Chapter 3 : The scary assistant

I couldn't close my eyes for the night, obsessed with what had just happened.

The next day, I received a new phone call from Y/N. She had suggested that we see each other this afternoon, however, I was not yet on my plate. Finally, I nodded and hung up. "It could be a way to forget ..." I think. Very quickly, I got ready and grabbed my loaded bag in the direction of the door. But there, one of the services called me to tell me not to leave right away. I did not recognize this authoritarian voice ... When I turned around, I saw a woman in a costume that I had never seen before. She wore dark glasses which made her look even more severe.

She approached me, slowly, looking at me as if I was worthy to be thrown out the door.

_ Miss Hoshimura, let me introduce myself. I'm assistant to Mr. Yeon, Ms. Hart. I am responsible for looking after you until the gentleman arrives.

_ Uh ... Nice to meet you, Mrs. Hart ... It would be really nice to speak with you, but ... I already had something planned this afternoon. Maybe next time ... Goodbye.

_ You wouldn't go anywhere without my permission. We need to chat now.

_ but ... Someone is waiting for me and ...

_ I have to talk to you, miss.

_...

By staring out of the window next to me, I wanted to run away. But now was not the time. Even if I wanted to play the little rebels with this stranger, all my actions and gestures will be learned by my father. "Very well, we can discuss." I only hope that y / n will understand me if I explain my reasons to him.

Sitting at a table, I paraded my thoughts on the woman in front of me. "What does she want from me?"

_ Good, she started. I imagine you know about Mr. Yeon.

_ Yes.

_ Listen carefully, kyomi. At the moment, the gentleman had a certain security problem because of his work ...

(He had looked for it anyway ...)

_ he then wants you to be well and to be very careful around. He is afraid that we will learn that he has an only daughter living alone in one of the prefectures of Saitama in a large house, know that his enemies are unpredictable and can be everywhere.

(It seems obvious to me since he has no mercy on others!)

_ For punishment, I am responsible for protecting you until he arrives, you should not go out as often.Otherwise, you will be surrounded wherever you go. I think that's all. If you want to go somewhere, you have to tell me the exact location. Is that clear?

_ What? Are you going to follow me everywhere?

_ Indeed. You can dispose.

I got up, dazed, and went back upstairs. Through the window, the snow falls lightly on the trees already covered with white. The people passing by were all dressed warmly in large jackets. Children were running, receiving snowballs in the face. Them, so naive. Naive of their innocence, naive, blind, not even imagining that they pass in front of a house of criminal ... But ... Sometimes, we prefer to hide the truth to avoid ...

There are two weeks left before the start of the school year. Hopefully Y / N is in the same room as me. "Will you hold it against me if I abandon you with regard to loneliness and the cold?" I'm sorry, I'm sorry, again ... Sorry for not being the one you would dream of better. But between us, for me, you're already worth all the gold in the world ...

It's already back to school. I had had no contact with my partner for the past two weeks, I had not even gone out at home. My house looks like a prison, a golden cage. On top of that, I was again ordered to stay at home to prepare for his arrival. In the great hall, servants come and go, their hands full. Very boring. Servants everywhere. Some cleaned as they went along, while others moved furniture, renovated all the decor, a real spectacle. It even looks like he was coming tonight.

I went down the stairs, put on my yellow sweater and a hat and went outside to the garden. Obviously, Miss Hart surprises me as soon as I approached the door. I explained to her that I only wanted to get some fresh air and a little calm. Before granting me this permission, she ordered a servant, too busy with her housework, to close the gate. And, without being shy, I went out with the latter who seemed to be angry; I would react in this way if I was asked to close this already locked door by any means. As for me, I was walking in this vast garden. It was still cool, it's almost spring. The sky was gray, on a completely neutral setting. White everywhere. If only this moment could stay ...

... eternal ...
