She was surprised to see brother Rudolf opening the car door. She didn't know he was following behind.
"Brother Rudolf," she is a little relaxed now.
"Ca.s.sie, come on. It's getting windy and cold outside," he said.
"Okay."
Meisha who opens the huge door of this mansion and she was a bit surprised of the servants and maids that waited on the entrance.
"Welcome home, Mistress…" they greeted her while bowing their head.
She is puzzled the way they were addressing her. Isn't a Mistress is only uses to address their Master's wife? Well, she got to ignore it because her eyes astounded how luxurious the interior of the mansion. The elegance is dazzling her.
"Welcome Mistress. I am Mrs. Fe, the Head Servant of this house. And this is Mr. Son, the butler. If you needed anything, please to request our presence," said of a woman on her early 60's.
"Oh, thank you. I am fine. I can take care of myself," she said, overwhelms at this moment.
"Ahem! Mrs. Fe, Ca.s.sie need to get some rest, please to escort her to her bedroom," Rudolf's request to the old lady.
"Understood, Director Lao. Mistress, please follow me."
"Ah… okay, thank you." Ca.s.sie glance at Rudolf, he nodded like saying, it's okay.
She was like dreaming of stepping inside this house. Everything seems gleaming. She followed Mrs. Fe to the stairway. It has other staircases to a different direction and Mrs. Fe took the right direction. She followed her quietly.
Mrs. Fe opens a door and a beautiful room welcomed her. It was also elegant and the size is like three times bigger than her bedroom. But she was wrong, it was four times bigger than her bedroom because of the wardrobe Mrs. Fe showing her. The old lady told her that these are her clothes delivered this morning. She was stunned. Everything looks expensive.
"I will be outside, if you needed me, Mistress…"
"Oh, it's alright! Please, you don't need to do that," she is not used to this kind of treatment.
"Please, Master Crow requested to a.s.sist you. This is my job," the old lady insisted.
"Okay. But can I just called you in some way like in a telephone if I needed something?" She remembered the drama Joanna's watching about families in high societies.
"Yes, Mistress. You can use this telephone, it was connected directly to the Servants Waiting Room inside this mansion. If you need anything you can make a request to bring them to you." Mrs. Fe shows to her the telephone hangs on the wall near the bedroom door.
"Ah, okay. Thank you very much." She bowed politely.
"Then, I will take my leave Mistress," Mrs. Fe bowed then quietly close the bedroom door.
When the woman was gone, Ca.s.sie touches the bed. The blanket that finely wrapped the mattress is soft. The curtains are light colors but it doesn't hurt the eyes. She takes a glimpse behind those curtains and she saw a wide garden in the back of the mansion. Definitely, it was beautiful during sunny days.
She took off her hooded coat and put it on the nearby couch. She rests on the bed and closes her eyes... does she was dreaming? She didn't notice she is falling asleep.
She wasn't sure how long she's been sleeping. She felt someone's fingers combing her hair.
"Ca.s.sandra, say bye-bye brother Quinn…" her mama said.
"Bye-bye…" two years old of her shyly says.
"I'll come back."
"Take care always Quinn. Take care of yourself," Hannah Young said.
"Of course! Mama!"
"They are waiting now," Landon said. "Be a good boy."
"Yes, papa."
"Ca.s.sandra," Quinn planted a kiss on her cheeks.
"Quinn!" Ca.s.sandra began crying. Quinn also starts crying but his plane for New York is now calling all the left pa.s.senger that wasn't boarded on the plane yet.
"Brother Quinn..." tears trailing on her cheeks. But she felt someone is drying them.
She attempted to open her eyes. She saw a silhouette of someone seated on the bed. "Brother…" she remembered then that she was at Shun's house.
"Brother Shun!" she sits up on the bed. She was surprised when Shun's hugs her tight.
"Am glad you are safe," he said.
"Ah, yes. I'm glad you come home safe too."
"Yes. The rain is getting stronger, a lot of accident happens on the way."
"I see…" she felt her cheeks is burning. Shun still not letting her go. She was surprised when he buried his face between her shoulder like Shun is afraid she will gone if he'll let go of her.
But what a mood crasher… her stomach growls.
"Hmm… let's go to the kitchen. I'll make some lunch."
"Really?" she got excited to think of Shun's cooking.
"Yes. Come," Shun stood and stretched his hand. She takes it and let him help her climb down from the bed. This bed somewhat is high from the floor.
Her face is flus.h.i.+ng red because Shun did not let go of her hand. She just followed him stepping outside of the room.
"Mr. Son, we're going to the kitchen to make lunch. I will just call if we needed a.s.sistance."
"Understood, Master." The butler bowed then did not followed them. He notified everyone to go back to the servant's waiting room.
Everyone was already informed that if the Master is home, n.o.body should wandering around but waited for a call to be summoned. Most of the time, butler Son who will stand nearby to received orders from the Master.
Shun wants to be alone if his friends weren't around. When everyone comes over, they serve themselves, making the mansion an ordinary house.

Small Scene in the Servants Waiting Room
Servant's waiting room is just a room inside the mansion. Their quarters are separated from the mansion.
The room is actually big. It has television for them to watch the news or movies. There are a kitchen and foods that stock in the room to make their meals. Shun is a generous master. The servants just do nothing but eat, gossip, watch a TV or streams on their phone if the master around. But, one very important rules, they are not allowed to take a selfie or any pictures in any part of the house and they understood it.
"Ah! I want to see the Mistress and the Master!"
"What are you saying about?"
"They said, the Mistress is beautiful! I never have a chance to look at her!"
"We were going to see her soon."
"Ah! What I wanted to see is the Master with the Mistress together!"
"But, I more wanted to see my boyfriend right now! But I can't go out to just take a peep of him." One of the maids is a girlfriend of Shun's bodyguard.
"And there's a typhoon outside." They sighed.
"Stopped gossiping about the Master and the Mistress! How if you all now began making our lunch? All you did is eating the chips and drinking the cola! That's not even healthy! Prepared more vegetables!" Mrs. Fe scolded the maids.
"Eh!!!"
