Chapter 29 - Chapter 29

A black car seems has to arrived to its destination. He then tried to call her again, but this time she did not picked it up. He continued to do it again but still got the same response from her. He stared at the house in front of him and then after unsuccessful tries to call her, he somehow became a little frustrated. The house looked a little older than what he last saw it but still he took his courage to go to the house. He then put his phone in his pocket and walked towards the house as he wanted to ring the bell.

Suddenly, a woman with a maid outfit on then greeted him politely as she offered him a cup of tea. He was confused back then but still he accepted the woman's offer. He was escorted to the living room as she silently asked him to sit on the sofa. Sitting on the sofa in a huge living room, he began to see a lot of Monica's picture in the house. It was lonely but still there was a little presence of her in this house.

Then, he did not noticed the maid has already served him the tea that was on the table. He then sneak a glance at her as she slowly walked away and he took a sip of the tea while waiting for the maid to ask him something. But, the maid did not. She kept quiet and when those two coincidentally stared at each other, she put on her polite smile without any noises.

After waiting for a whole hour, he suddenly ran out of his patience and asked the maid. "Is this Miss Monica's house?" The simple question shocked a little out of the maid and then she nodded. He asked again. "Do you know where are she now?" She looked at him again and finally speak. "I did not know, sir." He was feeling a bit awkward from her being too polite. He looked at her, and then he asked again, "Why're you wearing a maid outfit? Are you cosplaying?" The maid then giggled as she gently covered her mouth when she was laughing. "I am not, sir. This is my formal outfit." He then got confused. He looked at her again with her kept showing her polite smile to him.

He frowned. "Hmm, Miss.. Then who are you? Why are you in her house? He glared at her. The maid then lowered her smile and rubbed off her maid dress as she finally sat on the sofa properly. She then took her cup of tea and took a sip. "You are asking about who am I? Aren't you confused about yourself, sir?"

Hearing that from her, he began to stare her more intensely as she still calmly drank her tea. She then put down her cup and she said, "Sir, the things you're looking for are not here. And the things you already can find out are already there." He flinched. The maid then came close to him as she patted his shoulder. "Please drink your tea, sir. After that, I will see you off at the entrance." She then went to the door where she escorted him in while he still could not grasp what are actually she was telling. But then, he drank his tea and walked towards her as then he entered his car. There she gave him a polite smile when she saw him off and quietly close the door.

He suddenly felt a chill from leaving the house. He then took out his phone and he was shocked to see that it was ten hours after he went into the house. He still could not believe then, he asked his bodyguard. "Sam, how many hours has it after I entered the house?" Sam then looked at him through the front mirror as he was still driving. "Hmm..I wasn't sure but, certainly it has been 10 hours after you entered the house, young master."

His eyes widen up as the car already far away from the house and then he was shocked to the hell out.

His phone was ringing. He then looked at the name on his phone and he smiled. It was Monica! She finally called back. "Hello, Mon.." She sounded like really tired as she finally speak, "Mike? Oh, my.. I am sorry. I think I was a little overreacted because of the stress. Are you okay?" Mike still smiled as he was so happy she finally called herself down. "No..no. It's okay, besides it also my fault too. How are you?" He can hear she was giggling from his phone. "I'm sorry, it's just.. You're too quick to forgive me.. I'm fine, but no actually fine. I was so stressed out because of work. And I still couldn't used to it." He sighed. "Mon, if you're tired.. It's okay to take a little break. Besides, I am worried about you."

She was shocked and then she smiled, "Haha.. Okay. But, Mike.. Why're you calling me this morning?" He heard that from her, he then finally remembered to tell her about that. "Mon, that's because I am so worried about you. Then, I tried to call you over and over again. But you didn't picked it up. So I went to your house to check you out, but you weren't there." She then sighed. "Mike, sorry. I was at my workplace so, I'm kinda busy at that time. I was totally didn't noticed my phone was ringing."

When they totally enjoyed talking to each other, Sam then stopped the car. Mike then looked at him as he were giving Sam the sign 'Why're you stopping?'. Sam then told him with a low voice, "We have arrived to your private house, sir." Mike then nodded his head and asked Sam to leave him alone. Sam then nodded as he quietly went out of the car and went to the doorway. "Mon, I have arrived at my house. Later, can we talk again?" He waited for her answer, "Oh, Mike.. I.. I can't. I have a lot of work right now so, next time, okay?" Mike was a little disappointed but still he understood her situation. "Oh, is that so? Okay, hope to see you next time.." She then ended her call.

He put his hand at his face. He sighed deeply. Suddenly, a knock shocked him a little. He looked through the window, Sam was pointing at his watch. Mike understood it and finally got out of his car as he still wondering about what the maid told him.
