Get along
“What’s your business?” The word kept echoing in his head, like he hadn’t heard it before.
He smirked before saying, “What’s my business? You’ve really grown wings, haven’t you, Bunny?”
“Don’t call me that.” She said, looking away from him. She just hates it whenever he calls her that.
She could feel that he was walking closer to her; she felt like running up the stairs to her room, but she knew the man would surely catch her before she even have the opportunity to get to her room.
She moved back slowly before stopping; she looked up to him and said, “Nothing like this was in the contract. You, asking me where I go or who I see. None of it was in the contract.”
“It might not be, but I’m adding it now. So you do what I tell you to do, bunny. He said, teasing her with the name again.
She became even more pissed. She couldn’t take it any longer. “What if I don’t want any of this anymore? What if I want the contract terminated?” She asked.
“Then give me two million dollars now.” He said with a teasing smile. He knew that she couldn’t get that kind of amount, which meant no termination of the contract.
“Huh? Where did you want me to get that?” She asked.
“You were the one who wanted the contract terminated. Didn’t you read the contract before signing? He asked with a smile, but the girl did not say anything.
“Little Bunny, you should start learning how to obey your dear master.” He said, moving his hand to her tummy, but she pushed it away before he could touch her.
He smiled lightly before walking up the stairs. He left her there alone, standing in anger.

The next few days went the same way as the other days. His weird smile that always got her so mad, feeding her during lunch, and also his non-stop teasing.
Throughout the week, Sam also tried calling her, but she didn’t pick up the call. She later sent him a message, saying that she would explain everything to him and that he should just give her time.
On Saturday. She took her bath and went downstairs to eat her breakfast. She was happy when the maids told her that Alex wasn’t around.
After eating, she went back to her room and pressed her phone till she fell asleep.
She woke up again and felt really bored and tired, so she just decided to go downstairs and bake a cake. But when she got to the kitchen, the maids refused to let her do it by herself.
They took the flour from her and told her they would do it. She sighed and went to the sitting room to have a seat. “It would have been more fun if I had done it myself,” she thought.
She hadn’t used up to five minutes in the living room when someone suddenly opened the door. “Oh, you’re here; I was hoping you’d be in your room.” Maya said, coming towards her with a smile.
Ellie stood up immediately. She wasn’t expecting to see the girl, and she didn’t even know how to start a conversation when the girl was almost sitting beside her.
“Hey! Your brother isn’t home, but you can wait for him.” Ellie said awkwardly; she was also ashamed of how she was talking. She thought of going back to the room instantly before she heard.
“Yeah. I know he’s not home. I came here for you.” Maya said with a smile, looking up at the lady, who was shocked to hear her.
“What exactly is this girl’s problem? Why do I feel like her smile is fake? She’s just like her brother.” Different thoughts kept going through her mind as she was looking at Maya.
Maya also noticed her fear and said, with a smile, “Please sit down. It’s not like I’m going to hurt you. I just want to make friends.”
Ellie felt embarrassed about thinking badly of Maya. “I’m so sorry for acting that way. You looked so strict when I first saw you.” Ellie said with a smile, which also got Maya to laugh.
“I know, right. I’m always like that to strangers. I don’t like to be friendly at first,” Maya said back.
“I was so surprised to see a woman here in my brother’s house, even when I’m not allowed to come here without his permission, but when I got to know about your pregnancy, I was really happy our bloodline wouldn’t stop on my brother.”
“Hmm,” Ellie said, keeping quiet for a little while before asking. “Is he that strict?” Ellie asked.
“Don’t even get me started on that.” Maya said.
“I can’t believe he’s that wicked to his own sister,” Ellie said. They continued talking and were getting along.
Almost all their conversation was about Alex and his behavior.
Maya came to the house when Alex wasn’t home because she thought about getting along with her. She knows that her brother has a soft corner for Ellie, and if she wants to keep coming anytime, she has to make friends with her.
After about an hour, A maid interrupted their talking and told Ellie the cake was ready. The maids served them the cakes and went back to their duties.
“I’m so happy to finally have someone I could talk to in this house. Everything is just so boring; even the maids are so unfriendly,” Ellie said, laughing.
“What? You tried to make friends with the maids?” Maya asked with a chuckle. “Then I don’t want to imagine how boring it would be.”This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
“Yeah, I just thought of making friends since they’re all ladies, and I don’t want to be alone. But none of them could say more than two words.”
Maya looked at her before her gaze shifted to her neck. She looked at the mark, which was almost fading, and smiled.
She knew the maids didn’t talk to her because of the mark on her neck. They must have been scared of their Luna. “Maybe they just want to maintain the boss’ relationship,” Maya said, while Ellie just nodded her head in agreement.
“Do you have a boyfriend?” Maya suddenly asked; she wanted to know what the girl feels about her brother, but she was a bit disappointed seeing how Ellie was giving her an awkward smile, which already gave her answers.
She decided to just talk about another thing instead. They kept talking and laughing without keeping track of the time, when suddenly the door opened and two men walked in.
As soon as he saw them sitting together, he felt like his head was empty for a while. “What did I tell you?! Why are you here?!” Alex asked in anger.
“Oh Brother! You’re here. We were just talking about you.” Maya stood up from the chair and said it with a smile.
Alex was so angry to hear what she said after his question; he knew that she was trying to act like she didn’t hear him. He was about to walk closer to her to drag her out when he heard.
“The both of you should just relax,” Callum said.
He walked closer to where Ellie was standing and said, “I’m Callum. It’s nice to finally meet you in a normal way.” He said, pointing his hands towards her. He was referring to how awkward they’ve been meeting, especially the second time he saw her in the office.
Ellie was so embarrassed to see the man, especially when she heard what he said; she knew what he was talking about, and she also couldn’t stop thinking about that day and also the fact that he was her former boss, and she had to meet him in an awkward way. “I’m Ellie; it’s nice to meet you.” She managed to say.
“Don’t mind the both of them. They fight like cats and dogs.” Callum said it with a smile but stopped when he heard. “What do you think you’re doing?” He quickly dropped her hand to avoid getting into trouble with the man, who was already glaring at him.
