For the last five years, this young master had buried himself in work and never attended any of the matchmaking sessions organised by the old master. The butler smiled and waited for them to go in first.
Aaron Saint opened the door and walked in with Mai by his side. As they walked near, Aaron Saint could hear the laughter of the old master and the voices of Liyah Myers and Josh Saint.
Josh Saint heard the footsteps and looked up and saw Aaron Saint, his anticipation rose as he tried to see the girl behind Aaron Saint. Josh Saint had intentionally co to the family mansion after hearing that Aaron Saint was coming with August Maijune. He wanted to make sure Lorca was telling the truth and also test the girl to find out if she rembered him.
On the other hand, Liyah Myers frowned after seeing Aaron Saint's hand laced with Mai. She glared at Mai and quickly looked away with a smile at Aaron Saint saying ''Aaron, you're here? I almost thought you were not coming? Grandpa told us to wait because you were coming. Josh Saint and I had no idea we would et you here, what a pleasant surprise"
Josh Saint put his arm on Liyah's shoulder intimately and also added his piece ''yes, Liyah is right. We ca to visit grandpa and he told us you were coming?'' Josh looked at Mai curiously and asked ''who is this by the way?''
Mai looked at Josh Saint and frowned and asked ''Mr. Saint, shouldn't we at least sit before they start talking? Isn't it rude to start a conversation one-sidedly without giving us a break? I almost thought they were reciting a script"
The old master turned and looked at Mai and laughed heartedly and spoke ''you're a quirky one, aren't you? Co and sit down, child''.
Josh Saint and Liyah Myers forced a smile as they watch Mai sit by the old master. Aaron Saint took a seat at a single sofa far from Josh Saint and Liyah Myers and spoke to his grandfather.
':Grandpa, how is your health?''
''Oh, I'm doing well''. The old master looked at Mai and asked ''how are you doing little girl?''
''I'm happy''.
''Aaron must be treating you well?'' Liyah Myers said.
''Who is she, by the way?'' Josh Saint asked.
':You don't need to be concerned about her''. Aaron Saint replied.
The housekeeper walked to them and said sothing to the old master and he nodded his head and spoke ''dinner is ready, let's eat before we chat so more''
DINING TABLE.
The house helps served the various dishes and left after setting the table with the necessary cutlery and glassware they needed.
The old Master looked at the food and spoke to Mai ''kid, make sure you eat a lot. Anything you want, feel free to eat':.
''Thank you for the food, grandpa''.
Josh Saint watched Mai's every move interestingly. Not only did she not recognise him, she didn't even look like soone who could harm anyone. It seed really as Lorca said. The monster before him didn't even rember who he was, so he wasn't going to be in danger.
As Josh Saint thought about Mai, his smile broadened and his mood lifted up. He decided to poke the girl once in a while to make sure she was really suffering from amnesia.
Looking at her figure, she must have been taking good care of herself.
If only he could get a taste of her, he would be the happiest. Back then, he always had his eyes on her but because she was a monster, he didn't try anything funny for fear of getting killed. But, now that she has appeared before him looking so young and beautiful like a lamb, he couldn't resist the urge to have her all to himself.
Aaron Saint noticed the lustful way Josh looked at Mai and frowned. He could imagine the kind of thoughts Josh was having in his mind.
Aaron Saint deboned a fish and put the fillets into Mai's bowl of rice and added so marinated lobsters to it and said to her '"eat a lot of fish, you look so thin for your age''.
Mai smiled and took the fillets with her fork and turned to him ''I look okay, I'm young and pretty''.
''So, August Maijune, you are staying with my cousin?:' Josh Saint asked. Mai looked at him and responded.
''Yes, since he is responsible for ''.
''He is responsible for you? That's new. I didn't know Aaron could be responsible for anyone but himself. I guess is because he almost killed you, right?''
The table beca quiet and awkward. Mai looked at Josh Saint with a curious gaze and pretended to ask.
''I'm really curious about sothing. Do you have so much free ti on your hands, uncle?''
''What? Uncle?''
''Hm, you seem to be really interested in . You and this aunt here''. Mai chuckled sarcastically. ''Since I got here, grandpa didn't even ask who I was but you two seem to interested in my life. You said Mr. Saint almost killed ? Which eye of yours saw it?''
''What? This little bitch!!'' Josh Saint stood up angrily to hit Mai and Aaron Saint banged his cutlery on the table and spoke.
''Don't you dare touch what's mine!!!''.
Josh Saint paused midway and Liyah Myers pulled his hand down and he sat back.
The old master put his cutlery down and spoke.
''You two, let's talk in the study room
now''.
The old master stood up and walked towards the study and Aaron Saint and Josh Saint followed.
Liyah Myers put her cutlery down and glared at Mai saying ':you're really a sly fox. Did you have to make two brothers fight because of you? I don't know where you got your confidence from, but you should be careful. Don't think Aaron will protect you forever. The n in this family are not to be ssed with''.
Mai chuckled and put her cutlery down and stood up to go. ''Where do you think you are going?'' Liyah Myers asked. Mai turned and looked at her saying.
''Washroom, it looks like your speech is going to take longer so I should at least visit the washroom before I died of urinal paralysis''. Mai walked away to the butler and Liyah Myers followed her.
WASHROOM.
Mai finished her business and walked to the sink to wash her hands and Liyah Myers walked in.
Mai tore a tissue and cleaned her hands and turned to go and Liyah intentional dropped her red lipstick on the floor. She gestured at Mai and said ''hey, you, pick that up for ''.
Mai looked at the lipstick and smirked.
She picked the lipstick and looked at the label which read ''M856'' and smiled.
Liyah stretched her hand towards her for the lipstick ''give it to ''.
Mai stood in front of Liyah and said daringly ''take it if you can''.
Liyah Myers turned and looked at Mai unbelievably fuming with anger and spoke ''you've got to be kidding ?''
''Do I look like I amjoking? Take it from if you can!''
Mai looked at her coldly and Liyah Myers stepped back in fear and spoke ':you. What are you? Your eyes are not the sa''
Mai walked closer to her and she stepped back and hit the wall.
''People who have fear shouldn't be bad. You said I was ssing with two brothers? Right, you may see it that way, but, you know what? I don't ss with people unless they try to ss with . You are the one who ssed with first, how dare you try to lecture ? If you left one brother for the other, you should stay with him, why do you keep poking your nose into Mr. Saint's business? Are you that free? Tsk!! Stop being a joke, will you?''
Mai put the lipstick in the sink and went out. Liyah Myers heaved a sigh of relief and looked at the door fearfully.
She straightened her dress and looked at the mirror before going out.
anwhile at the study room, Josh Saint looked at their grandfather and exclaid ''let Aaron Saint manage Saint Hotel? Grandpa, I won't allow that''.
''You have damaged the reputation of the hotel, already?'' Aaron Saint said.
''That is none of your business. That hotel is my inheritance. Grandpa, take your words back''
''Josh, the revenue office almost sent as a subpoena because of tax invasion and illegal gambling operation in the hotel. When I gave the hotel to you, you promised to leave all those illicit businesses behind and manage the hotel genuinely.
All the long-ti staff are threatening to go on strike if you continue to be the CEO. I can't let you lose the hotel.
Go ahead and live the way you want; you still have access to everything you will need. Just use this ti to reflect on your mistakes''
