6 Following him II

Jungle? He is announcing, he is taking me to the jungle, but from where has he picked me? Does he think that place is better than a jungle? or he thinks, there is no hunter and prey exist? That area contains all kinds of characters, a victim, an abuser and a deceiver. On the surface, It demonstrates like heaven but when you walk in the depth of it, you will find that place is an actual hell. Sometimes, it becomes as merciless as a witch, she is an eye witness of few odious incidents, once a dunker father sold her daughter for a small amount of money, a mother who is offering herself every night only to feed her child and so many.

"Are you scared now?" Noah asked.

As she heard his voice, she dissolved thinking and looked at him "No sir, I'm not."

"Do you want to quit? Do it if you are afraid because this is your last time." Wearing a smirk on his face he hissed.

"No sir, I'm absolutely not scared nor I want to quit." Her voice had risen, it was louder than her usual pronunciation. However as she realized her improper tone, she hastily apologized "I'm sorry."

"Let me tell you, the first and last rule to survive there.Stay.royal.to.me." 

"Yeah sir."

"Your words don't have enthusiasm, Why don't you swear on someone you love more than your life."

"Sir, I don't have anyone who is more important to me than my life." She answered without even thinking a bit.

"My..My..Then, Do you treasure your life?"

 "I do, Sir."

"You are following me for money. don't you?"

"I'm, Sir."

He knows from the start, she is a straightforward person but this much trueness is really praiseworthy. "So, you can betray me for wealth." 

She perceived the meaning of his fluent statement. He is not asking but directly declaring that she will cheat, so he doesn't have trust on me, well, it's not unusual. "Sir, I will be satisfied with the salary given by you." she replied.

"Of course, If you dare to cheat me, I will kill you. Ah... it's so simple." 

One glance at those staring eyes was enough to confirm that the man who was sitting right opposite of her was burning with gleeful zeal. Zoe deemed the heat of his erect statement and left a deep death then she replied while looking at his eyes with confidence and clearness "I believe Sir, you will never find that opportunity." Since she is only hoping to obtain a life where she can fulfill her essential needs, then there is no point to deceiving him.  

"That'll be good for you."

"Yeah, sir." 

Noah grinned and turned his head towards the window. He was quite pleased with every answer, she is plain-spoken, tedious, and cunning and the best part of her which he found really attractive was emotionlessness, she held each type of characteristics that were necessary to win his attention. In the jungle, it raises the chance of survival if people learn to compress their feelings. 

He was drowning in deep thinking. Whereas, she was sitting there while remaining silent and manners. And after departing an hour they reached his mansion. 

Noah left her with the butler as soon as they arrived. 

"Hello Miss, I'm Richard Robert." He introduced himself. Though he was the head servant of such a wealthy house, he didn't forget to show politeness towards her, his tone was extremely soft as if he was talking with his master.

Zoe looked down and noticed her clothes, then stared at Mr. Richard's face "Hello Sir, I'm Zoe Gillan." She preferred to stay respectful with him because even if he was working as a servant but surely he must have so much power and wealth in his hands.

"Miss, please don't call me sir." With the tenderness and humble attitude he requested.

"Sir, but you are the senior." She replied.

"It has nothing to do with age, it's all about positions, so you should call me Mr. Richard or butler Richard."

She didn't know what kind of job she was going to do, and how high or low the position she would get, it was still a question. However she didn't wish to debate him so she agreed without arguing "Yeah, Mr. Richard."

"Then I will take you to your room."

"Yeah, please''

After walking they reached her new room and it was bigger than her apartment. Infact, the room was as big as it could have contained the double area compared to her old place. 

"Miss, master will come back soon, so until then please rest" after informing her Old butler leaves from there.

Zoe walked towards bed, sitting there she analysed the doctoration of the room, every item was classic and antique there, though all things were looking simple but they all would definitely be expensive. Besides, the bed was extremely soft, in her entries life she didn't touch as pulpy mattress as it was. A huge mirror was attached to the wall and it was set right front of bed. However, the atmosphere was too quiet and peaceful and her body was being heavy, each part of her system was hurting. She leaned on the bed to gain some relief and closed her eyes and fell asleep without even realizing.
