My Stubborn Mistress

Young Mansion is now owned by someone named Shun Crow.

In the middle of the night, there is a small figure who were invading the kitchen. . . and from a small light from the hallway, this figure eating comfortably in the round table of the kitchen.

Shun's POV

Shun was admiring the beautiful moon in the sky tonight. He was on the phone talking to someone and giving instructions.

"You knew what you must do," Shun told the person on the other line.

"Yes, boss. The full reports are already in your table," informed by Kier who's the person on the other line. "First thing in the morning tomorrow, I'll set a meeting with G Company."

"Alright, that's good. I'll leave it all to you." Shun ended the call.

Kier Lawrence is a Law graduate at Harvard University. He hired him while taking up Political Science then sponsored his law course in the US. His family owns a small law firm and with Shun's influences, the small firm rises on top and becomes a giant one. He becomes the private Legal Affairs Director of Shun's empire. He has many trusted lawyers of his company but Shun is such a secretive person, he only wanted a few people working directly at him with his private businesses.

After the call, Shun notices a shadow coming down from the stairs then went to the kitchen. He smirked. He follows her quietly and watches her in secret.

He then decided to show himself when the young lady finishing half away.

"You should eat slowly," he told her.

He saw how her small body quiver for a moment and wanted to yell at him.

He picks up a clean glass and fetch some water from the fridge then place beside her plate.

CA.S.SIE'S POV

She woke up in the middle of the night and hunger strikes her stomach. She felt so weak. She slowly comes down from her bed and supports herself by holding the wall until she got out of her bedroom. Cassie holds firmly at the railings of the staircase until she's down on the ground floor.

Slowly, she quietly walks towards the kitchen. Hunger is killing her. Good thing is, there is some food nicely wrapped inside the refrigerator. She takes them out and pre-heat in the oven, then start eating and fills her stomach.

"Do you want me to have a heart attack?" she was quivering for a few seconds then slowly calming down.

After moving back from France, most of the times she lived alone in this huge Villa. Her Aunt Lydia was often out of the country or staying in Mainland City all the time. She always left home alone that she was used to it already. Now, she remembered that there are a lot of men staying at the Villa. She was suddenly precautious.

Yet, he did not apologize. Her mine grumbled. Instead, she saw him picks up a clean glass and fills it with cold water. To her surprise, he places it down beside her plate. Suddenly, he acted gentleman but the fact that he doesn't show any conscience of startling her. How arrogant! He even just casually sat across the table. Cassie keeps murmuring inside her head.

She was still in the state of disbelief. A man like him truly thinks is the king of the world. She pressed her lips and calming down herself to speak up.

"I'll leave right away after I got my plane ticket back in France," she announced.

She watches how the man in front of her would react.

"Who told you that you can leave?" he asked her. Now she's the one who was surprised instead.

"What do you mean?" she asked.

"Did I kick you out? I remembered yesterday, I did not, and I have no plan to do so. . ." Shun stated. "Who will serve me every time I come home?" he added.

"I learned that Auntie Ling and her husband only coming here to work twice a week, and that left you often alone home without no one accompanying you. That's not good," Shun asserted.

He continued speaking when no reaction from her. "Starting tomorrow, they will work six times a week," he added.

"What? Why?"

"What why?" Shun repeated.

"Isn't you want me to become your maid? Then why hiring aunty Ling full time?"

"Did I ever mentioned I want you to become my maid?" Shun asked back. Cassie is growing puzzled and so he explained. "Truly I want you to do errands for me. Do you think it will be comfortable for auntie Ling to bring me tea or food around with all the chores?"

She stares at him for a long moment then nodded. "Okay." Is all she answered. She can't find any words at the moment to counter his statement.

"I want you to concentrate on your studies. You'll graduate soon, you need to prepare yourself for college." Shun apprises that made her surprised.

She was dumbfounded. Why he's thinking too much about her and making things easier for her? She wanted to ask many questions but no words coming out from her mouth.

"It's late, you still have school tomorrow," Shun gets up from his chair. He takes glances at her before he left the kitchen.

Cassie was left in disbelief.
