Capítulo 13: Don't cross the line.

ASHER

It's infuriating, watching her smile and sweet talk to my family members. But at least I can be glad she is expending her efforts elsewhere. Until…

"What are we doing?" My father says loudly, "we've kept you two apart for too long come here, son. You two should get closer."

She glances at me then turns her head and laughs slightly.

"Come now Mr Quing there's no need for that. We have all the time in the world I'd rather use the time I have to get to know you first. You see I don't have a father, it's wonderful that you'll be coming into my life now." She giggles, tucking her hair behind her ears and staring downwards yet again. My jaw lowers at the audacity, just who does this bitch think she is? What, getting a new father? If she wants him she can have him but I'd rather die than share parents with her or anything else for that matter.

Eventually, the day grows brighter and then the bright and intense sun begins to dim and at this point, Isabelle has managed to win over, all my family members. Well, all except one, the family patriarch, my grandfather. That was the only that gave me the strength to withstand this day. She can sweet talk everyone here but those cheap tricks will not work on my grandfather. Think of the devil…

"What is going on here? Everyone seems to be having a good time." My grandfather says as he walks into the garden with his… wow this secretary still works with him. I remember him from fifteen years ago, that is a definition of loyalty right there. Before my grandmother or any other family member for that matter introduces her she steps forward with the biggest smile and the most innocent eyes bowing she greets my grandfather.

"Hello sir, I'm Isabelle Byun of Byun health plus. I have been waiting to meet you ever since my father wouldn't stop gushing about how good of a businessman you are." She stated but, my grandfather said nothing, not initially. watching closely I smiled, she might have had miraculous luck with my family members but she made a mistake with my grandfather. He wasn't one for useless ass kissers.

"So? I'm here now what do you want?" He asked bluntly.

"Eh?" She replied with raised brows. "You said you have been waiting to meet me, so? Now I'm in front of you what do you want?"

This is it, what would she say? I wondered although I am pretty sure at this point she will only crash and burn. So what if she won over the rest of my family? Grandfather is the only one that matters.

"I wanted to check something…" she began but my grandfather cut in, "what? If I was as good as your father said? Why? So you can marry my grandson and get access to, wealth?" He replied with a straight face, showing no emotion at all. That is it, grandfather, rip her apart and see the disgusting greed that lurks beneath.

"No, as you heard before I am a Byun and not just any Byun the heir to the Byun health plus group. I have so much money I can stop working and my grandchildren children wouldn't have to worry about anything. I came to check if you were as good a person as you are a businessman. My father also gushed about that" She replied still wearing that bright smile and those innocent eyes that only makes me more annoyed because I know it is fake.

Grunting my grandfather stepped closer to her "you are different from the rumours I have heard about you."

"Hey come on grandfather, you should know better than to listen to rumours, you are such a smart man aren't you?" she pouts oblivious to the shock caused to everyone else standing around her. Even I wonder, how can she be so brazen?

SABINE

"Excuse me miss, can I have a word with you?" I say to the 'future daughter in law' as she walks oast to head to the bathroom. Turning to face me I notice an unfamiliar look in her eyes as she stares at me but before I can begin to understand it she masks it as smiles at me.

"Can I help you?" She asks as she faces me completely.

"Yes actually, I need you to apologise." I state bluntly, "If you apologise I'll let go of this quietly."

Her pink lips protrude forward after she swipes her tongue across them to wet them. As though she is trying to brag in front of me about her naturally pink and full lips. "I'm not sure if I understand you?" She says and I sigh, pulling out my phone I play the recording from earlier, focusing on the part where she called me a useless servant.

"Apologise."

I notice that she was startled at first before she scoffed. "You are really brazen aren't you?"

"What?"

"I mean you recorded that? Do you really have no fear or regard for your life?" She asked and I frown and step backwards.

"Are you threatening me miss Byun?"

"No, I'm simply stating facts, you shouldn't do that when you work in such a house, do you know what these people would do to you if they found out?" She says and it's my turn to scoff.

"So what now you care about my wellbeing all of a sudden? Who are you trying to fool?" I retorted.

"You think I don't, if I hadn't done what I did today, said what I said today" she steps forward. "Very much doubt you would still be here wearing that uniform demanding an apology from me."

"I don't believe you, you would never do anything for anyone but yourself." I spit.

"Careful now, you shouldn't cross the line" she warns.

"Oh? I wasn't aware there was one, look here miss it doesn't matter your intention what matters is that you have defamed me and I can sue you for that." I reply and she laughs.

