Married to Ms.Billionaire

A Different Side

Right there inches away from me was Ryujin. (There are a few lines here which I wouldn't add because it says about tallness which our little ryu doesn't have 🤣👍)

She was asleep and my eyes seemed to be fixed on her face. How could she make me mad so often, yet make me feel all warm and fuzzy when she's sound asleep like a little girl? I leaned in to feel her fever again and nearly yelped when she grabbed my wrist. My eyes were wide, and I lost my breath.

"Miss. Choi what are you doing?" She said in a low deep voice.

"Well you almost fainted and.."

"Got it, what time is it?" She asked interrupting me.

"Midnight." I whispered.

She looked around and noticed this wasn't her room, so she lifted the blanket and stood up. She stumbled a little and went sideways.

"Ryujin, you have a fever, Relax." I said holding her arm.

She looked at me, and pulled away walking out the door. I followed her just in case and after a few turns, we reached this humongous room, with a king bed, and a few red couches. It all looked so expensive to afford. I looked around and noticed she was about to fall again so I got her to her bed.

"You can leave." She said barely being able to speak.

"No, I will take care of you just like I took care of my mom when she would get sick." I replied.

She plopped her head back to the soft pillow and rubbed her forehead with her hand. She looked pale, and helpless. I decided to make her a remedy that has been in my family for a while now.

"Stay here I'm going to make you something." I told her while putting the covers on her.

"Don't burn the house down." She said with her eyes closed.

I looked back, and couldn't believe she had the energy to even insult me right now. Since she was sick I let it go and ignored her comment. I made it to the kitchen with no problem and thankfully I found all the ingredients to my herb tea.

************

I walked back with a tray that had the herb tea, and a bowl with room temperature water. She was sound asleep and I sighed. Now the tea was going to get cold. I went with my second plan which always worked with my mom. I reached her shirt, and started unbuttoning so I can rub the room temperature water with a cloth on her, and surely her fever would go down.

"What are you doing?" Ryujin said half asleep and annoyed.

"Relax, this will help." I said continuing to unbutton her shirt.

"This is harassment." She said.

"Oh shut up, I can't believe you annoying even when you're sick." I grumbled.

She smirked, and I took her shirt off trying to act as if there wasn't a perfectly toned body in front of my dark brown eyes. I cleared my throat and took the wet cloth and passed it over her skin trying not to look. She laughed a little but not too much.

"What's funny?" I said irritated.

"You." She said.

"Why?" I asked.

"Your face. It's beat red." She teased.

"Oh my god, I'm about to just leave you like this." I said.

She got serious and looked around the room. Silence had filled the room. It was so quiet, I could hear a pin drop on the floor. I squeezed the cloth and soaked it again.

"You used to do this to your mom?" She asked with a low voice. I nodded my head, and kept rubbing.

"So you were a good kid." She continued.

"I guess, why." I said finally looking at her.

"No reason in particular. I feel like I was always a spoiled child, even while doing things I shouldn't have in high school. I was always in trouble so my parents never really paid attention to me they would just buy me things." She confessed.

"You don't say." I said referring to the being spoiled part. I could see sadness in Ryujin's eyes, and I figured it took her some courage to tell me something personal like this.

"What?" She said noticing my gaze at her.

"Huh? Nothing, I was just thinking maybe you're not such a bad person after all." I said commencing ti pass the damp cloth on her.

"You thought I was a bad person?" She asked furrowing her eyebrows and a smirk formed on her smooth lips that were coming back to its original color.

"I mean you're pretty rude sometimes." I said with honesty.

"My apologies." She said looking at me.

"Do you miss your mom?" She asked.

Mentioning her led me to feel something in my heart. A little stab. I hadn't cried about my mom since the week she had passed away but remembering her now, I wish she was here with me.

"Are you...?" She began.

"No, I'm not." I interrupted her.

She sat up on the bed, and tucked a strand of my blonde hair behind my ear, and wiped away my tears away with her palms.

"I'm sorry Lia, I didn't mean to make you cry."She said with her hands cupped in my face.

"No, it's fine, I'm sorry that I'm suddenly a big blob of mess when I'm supposed to help the boss get better." I said making air quotes at the 'boss' part.

"I actually think it lowers that brave attitude act you put on, and shows me your true feelings." She whispered.

"Brave attitude act?" I asked.

"Yeah you always act so tough. I don't think you should do that. I think you should just let it go, and be yourself." She said.

I looked at her and it was probably the feeling of being in the moment since it was just us two being so close to each other, and the room was dark but I wanted to feel her lips against mine. I thanked the darkness for not letting my pink cheeks visible. I quickly changed the subject about everything and looked at the herb tea that wasn't steaming anymore.

"I think you should drink this herb, it's getting cold." I said.

"Oh, that's right, thanks." She said grabbing the tea and drinking it in one shot.

Deep down inside I was just a maid at this house filling in for my mom who had a debt to pay to them, one of which I didn't know about but I still agreed to working here, and Ryujin was a rich women. I didn't want to develop feelings for her because it would never work, but I feel like that's exactly what was happening, but another side of me told me it was way too fast to be feeling anything.
