Spending A Day Without You

Chad looked at her speechlessly. He knew Rachel wants to help in the kitchen, but he does not want her to get hurt. He quickly walked over and hugged her tightly. "Okay, okay. I won't stop you anymore, but I don't want you to hurt yourself. Doing all this heavy work is stressful"

Rachel pulled away from him. "Heavy work? Stressful?" she gave him a confused look.

Seriously, this Chad did not know the meaning of stressful work.

"Staying under the sun, working in the farm and doing house chores, which one is stressful?" Rachel asked Chad as she looked into his eyes.

Chad looked at her speechlessly. After a long silence, he said, "Okay, okay. Do whatever you want. I won't stop you again"

He really did not know how to answer her. He turned her around slowly and helped her remove the apron, then he hung it over the door. He held her hand, pulled her closer and walked out of the kitchen.

After they left, the cook let out a sigh of relief. She has been watching the cute lovebirds and has forgotten that she was still cooking. Not until the food let out a sound did she remember that she was cooking.

In Chad's room.

Rachel stood on the balcony, watching the city below. She was standing still, one hand on her hips and the other on the railings. The breeze blew her soft, fuzzy hair up. Just then, she felt a strong arm wrapped around her waist and a body lean against her.

"I see you like this place. Why don't you move your things to this place?" Chad asked.

Rachel did not respond.

"What do you think?" Chad asked in a low, calm voice and rested his chin on her head.

Rachel lowered her eyes to look at Chad's arm wrapped around her small waist and smiled, "Why should I move into your room. I don't want to" she said.

His fingers slid slowly over to her shoulder, so thorough and tender. With his fingers placed next to her neck, he bent down slowly, and whispered into her ear, "Spending a day without you makes me feel like I had lived an entire year without water" he lean into her so that his lips were pressed to her ear.His chin seemed to graze the skin between her neck and shoulder.

Rachel froze and her face turned red. She was unsure if she was nervous or fearful, but she began to tremble. "What... What... Do you want?

Chad smiled, "Of course, I want..." he planted a kiss on her neck gently. "You" he slid his hand down over her stomach and his lips closing around her earlobe.

"Chad, let me go and check if dinner is ready" she said, pulled away from him and turned to leave.

Just then, a strong hand shot out and grasped her arm. Chad chuckled softly and tugged her close. "Are you trying to run away from me?" he asked.

Rachel's heart began to beat very fast and her face became red as a tomato. Chad turned her around, so she could face him. He put one arm around her waist and the other hand on her face. He stared at her plump lips that were glistening in the light and his fingertips gently brushed across her lips. He bent his head slightly to the left and...

Suddenly, the door pushed open and a butler came in. Without looking up, he said, "Young master, it's time for dinner" then he raised his head to look at his master with a smile on his face. His smile disappeared when he saw Chad's cold eyes staring at him.

Rachel immediately pull away from him and coughed awkwardly. She felt embarrassed, but she could still feel the warmth of his body.

"Were you not taught how to knock before entering someone's room?" Chad's eyes go from passionate and warm to cold as ice.

What was the butler thinking of? Why did he forget to knock at this time?

The butler began to shutter, "Y- Y- young master, it's time for dinner" he lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Chad's face again.

"You have worked here for nearly ten years. I think it's time we get another butler"

The butler raised his head and his eyes grew wide. Chad has the right to fire anybody in the mansion too. Rachel looked at the trembling butler and pitied him. Whenever Chad is with her, he is always calm and gentle, but whenever he is with other people, he is another person entirely.

Rachel held his hand and said calmly, "Don't be like that. You look horrible when you are angry. Don't you know?"

When Chad heard her voice, he turned his head to look at her. He was still as cold as ice and still had that awful look. Rachel smiled at him and his expression softened and his eyes became warm again. He understood what she meant. He turned his head to look at the butler. "Get out!"

The man quickly ran out of the room. This Chad can be so scary sometimes. After the butler left, Rachel dragged him out of the room. Still holding her hand in his, he walked Rachel down the stairs to the dinning room.

When they got to the dining room, Chad drew out a chair for Rachel to sit. Rachel sat down, looked up at him and smiled. Chad smiled back at her and sat down. He picked up Rachel's plate,served her vegan chicken, then he served himself.

While eating, Rachel felt a hand on the soft skin of her exposed thigh. She lowered her head and to her surprise, Chad's hand was on her thigh under the table. Rachel blanked out completely, and her body stiffened. She turned her head to look at the man sitting beside her. He was eating his food heartily and pretending as if he was doing nothing.

Then, his warm hand began to move up and down on her thigh.

What exactly was he doing?

Rachel immediately tilted her body and let out a scream. "Ouch..."

Mr Torres asked in surprise, "What happened?"

Rachel's face turned red immediately. She smiled and said, "It's actually a rat"

Mr Torres opened his eyes wide. "A rat?" he was surprised.

How can a rat enter the mansion?

"Rachel said, "Yes. A rat. A very big rat"

Chad raised his eyebrow slightly. "Really? A rat?" he was actually acting like nothing is happening.

Rachel turned her head to look at him. "Yes. I didn't expect that there will be a very big rat in this mansion"

However, she felt again, his palm on her thigh. He was slowly caressing her. Rachel felt her body slowly becoming hot and her face reddened.

"Ah, Chad!" she screamed.

She has totally forgotten that there were still other people in the dining room. The others looked at the both of them and wondered what was going on.

Chad turned his head to look at her and wore a poker face. "What? Is the rat still bothering you? Okay, we will takle the problem. No rats will bother you anymore"

Rachel gave him a dirty look. She felt like punching him immediately. Chad reached out his hand and patted her head slowly. "Your food will get cold and you won't enjoy it if it is cold, so eat it when it is still hot. Go on. Keep eating" he smiled. He was really enjoying provoking this girl.
