*sigh* I'm so done with you'' Leo spoke

As soon as those words left his mouth ximen felt a wave of sadness wash over him 'of course he hates me, I was responsible for his father being angry at him'

''I understand young master, I'm extremely sorry'' ximen apologized once again

Leo was just confused 'how did he understand that I didn't want him to apologize and call me 'young master? I didn't even say it ... wait a min.. Don't tell me'

''ximen.. Just what did you think I meant?'' Leo asked doubtfully

''it is obvious that young master would be angry at this servant as he was the cause for everything'' ximen replied which made Leo wanted to laugh, seeing the little one with a weird face ximen couldn't help but ask'' are you alright young master?'' and that was it, the emotionless guy for the first time busted into a fit of laughter which made ximen stare at the stare at the little one who was laughing his ass off 'cute' ximen thought, after a while when Leo got hold of his breath he spoke

''ximen t-that is n-not what I meant'' Leo spoke nearly out of breath which made the older one confused '' what do you mean youn-'' his words where cut off by Leo

''STOP!" he nearly shouted that the butler went silent ''That is what I was taking about '' he spoke to the butler who just replied with a frown

''I want you to stop calling me young master, and please stop apologizing its uncomfortable'' Leo explained which made the butler just shake his head in disapproval ''no no young master it is my duty to call you as the young master and I feel that it's my responsibility to apologize after what had happened'' ximen spoke with the utmost politeness which gave Leo no other choice than to blackmail him

''do you want this job?'' Leo asked making ximen nervous ''yes I do young master'' came the reply

''then you should stop treating me as your master and stop apologizing for such trivial things'' Leo spoke with a smug look inside but outside with that plain emotionless face

Ximen was hesitant but still went with the order '' yes you-I mean L-Leo''

''good'' Leo said as he started walking again and went to thank him as he had to '' thank you ximen''

The said person was once again in the state of confusion he was sure that he must have been confused about everything this day than he had in his entire life '' for what Leo?'' ximen asked to clear his confusion

''first of for coming over at the perfect time and secondly for worrying about me'' Leo answered

''I-I was n-not w-worried about you at all'' ximen spoke as he tried to surpress the blush coming on his face and afterwards asked "what about the first one? I came over at the perfect time?''

"Yes, if you hadn't come at that time I would have had to eat that food" Leo replied

"Why? Does Leo not like the dish?'' ximen asked not able to hide his curiosity

"I am allergic to it" Leo replied bluntly which made the elder one stop at his tracks again "what do you mean?" the elder one asked

"you must have noticed me looking at the dish when you came, I was debating as to if I should eat or not, my father prepared that dish knowing I was allergic to it and wanted me to have it, even the chef were not aware of it, so if you hadn't come to me at that time I would have had to eat that and suffer from the reaction" Leo replied

Ximen was beyond surprised 'how could they do that to this little one?' was the thought that went through his mind as he caught up with Leo who was heading to the garden
