The car stopped suddenly startling Helena from sleep. She bounced and her head hit the back of the passenger seat in which Kim's butler was sitting. She glared at the driver who sat on the driver seat there sneering, he does truly courting death as of now, she would definitely be teaching each of them a perfect lesson to respect her. Their actions are very extreme for someone employed to serve her.
She knew this driver purposely hitting the car brakes to abruptly halting it, looks like the first lesson begins now.
"Butler Kim, fire this driver, pay his salary and tell him to get the hell out" Helena opened the car door and got out without looking at the driver who was still stunned by Helena's decision. Butler Kim hesitated for a moment about this, all of the employees are paid by the second young master, however his orders are clear for butler Kim, that is to fulfill all the needs and desires of Helena. He sighed and gave an apologetic look at the man next to him, 'he shouldn't have done that' he uttered to himself, well aware of the treatment Helena received previously.
'Madam is a little domineering after she loses her memory'
Helena is supported by Theresa as she walking into the grand villa, the two pillars archway which was wrapped in a string of roses similar just like the king's palace, the gold -plated at each corner of the doors highlighted the grand entrance that this villa trying to show, two maids stood to greet Helena, they looked at her cynically as if they would hate to see her return.
Helena's guess was right, it seemed she was at the bottom of the hierarchy in this villa. Butler Kim has left information that she and the maids are the only ones living in this house, while Cade and Molly live in the main house. Unfortunately Daniel also doesn't live here, he lives in a penthouse adjacent to his casino.
Helena ignored the obvious sneered from the two maids towards her, she will deal with them later since she has more urgent things to settled. Her belongings are sent to her room located on the second floor of the villa, glancing down at her ankle, she will has to endure the flight of stairs to her room.
She turned to butler Kim
"I need to talk to you, follow me to the balcony where i fell down" Butler Kim nodded and directing her while assisting her to the balcony on the second floor where it all began.
Theresa bringing in a fragrant tea with a rose tea cup and assorted pastries to serve the sitting Helena on the wicker outdoor furniture. She looked at the tea and the rose tea cup with frowned.. 'what is up with roses in this house'
"Theresa, i don't want tea, from now on please only get me a fresh brewed black coffee, with creamer and sugar" she non subconsciously slipping in her old habit when it comes about choice of beverage. Butler Kim raised his eyebrows listening to Helena's request, they knew she hated the taste of coffee the most. This is a second drastic changes of the young mistress of the family that he notice, living with her for a year, he knew what she likes and hated the most.
Theresa nodded and left them with the tray on her hand to replace it with a new drink.
"Uncle Kim.. can i call you that?" she asked while observing the fenced wrapping the balcony, she must admit, the breeze felt on this balcony is refreshing, it similar like being in her penthouse balcony, her eyelid droop, how she misses her house.. she wonder if life goes on in the other world?.
She snapped back into reality when she heard Butler Kim agreeing for the name.
"I am going to cut to the chase, how long have i been married to Daniel Anderson? how was i, as a person before? and i assumed you know about the contract i have with him right? well i need to see the contract today"
She has more questions as she goes, but her mind seems only be able to take few at the time, this body is weak and so does the brain.. she remembered her wish of wanting to be normal person, a slight regret creeped in her whenever she thought of her constant begging to be normal. She shook her head wanting to get rid of the thought. Then she continue asking the butler,
"oh and also, what is my education level? which college i attended?" she is an extremely gifted person in terms of schooling and the "mercenary ordeal", it is common for her to want to know of what type of major did she graduated, just in case this contract expired and she needs to find a job in this world to support herself. Their conversation was paused when they heard a knock on the glass sliding door.
Theresa came with a freshly brewed coffee and the condiments Helena requested, she serves her the cup of coffee and took her leave to warn the maids downstairs to stop speaking ill of the second young mistress of Anderson.
She likes Helena as a person, even though she has not spent a long time with her, she realized Helena is a respectful towards maids and treat them like a human compared to any other rich brat, that will verbally abuse them. She will defend Helena if she heard bad words about her.
