I frown and look out the window not wanting to continue with the conversation. He sighs and looks away as we continue back to the mansion. The moment the carriage stops I shoot out and run up the stairs. I didn't bother with anything else and slammed my door. I sat on the bed frustrated. I closed my eyes and laid back falling asleep.

2 hours later

I heard a knock on the door and opened my eyes. "Who is it?" I ask and hear a soft reply. "It's ciel" he says being careful of his tone knowing I'm probably still upset. I sigh and give a soft "come in."

I look up at him with sad eyes "I'm sorry I blew up on you. I've just never had people Care about me or compliment me or care what so ever" I sat and sit up. He nods "it's understandable" he says trying not to be weird.

"Why do you care so much?" I ask standing up. He looks away "because your a part of this house now" he says seriously but I could see something in his eyes that says something different but I didn't bother to call him out on it.

" We're having guests today so I need you to bake some sweets" he says, I sigh and nod before putting on a matching apron. i fix my hair quickly and walk out of the room not looking back at ciel. we walk down stairs together before parting ways i walk into the kitchen and immerse myself in my baking. Sebastian comes in seeing two cakes one German chocolate and the other an angel cake with vanilla frosting.

he smirks at the irony before taking the cakes and putting them on the cart. "the young master would like for you too takes these as i have other matters to attend to and the others will ruin your work." he states and i nod cleaning myself off before heading to the dinning hall.

i walk into the hall pushing the trolley. i see two men with white hair sitting with ciel. they are wearing matching white butler suits with a few moderate changes to each, one had shaggy silver hair while the others has hair down to his chin except at the base of his neck which went down to his hips. they both have silver eyes and swords attached to there hips, anyone could easily affiliate them as officers.

they looked at me suspiciously as i looked down stopping at the table. "sorry for the interruption young master. " i bow and put the tray with the sweets on the table and take off the lid revealing a cake with white frosting and strawberries decorating the top. "today i have made strawberry shortcake with jasmine tea" i state before bowing and walking towards the door before ciel tells me to stop. i turn around to look at him "i haven't dismissed you yet" he says and i sigh quietly and walk back over . " i apologize" i bow "was there something else you needed, young master?" i say monotone with a fake smile on my face.

the two in the suits looked at me the more girly one says "you know someone as pretty as you shouldn't fake a smile its unbecoming of you" i frown at that and giggle. "force of habit the man who kept me captive for a couple of years hated it when i wasn't smiling so even when i don't want to i smile." i say and his mouth falls open. "minzy!" ciel says seriously and a little angry at my rude behavior. "i'm sorry, truly" i look down shaking a little. "i feel like iv'e seen you before" i one with the shorter hair says." i look up at him " chamomile tea with a chocolate chip muffin?" i say casually and he nods "so that's where" the other two look at me confused. "he was a usual at the bakery. he always asked for the same thing every time" i says and ciel nods. "oh i see" was his response .

the other man dressed in white looked at his partner "you never told me you went to a bakery?" he says and he looks back and says "what i do in my spare time is none of your business Charles" he says and the man now known as Charles frowns. "so when did you start working for the phantomhives?" he asks me and i respond "just a few days ago he came to the bakery and offered me a job" i look at ciel before looking back at the man "i never did get your name?" i say and he responds " Charles Phipps. you can just call me Phipps." i look at him questioningly "so your both named Charles?" i ask and he nods " i'm Charles Phipps, hes Charles grey"

i nod in understanding before picking up a knife grey looks at me with suspicion but i roll my eyes and cut the cake into eight handing them each a piece five pieces remaining. i then pour the tea as they all take a bite. grey's eyes widen at the taste " its amazing" he says as i smile a real smile "thank you" i say as ciel then gives me my dismissal. i leave the room and head to the kitchen as i wait for them to be done. i grab two muffins and put them in a cloth. just as i finished ciel and the double Charles walk into the kitchen. "thank you for the pastries" they say together and i smile. "it was my pleasure' i say and hand them the cloth with the muffins. they nod and take there leave leaving me in the kitchen with ciel

"so do you like him or something?' he asks and i look at him with an are you serious face. "not the way you think, he was one of the few who would come in and treat me kindly that's all. but i don't see why it matters." i say and walk past him. "get back here" he says but i keep walking. he walks after me and grabs my arm. "let me go please'' i says without looking back. "not until you tell me what your problem is" i finally look at him "your my problem, i cant stand you. stop acting like you care when i know you don't, i hate false hope. i'm ugly and tainted and i don't know how to act. i freak out when someones nice but cant stand people who act all high and mighty so stop. just leave me alone!" i say before shouting at the end. " i'm sorry" he says quietly and my eyes widen

"i don't mean to act the way i do it just happens, i feel like if i don't i wont be able to go on and get my vengeance. i need to act strong so i can be strong and you fuck up my routine and it bothers me but i enjoy your company." i look at him shocked but my face softens. " if you need help let me know i'm a lot more useful then just baking, my family has a lot more secrets then you think. i walk off then and head back to my room.
