Chương 44: To FA
_28_ Jace Dreice Scott's Point of View
I sat up and opened my phone, I was still a little dazzled because the room was dark, I saw Lavalee's name so I frowned and answered it
[Ohayo! By the way, I called to inform you that I'm going to Frostwood Academy.] She said so I got up
"I'm coming," I said and immediately took clothes from the container
[Eh? Are you sure? You won't study for your family's business?] He asked as I frowned
"What? How did you know that?" I asked her and entered the bathroom
[Connections. Anyways, are you sure you'll be coming with me?] she replied
"Yes, wait for me," I said and hung up
That girl better has waited for me or else she'll regret it.
I took a quick shower and brushed my teeth before wearing a white shirt and pants. I went out of the room after wearing my shoes.
"Are you scared of me leaving you behind?" she teased me but I just hissed at her
I ignored her and sat on the couch and tied my rubber shoes before standing up.
"Manang," she called the head of the maids
"Yes, young lady?" the old woman immediately asked
"You should take the week off. Don't worry you still would be paid." Lavalee said and smiled
"Are you sure, young lady? I'm sure Master Frost will not be delighted at that idea." The old maid said and bowed
"Don't worry about Nii-sama. It's fine besides it's about time we learn to do household chores anyway." She replied and the old maid bowed before leaving
"Butler Jon." She said and pressed the intercom on the wall beside the TV
A little later, the butler she called arrived.
"Tell the other butlers to take the week off," Lavalee said
"Pardon, young lady Lavalee but I can't follow your order. Master Frost strictly told us that the maximum number of butler that would take the week off would be one-third of the current numbers." Butler Jon replied
"But we have bodyguards too." Lavalee reasoned out
"I'm sorry, young lady but I can't defy master Frost." He said and bowed
"Okay, I'll tell you once Frost agrees." She replied and the butler bowed and left
I was a little confused when she started pressing some buttons on the remote and a little later the snowflake-like figurine at the middle of the table glowed
"Ohayo, Nii-sama!" Lavalee greeted
"Ohayo, Furamerine, Scott." I looked at Mr. Frost Hanazono when he said my last name
"Good Morning, Mr. Hanazono," I replied
"Naze denwa shita?" his gaze returned to Lavalee
"I'm going to send all the butlers on a week off," Lavalee said
"Doshite?" he asked her
I stood up and bowed before going back to the room I'm occupying and took my charging phone and brought my wallet and car keys. When I came out I saw that Lavalee was still discussing with her brother so I went to the kitchen.
"Where is the young lady, why isn't she with you, sir?" the head maid asked me
I chose not to answer so she looked at me and smiled while laughing softly.
"The young lady and the master are arguing again, what?" the head maid asked while cooking and looked at me again. I nodded at her when she looked at me.
"You know, sir, I have been serving the Hanazonos for a long time, the young lady and master were young and I was their maid," she narrated and I leaned on the wall.
"I still remember being with Master Frost when he was on a field trip. Almost five years passed before they returned to their mother's country." She said and suddenly she looked sad
"I noticed that you and the young lady are close, please, Son, be patient with the young lady." I was a little surprised when she said that.
"Yes? Why?" I asked
"Because she is the one who strengthens Master Frost and maintains communication with their siblings. Alas, without the young lady, Master Frost would not have known how to balance his studies and care for their siblings. " She said and took out what was being cooked
"Where are their parents?" I asked but I remembered that they're gone
"Never mind," I recovered because the maid was obviously sad
"Manang, Nii-sama agreed!" Lavalee said after getting here
"I won against Nii-sama, manang!" Lavalee announced while hopping in glee
I'm a bit curious how she could jump while wearing heels. This woman is unpredictable.
"Your brother loves you very much." The head maid said
"Manang Fe," Lavalee said
"I'm telling the truth, child. Master Frost loves you very much. " The head maid said
"Anyways, Manang, take care, okay? I know Butler Jin along with Keisha and Lesley will take care of you, but still," Lavalee said and my forehead knotted when she mentioned her Butler's name and two unfamiliar names.
