Chapter 57
Leigh-Ann’s POV
God, I couldn’t contend with my happiness so I rushed off to my room then sprawled on the bed. Can any of you believe this huh? I’m traveling out of the state, the country, CamBridge High, and most of all, the K-Brother’s mansion.
I didn’t want to waste more time so I began packing up most of the clothes Sir Kael had bought for me, especially the ones I’ve never worn before. The ones I considered too expensive.
Maerie got into the room and stood for some time, wearing this confused look. “Hey, what’s with you packing?”
“It’s Sir Kael,” I responded with a smile. I couldn’t help it.
“Did He fire you? If so then you’ve at least gotten what you’ve always wanted”
I shot her a stare then I laughed heartily. Is she seriously kidding me? I know I’ve always wanted that but not anymore.
“Okay, then what? It’s looking insane already” She muttered with an eye roll and came to sit on the bed.
“We’re vacating to Bolivia” For a split second she didn’t say a word and I figured she must’ve been trying to absorb the news.
“Oh-kay… so”
“We’re gonna spend our three weeks vacation there”
“Oh! That’s great news Leigh, am so happy for you.” She said and came to sit beside me “So it’s just you and Sir Kael huh? You know i’m starting to wonder what’s going on between you two”
I scoffed and rolled my eyes. What’s going on between me and Kael is that he doesn’t even look at me twice and of course, nothing has changed.
“You know sometimes I wish I were you, Leigh. The other girls out there wouldn’t understand that it’s just your luck. They’ll think you did something else to get all these”
“Something like what?” I asked even though I knew the answer to it already. She always mentioned it. What the other girls say, what they think but whatever.
“That you um… you know… did stuff like sleeping with him” Maerie stuttered and rubbed her nape “But I don’t believe all those you know”
I sighed despondently then stared at the dress in my hand. Why would people think I’ll ever do such a thing huh? I know I had been so silly to have ever kissed him but that was out of my feelings, no, it was an experiment and I regret it. Not that the kiss made Kael like me or treat me differently.
“Come on, just forget about whatever I said. Maybe being just you and Sir Kael, you two could get to know each other”
I rolled my eyes. What’s there to know about each other aside from him being my Master and me being his maid?
“Um… it’s not only us. Stiles’s joining us” I chipped in and watched her flinch.
“Stiles???”

Kim’s POV
“Argh!” I groaned and fell heavily to the floor. My arms, waist, and every part of my body were hurting.
“Get up!!!”
Just his cold voice jerked me up on my feet even when I felt so weak. It gave me these shivers I couldn’t control.
“You are so Goddamn weak. You’re lifeless” Kyler gruffed and without looking up, I could feel his cold gaze burn through me.
“We’re done for today”
I waited for him to walk off completely before dropping off to the floor, damn.
As I had been told, Kyler gets the best and strongest men which he trains to become his workers. And as his worker now, I had to train and be strong.
I looked up weakly and through my bleary eyes, I could see someone peeping through the slightly opened door. I blinked rapidly but on turning back to face the door, the person was gone.
Huh, who’s that?

“Sir, Sir Kael’s here to see you” Madagascar announced and waited for Kyler’s response but got none. Kyler is the real definition of a grumpy person. I guess he never changed after all.
After some time, Kael walked in. At least I know he’s the most handsome amongst the brothers.
“Hey bro, just thought of seeing you before leaving tonight” Kyler looked up at him without saying a word and I decided to offer my greetings.
“Good day Sir”
It looked like he had just noticed my presence in the room cause he stared at me with this look in his eyes.
“And who’s she?” He finally asked.
I figured Kyler wouldn’t give any response so I responded.
“I’m Secretary Kim”
Kael nodded then turned to Kyler. “And I’m leaving with my two most important workers. I’ll be back before resumption” He added and turned to leave but then, he paused to look at me.
Gosh, what’s he doing? I could feel my heart rising and falling against my chest.
“I think I know someone who bore that name. She used to be um… Noona… but she’s dead”
My heart gave a mighty thud on hearing that. Noona…
That was the name they used to call me when they were kids except for Kyler who always called me Kimler. How did Kael recall so easily? And he mentioned I was dead.
“No worries, you’re not her,” Kael said and turned to walk off.
“Kael” Kyler suddenly called out ” Do be careful”
I could sense the deep concern in his voice. The concern he has always had for his brothers and no one else. Kael nodded and finally walked off, leaving Kyler and I in the room.
Suddenly, the room felt so cold, and once again, it made me shiver. After the morning training and a few minutes of rest, I finally resumed work with Kyler.
I thought he was gonna get mad at me for introducing myself to Kael but he didn’t say a word. He just focused on his work while I passed and received a few calls.
After some hours, we were done for the day.
” Noona ”
On hearing the name, I froze. Kyler was calling me that, meaning he hadn’t forgotten too.
“The Noona we all loved turned out to be a devil in disguise” He added.Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.
It hit me hard and deep down, I wanted to explain. I wanted him to know the reasons for my actions back then, wanted to say something but…
“Leave!” His cold voice broke in. I heaved and bowed slightly then turned to walk off.
“Karate by 6 at the Countryside, don’t dare make me wait”

Maerie’s POV
I watched as Leigh-Ann walked out with her luggage. The guard got it from her and placed it inside the car while she walked in again.
Seriously. So they’re finally leaving huh? But where the hell is Stiles? I really wanna see him.
Just then, he walked out, hanging a school bag on his right shoulder. He looked more handsome than ever but the thought of him being with Leigh-Ann scared me.
The fact that he hadn’t yet given any reply to my numerous letters made my heart ache.
“Psst!” I tried to attract his attention and luckily, he turned immediately. I smiled sheepishly and waved for him to come over and he did.
“So you’ll be leaving huh?” I pouted and he chuckled. Jeez, he chuckled.
“Yeah, Sir Kael’s idea”
I held his right hand in my hands and looked into his face.
“I’ll miss you”
He chuckled again and looked at me which made me nervous. Gosh, what’s wrong with me huh? I’ve always wanted this opportunity and am shy already.
“Don’t miss me much, not that am dead”
I giggled and hugged him. ” I’m afraid I’m losing you already” I muttered against his broad chest.
It was dark already so there were no chances of us getting caught. “I saw you with Leigh at the garden”
He didn’t respond so I finally pulled off to look at him.
“Leigh’s a friend. She had been having problems and a lil comforting wouldn’t have killed anyone”
“But it killed me,” I thought of saying but held myself. Somehow I felt guilty for misjudging both of them. It even looked like they didn’t relate to each other.
“Sir Kael would be out soon and I need to go”
I nodded and hugged him again.
“Bye,” I muttered.
