PSYCHO MATE

Our eyes met, Lloyd looked at me for a moment and smirked before walking back in. Aidan whispered to me, “Who was that person? Was he smiling at us earlier? Hey, who was he smiling with?”. "I don't know. And that was Young Master Lloyd, Master Horan’s oldest son. Young Master Lloyd is in the same position as Young Master Caesar," I replied to Aidan in a whisper. “Oho, looks like he was smiling at you, Ryne,” Aidan said teasingly. "Haha, no-no, no way", I replied with a chuckle. "Must be because you're handsome, Ryne. Hehe," said Aidan, who also laughed. I just laughed at what Aidan said, but in my heart, I thought that Lloyd was definitely not smiling with good intentions, but a grin at one who didn't know what he was planning. I immediately got goosebumps at the thought of what Lloyd was thinking. And sure enough, on the sidelines of the meeting between the main family and the minor family, Lloyd made me meet him. I was really scared that if someone saw the two of us, the main family's house was full of CCTV cameras, and, of course, if I was seen with Lloyd, then I would be questioned by the main family. "Sir Lloyd, is there anything I can help you with?", I asked Lloyd politely while glancing around me. Lloyd smirked and leaned closer to me until there were only a few inches until our bodies touched each other. I panicked and stepped back but Lloyd grabbed me by the waist and said in a voice that was like a whisper that sent chills down my spine, "Make me an iced Americano, Ryne". Lloyd is so crazy, right now, we're in one corner of the hallway in the main family home but he dares to touch me like that. Even though when I looked around there was no one else and I also believed that the position where Lloyd and I were standing was a blind spot from CCTV cameras, still, at any time, people could come and pass-through this hallway. I pushed Lloyd's arm away and said, "Okay, Sir Lloyd. I'll make it for you and give it to you in the meeting room." I looked down and was about to turn away, but Lloyd quickly grabbed me and kissed the crook of my neck. His breath blows against my skin, which makes me feel a strange sensation until I close my eyes. I called his name in a low voice and a soft sigh as his lips ran down my neck, "Lloyd~~Lloyd". I heard a voice from a distance that was getting closer and closer which made me immediately wake up from this crazy moment and immediately pushed Lloyd's body away from me. Then I said to Lloyd in a pretty loud voice, "Young Master Lloyd, I will immediately bring the iced Americano you asked for. Please wait for a little bit". Sure enough, two bodyguards walked along with trays filled with drinks and snacks to take to the meeting room. The two bodyguards looked surprised to see me and Lloyd standing quite close even though I had pushed him earlier, but still, we were standing too close to each other. But the two immediately changed their facial expressions and saluted Lloyd and then walked away again. I gave Lloyd an annoyed look and just turned to leave. Until I heard Lloyd speak with a small laugh that seemed to mock me, "Your annoyed face is quite adorable, heh". I didn't care what he said and kept walking away from Lloyd. I entered the meeting room and saw Young Master Caesar and Master Harry and also Master Horan, who seemed to be discussing work ignoring me, who came with an iced Americano, while Lloyd saw me coming and looked at me with his grin. Sir Peter, who was standing by the door, asked me who had just entered, "Ryne, who is that drink for?". I turned to Sir Peter and was about to answer but Lloyd was ahead of me, "My drink". I glanced at Lloyd, then glanced at Sir Peter. Sir Peter just nodded and told me to come in to give him Lloyd's drink. I nodded and walked in. I also didn't forget to salute Master Harry, Master Horan, and Young Master Caesar, who glanced at me for a moment and then went back to discussing their work as if I wasn't there. I put Lloyd's requested iced Americano in front of Lloyd, but I was shocked by Lloyd suddenly dropping his stylus pen to my feet. Spontaneously, I immediately bent down to pick it up but at the same time, Lloyd also looked down as if he was going to take his own stylus pen. I immediately flinched and stared at him in shock, but all I saw were stares from Lloyd and a grin that gave me goosebumps. Lloyd looked at me then raised his eyebrows, giving me a code for me to pick up his stylus pen. I swallowed my saliva because I was so nervous right now. I grabbed Lloyd's stylus pen and that's when Lloyd quickly stuffed something in my coat pocket that made me break out in a cold sweat. "This is your stylus pen, Young Master Lloyd," I said quietly and slightly shaking as I placed the stylus pen on the table. "Oh, thanks. Thanks for the iced Americano too, Ryne," Lloyd said with a smile. I just nodded and immediately turned to leave. I passed Sir Peter and realized that Sir Peter was looking at me deeply. I'm worried, could it be that Sir Peter watched as Lloyd stuffed something into my coat pocket? I just smiled a little and said goodbye. I tried not to look suspicious by walking as casually as possible, but I couldn't deny that I was sweating profusely because I was so worried and nervous. I went into the bathroom and washed my face and then I took something Lloyd tucked into my coat pocket, which turned out to be a small note that said, "I'll be waiting tomorrow at 4 pm at the usual place. If you don't come, then I'll come to pick you up at the main family house straight away". Oh s**t, I know being with Lloyd isn't a good thing for me, but what can I do because I've fallen into this deep hole? I regret it but I also enjoy it. If I hadn't met Lloyd while I was filling my free time when I was off from work by going to the bar by myself, then those stressful days like today because of my little secret with Lloyd would never have happened. I guess I was unlucky, instead of getting a future wife. Instead, I was in Lloyd's vicious