Meeting Him Unexpectedly

Benson halted as he put his palm on his mouth, taken aback because of what he heard. "Young Miss, are you sure?" he asked.

Athasia turned around as she twisted the doorknob. "Yes, I am serious in looking for one.." she was about to walk in when she said something again. "Don't tell them that I am the Rymerton's daughter.."

Benson nodded his head and walked away.

The Young Miss walked inside and dropped herself on the soft bed. She again stared blankly at the ceiling, recalling what happened a while ago.

She admits that she's still not ready to meet her father this early. Because truthfully, she really wanted to avoid Alexis Rymerton in the best way.

As littleyoonie, she wrote that scene with a grin on her face. Just by delivering emotions to the chapter was already making her expect sad comments from her readers.

But after experiencing the real character, she couldn't help but feel stingy inside her heart.

Littleyoonie grabbed her chest. She released a heavy sigh. "Now I pity Athasia…" she mumbled.

She kept that thought until she fell asleep, forgetting to take a bath.

When Athasia woke up, it was already evening. Benson knocked on her door and asked her to eat dinner.

The Young Miss changed into a sky blue dress before walking outside. She didn't tie her hair. She let it flutter along the way as she trailed the stairs down.

The servants lined side by side and greeted their Young Miss. After seeing Athasia waving her hand, everyone scattered like ants, going back to their stations.

As soon as she sat down, the house chef served her dinner.

Athasia looked forward and saw the empty seats in front of her eyes. The table was long with six chairs, but it felt bigger because she's alone.

"How about father?"

The house chef flinched. He clenched the tray he's been holding and bowed his head. "The master has not yet returned to the mansion, Young Miss.."

Athasia got surprised by her own words. She even fell silent for a second before opening her lips again. "I see.."

The house chef bowed his head and went back to the kitchen.

Athasia picked up the spoon and took a spoonful of the food served in front of her. However, when she was about to deliver it in her mouth, she paused.

As littleyoonie, she's used to eating instant ramen and biscuits while writing and finishing her script. Since her budget was always tight, she's always dreaming of eating delicious foods and well-cooked meats, but after seeing it, she suddenly lost appetite.

She suddenly felt empty inside upon gazing at that long, quiet table.

Athasia stood up, which made the maid standing at her right side worried. "Young Miss, what's wrong?" she asked, wanting to pat the young lady's back. "Is the food not to your liking?"

Athasia shook her head, "Fixed this all. I don't feel like eating tonight. I'm going to eat outside.." Then she walked away.

The maids looked at each other with a sad expression. They thought that after waking up today, the liveliness from the Young Miss wouldn't vanish.

"They rarely use the dining table since Master Rymerton was always eating outside with his business partners too..I pity the Young Miss." they thought.

***

As soon as she opened the door, she grabbed the grey jacket hanging behind the door.

On her way to the corridors, she met Benson.

"Good evening, Young Miss..Where are you going at this hour?" he asked, handling the folders. "This is the possible hiring establishment near our area that's accepting students who like to do a part-time job.." he explained.

Athasia didn't get the folder nor check it. She asked Benson to put it inside her room because she's out for something. When she was about to step down on the stairs, Benson came running towards her.

"Young Miss! Where are you going? Do you want me to call the driver?"

"No need, I'm going to the convenience store to buy something.." then Athasia completely vanished from his sight.

The cold road welcomed her as soon as she walked meters from the Rymerton mansion. She almost got lost because of that spacious house.

Luckily, there was a convenience store meters away from her place. Athasia tucked her jacket closer to her chest and made big walks.

She felt like eating instant ramen instead of moving those delicious foods from the table, where she felt very foreign. Even as littleyoonie, she never experienced eating with her family while growing up, so pushing herself to fit inside this novel is quite hard.

'Why did I even write about such a luxurious mansion and living for my female lead when things will just end like this?' she sighed as littleyoonie.

Athasia pushed the door of the convenience store and made her way to the food section.

The ambiance of the air-conditioner was very fine and so her mood not until she caught a glimpse of someone she shouldn't be seeing right now.

The threads of his black hair that turns to darker purple when being illuminated under the light. His tall, athletic physique that stands out in the crowd. His posture with one hand in his pocket while talking to the crew.

Wearing that elegant aura in his fashionable, simple clothes.

Athasia's world stopped. Her body slowly moved forward like a frozen rock. She hid behind the stalls with half of her head peeking out.

If there was another person that she wanted to avoid the most in this novel, it was him.

Litteyoonie knew his characteristics so well. He had no mercy on whoever was in front of him.

Athasia bit the tip of her nails and mumbled to herself. "What is he even doing here?" Feeling the cold sweats from her forehead, she compressed herself in the corner.

What in the world was Maximillian Svestin, the male lead, doing here?!

There's also one thing that made her breath stop and turned her chest nervous. Like a reader, opening a new book and getting to know the characters, Athasia also felt that way.

Because her own male lead was very handsome in real life!
