Misunderstanding 2

A few moments after Micah had left the door opened slightly, and Eryna peeked out.

“Is he gone?”

“Pfft...yes he is,”

“Sigh… That was close,” Eryna giggled.

“Miss, how did you do?”

The butler was speechless.

“Oh, you mean this?” She pointed at the towel she had around her.

She bent down and unfolded her jeans and then fixed her sleeves that were hidden under the towel.

“You? Miss, you are a wonder, I must say,” The butler spoke with a surprised tone.

“Ain’t I,” Eryna replied sarcastically with a wicked smile, she untied the towel from around her body.

“I am sorry for keeping you up this late, you should go back to sleep,” Eryna advised him.

“Yes, Miss!” He bowed slightly and walked away,

Eryna bid farewell to the butler and closed the door. She stood with her back against the door and heaved out a tired breath.

“Sigh! Should I call Simba? I hope he can fall asleep without me by his side,” She pouted while pondering.

Since the day his mother died, Simba kept on having nightmares, and it was hard for him to even get a wink of sleep. Eryna would hold him and sing to him until he was asleep.

Eryna closed the door behind her and took out her cell phone, And dialed Simba. The phone rang only once before Simba picked up the call.

“Mommy?” His voice had a hint of longing in it,

“Yes, Love it me,”

“I miss you, when will you come back?”

“Love, I missed you too, it’s just mommy has some work. I promise I will visit you soon,”

“Promise?” He spoke softly.

“Yes Promise, Now hurry up and go to bed, it's too late now,”

Eryna spoke calmly.

“But-But it’s scary.” his voice trembled.

“Okay, let’s do one thing, You go to bed and I will sing to you just like every night. Okay?”

“Okay?” He happily replied and got into bed. He had his tiny hands around the phone and listened to her mother’s voice attentively.

~I am there for you,

Right beside you,

If you look close enough,

I will be right there for you,

So if it scares you...if it hurts you,

just come to me I will shelter you.

I will hold you close,

I will hold you tight,

and if the thunder roars

I will hide you in my broken soul,

I am there for you,

There, for you~

Eryna sneakily tiptoed around the mansion. It was still early in the morning but she was hungry and was unable to find the kitchen in the huge mansion. Her grumbling stomach gave out another warning as she walked past the lounge,

“Miss?’

“Gasp!” Eryna jumped in horror as she felt like her heart had skipped out of her chest. She looked around and saw the butler standing behind her with an excited expression.

“You almost gave me a heart attack,” Eryna spoke as she took a deep breath.

“Oh, my apologies, But why are you up so early, and why are you walking like that?” He asked in an interesting voice, his eyes had a spark when he spoke to her,

“Sigh, I am hungry, and I am looking for the kitchen to find something to eat,”

After listening to her the butler stared at her with a weird gaze.

“What happened? Don’t you have a kitchen in the house?”

“No, there is a kitchen in the mansion but we are not allowed to use it,” He replied while looking at the floor.

“Why? Is it for decoration purposes?”

“No, Master doesn’t like the smell of food in the house, He gets disturbed by it,”

Eryna looked at the butler with an expression that said.

‘That darn master of yours, Is there a thing in the world he likes?’

“So where does he get his breakfast from?”

Eryna asked with a hungry look, her eyes sparkled when she looked at the butler.

“That- the master doesn’t eat breakfast,” He looked down in shame,

‘Crash- ah- was that my heart? Did it break?... How am I supposed to live without food? That’s the only happy thing left in my life.’

Eryna played a dramatic role in heartbreak in her mind but suddenly collected her mood and spoke to the butler with a determined gaze.

“Where is the kitchen?”

“Miss what are you thinking?” The butler didn’t look very good after hearing her determined tone.

“Lead me to the kitchen, if I don’t eat something now I am surely going to die, And if I eat I will die too, with your master’s hands. I guess dying with a full stomach would be much better,”

“But-but”

“No buts, I take the responsibility, for whatever happens,”

Eryna turned around and started to walk away.

“Miss!” the butler called her out.

“Nope, you can’t stop me now!” Eryna waved her hand in the opposite direction and continued to walk.

“Miss it’s this way, the kitchen.” the butler corrected her.

Eryna stopped at once and turned around, her cheeks were slightly tinted red.

“Oh, I thought you were stopping me,” She fidgeted her fingers and followed the butler,

The butler led Eryna to the kitchen. She looked around the beautifully marbled counters and the wooden cabinets. Her eyes sparkled at the sight of such a piece of art, she wandered around it and happily opened up every cabinet and drawer.

Her happiness ended when her stomach gave out another growl.

“Hehe, I better cook something,” Eryna grinned at the butler.

She opened up the cabinets once more and looked around the ingredients, and surprisingly there was everything in the kitchen, the refrigerator was loaded with food and so were the cabinets.

‘Sigh, Rich people, You can never understand them,’

Eryna sighed inwardly and thought to herself.
