Perhaps my cat will know something, hopefully, she does.
The king's brother seemed to be watching my every action and he did not put any effort to hide that fact. He watched me talk to those I was introduced to by Jeffrey.
They were older and I made sure I was respectful enough not to make them get to hate me on my first day at work after all I was only an illegitimate son and had to be more careful than I would have been on my first day at work in my father's hospital probably after graduating from Harvard with a distinction.
It will take a longer time to achieve that than simply studying in my country but I would have done it at the end of the day.
This is probably the same way I would make any illegitimate child of my father feel a matter of fact that's if I don't kill him before he steps a foot into my father's hospital.
Now, this must sound very pathetic coming from me in the situation I was in. if I was in a coma and my after has lost that potential heir, he placed all his eggs in, he would not hold back to pulling in an illegitimate son my mum and I had no idea about.
The whole thought of it had me getting teary. I did not want anyone to take what I have worked hard accepting all the strict rules of my father, studying hard, and all I had to endure to inherit.
I was completely sane, at least before I moved to this world and I have never thought about all that being taken from me once in the past, but here I was thinking about it all.
Even if I die, no one should take what belongs to me. Those feelings simply had me feeling more determined to leave this world than ever before.
I paused as I began standing up from my swivel chair. Should I look for the king's brother and ask him for help so I could leave this place? or get close enough to him to find the door out of this world.
I was neither standing up nor sitting down as I tried to make a decision. Was I ready to give him what he wanted for helping me? He said he liked me. what if he does not let me leave when the time comes for me to?
ARGH! I hated having to think about normally irrational things like this that have suddenly become rational in my life here. I dropped down to my seat.
Knock!
I invited the person in and shifted uncomfortably on the soft leather seat when I met the gaze of the king's brother who was smiling broadly at me.
"Have you eaten lunch?" he asked as though I had not rudely sent him out of my office this morning.
"No, I will not eat, yet. I have things to do," I replied firmly giving him no room to persuade me to do otherwise. Seeing him made me strengthen my decision to think about it all well and seek advice from my cat.
He was a handsome young man but I could not see myself in a relationship with him for every reason I listed earlier.
How could you date someone who the thought of kissing disgusted you? I might as well take back my sexual orientation as straight, what bi?
NAH! I am not bi. I have never been. That crazy website simply confused me because I felt that boy looked really good. That was all.
"I do not like men," I told him firmly as I met his gaze unwavering. I was not scared of him at all. "But that does not mean we cannot become friends." Well, I need some important information from him. I hope he likes me well enough to tell me everything I need to know even as a friend.
He narrowed his eyes only for a few seconds before smiling as his Asian eyes formed a crescent shape. I could almost feel the joy in them as I felt the tip of my fingers tingle and my chest tighten guiltily.
Why? Did you just ask? Well, I have never used anyone for my gains in the past. Maybe you could say that I have never needed to. This world was changing me really fast.
"It is okay if you don't like men. I like men and I could slowly change that thought of yours as we get closer and spend more time together as friends," he replied happily.
Inwardly, I sneered. Does he think that will be possible? Maybe in his dreams.
"Where do you want to eat lunch? We could eat it together," I suggested as I stood up.
"Are you going to accept my help before the king arrives?" he asked me seriously and I dropped my gaze before shaking my head and sitting down again.
If that was a price for eating lunch with him then I must decline. It had some other price locked in it. I would have to pay for that one too and it would not be surprising if that one will also have something locked in it.
He hated having to make adult decisions when he was still a minor. He would hate it so much he could destroy this world if he does not get to return to earth and get forced to miss the remaining part of his youth forever. He was already missing it.
"I will give you some days to think about it. We should eat lunch earlier so you should continue what you are doing," he advised me and I don't like the sarcasm in his voice when he spoke about what I was doing.
I stopped what I was doing as I took note of how painfully empty my stomach was so I followed him out despite how much I did not want to do any of that.
I was angry with him and it was not petty of me to. it was not the type of anger that gave me the feeling of wanting to scream but the type that made me feel a strong urge to find that stepbrother of mine to open up his head to see where he kept all the missing money.
I looked at the man walking beside me and thought about asking him about that. "Do you know where my brother kept the money?" I asked seriously.
"No but I am sure with the way he spends, none of them will be left by now," the king's brother replied to me and now I felt that type of anger that makes you want to scream so badly but all you can do is clench your fist until you can feel your sharp finger dig into the flesh of your palm but you don't even feel the pain of it all.
They should find someone to hold me back because I might as well leave a dent somewhere with my fist.
