The bonsai trees lined the perfect lawn in the wooden boxes and there was a pond as large as a small lake with flowering lily pads and a wooden bridge that crossed the middle.

In the center of the garden, I saw Master Minghao who is sitting at an antique bench; drinking some green tea on a tea cup with sophisticated designs. The way he holds it was gentle, astonishing and elegant. Yes,  his actions showed that he is the 2nd son of Shizumi (one of the greatest company), and I am really honored to work for their family even that I am only a mere maid.

Holding the red scarf, which I worked all night, I peeked at him behind the round green bushes. He is looking at the sky and I knew that I did my best not to make any sounds enough that he won't know someone is secretly staring at him.

My leg is already cramping and I cannot hold back the cold winds blew from the west. "Haaa, how can I give this to him?" I sighed.

"Come out," he said.

My ears turned big as well as my eyes. I heard him saying something and I guessed it was for me. Really?! Left. Right. Left. Right. I tilted my head to checked. But there was no one around besides Master and me!

My heart is pounding so hard as I grip the scarf in my hands.

"You kept on looking at me. If you need something, come out from that bushes. You are so visible, pfffttt," he chuckled then set his eyes on me.

I quickly stood up!

"M-Master Minghao, good morning!" I managed to greet and then bowed at him.

He took another sip on his tea cup and watching him made me gulped. After that, he put the cup above the table beside the tea pot.

He gawked at me and asked "So, what do you want?"

Master Minghao helped me yesterday from his brother, Wen Junhui. I still remember how scared I was when his brother almost rape me inside his room! But Minghao came in, just like a knight saving me from the darkness; his eyes, his nose, the way he move his lips it looks different. He is special. I am assure of that. But in my eyes, he is more special than any other eyes in the world.

I watched my feet takes steps across the grass. It took 10 steps to reach him and I stopped. Biting my lower lip, I gathered my courage to look back, hell... he is peering his eyes on me! I don't know what to do with my crazy heart beating so loud inside my chest! "Ahmmmmm, ahmmmm, a-ahhhmmmm, a-ahmmmmm..." I muttered like an idiot.

Where am I? Who am I talking with? What am I doing? I DON'T KNOW! His presence made my mind blank!

"Don't be nervous," he whispered before he let out a smile I rarely see.

Now, my mind is at peace.

"I want to thank you Master for saving me yesterday. H-Here is a red scarf! I made it for you. I know you only wear expensive clothes and things but I will assure that scarf made with full love and---"

What did I say again?

"F-Full l-love?" He asked, blinking his round eyes.

Damn me!

"I m-mean! Full of warm. I hope you'll like it!" I almost shout.

He gets the scarf from my hands while I am shaking and as cold as ice. Idiot idiot idiot idiot! Master might be mad at me!

"I will use this," he said that made me stopped.

In 2 seconds, my face is expressionless with no sign of feelings. But when he smiled- smiling as if something good were about to happen, the world falls through my feet.

"I love warm things," he added before he wear the scarfs around his neck and sniff it scents. "I love this, thank you."

He might be a prince.

A prince in my dreams.

A prince I wish to come in my life a create a novel-like romantic story.

I fell- deeply in his eyes, his smiles, his tone, everything! He is so good to be true and I can't take my eyes off him. Some unheard music plays in my head, it was ticklish and comforting. And I am 100%- no! 200% sure I am currently blushing for Pete's sake!

"Oh? Your cheeks are red, I guess it was warm too, right?" he pointed my cheeks.

How will I respond?!

An awkward smile came out from my lips. That's all. Okay, okay okay, I know I am stupid!

"S-Sorry. My cheeks are?" I looked away.

"Hmmm," he mumbled.

Then, I never expect the next thing he did.

HE CUPPED MY CHEEKS AND LET ME FACES HIM!

"Your cheeks are warm," he said, under-tone.

My eyes widen as I stare at him, confuse and out of breathe.

"I love warm people, just like mom," he added. He slightly pinched my cheeks before he pulled back and stood up.

I freeze at the moment. WHAT THE HELL JUST HAPPENED? DID MY MASTER JUST HOLDS MY CHEEKS?!

He turned around and started to walk. "See you later," he waved goodbye.

As I watch him leave, someone snapped out of me.

"Hey! What are you doing there?"

I looked at my side and saw a girl. Who is she again? Ahhhh, Mady, the other maid inside this mansion.

"N-Nothing," I answered.

"Good. Now take this and go to the pool," she commanded and put a bathrobe in my hands.

"W-Why?" I asked.

"Master Wen Junhui is at the swimming pool. He forgot to take his bathrobe, and Ms. Evil devil Kim---"

"Yah! Shssh," I tapped her shoulder really hard.

"Ahhh!" she winced in pain. "Why? Miss Kim is really a devil."

"Lower your voice. She is still our head butler."

"Hmp, anyway, take that bathrobe to Master Junhui before PRETTY ANGEL MISS KIM will turn mad. Okay? Aha! I think... yeah, he just finished. So goodluck, bye!"

Then she ran away.

Yeah.

Yeah.

She was right.

Good luck to me.

I will meet my other master again, the one who almost rape me yesterday- Master Wen Junhui.

Argh!
