Chapter 40

"Miss Hester, don't you have work today?" Grace, who looked like she had just come down the stairs, looked at Gob, standing obediently at the bottom of the stairs, his hands folded behind his back with a calm expression on his face. Grace's eyebrows shot up, and then she looked at Gob again with that confused look on her face, the first day of autumn didn't seem to lessen the Gob looking so annoying than usual. How could she not? Gob asked about work almost every day, as if nothing in life happened and was better than work. Grace never thought that Gob would be so in love with a job, thus making herself very dedicated to her current job.

"Ehm, is there a job for me, Mr. Gob?" Grace asked at last, and she seemed to have rolled up her shirt to her elbows walked down the stairs until she was standing right in front of Gob. Gob, who saw Grace in front of him, immediately smiled sweetly.

"Soon, there will be a celebration at Kyle's residence, and Mr. Kyle himself has ordered some of the most expensive wines around the world. Can Miss Hester help me sort the wines according to the length of the year? Because everyone here is doing a lot of work. The task of preparing the banquet. If I had done it myself, it would have taken a very long time,"

Grace nodded in understanding, and it seemed that now Gob needed her help.

"Okay, how many hours do we need to do that, Mr. Gob? Two hours? Three hours?" asked Grace at last. She immediately sat at the dining table and drank the juice there. She knew that the juice was for her.

"Three days," answered Gob.

Grace immediately spit out the juice, then her eyes bulged at Gob with a look of disbelief.

"What?!" shrieked Grace. her face was already bright red, and even her mouth was wet with the juice he had spit out. "Are we moving wine around the city? How can it take three days, Mister Gob?" asked Grace at last.

Seeing Grace's expression like that, Gob seemed to smile. How not, a natural expression that will show to anyone who hears it.

"Mr. Kyle loves wine so much, and he even made a special place in the back cellar to store his wines. All the wines are lined up in chronological order and arranged very neatly. So that's how it is, Miss Hester."

"If there is a myriad of wines full, why did Nick have to buy new wines and even set them in three days? I'm confused by how many guests were invited to tonight's banquet,"

"Because they will get a gift in the form of wine, and after all, Mr. Kyle is a wine lover from the start. He likes to collect the best wines in the world. So he will take the wines to his residence no matter what happens,"

Grace seemed to understand, and then she looked at Gob again with a confused look. How not, the atmosphere of the house looks very quiet.

"Still, Mr. Gob. Are you sure you want to make dinner at his house? I mean, you can see for yourself what Kyle's house looks like. Not like a very comfortable and beautiful dwelling. It's like an old spooky castle, even Mr. Gob knows, this house. Really like a castle in a ghost movie. It's very scary in every corner, from the color of the interior, furniture and lighting. Do you agree with my opinion, Mr. Gob?" she asked.

The Gob, who saw a figure already standing behind Grace, couldn't answer anything. How not? Imagine if he answered. Surely that figure would fire him right now.

"So, what do you think is the right color for the interior design of this house?"

Grace shrieked in surprise. How could she not? It turned out that behind her was Nicholas. She didn't expect that Gob didn't say that at all to her, then Grace looked at Gob with an annoyed look, making Gob choose to lower his face perfectly.

"White, can this house be painted white? Instead of me saying pink, I think white would be much better. Then give it lighter, so it doesn't sound dark and scary. Wouldn't that be better?" Grace said, giving an idea.

"But I don't like bright things, and white isn't my color. Especially bright lights, I don't like any of that, Grace."

Grace seemed speechless, and then she nodded her head perfectly. What Nicholas decided was the right one. After all, this wasn't Grace's residence, so it would be very funny for Grace to interfere so deeply.

"Yes, I know and know very well, Mr. Kyle. This is not my realm, more than that, and I shouldn't have interfered with this matter. Alright, now I'm going with Mr. Gob to take care of your favorite wines. I'll make sure if there aren't any broken bones. However, may I ask for one?" Grace asked with a happy expression on her face. Nicholas seemed to nod his head, and then he kissed the top of Grace's head affectionately.

"Whatever, take the best, as much as you want, Grace."

Grace smiled again, and then she nodded her head excitedly. It was very pleasant to get expensive wine from Nicholas' collection and drink it at night by sipping it slowly until they finished it from the Crystal glass in her hand. Grace had already imagined how perfect the evening would be for her.

"Thank you, Mr. Kyle. I can't wait to enjoy it with Mr. Gob."

"What? Mr. Gob?" surprised Nicholas. How not? Nicholas has even planned a sweet thing. He thought if Grace asked for the wine, he could enjoy it with himself. That's why Nicholas said to take the best wine he had. However, how could Grace even want to enjoy the wine with Gob? A thing that makes Nicholas jealous is not playing.

"Of course, it's Mr. Gob and me who work on arranging the wines. So how can I not enjoy it with Mr. Gob? Your questions do get weird sometimes, Nick."

The Gob, who seemed to see the sinister expression of Nicholas, was also a bit scared. He didn't want to deal with trouble just because of a trivial thing.

"Miss Hester, it seems you don't have to share that expensive wine with me. Wouldn't it be better if you enjoyed it with Mr. Kyle? That would be much better."

Nicholas seemed to be smiling while folding his arms across his chest. He looked at Grace with a confident look on his face.
