The House Next Door

"Hi, morning Geoffrey," Bella smiled back at him. "You're out this early?"

"Yes. We just returned from the market to buy ingredients for lunch..." Geoffrey explained.

Geoffrey was not supposed to buy them himself. But his Master urged him not to make any mistakes. So, he didn't have a choice but to accompany the chef.

"Ah..." Bella could only give him a sympathetic smile, feeling sorry for Geoffrey; he had to be busy. 

"Please let him know we will arrive at eleven."

"Yes, mam." 

Bella smiled at Geoffrey, then excused herself and entered her house gate.

....

Geoffrey drove his car back to their house. After helping the chef and maid unload their stuff, he immediately entered the house to wait for his Master to wake up.

However, when Geoffrey entered the living room area, he was surprised to see Tristan sitting on the sofa while reading something on his iPad.

'Huh!? Master already awake?'
