Chapter 2

She started by talking with respect first and apologizing. "I beg for forgiveness for using my father's name and threatening you. I was still in the mood of fighting and arguements."

Next she introduced herself as Hazel F. Aster second daughter of the famous business tycoon Louis Astor.

A petite little fairy-like lady with beautiful blue eyes and black hair. It won't be an exaggeration to say she looked like a princess.

"If tonight was, in any way a problem for you because of me, I apologize for that too." Dusk recieved a gentle bow.

The guy said nothing and just stood there. A tall and handsome boy with a 190cm tall frame kept gazing at her as she spoke which made her nervous.

"Oh----" "Umm---" She hesitated but said it anyways, "Would you like to chat over a coffee?"

"Milady's words are my command." He was still prioritizing his job so his client's words were supposed to be his commands__ yes?

She felt a little disappointment at his reaction but at the very least, he would listen unlike the others in her family.

Hazel started to pour her heart out the very instant they sat with the coffee. "My father has always regarded my opinions as a burden even though he care a lot about both me and my sister. I ran away after having an arguement with him about where I want go to university."

"He says business, I say dance and thus both of us never come to a single conclusion over my career's debate. He is just so stubborn that he doesn't understand it is my future we are talking about, not his!"

"Oh right___!" Hazel jolted out of excitement, "Do you mind if I ask you to report me to the police or perhaps just your manager that I have a bad behaviour and I refuse to pay?"

"I am afraid I can not lie Milady. You have been very patient with an inexperienced employee like me and thus..."

"It is my request too. Please do it for me. I will pay you extra I promise. If my father gets a word of my bad behaviour outside, I am certain he would throw me out of the house then I can pursue whatever I want to. Right?"

Her face shown bright and warm in a chilly cold night as she let him know her childish plan however he didn't move an inch, "I beg for forgiveness milady."

"Hmphhhhh!" She crossed her arms across and pouted hard.

"Pouting wouldn't let you have your way Milady." That tone he used for his sentence was more like him trying to accept his mistakes somehow and console her.

Their conversation was hindered by a sudden bang at the door, "Dusk, the manager wants to see you."

"I will be right there." He replied but she held his sleeve, "Please don't send anyone else here, I am_____ afraid." She looked away with embarrassment.

How angry was this girl with her father's decision to have come here at midnight and now she is scared?!

"I am not leaving you alone Milady. Please stay put until I am back from the office across the hallway." He left with these words of consolation.

She stood back up and thrusted her hand in her pocket, pulling out a cellphone.

The very first glance made her flinch with fear. "19 missed calls---!!!!!"

Not wasting a single minute, she collected her things and prepared to leave.

The moment she opened the door and stepped out, she collided with someone, "I apologize. I am in a bit of haste." She was ready to run but the person she had just barged into, held her arm with tremendous force pulling her towards him, "This is not the way to apologize here__ maid!"

She cooled herself and replied calmly, "I'm afraid you've mistaken me for an employee but I am a customer as well. Please mind your words and let me go. I humbly request."

"Look at you talking all high and mighty. Do you take me for a fool? People, especially all the maids, always lie when they encounter a situation like this one. So you found this one lie convincing too, didn't you?" He was so persistent on believing whatever he thought was right! Unreasonable!

"Oh my, I wish I had Drake here." She felt, for the first time in years, the need of her bodyguard with her.

She was still sighing when another palm held her arm and pushed the other guy away.

"RUN!" was the last thing she remembered before actually taking off.

As she tried to match this guy's speed, she couldn't help glancing at his back as he ran holding her wrist tight.

Cold__ It was so cold, freezing actually and he? He was in a thin plain white shirt just like the snow in this very season. How ironic, even if she compared him with the cold snow of the season, his hands were unusually warm.

Not to mention, there were no worries in their hears of what destination will this path take them to. She followed him like he was the only person in this world.

However, "Hmm___ for her? I just threw myself in a huge problem with my own hands." was the only thought running in repeat in his mind.

Without thinking or worrying, he ran away, out of the bar and even across the grumpy manager's room. He was certain the manager has seen him and even called but his ears were ringing and he didn't even stop at his calls!

The swift gust of wind was about to blow away her hat but he stopped just in time.

"Now...?"

She had the audacity to ask a question like that to the guy who just made his way to poverty by giving up his hard found job!

"Now, I will be leaving you outside your door and heading for my house." His temperament changed as swifty as the gust of wind just now. And ironically again, he became cold as the ice she just compared him with!

"HUH?" She tilted her head pretending not to understand. Does this guy has no pity?

"Exactly that." He picked her up on his shoulder this time, totally different from the princely way he did before, halted a taxi despite her denials and struggles.

"Is everything alright ma'am." Her weird cries also made the driver concerned and thus resulting in his question.

Dear Hazel here was about to cause another problem by putting some sort of blame on him when he covered her mouth with his palm and answered himself, "My girlfriend here is angry with me. I am certain she needs a little time at her own house to cool down and then we would surely make up."

"Oh Sweet couple these days." The taxi driver commented blushing.

"WHAT DID HE JUST SAY!" She mouthed.
