Chapter 5 - 5: You two had kissed? (Revised)


    Danie was walking along the hallway following Anders lead as he escorted her to the room Evan had assigned for her.


    They stopped in front of a wooden brown door and Anders pinned the key into the keyhole and pushed the door opened.


    ''There''s an inte next to the light switch on the wall, if you need something, don''t hesitate to press it,'' Anders said with a friendly smile.


    Danie nodded and entered the room, before closing the door, she looked at Anders instructing a maid.


    She signed and gently closed the door. Her eyes roamed around the four walls of the room and a silent gasp let out from her lips seeing how organized and neat it was.


    The room was almost the same size as her studio apartment. In the center, there''s a queen-size bed covered with cream sheets. A nket with the same style of the pillows was on the bed.


    An indescribable feeling rose in her chest when she felt the same feeling she has whenever she arrives in her apartment, the feeling that she''s part of it like this is her home.


    She rattled her head to remove the thought and walked towards the door she found to her right.


    As she opened it, a medium-size clean bathroom and a bathtub have made her lips to part with excitement, her eyes shone with happiness like first time kid in the yground.


    She immediately turned the water on to fill the tub and removed her clothes. She looked around the bathroom and found a blue towel on the shelves. She was about to pick it up when she heard someone knocking on the door.


    She wrapped the towel around her n.a.k.e.d body and walked with heavy feet towards the door. Her face scrunched up with annoyance as she thought of a person that has the nerve to disturb her.


    She opened the door, and her eyes caught Evan looking down on her. When she raised her head to look at him, she then realized how short she is.


    ''What is it?'' she asked in annoyance.


    ''Did I disturb you?'' he innocently asked, still face so cold as ice.


    Danie took in a deep breath and plucked her lips.


    ''Disturb?'' sheughed sacastically and shook her head.


    ''Are you serious?'' she continued.


    Evan didn''t respond, he just stared at her face with no emotion.


    Knowing that Evan didn''t understand her sarcasm, Danie sighed and decided to be honest.


    ''Mr. Su. You stopped me from sending that asshole to hell and now you interrupted my shower. I should have been on the ne now but no, you have to show up and stop me. Now, I am standing in front of you with a towel over my body and you, oh my god! - you''re asking me if you''re disturbing me?'' she suddenly burst all of her frustration. She''s hungry and tired, all she wanted was toy on the bed with a full stomach.


    ''You seems upset Ms. Chen,'' he said in a robotic tone. And Danie doesn''t know whether he''s faking it or not but his face was like a five-year-old boy looking at his mother and wondering why he''s getting scolded.


    Danie''s shoulder slumped in defeat, she clearly underestimated his level of understanding.


    ''No, Mr. Su. What do you want,'' she cried for help in her mind, hoping for someone to take the man away from her.


    ''You forgot to sign the contract,'' saying that, Evan showed her the folder she dropped earlier in the study room, he handed it to her together with a pen.


    Danie took it and signed it quickly. When she gave it back to him and looked into his eyes, she saw the confusion over his face.


    ''What?'' she asked.


    ''You haven''t read everything,'' he replied.


    ''No need. All I have to do is to look after that spoiled brat for a year, right? That''s all I need to know," before he could reply, she rudely close the door and removed her towel as she ran towards the bathroom.


    When Danie closed the door, Evan''s eyebrow creased by her attitude. He just came to check if she''s fine with the room but after seeing her with a towel around her body, all he could say was that she needed to sign the contract.


    His eyes lowered to her signature on the paper, he sighed and thought of discussing the contract to herter, after dinner. He was not sure if she had read it carefully, but the contract says, she needs to be around Selena all the time which means she needs to live with them.


    His lips twitched as he thought of her behavior, wondering if she will be a good or bad influence to his niece.


    Time past and the sun has finally set.


    In the dining room, Evan was sitting with Selena at the long wooden rectuangle table. Maids were busy serving food while the two were sittingfortably.


    Kirby emerged from the living room with folders in his hand. He was about to speak when a vani scent past him.


    His eyebrow creased and immediately, his head turned to the scent source. He found Danie in avender knee lenght dress walking towards Evan.


    ''Anders said you''ve asked for me?'' he heard her saying casually, her voice was low and soft, enough to make anyone turn their attention at her.


    ''Yes, will you please take a seat,'' Kirby heard his boss talking in a cold voice, his face was looking emotionless at Danie.


    Kirby''s head tilted in confusion, he knows his boss as he has been on his side since he took over thepany and that was seven years ago, he was just an intern back then. And to his experience, his boss was usually calm but right now, he''s seemed to be tensed.


    He was about to speak when Selena has quickly grabbed his arm and dragged him towards the table. She abruptly pushed him to sit on the chair and asked one of the maids to serve him food.


    Kirby sighed in defeat, knowing Selena, she wouldn''t allow him to leave with an empty stomach.


