Chapter two

Deal? Or no Deal? ; First Job

This isn't right.

I will not lose to this person even if he's the son of P.M. Nanjirou, even if he was my long time crush. I will not be corrected again as I was with my Step-Mom. I will not.

They're laughing at me alright, and Ryoma, he is not the Prince-like person like I imagined him to be. I know that I am not the type of girl to say foul words, but right now, god forgive me, but I want to say that…He's a Jerk!

Now, since I made an accident-mess on this person, who's also an Echizen, a respected person who owns this restaurant, I might get fired after this. Fired again from a job, I got it that easily, and I lose it that easily too, I didn't even receive my salary yet.

So, I stood up, arranged my uniform, and looked at Ryoma's eyes directly. I can see him smirking.

I gathered all of the courage inside of me, since I'm in front of a powerful person. I exhaled.

His smirk disappeared when he saw a tear escaped my left eye. I wiped the tear, exhaled once again and arranged my skirt.

"Well, Master Ryoma, since you are the son of Prime Minister Nanjirou, as was explained to me by your cousin," I cut my sentence as I undid the bun of my hair with the Seigaku clip, leaving my wavy hair down. Then I continued "And since you own this restaurant, you might as well fire me from what I have done to you" I talked tough, but formal. But you can notice me tremble with teary eyes, even if I look tough for the first time.

I untied the ribbon on my collar, since it represents that I am a part of this restaurant. After doing it, I threw it in front of Ryoma, together with the clip.

All of them stopped laughing with their full attention focused on me. I bowed at Ryoma. I breath again, ready for another speech.

"And since I will be fired from this job, I might as well tell you, that be thankful I became one of your fans, but I will give up being your fangirl, because…"

Another tear fell from my eyes. All of them were staring at me, especially Ryoma.

"You are the most despicable person and the worst of human kind that I've ever met" I continued with a tough voice and also half-shouted. I clenched my fists. I glanced at the mean guys, the red haired one and the spiky headed one. I nearly smiled. Their face was priceless.

But when I looked back at Ryoma, his smirking face returned. What in the world is he? Does he have any feelings? Oh god, I know that this is the first time that I am mocking a person inside my mind, but please let me do this, only to this person. He have been my crush ever since and now that I met him, this is his attitude?

I nearly jumped when he spoke.

"Then, since this is the first and last time that we will see each other again" he stopped, and looked at his teammates, "I might as well tell you 'too', that I don't care if you're my fan and that you must pay for the things that you've damage" he said, still with his smirking face. He mocked me by saying the word 'too' and repeated my words.

Right. He doesn't care about the people who cares about him, example, his fans. And I WAS one of them.

"What? I'm sorry 'Master Echizen' but I only spilled a glass of ponta on your shirt, and it doesn't need to be paid, l-laundry wash should do it" I said emphasizing the words 'Master Ryoma', and trembled as his smirk grew wider.

"Oh, did you not know that I will be having a meeting with my Father" he said.

I wiped the tears running down on my cheecks.

"A-and what is the connection of that with this matter?"

"After this dinner, I shall meet him with this shirt, and this shirt is the most expensive gift that my father gave me, but…as you see, you ruined it" he said.

I ruined it? He can just go to the laundry shop and let it dry there! Okay, this is the first time that I've been this frustrated in my whole life!

"T-then, w-what shall I do to make up for that m-mistake?" I trembled in fear. What if he let me jump off in this building at the roof top? I love my….'stupid'….life, just for god's sake!

"Of course, pay for it" he said, why can't he stop smirking?

"Right now?" and I just can't stop trembling.

"Of course not, how can a waitress like you pay it up right now?" He chuckled.

"It depends on how much it costs" I automatically answered.

"Exactly fifty million dollars" he said as he left his face towel on his shoulder.

My jaw dropped.

How can I pay that? H-how the h-h-hell can I p-pay that? And…Is there really a t-shirt that costs that much? Of course there is, it is the shirt that this man is wearing right now! god, I want to cry…

"Taken aback? Here's the deal….. I'll give you a month until you can save that much money and pay it to me directly, that week will start this week"

"But-" a month? This week? Is he killing me?

"Give me your contact number and I'll call you whenever the deadline has come" he smirked.

"I did not agree yet" I said, still having those clenched fists.

"And if you will not do it, 'I might as well' send you to prison"

"What?" I whispered.

Then Miss Nanako came in and started questioning the guys, who also started smirking after Ryoma's explanation, and then she looked at me with surprised eyes, while Ryoma, still looking at me, still with that smirking face, and me, standing still.

"Don't forget the deal" he reminded.

This is my worst nightmare.

. . . . . . . . . .

4:00 am.

That is the time that I must meet, or let's say I must wake up at that time to start my multiple jobs.

And it's all because of 'that' person.

I got a lot of job with the help of my best friend last sunday. She bought a newspaper for rich people which costs 70 dollars, and wow, she is so rich. Back to the topic, we read it and saw a lot of companies who's hiring for different jobs with good salaries to be offered, and the jobs starts on monday.

And hey, I got accepted by several jobs/part-time jobs just by calling them.

