THE driver that Light had called arrived in not less than ten minutes, and he's driving a Rover. Now, Blue is certain that this shameless man who stood tall beside her is a young master of a family.
The car stopped in front of Light and Blue, and the driver stepped out of the car. He bowed to the two.
"Young Master, Young Master's girlfriend." The driver politely greeted the two. Blue's thought that Light is a young master, it's right, but the driver called her 'Young Master's girlfriend.' Well, maybe she's just overthinking, and there is a space between the words 'girl' and 'friend' in the driver's mind.
The driver opened the door of the car and Blue entered first. Light said something to the driver before entering the car. They were seated in the back seat and no one dared to talk when they were on the road.
Because of her boredom, Blue almost dozed off while she's still in the Lim family's car, but her phone suddenly vibrated. She checked who the caller was and it's her father.
Blue answered the call with a very soft voice.
"Papa, why did you call?"
"Blossom, I heard that you resigned an your sister is the new director." Mr. Qin's voice was calm, but Blue knew better than that. When her father talks in this tone, it only means that he's fuming mad.
"Mm, where did you here that from, Papa?"
"A son of my friend here also works there, and he told me the details."
"Don't worry about me, Papa. I already found a new job." Blue tried to assure her father, but she knows that her father wouldn't end the conversation there.
"New work? Did you apply as a fashion designer again? You perfectly know that with your credentials, you're qualified to be a department head or director, but when you entered the 1997 Company, you gave me an excuse that you still wanted to learn and explore. Blossom, go for what you deserve. Don't settle for less."
Blue sighed when she heard her father's remarks. "Papa, I signed a contract with the KNK Graphics Company. One of their manhua artists is collaborating with me."
"Huh? I thought you were a novelist? Since when did you start to draw manhua?"
"I'm just going to draw the clothes of the characters. Rest assured that the pay is good."
"Then... are you happy with that decision of yours?"
"I'm happy, Papa. When people read the manhua, they can see my creations, though it's simply a drawing." Blue smiled dreamily while thinking of what could possibly happen when she stays on this path.
"Then I'm also fine with your decision. I'll hang up now. Call me when you want or need to." Mr. Qin ended the call and Blue shifted into a comfortable sitting position. Her gaze landed on Light, and the man was also looking at her.
"What?" She asked, thinking that he needs something for her.
The man looked at the front and didn't mind the girl beside him.
The car suddenly stopped and Blue realized that they are in front of the gate of the most exclusive subdivision in X City. The gate is in gold color and it automatically opened when the driver opened the window in his side.
The car moved again and Blue wanted to drool over the houses built in the subdivision. Everything in the subdivision is beautiful, it's like an ugly thing will be out of place when it's placed in this subdivision.
Also, everything shouts expensiveness. Blue was calculating the approximate price of the houses in her head, but there are too many digits so she just gave up on thinking about it.
They stopped in front of an enormous black gate, with a big 'LIM' in color gold embossed on it. The gate automatically opened and the car moved again.
The sun had already set but everything in the place is still shining, but the only thing that Blue noticed is the morning glory flowers planted everywhere. Ah! This place is heaven!
The car stopped moving and the driver stepped out of the car. He opened the door at Light's side and when Light got out, Blue also stepped out of the car. She was about to admire the beauty of the place, but she heard the barking of dogs surrounding the place, and five dogs were running towards her direction.
Blue had no time to think so she immediately jumped on Light's back. She embraced his waist with her legs and hugged his neck with her arms. Light didn't know what to do for a moment, but he suddenly realized that the person on his back is afraid of dogs.
"Get down first." Light told Blue but Blue shook her head hard, looking at the dogs that are surrounding them. "Trust me, okay. I won't let those dogs eat you."
Blue unwillingly let go of him and stood on the ground. She still hasn't gathered her senses when she felt that she was lifted up.
Light carried her in bridal style!
Light swiftly walked towards their home's door with Blue on his arms. He pressed the doorbell and a woman in her early 50s opened the door for him.
The woman almost dropped her jaw when she saw that her son is carrying a girl in his arms. The girl hid her face in Light's chest, afraid of being seen by anyone.
"Son..." The woman greeted her son, not knowing what to say.
"Mom." Light greeted the woman back.
Light's Mom stood aside and let the two enter the house. She immediately closed the door and followed the two.
She almost sighed when Light put down the girl when they arrived at the living room.
"There are no dogs inside the house." Light told the girl and the girl nodded silently.
Light went upstairs, probably going to his room, and Blue was left in the living room.
When Light's Mom saw that his son is nowhere to be seen, she walked towards the direction of the girl that his son had brought home.
"Hello!" Mrs. Lim enthusiastically greeted Blue, and Blue awkwardly gave her a smile.
"You're... Mrs. Lim?" Blue clarified and Mrs. Lim cheerfully nodded.
"You can call me Mommy Hilda!"
"..."
"Mom! What are you talking about?" Light spoke and his mom glared at him.
"You stinky brat! You didn't tell me that you're going to bring your girlfriend here! I haven't prepared! The heirloom... It's still in the other house!" Mrs. Lim panicked and Light patted the old woman's back.
"She's not my girlfriend." Light grinned and sat beside Blue.
The three people in the living room heard footsteps and all of them glanced at the grand staircase. A man wearing an Italian type suit walked down the stairs gracefully and Blue wanted to clap for him.
"Stinky old man! You were wearing shorts and shirt a while ago!" Mrs. Lim shouted at the man who just came down and the man acted dignified, raising a brow at Mrs. Lim.
"I heard the commotion so I changed into presentable clothes." The man said and glanced at Blue. He offered his hand to Blue. "Hello, daughter-in-law. I'm Ji Won Lim, Light's father."
Blue hesitantly shook Mr. Lim's hand.
"Ji Won! Why are you acting like that? You might scare the little girl. You look like a villainous dad in a drama who wants their son to marry a woman from a wealthy family." Mrs. Lim hit Mr. Lim's head and the dignified aura that Mr. Lim imposed is all gone.
Mr. Lim laughed and asked Blue, "What is your name?"
"I'm Sorrow Blossom Qin. You can call me Blue." Blue introduced herself and Mrs. Lim's eyes widened.
"You're Blue, the designer?" Mrs. Lim inquired.
"Yes." Blue shyly agreed and Mrs. Lim shrieked.
"Can you design my dress for me and my husband's renewal of vows?"
"Sure, Mrs. Lim." Blue smiled lightly.
"Hmm, Qin... Are you somehow related to Cherry Joy Qin?" Mr. Lim asked.
"She's my elder sister." Blue's voice suddenly became cold and the old couple knew that they should stop asking.
"Blossom is here to familiarize herself in my workplace. She'll be drawing the clothes of my characters." Light immediately changed the topic and Blue sighed in relief.
"Oh? That's good! Your taste in clothing is really bad." Mrs. Lim commented then glanced at Blue. "Why don't we eat first? I just prepared dinner before the two of you came and I'm glad that someone's joining us."
They went to the dining hall and Blue's mood became better when she saw the foods in the table.
They sat down and ate quietly. Light's parents ask questions occasionally and Blue answered each and every question politely.
When they were done eating, Mr. Lim went to the study room, Mrs. Lim went to their bedroom, and only Light and Blue were left on the house's first floor.
Light faked a cough. "My work room is in the third floor. Nothing else is in there so it's quite spacious."
Light went upstairs and Blue silently followed him. They arrived at the third floor and Blue didn't expect the design of the place...
