Chapter 5
She piques my interest
When she looks up a person who is handsome great and no one dare to approach him. There he is standing before her.
She is amazed why he is here. How can he at right before her, when Amelia thinks this is not the situation she wanted since she's here to check on him but she didn't know that he might come at first to stand before her. Wow
"What happened here?", his cold tone chills the atmosphere. The shop manager quickly answer his question.
"Sorry for inconvenience. This girl made a mistake."
"What kind of mistake that you make a mess like that?"
Ugh, he is not letting slide this situation is what the manager thought. He didn't even know a girl he just recruited brought a wrong drinks order and the fussy customer slammed the table. This is not a look-able situation but he has to handle it. Now the big boss even witness this. The manager feels like his career is on the edge.
"This girl brings the wrong order on the customer by accident. But he slammed the table so the clothes become wet."
"Is that all? Here get my cheque and let him get to the laundry."
The angry customer take his cash and angrily storm off from the restaurant the manager bow to him. But the case didn't end here. Before the manager says thanks to Tyler, he turns around and asks her first.
"Are you hurt somewhere?"
Amelia looks up for a while and then she replies to Taylor in soft manner.
"I'm fine thank you for your help. I will pay you back."
Tyler chuckle quietly by her words.
"Aren't you the one from the spa why are you working here."
"I just need some cash that's why I do part-time work."
Of course Amelia cannot say that *I am checking on you* but she acts calmly and handling the situation.
"Why do you need cash? If may I help…"
"Sorry , I am not able to tell you."
As Amelia interrupts his words, he realizes he talks too much already.
"Sorry I cross the line please take care of yourself."
He just walks away quickly.
"Sir please wait, how may I repay your debt?"
Amelia stunned by his actions, so she can only raise her voice and asks.
"Mister, just now you just help me."
"Do you know me right?"
Amelia can only nods by his question.
"I know you of course."
"Then come to my office when you are free and may I know your name"
"I'm Amelia."
"OK I will wait for you then. I will tell you how to repay your debt at that time. Don't worry I won't ask you to do something strange"
Amelia looks up at again with her eyes widen but she can only catches the glimpse of his back, walking away. His secretary is also following him in rush.
The manager witnessed the whole situation and he has known Tyler for a few years and he has never seen him close to a female worker. He feels something is not right but his face seems still indifferent. So he cannot tell what makes a difference just now. Only he knows is he should not fire the girl in front of him without any reason.
Amelia stands still and cannot recall the situation that happened.
The man he is she is checking on for some case asked her to meet him.
Things might escalate better than she imagined. She only wishes things might turn out as she wanted.
On the other hand there is someone who still doesn't understand the situation.
Brett knows Tyler very well but now the situation is very different.
A man like Taylor helps a girl and he even knows where she works.
That's weird tings that happened. The things he's never imagined in his life after knowing him for over a decade.
Brett doesn't speak of his thoughts but Tyler seems aware of his movements.
"Don't you have something you want to ask me."
Brett sits in passenger seat and asked the driver to drive back to the mansion. He calmly does what he need to do first and then look at him through the glass in the car rearview mirror.
"If I ask you will you tell me."
Tyler smirks, "Well, it depends on your question."
"Who is she? Why do you know her?"
"Well I just saw her last time the spa opening."
Brett's face is telling like how do you know a girl like her just in one glance."
Tyler knows the face expression although he didn't say out loud.
"Well do you see her eyes clearly."
"No. She lowers her head in dull appearance."
Brett quickly answers. How can he sees her eyes? He couldn't even clearly see her face.
"Do you know how she look like my mom. But it is different, she gives off different aura. "
Brett is amazed by his sudden comments. He never knew Tyler might speak openly about his mom after all this time.
After the death of his brother and his mother, he never talks about them to anymore and became an indifferent and cold. His persona is like he really is inherited from his father just after those accidents.
"Really? Why do you think so?"
Tyler looks out of the car window he looks into the air and sky and softly said,
"Those blue eyes, they are quite deep and sharp. Mom is a bright person so she is always proud of her eyes but that girl she is covering her beauty and I feel like she purposely acts dull."
"I want to know why she's making herself like that. There might be a reason and I want to know why."
Brett doesn't ask him anymore because he can feel Tyler has explained all the things he wanted to know. He never expected Tyler might speaks out his thoughts in lengthy explanation.
And he also knew Tyler might not speak again about those things anymore.
The car slowly enter the mansion gardens and quietly parks before the main entrance.
The butler welcomed them.
"Welcome Young Master, there's a guest waiting for you."
Brett's eyebrows frowed a litte because he has finished all the schedules for today. This is the time Tyler should rest after a long day.
"I didn't expect guest arriving at the mansion." He reported Tyler in uncertain manner.
Tyler nods and turn the questions to the butler.
"Who…"
Before he can ask the butler, the guest waiting for him to show ups and let them know that identity.
"Hello brother long time no see."
Her red hair flying in the wind has made yellow sparkle eyes seems gleeful. A cheerful manner is suddenly filling the air. Her height is quite tall for a girl and her elegant demeanor surely matches with the family's blood line.
She might act a bit childish in the past but now she is growing up and acting more mature.
"Lily, why are you here?"
Lily the second Cousin of Tyler.
She has been away from the land for her farther studies so it is the only reason that she is not familiar with the gang.
She is a spirit similar to Tyler from the past, a free spirit traveling everywhere and enjoying all the things they want to do.
More like Tyler is a partner-in-crime for Lily in the past.
Now the situation has changed and Taylor cannot meet Lily more often.
"You are busy that's why I have to come see your face."
Tyler smiles now. He then holds the hand of Lily and shows the way into the house.
"Let's talk inside, aren't you tired?"
She naturally hooks up on his arms like a little sister.
"Yeah yeah, let's go inside and talk I have a lot to tell you."
Brett look at those brother and sister.
This is the only times Tyler smiles genuinely.
Before Brett could leave Tyler turn around and ask him,
"Why are you standing there and have supper with us."
Brett smiles,
"No, you should take your time to catch up with each other I might go home and rest."
Brett bid goodbye as he let them have sibling times on their own since he also wants to rest.
Tyler notices his intention and agrees with his idea. He takes Lily inside and Brett drove back.
"Yo brother, you look tired. How is your work here? It is not the thing you want to do anyway."
Tyler warily smile,
"Even if I don't want to do who will do in my stead."
Lily really nodded and agree.
"Well it's been years we haven't see each other. Is there a girl you want to date?"
Tyler nerves out, "Is there a time I can think about love?"
They both entered the dinning room and delicious fragrance captures their attention.
Since Lily has been waiting for him at mansion for an hour the cook has prepared their favourite dishes for for them to be a good supper.
They are trying to dig in supper and talk a lot since they have a lot to catch up. Moreover, they have a similar hobbies so there are many topics and enjoyable staff they can share together.
"I'm coming back because there is a reason."
Lily's expression becomes stiff and she softly uttered.
Tyler looks up from having his desserts. He notices her expressions and uneasy feelings piling ip.
"If you are telling me that is a reason then it might be a big one because you are never have control over your words."
They do not smile anymore and Tyler seems aware of the situation.
"What is the reason."
"To marry you."