You know what? this is an another weird thing, just like when I applied in Seigaku restaurant, I got accepted that fast...Forget it.

Here's the VERY SHORT schedule of my jobs, sarcastically speaking:

First job: House taker of the Tezuka family, one of the richest families, working time from 4:45 to 8:45.

Second job: Saleslady in a Sport's Mall (Tennis and basketball) working time from 9:15 to 12:00 noon.

Third job: A part time manager of a tennis team, working time from 1:00 pm to 4:15 pm.

Fourth job: To be a babysitter or to fetch the Kaoru Family's last son from school, from 4:45 pm to 5:45 pm.

And last but not the least and the permanent one...

Me, still being a waitress from that Seigaku restaurant, from 6:00 pm to 12:00 midnight.

You're probably wondering right now why I wasn't terminated from that job, right? You see, Ryoma baloma jerk Echizen has still his heart for torturing me...When Miss Nanako entered the room last Saturday, she was shocked right? So...I walked out after I spoke with Miss Nanako, after I saw her discussed things with Ryoma.

And yesterday, she called my number, saying that I am not terminated from the job.

I wonder what Ryoma thought...maybe he wants to torture me by being a waitress doing everything. I hope not...

. . . . . . . . . . . .

Okay, first job. And it's 4:35 am. (Still sleepy)

Here I am in front of a gigantic white gate.

Who wouldn't be nervous when it's your first time being a house keeper, especially when you're a ...klutz? Of course all of us would be nervous.(Sakuno: even though I hate admitting it )

I pressed the doorbell and a voice popped out of the speaker beside it.

"Welcome to Tezuka residence, may I help you Ma'am?" The voice said.

Nice. A surveillance camera is surveilling me.

"I-I'm Sakuno Ryuuzaki, the new part-time house keeper" I said, nervous.

Then after that, I heard the voice giggled. Is he/she laughing/giggling at me? What? did I said something...wrong?

"You may enter now Miss Ryuuzaki"

Then the gigantic white gate opened. Can I faint right now? What a house, no, Mansion!

Then a butler (I think) came in front of me and lead me inside the house.

The house has these maze like garden outside with marble statues displayed. And inside was like a bigger maze inside the house with paintings, antiques and red carpet displayed along the passage way. Where was he leading me?

"Um, where are we...going, sir?" I asked, still nervous.

"To the room of young Master, in order for you to meet him, Miss Ryuuzaki" He answered, not turning back at me, and continued walking.

I'm meeting the 'young' master?

After a few minutes of walking, turning corridors while looking at the paintings, and climbed some stairs, we reached a room at the last part yet biggest part of the house. It was a door with a plain looking brown mahogany color with red walls and gold linings.

The butler knocked at the door and nodded his head after three seconds, as if he got the sign of permission...weird. He opened the door, and...

The handsome eyeglassed guy.

I saw him from the restaurant! So he's Kunimitsu Tezuka!

So that's why the last name 'Tezuka' was familiar.

Ummm, yes, I know his name, but I never thought that he (had been) would be one of Ryoma Baloma's friends!

"You may leave us now Kirihara"

"Then, excuse me Young Master, Miss Ryuuzaki" Then he closed the door, leaving me and the 'young' Master behind.

He was leaning on last part of the bed, with a laptop on his lap, ignoring me...I think.

Did he realized that I was the waitress at the restaurant?

Since he wasn't paying attention, I remained standing there and observed the room.

Have I mentioned that his room is a s big as my apartment?

Simply put, the room was colored with red carpet and walls, black linigs of the wall, golden linigs of the curtains and the fireplace.

His room has a small prince-like sala set (sofas and such) and a fire place, a T.V. ,a door which is surely the bathroom, a big balcony through the glassed-window door with red curtains and gold linings, a king sized bed, abstract paintings hanging on the red walls with black frames, and last..a picture of him, Ryoma, and the beige colored hair guy on the top of his small table beside the bed.

Didn't realized that I was staring at it until the 'young' master called my attention by clearing his throat.

"Please have a seat" He said, not looking at me, I just nodded and took a seat from the red sofa.

I was insecured, since I was in a palace-like room with a Prince, yet I was wearing jeans and blue long sleeves.

I breathe.

"Your name is Sakuno Ryuuzaki, am I not wrong?" he asked, still looking at his laptop.

"Yes, young...master" I answered, nearly stuttered.

"Just call me anything you like, except 'Young Master'" he said, glancing at me.

I was about to ask why, when he spoke again for the second time, and his explanation surprised me.

"You have no other Master than Ryoma, so do not call me master" he said, now fully looking at me.

"What?" I asked, surprised.

Ryoma? My Master?

He adjusted his glasses.

"I do not repeat my words, Miss Ryuuzaki, even if I am the son of the one your working for, I still have the power to order you, and not to order me" he said, looking back at his laptop.

Uh oh...wrong move.

"S-s-sorry Tezuka Sir" I stood up and bowed.

"Your starting today right? Please look around the house while me and my Parents are not here, but before that, here are the rules and regulations."

Then the long explanation began.
