"What are you doing here, princess?" Vegas asks in a cold dead tone

Pete was terrified to the core yet he try to maintain everything as normal, not anything but himself to look as normal as possible. Cold sweat run down his neck as he slightly trembles while answering.

"I'm here for the cleanup." Pete

Vegas cock one brow as he asks "Clean up?" He then continues "Is that your duty?"

Stunned. Yes Is it his duty?

'What a stupid lie! You are dead Pete.' Pete cursed himself

There is an uncountable maid in this teerapanyakul mansion yet he chooses this stupid lie. What an idiot!

"I-" Pete got no word

Vegas cross a few long strikes toward Pete as he corners Pete at the end of the table. Both his hand are placed on each side leaving Pete no door for an escape.

"What did I tell you to do this morning? Hmm?" Vegas asks in a berserk voice as if catching a child stealing

" To rest," Pete answers obediently, face looking down the floor.

"Right. And did you?" Vegas

"I- I already did. It's just I'm here waiting for you." Pete

Another lie.

If Vegas caught him lying later his ass will get spanked hard for sure, Pete still remembers how sore he was the last time he got caught lying.

'God bless me.' Pete

"Hmm?" Vegas arch one brow and ask "What do you have?"

"I was waiting to eat dinner, together with you." Pete

Pete indeed waits for Vegas for dinner.

"If you don't like it, I won't be coming here anymore." Pete

An intense silence rise as Vegas stared eye burning into Pete, but Pete was still looking down, he dare not look this man in the eye. Vegas tilted Pete's chin up, demanding Pete to look at him as he said

"I'm home now."  Vegas

"This is your home, it is normal wherever you go," Vegas adds in a sincere tone

"Really? You won't be angry?" Pete ask for a confirmation

"Why would I? I already said it whatever you want." Vegas assure with an utmost gentle voice

"Let go, dinner is ready." Vegas
