"ELENA! LANCE GREYSTON IS HERE TO SEE YOU!" Meyrin stormed inside my room, instantly waking me up from my sleep.
"WHAT?!" I quickly rose up from my bed, panicking from what she screamed to me. "W-Why is he here?!" I was wide awake now.
"H-he said that since you didn't want to come yesterday, he wants to meet you! IN PERSON!" She shook me on the shoulders. The information was already done processing in my head when she came in my room yelling.
"I don't want to meet him!" I collapsed back on my bed and pulled the covering over me. I wanted to cry in a hole. "Tell him to go away! I don't want to meet him…!" I told Meyrin.
"Got it!" I heard her footsteps retreating away.
I groaned in frustration until I heard Meyrin pleading to someone. "Please! You can't just barge in the room where she's sleeping! It's disrespectful! And rude!"
"Don't tell me that he's using force to get through…!" I quickly rushed out of the bed to change into an appropriate attire.
After changing, I rushed to where Meyrin was at. She was blocking his way to protect me. "Lance Greyston!" I yelled at him, seeing his tall figure standing in front of Meyrin. He was a handsome man with steel grey eye, skin pale as snow and charcoal black hair. But I'm not falling for a man like him.
"Ah! Just the woman I'm looking for." He moved past Meyrin and stood right in front of me, taking my hand to kiss.
"Stop." I pulled my hand away from his hold. "You are rude and disrespectful! Get out of here, Greyston! I don't want to speak with you! I'm an engaged woman who's marrying the butler of the household." I repeated myself from yesterday on the phone.
"Where is the butler then?" He tapped his foot on the wooden floor, arching his brow.
"He's out with the young master. He will be coming back soon. Now please-" I was cut off by him.
"I just want to get to know you, madam. Please don't take me in the wrong way. I'm not a bad person. Let's talk in the garden with your maid watching over us since you're shaking." He eyed my body movement with wry smile, biting his lips. "Let us go?"
"Meyrin." She came running to my side.
We went out at the back where the garden was displayed out in the open area. "What do you want to talk about?" I nervously asked, avoiding eye contact with him as I looked straight ahead.
"First off, how are you doing?"
"How am I doing? You know how I feel right now. I'm agitated by you! After all, you came barging inside the Manor!" I stopped to yell at him, actually making eye contact with him. "You are a persistent man that can not wait a second to be let in or do anything! I won't tolerate that behavior around me!" I glared at him. "Meyrin let's leave. Tanaka will take care of him." When I turned around to leave, he gripped my wrist tightly and I winced in pain.
"Get your hands off of Elena!" Meyrin ran over to me, pulling the other side of my hand.
"AH!" Being pulled by both arms were tearing my flesh apart. The knitted skin was being plucked apart…! "M-Meyrin… Let go." I asked her and she did.
"You are so short tempered? I wonder how your fiancé deals with that?" He tilted his head to the side, pulling me close to his chest as he stared down at me since I'm shorter than him.
"Let go of me." I demanded, clenching my fists tightly. I felt my nails digging into my skin, breaking each layers.
"No."
"Stop stressing me out. I'm pregnant and I don't need to be stressed because of you!"
"I'll let go if you come by my estate tomorrow." He leaned his face down closer. The closer he leaned down, the more I backed my head away.
"How do you know if I will come tomorrow?" I asked.
"I'll keep on visiting and barging in. Maybe I'll come to your room at the night." He suggested, scaring me a bit from his choice of words. "I might as well fight for your love if your fiancé isn't back…or is dead already." He whispered in my ear. "Then I'll claim that you're pregnant with my child."
I slapped him of the cheek. SLAP! Meyrin heard the loud skin slap. How I slapped so hard on his cheek made me feel satisfied. "He would kill you personally!" I hissed in his face. "You won't know who you're dealing with if you're going to fight my fiancé!" Sebastian is a demon so he'll win no matter what happens to me.
He soothed the red area with his large hand. "I won't have to unless you come by tomorrow. Well, I should be leaving now. I'll see you tomorrow." He waved but before he could go, I wanted to do something to him.
"Wait! You forgot this!" He turned around and I punched him square in the face as he grabbed his nose, then staring up at me in anger.
"You play hard to get it see…" he chuckled madly, smiling even though it hurt. He stumbled off to his carriage as I watched him from afar.
I left out a deep breathe. "I'm so glad that he's gone. He deserved that punch and slap for talking about Sebastian."
"I am too. I'm glad that you hit that man! How rude he was to me and you! I thought I'd have to use force on him…" Meyrin sighed, pushing up her glasses. "I was going to bring up a gun to his face, threatening him to leave."
"A gun? Well you can do that any time really. Pull the gun to his face and scare him away from my sight. I want some hot water."
"On your way!"
We both walked back inside the servant's lounge behind the kitchen room. "I heard that the Lance dude came inside the Manor." Bardo puffed out a ring of smoke inside his mouth.
"Don't smoke in here!" I swatted the air. The smell of burning cigarette is unpleasant since I have a heighten sense of smell.
"Sorry. Forgot that you're pregnant." He stood up to put out his cigarette. Then he came back sitting down at his seat.
"But you guys… I PUNCH LANCE GREYSTON!" I yelled out, pumping my fists in the air. I felt so proud of myself.
"WHATTTT?!" Bardo and Finny's voice rose in shocked. It was a new thing to their ear.
"When he left, of course. He was getting on my nerves that I had too. Plus he talked about Sebastian and how he's going to win my love, claiming too much that he left his feet behind." I pushed my hair back. "But I'm going to his estate tomorrow…" I sighed out loud.
"Why?" Finny asked, coming near me to comfort me.
"Because he'll keep on bothering us by coming here. And if I don't him going to 'win my love by fighting Sebastian'. And I don't want to be bothering Sebastian by sending him a letter saying I need your help because there's this nobleman who wants to claim that I'm his not yours. I bet Sebastian is already doing a lot with the young master right now." I grabbed the hot water that Meyrin set out for me and drank it.
"Don't get fooled by that man. Good luck." Bardo said, getting up to leave.
"Have your guards up and outsmart the man." Finny smiled at me, leaving as well.
"Meyrin, since they're leave, I'm going to retire in my room." I left as well.
