CHAPTER TWO

Joshua's eyes almost narrowed when he recognized the replacement his father got for him. He could not see any beauty with the same replacement. He never thought his father would get a man.

"I thought you were going to be happy because I already found a replacement for Nadia?" Don Emilio asked immediately when he saw the young man's disappointed face.

"How can I be happy? You replaced Nadia with a man!" Joshua said in a questioning manner. "Looks like he cannot handle what I am going to ask him to do."

"Why don't you try him first before you judge him?" Don Emilio asked. "He is a professional butler."

"Professional butler my ass. Let's see if he can handle what I am going to do to him," Joshua said while looking at Kylie who looked manly again at that time. "Hey you!"

"Yes, My Lord?" Kylie immediately asked the young man.

"Fight me," Joshua ordered immediately. "It is up to me to decide if you will serve me as my butler or Dad will send you home right away."

"As you wish, My Lord," Kylie replied.

Kylie already calculated everything so she was not even surprised when Joshua  suddenly kick her. A smirk was seen on her lips especially when she saw that the young man's fighting stance was weak and it was too open. She did not even bother to put her body on the defense especially even if she could see his intentions to hurt her. Thanks to her quick reflexes, she was able to avoid the young man immediately. She  just followed the timing of the young man's movements and then she gave him a strong blow to the stomach which caused him to collapse immediately. One more weak 'tsk' escaped her lips as she saw the outcome of their fight. She did not even use the moves she often used as an assassin. She thought the young man was embarrassed by what he did because he immediately gave her a bad look.

As expected, Joshua attacked her again without even thinking. She could not blame the young man because he was angry. Well, she was still a kind lady so she did not let the young man feel embarrassed just because of the stupid thing he did. To save Joshua from further embarassment, she immediately grabbed and twisted his arm before she pushed him to the ground. Joshua let out a sharp cry as a protest against her.

"Now, Young Master, did I pass your test or not?" Kylie's whispered in a soft, but stubborn tone. "It will be a shame if you reject me as your butler."

Don Emilio's grin widened when he saw that the young man was having a hard time answering Kylie's question. He thought he  found someone who could discipline his own son Joshua. He was not surprised when the said butler gave Joshua a playful grin.

"Do not make an open attack especially when you cannot handle your opponent," Kylie said with an evil grin. "Young Master."

Joshua felt annoyed at what Kylie said. He was even more annoyed when he was called 'young master' ian annoying manner. The young man was about to grab his butler when Don Emilio gave him a warning glare.

"You should know how to calm your horses down," Don Emilio said. "You're not going to win with Kyle because like I said, I hired a professional butler just to discipline you."

Joshua did not speak anymore and he  gave Kylie a heated glare. The 'young man' reciprocated it with a smirk that made him even more annoyed. He chose to leave the room rather than let his new butler see his annoyance and defeat him there and then.

"I guess you already know that my son is an ass," Don Emilio said simply to Kylie.

"You should thank me because I have not punished your spoiled child yet," Kylie stoically replied as Kyle. "I might give him a hard time."

"I don't mind if you whip him in the ass," said Don Emilio. "If that is the only way to discipline him. You have my consent."

"Well, I will kill him once he tries to get inside my pants," Kylie threatened.

"Go ahead, I don't mind if you'll do that thing," Don Emilio said jokingly.

Kylie took a deep breath at what she heard, "Yeah sure. You have a weird sense of being a family."

Don Emilio just smiled at what the girl said. Of course, what he said was not a big deal to him especially as his main objective was to educate his only son. He was willing to use any means to do it. Joshua might be cursing him right now, but he was sure his son would understand his intentions in the near future.

Morning came and Kylie found herself in an embarassing situation. She was in front of Joshua's room as she was given the task to wake the young lad from his deep sleep. She was debating if she would wake him up in a normal manner or not. She gave out an annoyed sigh before she gave a soft knock.

As expected, Joshua did not answer her knocks. She made a mental count before she opened the door by force.

Kylie shook her head when she saw Joshua Carriedo still lying and sleeping  soundly on his big bed. She could tell that the man looked like an angel while he was sleeping, but that was when his eyes were not open.

'Young Master my ass. TSS,' that immediately entered her mind when she approached the young man.

