It was midnight and the whole mansion was calm and quiet, meaning that everyone had gone to bed already. But a lone silhouette was visible sitting idly on the bed, busily thinking.
Vionna was finding it difficult to fall asleep, her mind was playing the role of a wondering spirit. She sat, legs folded on the top of her bed. She had already taken a shower and was presently in her PJs. Her hair was slightly wet from the shower, her elbow was placed on her lap while her fingers cupped one side of her jaw as she sat dazedly staring into nothingness.
'I can't believe I almost did something I will regret later on.' Her mind echoed.
'What was I even thinking?" The voice in her head asked.
"What if...what if I couldn't control myself, what if we went to great lengths." She instantly shivered with this thought. But again another thought resurfaced in her mind. 'What was he thinking when he was doing that?' That was the question that needed answers the most. Like? What happened to him, she remembered she never did anything neither did she planned seducing him and besides someone like him does not resemble someone to be easily seduced.
Immediately, her mind went back to the instructions that was said to her by Catherine the moment she stepped foot in the mansion. Her eyes widen in fright. The thought of being caught and reported scared her severely.
Forget about that part, how will she face him later? She don't have that courage. Avoiding him should be the last option because it's not possible. For Christ's sake he is literally her Job.
Vionna felt like shedding tears at this moment, what had she gotten herself into? She had barely spent four days here and her life is already like this?. She brushed her hair behind her ears, she felt suffocating.
The image of their intimacy played in her mind. She shook her head violently to wipe them all away, At this minute she hoped for it to disappear completely with no trace left behind.
Vionna fell, back first flat on the matress while puffing the hot air out from her mouth. "Again! leave tomorrow's worry for tomorrow." She chanted softly before she completely shut her eyes drifting off away to her dream land.
The next morning;
It was morning in the Liu Mansion, Daylight shone brightly, birds chirping and the traffic already starting. Everyone was walking from one place to another making sure that their duties were well carried out and will probably serve no complains at all.
Vionna was in the kitchen with the rest. Though Mia had asked her countlessly if she was not supposed to be in the young Master's bedroom instead of the kitchen with them. But she had also numerously brushed off the question by reply otherwise.
They just let her go as usual. She helped in preparing the food but didn't join in serving them. When she was asked the reason, she replied saying she was feeling a little bit under the wether and she didn't want to make a mistake that will risk her job later on.
They left with her reply but Tania was the only behind, after they all left she walked to Vionna. "Are you really alright Vee."
"Yeah, I'm just feeling a little sick."
"Oh that's bad." Tania was really worried.
"Is the anything I can help you with, maybe something stressful on your schedule?" Tania asked with concern and with the aim of assistance.
"About that, the is indeed something but I don't think you can do it." Vionna replied.
"What is it tell me, maybe I can?" Tania asked.
"Are you sure?" Vionna asked, rubbing her hands on her forehead with squinted brows.
"Yeah."
. . .
A knock resounded on the door.
"Come in."
"Good Day Young Master." Tania greeted.
Liam immediately turned when he heard the unfamiliar voice. He was expecting Vionna to come in and not someone else. "What are you doing here?" He straightforwardly asked without replying to her greetings.
"Oh... Ermmm...young Master.."
"Quit it and speak." He said almost at the peak of his voice, it was more like an inpatient grumble.
Tania immediately flinched, all her mind was screaming was 'How does Vee does this?'. "Errrm Vee, I mean Vionna is not doing alright, she is feeling sick so she asked me to help her out with her duty." She spoke.
He said nothing, he wasn't looking at her anymore, he had this clouded gaze like he was thinking about something important.
"Is the anything I can do for you Young Master?" Tania asked since the silence was deafening.
"Leave." He spouted coldly.
"Huh What?" Tania was thinking she heard wrong.
"I said leave!" He repeated, more stern than before.
"Oh okay." She mumbled before running out of the room with haste, without wasting a single second after the command. For her it was a relief.