circle. Especially when the situation between the main family and the minor family is currently quite heated, which makes me more and more unable to sleep peacefully every day. I wanted to get out of Lloyd's grip but somehow I didn't know how either. I looked at the clock which showed 3.20 pm. I started to get agitated and glanced at Young Master Richard who was still screaming like crazy commenting on the drama he was watching. Joshua seemed to have closed his eyes but seemed occasionally to join in screaming according to Young Master Richard's screams. Bastian just hugged the pillow and stared at the television screen with a tired look. Yes, we are all tired, since last night, Young Master Richard invited us to watch Korean dramas non-stop and only stopped when Young Master Richard felt hungry or wanted to go to the toilet. As for us, the bodyguards still have to follow him wherever he goes and whatever he does. Exhausted, and very tired, I sighed and thought of a way to get out of this room. Today was supposed to be my day off but when I just stepped out of the gate of this house, Young Master Richard quickly caught me and pulled me in again to continue watching the Korean drama we watched all night. How many times have I tried to leave Young Master Richard since this afternoon, but somehow Young Master Richard can always catch me again and again? Even more, he clings to me. The proof is, even now, even though he is very focused on the Korean drama he is watching, his hands tightly hug my legs that are wearing tight jeans. Unlike those who usually wear formal suits, today I'm wearing tight jeans and a black t-shirt, and an unbuttoned shirt. Casual dress because I thought it was my day off and I was going to get out of this house in the afternoon before I would be meeting with that bastard Lloyd, but seeing what's in front of me now, I'm sure it would be hard for me to get out of this house, let alone meet Lloyd. Ah damn it, in my brain right now is a picture of Lloyd that suddenly came and pulled me from the main family house and then a picture of me being shot by Sir Peter. Maybe this is the end of my life, dying stupidly because of entering the vicious circle of Lloyd and being considered a traitor, even though my job is only to always follow this demon, Young Master Richard. "Wow, I'm hungry, I want macarons", said Young Master Richard, who suddenly screamed and patted my leg quite hard. I immediately had a brilliant idea that might get me out of Young Master Richard's grip right now. I stood up from the sofa and said quietly to Young Master Richard, "Young Master Richard, I heard from the security guard that there was a delicious macaron shop near the main end that had just opened a few weeks ago. He said the macarons are cute and colorful too. Does Young Master Richard want to try it? The line is very long. How about I buy it for you, Young Master Richard?". Young Master Richard looked at me, narrowing his eyes and furrowing his brows. I looked at him with a smile, trying to look casual. Young Master Richard looked at me for a while before finally averting his gaze and saying, "Hm, you look like you really want to go out. Honestly, who do you want to meet in your free time?". Ugh, my heart seemed to stop beating for a moment. My mind runs wild and thinks that Young Master Richard knows about my meeting with Lloyd. I have to say this but this crazy-looking Young Master Richard is not as crazy as you think, he has a lot of eyes and ears that people wouldn't think of before. As his head bodyguard, I know a few things like how Young Master Richard has control over CCTV and main family home security and Bastian is one of the IT Freaks who takes care of this, so I wouldn't be surprised if Young Master Richard knew a lot about this house. "Young Master Richard, I just wanted to buy you macarons. Not long, just a moment," I replied with a smile as normal as possible. Young Master Richard turned his head again and looked at me, then said with a bit of annoyance, "Okay, go away, but I'm only giving you until 6 pm. If you don't come back with my macarons by 6 pm then I will punish you and the people you meet". I became more and more convinced that Young Master Richard knew about me and Lloyd, which made my sweat drip involuntarily with coldness. I chuckled, trying to hide my nervousness, and said to Young Master Richard, "Young Master Richard, I'm not going to meet anyone. I'll just buy macarons and then come back". I saw Joshua, who was fast asleep, had woken up and looked like he was going to say something, but I immediately put my hand on his head and pushed him back to lean back on the sofa to sleep. Whereas Bastian just glanced at me and said, "Blueberry muffin for me". "Okay, if there is," I replied, standing up and quickly leaving the room. I glanced at my watch which showed 3:52 pm. I don't know if I have enough time to reach my meeting place with Lloyd, because from the main family house to where Lloyd and I usually meet, it's quite far, about 15 minutes if I use a car quickly, but at this hour, normally the roads would be jammed so I'm not sure if I could get there in less than 10 minutes. “Ryne, where are you going?" called Aidan, who was seen walking into the house after parking his motorbike. I saw Aidan's motorbike and immediately thought of a way to get there at 4 o'clock. I pushed Aidan's shoulder and said quickly, "Lend me your motorbike for a moment". "Huh?"Aidan looked confused but he immediately handed over his motorbike keys. I accepted it and said, "Thank you, I'll take good care of your bike". "Oh, okay," replied the still-confused Aidan. I immediately got on Aidan’s motorbike and was about to start the engine but someone came with his motorbike, which was none other than Lloyd. I immediately broke into a cold sweat imagining what crazy thing Lloyd was going to do. "God, save me from this devil in front of me", I thought, praying that Lloyd wouldn't go crazy, even though I knew he was crazy.