"I will stay at our house in Tagreesha if you want to visit once." The head maid told Lavalee and I saw how Lavalee pouted and hugged her
"You know I can't, Manang. It's dangerous. " Lavalee said and the head maid smiled before ruffling her hair. Lavalee released the head maid from the hug and smiled.
I'm quite surprised at her closeness with the head maid because I was kind of thinking that she cares about someone's status in life and she's surrounded by people with high status but she proved me wrong.
Once again.
"Oh hey, you might be late where you're going. This is your breakfast and I have already prepared your lunch for you." The head maid said and we helped her place the plates on the table
"Have you eaten, Manang?" Lavalee asked the old lady before sitting
"Yes, butlers and maids and I ate together earlier." The head maid replied before going back to the kitchen.
We ate in silence until the head maid returned and placed two lunchboxes on the table. She even placed two wallet-like cylinders above it.
"Aww Arigatou, Manang," Lavalee said and opened the lunch box
"What are those?" I asked her
"It's our lunch. Even though we'll be going to FA, we can't just eat in the cafeteria." Lavalee replied
"Can you carry those?" The head maid asked and Lavalee nodded
"What if I add this?" the head maid asked and placed six bottles.
"I can carry it," I said and the head maid smiled
"This one is for you," the head maid said and handed me a lunch box and three bottles of different drinks.
Lavalee opened the bottle and smelled it.
"With the formula, manang?" Lavalee asked
"Of course," The head maid said and Lavalee smiled.
After we ate, Lavalee smiled at the old woman before going to her room probably to brush her teeth and I went to the room I'm occupying and brushed my teeth.
After brushing my teeth, I went out and went to the dining room. I took the lunch boxes and bottles, I don't know what formula Lavalee was talking about earlier so I separated our bottles.
"Are you leaving?" the head maid asked and I nodded
"Bye, Manang," Lavalee said when she passed by here
I went to the garage and saw that Lavalee's still standing with her arms crossed.
"Problem?" I asked and stood beside her
"Nii-sama said Ares will accompany us." She said
"So? What's the matter?" I asked her
"We're riding that convoy." She said and pointed at the black cars that surround a limousine. I held her hand and brought her there
"I want to escape them you know." She said which made me smirk
"You love escaping," I said and we stopped in front of the limousine
"Heya, Lav!" A man came out of the car and waved at Lavalee
"What are you doing here, Ares?" Lavalee asked
"Pissing you," the guy she called 'Ares' replied
Why does Lavalee know too many guys?
"Then go bother Nii-sama." Lavalee said in exasperation
"He's flirting with someone in his office," he said which made Lavalee's eyes widen
"My Nii-sama? Flirting with someone?" Lavalee asked like she can't believe it.
"Yeah, I'm telling you," The guy said then looked at me and Lavalee alternately then between us and that's when I noticed that I haven't let go of her hand and Lavalee had already entwined hers.
"It turns out you are too." The guy 'Ares' said while looking at me
"Baka! He's not… We're not flirting." Lavalee said
"As you say so, no need to be too defensive," the guy was supposed to touch Lavalee's hair but I held his hand to stop him from doing so
"Damn, I am surrounded by lovers." He said and placed his hand in his pockets.
"Then go back to Zyrene, dumbass!" Lavalee exclaimed, I held her hand tight to warn her about cussing.
"Let's go. We'll be late." She said and sighed before riding the limo
I sat beside her and the Ares guy sat on the side.
"Bro, how naughty is Lav?" he asked me but I ignored him
"Seriously, Lavalee? Why are all the guys in your life cold?" he asked
"Probably because I'm too hot, duh! But kidding aside, Icarus and Jaxith are the exemption," Lavalee replied
"Literally," I added
"Bro, why do you talk to Lavalee, but not to me?" the guy said
"I don't talk to strangers," I said
"Bro, I'm Ares Archangel, her brother's best friend, and their second cousin." the 'Ares' guy introduced
"Jace Scott," I replied
"Dreice, literally," Lavalee said in a teasing tone
"What dry ice are you talking about?" Ares asked
"D-R-E-I-C-E. Dreice." Lavalee said and spelling my name out
"You two are something, Flamelinne, and Dreice. Fire and Ice." Ares said
