I'm Me Because of You

Opposite Minds

"Lady Sheba? Lady Sheba? Lady Sheba?!"

"I'm awake!" The pink haired girl blurted out as she sat up on her bed and slowly opened her eyes. It took some time for her to be fully awaken, then she looked at the one who woke her up.

"Who are you?" The girl said rudely with a raised brow. She couldn't care less on how the person would feel, all she wanted to know was why Sambel wasn't the one waking her up.

"U-uh... L-lady Sheba I worked here as a maid for th-three years now..." The maid was hurt of course! Three years working for her but her master couldn't even recognize her, not to mention just her face.

"Oh. Well then, what's your name?" Asked the pink haired lady. She was not at guilt. I mean, why would she. At least that's the mindset of Sheba.

"M-my name is A-alona." The young maid introduced herself

"Stop stuttering will you. It's making me feel annoyed. And is something wrong with your neck? Raise your head." Sheba wasn't scolding nor was she saying words of encouragement or comfort. The maid did exactly what Sheba said and left.

"How troublesome. Where is Sambel anyway?" Sheba murmured then she left and took a shower then changed to her formal attire, ready to go to work.

Sheba arrived at the dining room where a lot of food were served but only one plate was there. The maid named Alona was there too. It seems she would be serving the young miss now. Sheba sat down and looked around her. She stared at the food and sighed. She grabbed the fork and knife when Alona started pouring water to her cup.

"Are you hungry?" Sheba suddenly asked which made the maid nervous. "P-pardon?" She asked with wide eyes refusing to believe what she heard. "N-no my lady! I am..." But before she could finish her statement her stomach grumbled. The maid blushed in embarrassment and backed away.

Sheba rolled her eyes and gestured another staff to bring in a set of utensils and a plate. They did as she asked.

"Sit. Eat" Sheba said with a serious tone which made it hard for the maid to say no. She kept her head down though.

Sheba started eating when a familiar voice spoke from behind. "Ah, lady Sheba! I see you have a..." The owner of the voice stopped when she realized that it wasn't a guest who was with Sheba, it was a maid.

The maid jumped off of the chair and bowed her head. "Miss Sambel..."

Sheba did not turn her head and continued eating. Sambel nodded at  the maid, telling her that she'll take it from here. Sambel sat where the maid sat previously. She took the fork and ate a piece of meat. "This is delicious"

"How impudent" Sheba said, still not looking at the newly arrived lady. "You came in late and sat there, just eating".

Sambel ignored what Sheba said. Instead, she asked her "I never would have thought you'd be allowing someone to eat with you, Lady Sheba"

"I was bored". Sheba looked at her companion. "I had to compromise. You weren't here after all". Sheba said with a smile on her face in which Sambel raised her brow.

Sambel has been with Sheba ever since childhood and she knew how Sheba was and right now, even if she knew Sheba's attitude, she wasn't pleased.

"I thought you actually cared." That maid haven't eaten since this morning because she was excited to serve you. But, all you did was hurt her feelings.

Sheba rolled her eyes once more. She hated hearing about those dramas. She couldn't care less. "Whatever. Update me how the business is going". Sheba stood up and Sambel followed her.

Sheba is the owner of the business called Ophir. They produce one of a kind jewelries usually made of pure gold and other rare stones. Her parents started this business but when Sheba was just two years old, her parents died. She grew up with maids by her side and a friend of hers, Sambel, who is currently her assistant.

On the other side of the world was a young man who had recently started his own company but in just three years, he made it very successful.

"Hey! Hey! Long time no see!" A man with white long hair and a muscular figure said as he approached some of his comrades. His name is Wahid.

"That was the most difficult man I ever dealt with yet aru! He's like, so stubborn aru". A lady with orange hair done with two loops on her side said. She entered the room just after the white haired man. This young lady's name is Falan

"You too? Well that makes the two of us. I even had to go on a date with that CEO just so she would agree to partner with us!" A  green haired man said with the name Ithnan.

"You didn't have to date her brother. It's not like we desperately needed them" A man with purple hair said as he approached his brother. He is Setta

"He's right Ithnan. Solomon told you that already". Ugo, a tall man with light blue hair said.

"Hahaha. Welcome back everyone." A tall woman entered the room who had brown long hair that almost touched the ground done in two thick braids said.

They were all talking with one another when a familiar figure entered the room. He had long blue hair complemented by his eyes as well. "Welcome back everyone. I received the news of your success. You did a great job." Solomon congratulated his friends. They all laughed together, catching up with the things that they had missed since they went to different places to deal with some business matters.

They were about to go home that afternoon when Arba stopped them. "It seems like you forgot so let me remind you again..."

"What is it aru?"

"Today's the day we said we'd visit the hospital" Arba stated while looking at her schedule list.

"Then let's go!" Ugo said as he entered their service. Arba was seated in front and the rest of them, at the back.

They arrived at the hospital and they were greeted with many doctors and even the owner of the hospital. Though being private, it's like a public hospital since patients are not required to pay for some medications.

All of Solomon's companions went to visit the patients and gave them gifts while Solomon talked with the owner. "We're deeply indebted to you master Solomon! Thank you very much! If only there's a way we could repay you" The man said to Solomon.

"Please, don't call me 'master', and the only thing I ask for return is the good health of everyone who comes here". Solomon replied

"You are so kind Solomon. I really hope many people like you and your friends still exist."
