Chapter 13

Mark POV

As soon I entered the house I was amazed by the sight of it. There were some pictures frame that displayed on the wall. I slowly walk roam my eyes across the room.

The house wasn't small nor big but the size were enough for them to stay. Inside of the house was clean and neat.Even thou the color of the walls was already fade. I walk forward to see clearly those pictures. And it was Mandy and her sister. She however, wasn't look like her sister though,Mandy has a dark curly hair and small eyes She had that kind of asian features and she reminds me of those Asian models. While,her sister has big round eyes and blonde hair. They look both beautiful.

I move my head to the right side to see those another picture. In this picture she's standing beside of the woman. She look young perhaps,in teenage age. And the woman look like she's in early thirties. Yet,I narrowed my eyes when I study at their faces. Hold on,Mandy and that woman are look a like. I'm pretty sure it was her mother.

"Sis,Mark glad you're here." A deep voice suddenly spoke, causing me to turn around. It was Mr.Phyne.

"Hi,good morning Mr.Phyne,"I smile politely.

"Happy to see you,Come let's talk in the living room." He smiles and I nodded.

At once we walk quietly in the living room.

"Take a sit,Sir Markus, Anyway what do you like, coffee,tea or juice. I'll get some."

"Don't bother Mr.Phyne, I'm fine."I said,

"So tell me Sir,do you like the whole place." He said giving me a friendly smile.

I appreciate this man, He's really good person though.He never treat me good since the first time I went here. That make me feel, Although it didn't surprised me that everyone treat me good. But this man is different though. He treat me as person not a high class man.

"So,how's your first day here?" He asks while taking a sip of coffee.

"Well,it's fine,Mr.Phyne, I'll just get bored at the rest of the hours.But this place is better than before."

"Don't worry Markus,when you finally familiarize every corner of this place. You'll discover new beautiful places,Or better, just join me,I go for fishing every weekend. Sure you'll enjoy it." He said,

"Sure, that's great idea Mr.Phyne, I would love to see new places." I grin,

"Welp, beside of beautiful places,there were several beautiful girls here.you know," he grin,taking another sip of coffee.

That make somehow,a small smile drawed to my face.

"I would love to see new places,But girls give such a huge headache,I need to skip for while." I grin,

"Because, girls will be girl's. They are the real boss,"

And we both laugh.

We spent the rest of the hours but talking,He asked me about the papers then I finally signed up for the deal. We also discussed about his fatherhood,on how he deal his two daughters; We only talk for an hour's yet,we already shared some personal secrets like my problem about my old life. Thankfully,he gave me some advice that makes my relief.

After that we talked about random stuff, He's really good person thou. He was about to throw another jokes,when Mandy suddenly appeared.

She slam shot the door, so we both turn on her. I couldn't help to stare at her. She's only wearing:large black shirt macth with faded jeans,not bothering her messy her. Yet,it surprised me that I found her beautiful in that way.

I think,she hadn't noticed us so she kept on murmuring.

"Stupid people who refused their dept's!"

Then she remove her shoes.

"She has a bad temper,", he chuckle,

"I see," I whisper,

Then he turn to her.

"How your day sweetie?" He asks,

"As usual,they refused to pay again. Then why the hell they ordering,if they don't want to pay. Stupid greedy ass,I wish that cakes will stuck into their throats that cause then to death!" She growl as she throw her arms in the air. She's frustrated.

Damn, she's so scary and her word shooting me. Like an needle, I'd never seen that kind of girl before, It occurred to me. That girl appeared to be:sweet, and gentle. Yet,this girl is different matter thou, she is reckless and abandon. Therefore,it fascinated me a lot.

"Don't think too much, sweetie.By the way Markus is here,you can join him." He remark,

This time she froze for a while,Once she heard my name. I think she got shock about my presence.

Then she turned her head,she look shock and pissed at the same time. I know she's still mad at me. At the fact,our first encountered was terrible.

I tried to smile at her,yet she didn't smile back. Somehow,I felt like my heart, pinch. Although,this is big deal to me.

"Dad I thought you can handle it," she protest as she place her both hands on her hips.

Why does she look cute when she act like a boss?

"Sweetie,you know I have some sort of work.And Markus will live here, he's still adjusting his self. He came from boisterous weatlhy life,and he wants to learn new things."

"Like what? She spat,

Then he gaze at me.

"Like cooking or any sort of work Mr.Phyne,"I whisper,

"Like how to cook, just teach him simple things or you can show him the bake shop you'll see what he can do." He stated.

Yet,she just gave a questionable look. Unsatisfied from what she heard. However, before she could finally protest. Andrew rose from his seat.

"Alright, sweetie,I still have my work I really need to go, Mandy I know you can handle it,Don't worry Markus is good man. I'll be back afterwards,take care love you honey." He said giving a quick kiss to her cheeks then he grab his things and rush to walk towards the door,Until he finally fade into our sights.

Now, it's only me and her.

I felt like my confidence has been gradually fade,this is my first time to feel this way. Although since I became popular I gain too much of confidence. But when it comes to her. It felt different. Having her presence,feels like I was persecuted by everyone Nor I'm a suspect in crime. That I cannot even speak nor,show my face to her. I need to be careful in every thing that I do.

I tried to speak yet nothing came out. Then she turn to me.

"Do,what do you want to learn?" She began,and there was unfriendly tone to her voice.

"Just like what your dad said," I simply said.

She however,began to burst into laugh, That kind of laugh, when you don't have any problem. A careless and careful laugh, she didn't mind if that sounds good or not. But she still laughing,not like those girls I've met before. They used to fake their laugh just to appear good and high class. Yet,this lady is totally different from them.

I couldn't help but refer her from others,maybe because I found her fascinated. Unfortunately,the way she laugh make me feel embarrassed. Thou no one had ever mock me before.

"What so funny?" I ask curiously.

When she finally recovered from her laugh she glance at me. Damn,it affects me.

"That's so creep."

"So,I said raising an eyebrow.

"Nothing," then she clap her hand.

"Alright let's get started," she pause then turned.

"Follow me Uptown man."