    In the other side, Selena''s face screwed after seeing her newly babysitter, Danie looks so pretty in hervender dress and that''s enough to ruin her appetite, she''s d Kirby came or else she would have eaten her dinner in her room.


    When Selena saw Danie sitting next to her uncle, she mmed both of her hands on the table and angrily got up, her face reddened in pissed as she red at Danie.


    ''Are you not my babysitter? Why are you eating with us?'' she irritably said.


    Danie just looked at her, a faint smile was on her lips. Selena stared into Danie''s eyes, she should feel insulted by her sneer but instead, her skin crawled after seeing her brown eyes turning into green. She gulped repeatedly, her hands started shaking in fear.


    (What''s wrong with her eyes?) she blinked twice to make sure she isn''t seeing things but she was right, Danie''s eyes magically turned from brown to green.


    With her voice stuttering, Selena spoke with exasperation, hiding her fear, ''What are you looking at? Didn''t you hear me? You shall eat your dinner after your employer. You''re getting paid to-'' she was cut off by her uncle. When she turned to Evan, she saw dark shadows underneath his eyes.


    ''Selena,'' her uncler called out her name in a frigid way. She saw that he was about to continue when Danie held Evan''s hand, stopping him.


    Danie got up, her stomach has been grumbling after a long bath, and yet the moment she arrived in the dining area, Evan''s cold face and a whining spoiled brat were the first things she saw.


    When she sat down earlier, all she wanted was to dig in and shove all the food in her mouth but she''s at the stranger''s house. She can''t act like she owned the ce.


    So, she patiently waited for someone to pick up the utensil and start but instead, a spoiled brat ordering her to eatter was spoiling her mood.


    She''s been saying to herself to calm and not to ruin the fease on the table by murdering this family, thest thing she wanted was to waste the food so, she decided to take a deep breath and let her whine but the girl just wouldn''t stop.


    After hearing that her dinner will to be dyed, Danie has lost her patience.


    She held Evan''s hand to stop him from talking and decided to deal with the brat herself.


    As she walked towards Selena with her stomach grumbling in hunger, Danie took the steak knife on the table.


    Her lips pressed in rage. When she had finally reached the girl''s chair, she furiously pulled her up by grabbing her arm, hauled her petite body and hardly pinned her against the wall.


    Danie mmed one of her palms on the wall, not far from Selena''s neck while the other – holding the knife – swirled the knife on her knuckles like she was ying with a pen.


    Danie could see the fear in Selena''s eyes, she leaned closer to her right ear and whispered, ''Don''t ever order me again, especially when I am hungry,''


    Selena swallowed hard, Danie''s voice was even colder and scarer than her uncle.


    Danie continued, ''I am stuck with you just as much you are stuck with me. So let''s make our life easy.''


    Selena tensely nodded, she''s afraid that if she disagrees, Danie might sh her neck with a knife.


    ''Good, now, do what I tell you and I will help you get close with Kirby, deal?''


    Danie''s proposal has made her heart skipped a beat, she doesn''t know how Danie found out about her secret crush to Kirby but just the thought of spending more time with Kirby really excites her.


    ''What about uncle?'' she worriedly asked. She has been trying to get close to Kirby but, her uncle kept on ruining her ns. When all she wanted to do was just to be close to him and get to know him.


    ''Don''t worry. I''ll handle him, so, deal?'' Danie asked her once again.


    Selena nodded and after that, Danie gave her space. She sighed in relief, she really thought that tonight was herst day, Danie really scared her.


    ''Can I call you Auntie?'' she stuttered as she asked.


    Danie irritatedly looked at her, a line appreared in between her eyebrows.


    ''Do I look like someone who would marry your uncle'' Danie suddenly shouted at her, pointing a finger at Evan.


    ''Well, I have another uncle,'' Selena whispered.


    ''We can talk about itter but, no, don''t call me Auntie even if I marry your uncle - the other uncle ok?''


    Selena


    obediently nodded, thinking that maybe, her father''s cousin could be used to distract her new babysitter


    After that, she saw Danie''s expression softened, then she decided to ask about the knife.


    ''Were you really nning to use that knife on me if I don''t agree with you?''


    Danie looked at her, seems to be puzzled by her question.


    ''This Knife?'' Danie asking to confirm, lifting the knife in the air.


    ''Oh! I don''t have a knife for my steak. Oh my! Did you think I will stab you?'' there was a silent gasp of surprise let out from Danie''s mouth, but Selena could see that it was fake.


    ''Don''t worry darling, I don''t want to ruin my steak by murdering you. Anyway, will you please change your clothes? Your body must have been sweating under that snake-skin dress.''


    Selena lowered her sight to her dress, she''s wearing a tight mini dress, it was made from the skin of snakes and Danie was right, her body was indeed sweating under her dress, specifically her legs.


    ''But, I like this dress,'' she replied.


    Danie''s face went t, annoyed by her reply.


