Chapter 9 - I like grey

After signing the contract, I was escorted to a room which I assumed was mine. I was excited to see what the room would look like but as soon as I entered, it was as though I couldn't breathe.

The room was painted blue, completely blue. For some reason, I loathed the color blue. Even though I don't remember why, but I have always been really scared of the color blue. As time went by, I got used to seeing it in small quantities but in this situation, the entire place was blue.

I started breathing hard and I think I heard the old woman who brought me to the room calling me, but I couldn't do anything and I suddenly passed out.

When I woke up, I saw a completely white chandelier and when I tried getting up, I realized my head was hurting so much.

"Ahh, my head hurts". I tried getting up but just as I was about to stand up, the same old woman came into the room with a cup of water.

"Young miss, you are awake. That's a relief, you really scared everyone". She came a bit closer and stretched out the water towards me.

"Here, drink this and take this medication, it'll help with how you hit your head". I took the pill and laid back down. It didn't take long before I went back to sleep.

When I woke up, it was already evening so I stood up and went downstairs to look for something to eat because I was starving. When I got downstairs, I saw Lu Jinho at the dining table. I turned around tiptoeing back and head to my room because I wasn't ready for him to tell me I looked pitiable or something like that.

"Aren't you going to eat?" I paused as soon as I heard that and turned 360 degrees with the most fake smile I could muster.

"Ahh, I just realized that I'm not that hungry". It was at that moment that my tummy decided to make the loudest growl it could think of.

'Aishh this stuff will always embarrass me'.

I walked down to the dining in utmost embarrassment. "Well, I guess a little food won't hurt so much hehe".

He had already started eating so I just chose what I wanted. There were so many nice dishes on the table, I felt like picking everything up and stuffing it down my throat.

"Tell them what you want to be changed in your room. They'll get it done before you finish eating".

'What is this? He isn't asking why I passed out. Heh, it's either he has zero sympathies or he doesn't want me feeling uncomfortable. Either way, I'm glad he didn't ask'.

"I don't like anything in the room, it gives me the chills. Oh and I prefer grey to blue. I wouldn't mind if the entire room was grey".

I didn't want them to know I got scared because of the painting, so I said I didn't like everything. After I spoke about the changes I wanted, Lu Jinho stood up and left.

"What is that about? He didn't even eat much. No way, is he mad because I said I didn't like the decor? Ahhh whatever I can't go back on my word".

When I was done eating, one of the maids came over and told me that the room wasn't ready yet so I decided to look around the house a little more.

I was walking around the second floor when I suddenly came across a beautiful black door. It was black but shiny and it had gold art on it. I opened the door and walked in curious about what could be in the room. When I walked in, I was more shocked than I was when I saw the door.

"It's a training room. Waaa all this a military standards". I kept running my hands around all the types of equipment that were in the room. I saw a transparent door and I went in. It turned out to be the actual training room where one could fight and train with weapons. The room was very big, one would never imagine it to be this big from the outside.

I admired it for a long time and then decided I'd definitely come back to practice here.

"This body definitely needs some training. Ahh I'm so excited, I can't wait to start training. Oh right I have to ask him first".

I left the ed training room and wanted to keep exploring the house when a maid came over.

"Young miss, your room is ready". I looked at her all smiley and said.

"Oh well, I guess I'll end my tour here for today. It was a beautiful experience".

I left and was about to open the door to my room when another person called me. 'Ahhh why does it feel like everybody is trying to stop me from opening doors'.

"Young miss, Mr. Lu would like to see you". I simply nodded and followed her.

She took me to a room at the extreme end of the house. "We are here miss". I went inside and to my surprise, it was a library, a very big one at that.

I didn't know where he was so I decided to look around a little. I kept looking at the fascinating books that were well arranged on the shelves. Most of them, I couldn't reach because they were just too high. While I was looking around, I saw a really beautiful brown book and I wanted to see its content but it was one of those books that were just so high to reach.

I began looking around and I saw a small stool. I took it and placed it down so I could carry the book. When I was about to carry it, I heard someone say

"You sure do have a way of snooping around don't you?" Because it was unexpected, I lost my stand and was about to fall when I felt a pretty large arm around my waist.
