Old butler quickly flattered the Old man.
The Old Master gaze fell on the the young maid massaging his feet and a strange smile appeared on his old wrinkled face.
He suddenly grabbed the maid's hand and examined it,
"Such beautiful pair of hands you have". He said.
The little maid was a little beautiful with delicate features. Her skin was soft and supple, full of youthful glow. Compared to his wrinkled and worn out flesh, he could only sigh in envy, missing his passed youth.
"What is your name?" He asked.
With head bowed, the maid trembling in fear replied,"My name is Arabelle"
Patting her hand gently, he said,
"Hmmm what a sweet name you have. Little Arabelle, from now on, stay by my side and help me feel young again. Okay". The little maid nodded.
Although this old man wore a gentle smile, but he was unfathomable and wasn't someone easy to deal with. Seeing what's happening, the Old butler said,"I'll start with the preparation Master?. Old master nodded. His grip on the maid Arabelle tightened.

"Miss, you really can't leave this place without giving me the camera",said a burly man.
"Why should I give you my camera. This is a public domain and I'm allowed to take any picture that l want. If you obstruct my path one more time I'll call the police on you for kidnapping"
Nalani's angry and frustrated voice yelled at the tall man who was obstructing her path and trying to forcefully take her camera.
Despite her angry outburst, the man remained unfazed, still refused to move and kept on insisting she returns her camera or delete the photos she has taken earlier. Nalani was so angry that she wanted to cry.
She came here really early to this cold mountain full of snow to capture the beautiful scenery of the falling snowflakes with the first ray of sunlight in winter. After waiting for so long to capture that beautiful moment, she finds her scenery grace with the presence of a being so beautiful and otherworldly.
A tall and extremely good looking man clad in white apparels and standing in the middle of the trees covered in snow, his pale hand stretched out to catch snowflakes and he has a small but warm smile on his thin lips. He looked like an immortal have wandered off to the human world.
Seeing such a perfect and ethereal scenery, Nalani found herself captivated and would be stupid to miss out on capturing the moment so she took her camera and started snapping photos until this other man appeared in front of her demanding she delete her photos.
Something she refused to do. When will she get the chance to take another photos like this. Nalani wanted to leave this place as soon as possible, although she's covered in thick clothes she still feels cold from staying out for so long. She kept blowing hot breath onto her fingers to give warmth but still stubbornly refused to give in.
The two of them continue to be stalemates as they glared at each other, each finding the other to be unreasonable.
"Bobby, is that how to treat a lady? Let her go?"
A charming and gentle sounded behind them. Stunned, Nalani quickly turned back to look at the person who just spoke and found the source of her problem standing there.
She sized him up and realized that he was an older man seemed to be in his late thirties or so but was in very good shape and was very good looking too.
She frowned and thought, 'It's freezing cold out here yet he's dressed like he's attending a coffee date. Whom is he trying to impress'.
She rolled her eyes.
Meanwhile, upon seeing Nalani's face, the man's eyes widen a little and his left hand inadvertently went up to cover his chest as looked at her transfixed. The girl in front of him was really beautiful. Big blue eyes, long eyelashes covering her eyes, small, cherry lips and nose, and snow skin. She was delicate and feisty just like....
Being stared at so unabashedly, instead of feeling happy, Nalani flared and sneered,
"Uncle, if you keep staring at me like a pervert, I'll have no choice but to call the cops on you".
What immortal straying to the mortal world. He's just a pervert. She must've been blind to think of such. Pei! What bad luck.