Since there was a blanket at the foot of the young man's bed,she  took it. She used her strength to separate it from the young man's body. As expected, she was able to throw the young man out of his big bed. She let out a weak chuckle because she succeeded in waking up her young master.

On the other hand, Joshua was angry with his butler again. His beautiful dream was ruined because a monster decided to destroy it by force. That monster is his own butler, Kyle Legazpi.

"What ?! Is that the proper way to wake me up?!" Joshua's angry question to Kylie.

"That depends on my master's dealings with me," Kylie replied blankly. "I don't think you even know that I broke the door of your room."

Joshua immediately turned to the door. Shock is written all over his face when he saw his bedroom door was opened by force. It did not break down into pieces, but he could tell that a replacement was needed.

"What the fuck did you do ?! Why did you break down my door ?! Don't you know that's more expensive than your life, Kyle ?!" Joshua asked continuously.

"More expensive than my life? Oh come on, I can afford that door," Kylie said in an arrogant tone. "My life is more precious than that door you are so proud of."

"Eh why did yoy break down the door ?!" Joshua asked.

"I have no intention of destroying that. It's just a coincidence that I am tired of calling you so I forced the door to get in here," Kylie replied. "And no, I do not know where the key is. I was lazy to look for it. Thank you."

Joshua was just stunned when he heard Kylie's statement, "Is Dad sure you are a professional butler?"

"He would not pay my price if he knew I am not a professional. He was even willing to increase his payment to me when I have a headache with you. Don't worry, Master knows what I'm doing to you," she told him. "He even gave me the signal to discipline you."

"This is unbelievable Kyle!"

"Well, if you don't want me to be rude to you, get ready. Get ready and Master is waiting for you downstairs," Kylie ordered the young man.

Joshua could no longer speak at the overwhelming annoyance he felt that morning. He felt like herllis face was going to explode because of the excessive redness. He just smiled when he saw a piece of the dart on his side table. He picked it up right away and threw it at his butler.

"Don't show me how spoiled you are, Young Master," Kylie said smiling as she effortlessly caught the dart pieces thrown at her. "One more dart thrown at me and I'll stab you without difficulty."

"KYLE, where is Joshua? I thought I could have breakfast with him," Don Emilio said as soon as he saw the butler at the dining table.

"He's coming, Master," Kylie replied.

"Well, he did not do anything weird to you?" Don Emilio asked immediately.

"Aside from the fact that he threw  darts at me, he did not do anything else against me," Kylie replied. "He knew that I could knock him out at once."

"That's unusual. Usually, he--"

Kylie immediately interrupted what old Carriedo would say, "I do not think he will think of anything weird after I break down his bedroom door."

The said lady was not surprised when the old man laughed. She was sure that he was very happy with what she did to the young Carriedo. Well, she was still paid as a professional butler so she had to do her job well.

"You are proving to me that my son is nothing against you in terms of strength," Don Emilio said. "Good job."

"Flattery won't take us anywhere, Master," Kylie said. "I am just doing my job as a perfect butler."

Don Emilio just smiled before he even handed a paper to Kylie, "That's the schedule of what Joshua will do today. Make sure he can do all that."

"Yes, Master."

They both  looked in Joshua's direction when they heard violent steps coming from here. They did not  even notice his grumpy aura was obvious at the time. Kylie just bowed and did what she was supposed to do as the young man's butler even though it was against her will.

"Good morning son," Don Emilio immediately greeted his son.

"There's nothing good this morning because of a certain bastard," Joshua said, annoyed while giving Kylie a heated glare.

"Language young man," the old Carriedo reminded immediately. "We're in front of the food now."

Kylie just ignored the glare Joshua threw at her and instead she outlined what the young man's schedule would be that day. She immediately grabbed the young man's shoulder to make sure he would not lose his temper.

"Dad, are you serious about this ?!" Joshua immediately asked the father. "You filled my schedule now!"

"Life isn't about partying son. It is high time for you to grow and man up," Don Emilio replied. "Kyle is there to guide you in what you will do today."

"But Dad ---"

"No more buts, just do what's on your schedule so you won't have any more difficulties," said Don Emilio.

As expected, Joshua had no choice but to follow the list because he has a butler who will not hit him.

"Fine, I'll do it."
