Just a small problem

"So you got hit by someone and spilled a drink on your shirt?" Eric asked, raising an eyebrow and crossing his arms across his chest. Demands Casey's explanation. They were currently in the mansion's library. As usual, Eric dragged his maid here and there. Eric's attitude looked annoyed, even though Casey didn't understand why her young master was so upset over such a trivial matter. The one who should be annoyed is Casey to Erica! Because of the woman's snake mouth, she had to be in the position of a suspect awaiting justice. Even though it's true. For Casey, she didn't even dare look at Eric's face for fear. He only answered with a nod.

"How could that be?"

"Hmm ... Because I wasn't paying attention to the road, it ended up crashing," Casey replied briefly but seriously.

"Is the drink cold?"

"Hot. I got hot chocolate."

Eric got up from his seat, making Casey gasp in surprise. The man looked at her with a worried look and was even more surprised when Eric gently grabbed her arm.

"Are you injured? You must be injured! In which part?" Eric asked repeatedly while examining Casey's body from the front, back, and even lifting Casey's hands up. Meanwhile, Casey was unable to regulate the rhythm of her heartbeat because Eric, who was now so close to her, even felt the man's breath, which made her brain lose focus too. Casey forcibly released Eric's grip, ripping away from her young master.

"N—no injuries at all, Master!"Casey said, while trying to keep her cheeks from getting redder.

Eric scowled sadly and pursed his lips. Casey wanted to swear even more, because the man in front of her was acting cute.

"Hey, why did you stay away? Do I stink?" Eric whined while sniffing his body, wary if it really smelled bad. Casey just looked at Eric with a 'seriously?' Of all the reasons, why does Eric suspect that he smells? That's very unlikely! When these masters came out of the room, the fragrance of their bodies would be smelled until the front gate of the mansion. Casey even suspected it looked like they were taking a perfume bath. That's it, their body smells are different, Casey has memorized it.

The point is, the reason is not because of the smell. Is Eric not aware that his charm will make women be amazed?

Casey shook her head quickly. "Not like that! You're too close!" her answer.

"Oh, I see." Eric nodded his head and smiled crookedly. Returned to his sitting position because he had understood Casey's spontaneous attitude. "So you really weren't hurt? Burns or something?"

"Not at all."

"In that case, thank God. Do I have to find the person to apologize to you?" Eric asked, making Casey gape in surprise. This small matter should be easy to forget, he was fine after all. It would be even worse if Eric really wanted to find the culprit, she couldn't even remember what that person looked like. Could it be that Eric could also insist on asking the FBI for help? Casey dispelled his crazy thoughts.

"Eric, that's an exaggeration. I don't remember who he was anyway," Casey replied, Eric's spirits dropping.

"Should I tell Noel and the others?"

Casey's eyes were perfectly rounded. Isn't Eric getting crazy? If Noel and the others found out, things could get even more troublesome. Casey really didn't understand why a small problem was made so big. Casey grabbed both of Eric's arms, they were now close again.

"You're not seriously going to tell them, aren't you? I'm totally fine. It's no big deal at all! After all, what will people say if they find out about i—"

"Okay-okay, I understand! You're too close now, Gwen ..." Eric whispered, holding the turmoil in his chest. There was a tinge of red that appeared on the man's cheeks, and it became more and more visible. Casey, who was aware of the situation now, slowly turned her face red like a tomato. The girl immediately backed away. Her movements were so clumsy that it looked like she was embarrassed.

"A—anyway, I beg only the two of us to know! I swear it's no big deal!" Casey exclaimed, looking down. She was still embarrassed to look at Eric. The man couldn't hold back the smile he had been holding in for so long, Eric bit his finger slowly as he looked at Casey with a gentle gaze. For some reason, he really liked Casey's behavior like this.

"So this is our secret?"

"Y—yea! Something like that."

"I'm so glad I have a secret that only the two of us know," Eric teased.

Casey didn't respond, she was busy controlling her heartbeat. Afraid of getting a sudden attack again, her life might only end here.

"I'm also glad you finally have a friend, she seems good."

Casey's face immediately turned flat. If she remember Erica, feelings of irritation always arise. And again, Eric was completely unaware that she could be sneaky at any moment. It was only a matter of time before Erica's request happened.

"Erica?" Eric asked again because Casey didn't get a response.

"Yeah, she's very nice," Casey replied with a sweet smile.

After ending the debate, they finally study together in the library. Busy with their respective tasks, Casey occasionally asks Eric because of course Eric has more knowledge than she does.

"Hello guys!" said Gabriel entering the library with his favorite vanilla milkshake. He wasn't alone, Luke followed behind him.

Gee!

Casey felt the atmosphere of the room getting fuller, and scary because Luke was here.

"Ah, why are you guys here? Go! Hush, hush, you guys are distracting us!"Eric waved his hand at his two brothers intending to drive them away.

"Good evening Mr. Gabriel, and Mr. Luke," Casey greeted pleasantly.

"Hello, Gwen! Look, Gwen just isn't bothered!" Gabriel said not wanting to lose. Eric just snorted.

"You guys so noisy, we won't be here long either. Where's the book you wanted, Gab?" Luke asked as he walked over to the neatly lined books on the cupboard. Gabriel walked briskly leading Luke, tthen pointed to a storybook with a cover with two brown bears on the cover. Luke took the book because it was too high up and Gabriel couldn't reach it. Eric who couldn't focus on his task because his two brothers came, and finally noticed their movements, then laughed mockingly.

"You definitely want to be read a fairy tale again before going to sleep. What a child!" sneered Eric, bursting into laughter. Gabriel glared at him in annoyance, his face flushed between emotion and embarrassment. The reason is that since childhood Gabriel always asked Luke to read a story when he was having trouble sleeping. Only Luke can help him. Sometimes if Luke couldn't come home to the mansion because of a job shoot, Luke was always on guard recording his voice while reading a story. So if Gabriel's insomnia recurs at any time, his little brother can hear the voice recording until he can drift off to a dream world.

"Shut up! I didn't ask you to read! Your voice is bad, it doesn't let me sleep," Gabriel said. Eric choked on his own saliva because of the insult from his brother.

"Tch! I also don't want to read to a spoiled child like you!"

"Stop fighting, I'm tired," Luke whispered, not in the mood for his two brothers. Luke dragged Gabriel out of the library to the room. Eric gave Gabriel his middle finger, and his younger brother did the same while sticking out his tongue. Casey couldn't help but smile at his master's fight. It an entertainment when life is bitter. Although sometimes it almost makes his head explode.