Butler Kim begins his answers based on a question posed by Helena.
He explains that Helena is a gentle and kind person towards anyone, the contract between Helena and Daniel is solely as an agreement where, they are just a married couple without any romantic relationship, Daniel marries Helena because Old master Anderson gave him something which he needed to acquire in a hurry, while Helena has a small affection for Daniel however agrees to give in to be a nominal couple only. While, in terms of Helena's education level, there was only a high school graduation certificate.
The coffee that Helena drank spurted out of her mouth and sprayed Butler Kim's face who was shocked by Helena's reaction, she was very surprised to hear about her education level, oh my gosh, old Helena is not only soft but also stupid !.
She had just aspired to divorce Daniel so that her movement would be easier to take revenge on Francesca who dared to stab her, but without a good paying job, how could she possibly afford to live in this life.
A feeling of rage mingled with frustrations overcame Helena who placed her coffee cup on a tray. Butler Kim took a handkerchief from his pants pocket and wiped a trace of the sprayed coffee on his old face.
He then spoke
"About the copy of the agreement, i am afraid i have to ask Second young master for it Second Young mistress"
"Do i not supposed to keep a copy for myself?"
"This i am not sure, i will call Second Young Master and informed him of this matter"
Helena sighed...
"Never mind, just give me his phone number, i will give him a call" she mention and noticed un easy expression shown on Butler Kim's face..
"or.. he doesn't want me to call him" she asked again then nonchalantly waving her hands
" it s alright, just give him a call and tell him, i request my copy of the agreement, you can go now" she thought for a second..
"wait.. does he hates me?"
"Second Young Mistress, he does not hate you nor like you"
Butler Kim stood up, he then bow leaving Helena on the balcony, he sensed something changes in her, not some, its almost everything, like a brand new woman or rather a different person, she does change, she is no longer looking down towards the floor when she speaks, she sounded more authoritative and he hopes for the better, since he cant no longer keep telling the maids to respect her given her positions when Daniel never seem to get involved in the household matter.
***
The phone rang in the meeting room echoed for a moment, the woman in the black pencil skirt and a white blouse was stunned for a moment, her head turned to find the source of the phone rang when she saw Daniel glanced his phone screen.
He then in front of the employees in the meeting room pressed the silent button and telling the woman in front of the projector to continue her presentation.
The meeting is held to improve the management side of the Casino, they are opening a bidding to change and upgraded the casino management software so the day to day operations will be smoother. He required a multi management software system that will be able to manage casinos, the gaming machines and relatable hospitality the casinos has to offered on site. Self service kiosk to refill the prepaid cards for spending in the casino will minimized human errors by a lot.
After the presentations was done, every of the employees observes Daniel reaction awaiting for feedback, his silent is giving them an anxiety, he stood up and followed by everybody in the meeting room that bowed to him lightly. Clad in his perfectly unwrinkled black suit, his domineering aura and charm is indeed intimidating, female employees still and wont be able to get used to his perfectly handsome face, it is like relieving a moment of whenever they see him for the first time like a time loop.
He walked out of the room without a word and leaving the employees scratching their head in wonder if he agrees or disagree.
Troy as Daniel's Assistant informed them to calm down and submit the paper works for reviewing,
Daniel looked at the text messages sent by Butler Kim regarding Helena request to obtain her copy of the contract agreement, it has been a week and some days since he asked about her conditions, he felt bad for what had happened to her, however he heard that she purposely injuring herself to gain his attention, recalling they still have remaining 2 years before their contract ended, he sent a reply to Butler Kim to give the copy to her. He owed her for this marriage, he is able to get the most desired and highly sought piece of technology that is given to him by the old Master.
And nothing compare to the feeling of controlling "THE EYE", the tracking and face recognitions system.
She is also has always never been in trouble during a year time of their marriage, just this accident was an unfortunate event for her.
