Chapter 3: Arc 1
"I'll ask. How do I overturn the disadvantage of a forced binder and return your services to normal."
[Host asked a very sensible question. Succeeding 5 world missions or acheiving anything equal to it can completely help the system to upgrade and return to normal.]
"Oho... So that's how it is.. nevertheless, I will tell you that your punishments are particularly serious. Do you do that to make your hosts obedient or what?"
She looked quite curious and innocently interested.
[... The Host's mentality is particularly strong. Don't you feel any pain or fear after being punished?]
" It's not like that. But this electrifying sensation just seems familiar so I wasn't even aware I can adjust this fast."
[Then it's no wonder.]
[Then host can go on now.]
Stefanie was immediately lying on her bed at this time in the posture as if she was sleeping.
[Host needs not worry that the time outside may be affected, time will stop if you enter the system space. As for your body, it will be automatically made into a posture that is very reasonable as an excuse for you. Then, goodluck again host, I hope you learn your lesson this time.]
" You look like you're running away, don't you know that? "
She laughed a little and stood up again. She took a short shower and called for servants to prepare herself.
"Young Miss, where shall you go this time?"
"Where else? Just to the hospital. As a filial daughter, I must be there by their side even if they lay dead."
The maids were silent but prepared her fast. The young lady's relaxed attitude chilled them a lot. After all, is that the attitude you have if you hear that your parents are dead now?
But they never say anything, the young lady might be an orphan now, but this is a rich orphan who can still dictate their family's financial situation.
As for the former masters, they aren't really the type of people that a person can be loyal to, one is very malicious and the other is very busy and promiscuous making countless servants suffer from his wife's hands.
Everyone in this family was crazy and hard to serve but who blames them for paying higher than most rich families.
Now, the young lady, although hard to serve as well, but she looks to be in a good mood now, different from her outrage frenzy every other day. It might be scary that she's like this today but she is also very generous, it is also beneficial to serve her well.
They didn't know that they were already fast at adjusting themselves to serving the young miss. Whether they notice or not, they would always think it's better anyway.
An hour and she was dressed formally and just right for the occasion.
"Miss, should we do your make-up more... more suited to the occasion?"
"Suited for the occasion?"
She looked at her self at the mirror and nodded. She does look too fresh as a person who is supposed to grieve right now.
"Do it well."
Everything was finished after a few hours, they made her look paler than usual and made her eyes look swollen and tired. She was very satisfied.
-----
The driver was fast and immediately reached the hospital where the couple was.
She was guided quickly by a nurse and reached a room where she saw white quilts covered on two beds.
She didn't have to guess that it was both of them. A few tears streamed down her face. Her eyes immediately filled with sadness and she rushed to get the quilt out of their body.
"Mom...Dad...I'll miss you."
She cried as if in intense grief took over her and hugged two heads sadly. Her nose and eyes were reddish and her lips looked more paler than she came.
Those who witnessed this were heartbroken to see a beautiful young lady crying in sadness. The lady looked really feirce and strong but she would cry in sadness like this and she looked so weak.
They could only sigh and went out to give more time for her to part with her family.
Seeing them going out, she quickly stood up straight and used the white quilt to wipe the messy makeup on her face.
She still made nonsense sound of mourning incase a random stranger suddenly came and resolve his doubts or stray accidentally.
She stayed here for an hour and went out looking messy and tired.
She took a call to contact Belinda. It took a few calls until it was answered. In fact, no sound came out and she just waited for what the young lady wanted to say.
"Belinda.. how do I say this, please take care of everything about my parent's funeral."
Without waiting for an answer, she ended the call.
[Host almost took up an F-ranked punishment. Host is very lucky.]
"Again? How did I do it this time."
[Host already made the poor woman distress on her son's situation. Now you made her do things. It will tire her and she may faint to death.]
Hearing this, Stefanie laughed amusedly but quickly covered her upturned red lips lest she may be assumed to be crazy, laughing in a messy make-up here in the hospital.
'Isn't this like the same scenario that you passed by and someone fell in love with you at first sight. But this man is a married man and he divorced his wife because of it, you caused harm to people? Haha'
[... Host has a very powerful imagination, but it can be true that small actions can also easily cause disaster for others.]
[Maybe this is also a big rule to the requirements, so be careful host.]
'I'm really telling you, your rules seems to restrict your hosts for more than a simple punishment.'
[... Host, I still have to check up on some things. Goodbye.]
Hearing this, she walked away from the hospital with a disappointed expression.
What she did not notice was a tall figure of a man that has been watching her back upstairs as she walked and left the hospital.
"President. I'm really sorry to trouble you with this small wrist injury."
At the same time, a guy with a formal suit and a sorry expression came to his side quickly.
"You're my secretary. Either way, your hand is precious. How many works will be delayed just because of your small hand injury? "
"Ah.. yes"
Then he noticed that the man in a black shirt didn't face him when talking, it's not his style at all.
"Uhmm... is the president looking at something downstairs."
"It was someone crazy , she looked like crying but laughing. I thought it was someone who was crazy."
When Eli heard this, he nodded casually and tried to make up a reply.
"Urhmm... Some people, we shouldn't easily judge them by the cover. President, I read from the internet that some people, in order to cope up with their grief, with all effort tried to make some funny or happy scenarios in their head and get over with it."
"Oh.... She did look tired."
But he always felt that she gave him this familiar vibe. Just when have he felt it before?
The man in a black shirt was scratching his chin with his hands in wonder.
"President, the appointed meeting is about to be held in two hours. I was wondering if we should go on our way now."
"With whom?"
".. It's from the 'cave'...boss."
"Well, let's go."
He turned his head and went on his way.
Black leather shoes and red high heels both strayed away from each other's path of direction.
The coincidence of the two's meeting will surely be an important step on the process of their destiny in the future. But it will probably take a long while.
End, Chapter 3.
