During dinner time, Ms. Yu gave Li Meilin a special instruction that the young master, who is none other than Lim Xian, wants his dinner served in his room. Being a curious one, Li Meilin hadn't fought the urge to ask about that.
At the back of her head, Li Meilin totally refuses to call him master. Instead, she prefers to call him: her young devil master.
"Why is that so? Doesn't he want to eat dinner with his father?"
"It's none of your business. Now, just do as I say and shut your mouth."
Li Meilin imagined having an imaginary zipper on her mouth as she faked zip it in front of old hag number two before following her to the kitchen to get a tray and the devil's food.
While Li Meilin was walking up to the young master's room, she was literally bad-mouthing him inside her head, saying that the bastard thinks he is so special and this house is like a hotel that he could order room service in here! What a jerk he truly is, inside and out.
Li Meilin stopped and made sure that she reached the right door, which would be the very first door when you turn to your right on the second floor of this house. There are so many rooms here in this house according to Ms. Yu that she had already lost track of it.
Sighing, Li Meilin started knocking on the door, thrice, just to make sure he would immediately open the door. To her dismay, however, it took him so long to open it that Li Meilin was already thinking to literally destroy the whole thing herself if ever he wouldn't open it for the next couple of seconds. The bowl of soup and the plate consisting of newly-cooked rice and curry is so hot in her hands that she starts carrying it simultaneously with both hands.
A bored-looking Lim Xian greeted her with matching headphones on his head and a smartphone on his right hand.
'That is why he never heard the knock in the first place!' Li Meilin screamed at the back of her head. Maybe he is currently playing some games, or watching porn for instance.
"Just hurry up and put it on my side table," the emotionless boy says and walks away, just like that.
Li Meilin sucked in all the breath that she could gather and let it all out in one heap just to calm herself before entering his room. Here she thought the boy would get the tray from her! How very ungentlemanly of him!
Keeping a straight face, Li Meilin walked straight past him and onto his side table where her young devil master said she should be putting his dinner. But Li Meilin can't help but notice how spacious and big his room is! This whole place is twice her apartment room, for goodness' sake!
Lim Xian's room is what every teenage boys' room she has ever imagined to look like. There are posters of his favorite basketball players pinned on the walls painted in gray, James Lebron's picture doing a jump for example.
On his left is a large sliding window with blinds on it, on the other side is where you could find a large shelf of trophies neatly placed next to each other. There were tons of them, probably since he likes to play basketball that much. Li Meilin heard from Mi Wei that he is the captain of their basketball team.
"I said to hurry up, yet why are you still here?"
Li Meilin's thoughts snapped back to reality when she heard his annoyed voice in the background, ruining her chance to totally memorize the interior of his room. She still found herself holding the tray that she was told to place on his side table, and so she did. With haste, she almost knocked the glass of orange juice if she wasn't being too fast enough to put it back into place.
"What a clumsy, idiot you are," Li Meilin heard him say.
It was at that exact moment when she decided to turn to look at him. Her young, 'devil' master is currently sprawled on his bed, both his hands are maneuvering his smartphone like he is playing some kind of an online game right now. His voice was a little too loud because of the headphones he is wearing, but he isn't bothered by it. Not a bit.
Li Meilin doesn't know if he could hear her right now, but she still followed her instincts. She crossed her arms over her chest and glared at him.
"Just because I am being paid as your servant doesn't mean you have the right to insult me like that," Li Meilin hissed.
The girl was already planning to walk out right after she rants her frustrations at him when she felt his hand gripped on hers, just like that time when Lim Xian held her hand like this back in school.
"And just because you are hired by my father doesn't mean you can talk to me like that," Lim Xian sneered back.
He stood up from where he was lying, dropping the phone and the headphones into his bed, and walked towards her. His every step is like a warning sign that Li Meilin should totally run for her life, or else she'll be dead for sure.
But she didn't. And it took all of her courage and willpower altogether for Li Meilin's feet to remain here to where she is currently standing.
"As your master, you have to do exactly everything as I say."
Lim Xian pinned her on the wall, their faces dangerously close to each other. He slumps his left hand on the girl's left side, while his other hand transferred from her hand to her chin and held it with force.
"My father can't do anything if I will do something to you here, can he?" the young devil smirks, his voice emanating sexiness and authority. Wait, did she just say his voice is sexy?!
"Even greeting me every time I come home is part of your f'cking job description."
Li Meilin thought at first that he was only messing around since she remembers him calling her ugly earlier at his father's office, making her relieved to know that she isn't his type at all and the same with her. But when he started leaning on her, panic started to surge within her.
Without much time to think it further, Li Meilin lifted her knee up and kicked her master on his balls. Hard. So hard he started to whimper and crouched down on his knees.
"That's for you for being such a jerk!" Li Meilin yells, with her middle finger raised in the air in which he cannot see right now with his current situation.
Seconds after, Li Meilin began to walk out of his room with a proud grin spread all across her face.
That totally serves him right!
