CHAPTER 32

　　Zenith's Point Of View

　　I'm done eating. I ate too much, hayst! The food we ate was put away, I leveled your plates as I saw our slaves do before and then took you all to the sink. I'm not sure about washing dishes but I'll just soap and rinse.

　　Okay, I'm going to wash it in exchange for him cooking food for me.

　　*brruupppp!*

　　Suddenly I gasped so loud that even I didn’t expect it because it spontaneously came out of my mouth. It would be nice if we could tour the whole place so that I can get to know the ins and outs here, maybe I can find some secret routes or places that can give me a clue about Genesis. I haven't seen them for days even with Four Eyes I don't show up, I still can't face her right now after what happened. She knows the truth.

　　There is really someone inside my body and I don’t know who that is. I've tried to stop whoever it was but I lost, he will prevail everytime I lose myself. Maybe when Grandpa found out, he would send me home immediately and not finish my mission to find out who killed my parents.

　　All I can do is calm myself now so that I will never hear the voice of what is inside me again. Until I know what really happened when they died papa, I can no longer lose myself lest my whole being be completely covered by what is inside me.

　　I could be the monster they say. This is probably my karma in the number of people I have killed just because of money and bring honor to our family. I immediately remembered when I was three years old when I started my covert work as a murderer, what trials and tribulations I did just to get to where I am today. This is my destiny …

　　"I'm done bathing. How about you, Zenith?" I heard Vior say from behind. I turned to him and saw that his hair was very wet but he was already dressed. "Yeah, I'm just washing it," I replied.

　　He tilted his head to see what I was doing. "Are you smart?"

　　I shook. "Look at me," he said once approaching me then chineck if I'm doing it right.

　　"Aish, you have no hope as a dish washer, Zenith. Stop that, I'm here, just take a bath and you haven't even scrubbed your dishes properly." so I'm wrong.

　　I let go of the sponge then washed my hands. As he said he took my place and continued what I was doing, every corner should be rubbed? I thought you would put soap on your equipment first and then spin your sponge. I just wiped my hand and left him there.

　　"I could have done that if I had just been taught, whatever it's okay," I grumbled when I finally entered my room. I got some clothes and then went straight to the bathroom to take a shower.

　　After a few minutes

　　I'm done fixing myself so I'm out, I'll just put my tubals in the laundry later. I caught up with Vior in the living room, he had also finished washing, he was just sitting quietly and seemed to be thinking.

　　Tsk. I don't know why when it comes to him, it's okay even if his actions are really annoying or irritating sometimes. I’m really wondering that to the point that I don’t even know myself anymore.

　　"Hey …" he turned to me in shock.

　　"Z-Zenith, have you been there before?" he asked, is there a problem?

　　Maybe he was just embarrassed because he thought I caught him an idiot.

　　"No, I just finished," I refuse.

　　"A-Ah, are you okay? Let's go?" he was obviously restless when he stood up and hugged me. Sometimes, its weird too much.

　　I just let it go. "Hmm, come on."

　　I had to walk out first because I might not be able to see him being so cute, psh. When I got out the door, I stopped and then turned to him. I can't take it.

　　"If we can't just move on? You look so uncomfortable and restless, what's your problem, huh?" He also stopped and looked at my face, wait, is he blushing?

　　"N-Nothing … No, don't mind me."

　　"What don't you mind me there? Eh you're so distracting, obviously you don't want to go around ah. You know what? It's okay, you'd better beat tomatoes like that, tss." I would have come back inside when he grabbed my arm to stop me. Hayst! Just be patient, Zenith.

　　"Why?" I will ask.

　　"Repeat what you said at the end. I just want to hear if that's it," I frowned at what he said. "Which one? The tss? What else?"

　　"You're getting rude too … hmm, I'm happy to be back with that Zenith I met," there I was stunned by what he said. Does he know my change?

　　"W-What do you mean?"

　　Now his face is back to normal and he still smiles at me. "I noticed that there was something strange about you last night, you've changed a lot. You even cut your hair and then the way you and Manong Pilot approached me is very unlikely at the Zenith that I met this past weeks. I'm just glad that You become true to yourself again because you don't have to change yourself to please others. Just be who you are, Zenith, I didn't mean that I don't like your slightly different self but I prefer it when it's cold. You're mine, rude, always irritated, even if you don't pay attention to me and don't care? That's okay. That's where I see you're strong and you can do it by yourself. "

　　With so much he said, I understood nothing. The only thing that sticks in my mind is that you're so cold then that's okay and the rest? Gone.

　　"What do you mean change? This is what I am back then when I had no knowledge of my family's work so nothing has changed in me," I insisted.

　　"Is that so?" I just nodded and then he approached me so much that our bodies were almost touching.

　　Then his eyes twinkled and he smiled beautifully. "Then I have to like that both sides of you, apart from Manong Pilot, you just showed me something like that so I would have asked you to be a cold and snobber Zenith again. Can you do that?"

　　"For what? Because you count on me like before? Psh! Not gonna happen and who are you to tell me that," I couldn't help but boom! I just came back to annoy him.

　　Damn, this guy!

　　"You know why I was restless before? I just found out that short hair suits you better, you looked so beautiful and I can't help but be fancy and cunning. I'm sorry if you feel the other way … but …"

　　"But what?" I asked, it's still slow.

　　He suddenly laughed which made me even more annoyed, why again?

　　What's funny?

　　"Nothing, just keep this side of you. After today, I want the Zenith I knew …" I glared at him because there, a lot of people say don't just arrest him.

　　He laugh at it again. "Just trust me, okay?"

　　Then he left me at the door and went out first. Strength of the trip ah?

　　"Tsk! I hope you'll not regret what you've asked me to, Vior. This is what you want …" He happily addressed me, tch!

　　"I won't. Come on, let's go …" he said.

　　Psh! So annoying. I shook my head to follow him and started walking.

　　You better not, Vior.

　　Because it was a big mistake you even asked me for that thing, especially in my condition now.