"You seem to know a lot about the law, do you? Fine, you should also know what will happen if you say or do anything against me, not only will you lose in court you will also lose this job. what then? Do you think you can fight me then? No right?" She asks, "f we are done here I need to use the bathroom. Believe what you want but I really did what I did to save you."


Capítulo 14: This is a battle.

ASHER.

"Oh gosh, were you waiting for me? Sorry for taking so long, I'm so flattered." She gushed as she took her seat, right by my grandfather's side. Sparing me a small glance for the first time in a long while she nodded softly and turned back to kiss my families ass. I couldn't understand her at first but I see it now her plan, to win over my family first. Tch… I will never agree to the marriage, at least even though I might have to marry the woman grandmother chooses I still have the choice in picking right?

My thoughts a disrupted by a loud noise and the sound of breaking and clashing cutlery and sliver. Before I even wrap my mind around what has happened a piercing erupts right by my side, right where she sits.

"Oh my goodness!" She exclaims getting up from her seat. "How-!" She pauses and I catch it, her subtle glance around the room. It happens for the shortest time but I notice it and then she turns around back to the screaming, begging, and kneeling maid. This reminds me of a historical movie, the way the maid begs it pains me to say that things like this are normal in this house. People begging like this it's foolish and inhumane.

But one thing surprises us all, Isabelle kneels before the maid and takes her face in both her hands lifting her head. "Don't beg me as if I have the power to cut off your head. You are making me look like some mean bitch." She says.

"Why are you kneeling?!" My grandmother yells "she should be scared for her head because I do have the power to remove it" really? Grandma? "and I will probably be doing that, how dare you do that to our guest?!"

"Oh my grandmother, it's no problem at all really" Isabelle insists.

"I don't care, she is getting paid she should have been more careful, are you going to disagree with me because of some useless servant?" Grandmother replies and the room goes silent, it seems it is not only I that is curious to see how she handles this.

Standing straight Isabelle faces my grandmother and bows, "going against your wishes is the last thing I would want to do grandmother." I knew it, she can't go against grandmother, no way. She truly is just one of those rich and materialistic women, at the end of the day she would sacrifice someone else to save herself.

"But… I need you to let me handle this time of my matters on my own. I came here today because you want to join both families, and I will be the wife of the Quing heir. If I don't handle these matters by myself won't I be considered a joke?" Isabelle states "she has made a serious mistake and had I been in your shoe grandmother I would have done the exact same thing. How dare a mere maid to deface my guest like this? But I am not a mere guest and I would prefer if she is forgiven today, hmm grandmother? Just this once for me?"

"What the hell are you still doing here? Go already" Isabelle says to the maid after helping her stand.

"Is… is it really okay to just walk away like this?" She asks glancing at my grandmother and stepmother. Assuming she received a go-ahead from my stepmother the maid dashes away. "I will go and wash off excuse me," Isabelle says as she follows after the maid.

"You should go after her Asher, even if she says she is fine it must still be a nuisance I'm sure that dress must have been expensive." My uncle's celebrity wife says to me.

"You are right Linn, It's a limited edition I have been trying to get my hands on it for so long now there was only one piece in the country I guess she was the one who finally bought it." My aunt adds.

Beyond confused I get up and follow her out, I need answers myself.

ISABELLE.

That was beyond close, this entire evening has been beyond close but somehow I have managed to wiggle my way out each time. Why did that grandmother have to speak up at that point? She almost ruined all my hard work, I didn't even know what I was saying anymore but it was the right thing as they all seemed to buy it. Walking past the bathroom I head to a familiar corner and meet with a familiar face.

"Were you too startled? I'm sorry about that," I say. "Here I'll add more money. I promise I'll make sure you don't lose your job but it's better if you don't appear before the old madam for a while okay?" The maid nods and walks off.

And I head back into the bathroom to try to at least rub off some of the stains. "Dammit" I curse, this plan has to work, it just has to. This was a limited edition dress I just ruined. For a moment I stop and stare at myself, placing both hands on the washbasin I prepare myself mentally. The entire afternoon I have exhausted myself kissing up to theQuing family and the next event is going to solidify me in their hearts. I know it's risky to get them to like me so much but for wealthy people to like you is one thing for them to like you enough to recommend you to someone else is a different matter. In my past life what would take place next was what destroyed any chances I had of marrying Asher and it was the beginning of my downfall in this city. My reputation had always been bad, but this night was one of the worst nights of my life. I plan to change that outcome this night, not that I intend on marrying Asher or anything but if this goes well I might be able to fix that reputation of mine. Of being an airheaded beauty who is shallow, selfish, naive and materialistic. Drawing in a butt load of air I exhale and walk out, this is battle and I intend on winning.