    ''Selena, I am your babysitter, not your pimp so change your clothes before I sh it with my steak knife and let Kirby see your undeveloped body,'' Danie''s threatening voice has shivered Selena''s body. She took a step back and rushed out of the room to change her clothes but even though she had left the dining area, she could still hear Danie''s voice, saying, ''Throw that snake dress. Don''t wear clothes made from animals. Understood?''


    Selena stopped from walking and turned to face the living room, aside from here, there was no one around but since the door in the dining room was opened, she was able to hear Danie''s voice.


    ''What do you want me to wear? Leaves?'' she sarcatically replied. She likes wearing clothes from animals, they arefortable and in-style.


    ''Sure, be like Eve''


    Selena just shook her head by Danie''s reply. She would have had liked her if it''s not for her attitude. Danie was acting too manly for her as if she was not ady.


    She decided to change her clothes, she doesn''t want to miss the oppurtunity to dine with Kirby tonight.


    After some time, Selena hade back. She sat on the chair she had earlier and looked at Danie, the woman was eating her steak, and seems like she''s enjoying it.


    When she turned to her uncle, the man was busy tapping on his phone, his utensils were on the te, pointing at 3'' o clock, indicating that he had finished the food.


    ''Mr. Su, people are still eating. Please put your phone down, it''s rude,'' Selena wanted tough when Danie has suddenly scolded her uncle.


    ''It''s a business. I need to reply,'' her uncle replied back.


    Selena just pressed her lips, preventing herself fromughing. Her hands picked up the utensils and start cutting her – now cold steak.


    ''Then answer it outside. Do you want Selena to use her phone while eating?''


    Evan sighed and put his phone back into his pocket.


    ''Fine. Are you happy?''


    ''Very.''


    Selena was skeptical by her uncle''s reply. Her great grandparents have been trying to stop him from using his phone during dinner but her uncle wouldn''t listen to them and somehow her newly-hired babysitter was able to tame her beast-coldhearted uncle.


    In the other side, Danie was pissed by Evan''s rudeness. She was rude herself but when ites to food, she wants everyone to focus and enjoy it. She stayed with the nuns for some years before moving to London, and at the convent, she was taught to cherish the food and appreciate every crumb of the bread, piece of rice and drop of water. So, when she saw Evan leaving a chunk of meat, she could not help but be pissed.


    (Rich people huh!) she sighed and turned to Selena, the girl was timidly eating her food. Selena''s gradual stares at Kirby didn''t escape her sight, her head shook, astounded by the view.


    When Selena looked into her eyes, Danie winked at her, remembering the promised she made earlier.


    She quickly finished up her food and wiped her mouth, then she turned at Kirby, the man has just finished his food.


    ''So, Kirby, how long have you been working with Evan?'' she curiosly asked.


    ''Since I was fifteen so around seven years. I used to help my dad since he was the head of the Financial and one day, Evan saw me and decided to take me as his assistant'' Kirby politely replied.


    ''Oh! So you''re what, 22?'' she asked, confirming his age.


    ''Yes,''


    ''You have a girlfriend?'' Danie straightforwardly asked.


    Kirby almost choked on his water by Danie''s frank manners. He put the ss back on the table and looked at her, eyes were confused.


    ''No,'' he evetually said.


    He heard Selenaughing by his side, he turned with his eyebrows creasing in perplexity.


    ''Oh! you''re just like your boss then,'' Danie blurted without consideration.


    Evan - who has been queit waiting for everyone to finish their food, suddenly turned to Danie, expression remained cold.


    ''Who said I don''t have a girlfriend?'' he irritably asked.


    Danie looked at him with a t face, ''Well, first, you don''t know how to open a door for ady. Second, you don''t have a woman photo in your study room andstly, you''re too cold,'' thest words were almost a whisper, which only Evan could hear.


    Evan stayed staring at Danie, eyes narrowing in frustration, wondering if she''s pissing him off in purpose so he would cancel the contract and continue with her previous n.


    Then, he sneered, alluring eyes were staring at her, drowning her.


    ''I know what you are trying to do, and it''s not going to work. Look, I am not interested in women like you. I am just skeptical why would you have a hidden knife on her leg,'' he was leaning to her direction, whispering those words which only Danie could hear.


    Danie''s narrowed eyes turned from herst piece of steak to Evan, ''Mr. Su, not all women is interested in you. You will never be my type,'' she sized him up and rolled her eyes on him.


    Evan smirked, with the same low tone, he replied, ''Really?''


    ''Yes,'' she replied.


    ''Well, you can say what you want Ms. Chen, but the kiss we shared-''


    ''Hey! You kissed me first!'' Danie shouted, cutting him out. And the moment those words had let out from her lips, all the people in the dining, including the maids who were busy filling the water in the ss – have had their eyes swelled in shock, staring at her.


    Out of nowhere, Selena''s voice broke the deafening quietness in the dining room.


    ''You two had kissed?''
