Butler Charles know not to let Ava call him for the third time, it was already a blessing she called him for the second time. Masking his frightened expression, he turned.
"Is there anything the young miss need. " The frightened expression was no where to be seen as he faced her calmly not fazed by her overbearing aura.
"Tea. Study. Now. " Ava order before leaving for her study.
Butler Charles breathed an air of relief as he could breath properly for the meantime. This was only the beginning of what was to come. Charles could already feel the headache from all this drama just to get his young miss married. He quickly prepared the tea and took it to her study before Ava decides to use him as an anger absorber.
In Ava's study...
*Knock! knock! *
The knock came twice before the person entered. Butler Charles placed the tray of tea in front of Ava before taking three steps back.
The study was quiet except for the constant tapping of Ava's nails on the table as she stared at the man standing in her front. Unable to handle her intense gaze, butler Charles averted his gaze. The rug suddenly became interesting and fascinating to look at.
Not wanting to prolong the silent torture, butler Charles decided to explain, starting the from when butler Nicholas arrived with Gavriel.
"So you deem it fit to make decision on my behalf? " Ava asked. Butler Charles felt iciness dripping off her words. He quickly shook his head.
"Of course not young miss. The order was given by the chairman, your grandfather. A mere butler like myself cannot defy his words." Charles paused in his explanation letting his words gain weight. This was his only chance to clear his name and push the blame unto the chairman and his butler.
"My dear, I suggest you call the chairman to give you a better explanation as I am in mo position to do or say anything. " Charles suggested innocently but both he and Ava understood what he was trying to do.
Ava quietly stared at Charles before she dialed her grandfather's number. After the first ring, he picked up.
"It's good to know that you still think of me, so how- "
"Explain." Ava said
" Explain what?!" Elder Lee feigned confusion.
"I won't repeat myself old man." Ava sighed. Her grandfather can sometimes be a pain in the ass especially when he starts with his act.
"What a rude brat! Not only do you not call me at all. You speak so rudely to me. Aeygo! Charles.." Elder Lee yelled his name knowing he would be beside Ava. " You are standing there doing nothing while she's talking so rudely. Is this how you've raised my granddaughter?"
Elder Lee continued to complain. Butler Charles sighed in resignation. This old man sure knows how to put on an act but this will get them mo where.
"Elder, I suggest you just spill the beans. Young miss alre- "
Ava was losing her patience as her grandfather continue scolding her butler. She raise her hand to stop Charles from talking.
"Before sunrise tommorow send Peter to come fetch the body." Ava said casually. She wasn't in for this shit. Charles as well as her grandfather knows that she loves her privacy and peace.
The room fell silent after her words. Charles tensed as he knew Ava wasn't bluffing. She would really kill the man as she deem him as a threat to her peaceful and lazy life. But the problem was the man she is planning to kill so casually is not an ordinary person, he is part of a royal family, a freaking prince. And even if she succeeds, the royal family will not let them go scot-free.
"Ava do- " The call disconnected before Elder Lee could complete his words. The phone rang again but noone answered. It kept ringing but Ava ignored it. She leisurely sipped her tea.
"Mirror." She called making Charles tensed the more.
"Yes miss."
"Young miss please consider your decision." Charles pleaded but it fell on deaf ears.
"There is an intruder in the second master's bedroom, exterminate it. " Ava continued her order.
"Yes miss. "
"No miss. "
