The Duke’s Affair -Part One

“How do you know I have class?” Ye Ye asked in a slightly hoarse voice, while lazily getting up. “Young Master Long gave me your class schedule, and he told me to make sure to wake the young lady on time unless there’s something special. As long as the young lady is staying at the villa…” The young maid followed Ye Ye, chattering away. Ye Ye walked into the bathroom and asked through the door, “What’s your name? I haven’t seen you before.” She thought this little black maid was quite adorable, somewhat reminiscent of Scarlett’s black maid in “Gone with the Wind” with her shrill voice, expressive face, and slightly neurotic chatter… “The young lady usually comes back in the middle of the night, so of course you wouldn’t have seen me!” the maid replied hesitantly. Ye Ye reflected on this; indeed, she usually did return late… But did she have to be so direct about it? “I’m the maid, Sammy. Young Master Long instructed me to take good care of the young lady!” Sammy said enthusiastically while folding the bed covers. “I see, thank you, Sammy.” “What kind of breakfast would the young lady like? I can do Chinese, English, Italian, or American style!” “Anything is fine, but could you make me some tea to sober up first… Uh… can you brew tea?” Ye Ye poked her head out of the bathroom, blinking at Sammy. “Of course, I can! If I couldn’t even do that, the young master wouldn’t have allowed me to serve the young lady! Plus, the young master often needs sobering tea!” Sammy continued her chatter: “Take your time getting ready; I’ll prepare everything for you! Just twenty minutes!” “Alright, thank you, Sammy! You’re really cute!” Ye Ye watched this amusing little black maid with amusement. “Really, how can the young lady be so polite to the help…” Sammy muttered as she left the room… Ye Ye’s originally uncomfortable hangover mood was lifted by the adorable Sammy… In fact, life had been quite kind to her, hadn’t it? …Of course, if that guy could also treat her well, her next three and a half months would be even happier, wouldn’t they? Feeling refreshed, Ye Ye arrived at school. She had classes in the morning, but only one in the afternoon. She planned to visit Shaogang Xiong’s school after her afternoon class to meet him. After all, she had promised to find a way to get Shaogang to attend Uncle Xiong’s birthday party, so she needed to talk to him! Ye Ye always kept a certain distance from her classmates at school, not because she was arrogant or cold, but because she knew she would only be there for less than four months and didn’t want to leave a deep impression on anyone or vice versa… except… Sigh, isn’t it true that what you can’t have always lingers in your heart? Human nature can be truly terrifying…
