Life As a Servant 29 Angelica

The problem was the damn mansion, it was too big and the place he found himself in was totally unfamiliar hence it took him fifteen whole minutes of roaming around to locate a place that looked like the main hall.

Delighted that he's finally out of this luxurious maze, Bin, who was holding his sister's hand and was about to leave through the towering main door, was stopped in his tracks.

The person who made him suddenly stop is the god of this house, Jasmine's house. Although her father makes the decisions, he still obeys his fiery wife, who he never dares to anger.

This woman had the beauty of Jasmine, she looked very young like someone in their twenties. She was both elegant and mature, moreover, unlike her daughter, she seemed gentle.

The woman, Angelica, gazed at him for a few seconds, trying to remember his identity.

"Ah, aren't you the boy Jasmine recently took in?"

Although their status was different, she behaved kindly as she walked up to him and curiously glanced at little Mina, who hid behind Bin's legs, too embarrassed to show herself. She didn't want to cause trouble as this is Bin's working place thus she maintained her silence.

Bin politely bowed toward the madam and replied

"Yes, madam. I am Miss Jasmine's new servant, I am called Bin."

The woman inspected him from head to toe then said with a chuckle

"Aren't you a find young man. It's quite rare for a person to stick next to my daughter this long."

Bin smiled back and added:

"Miss has quite the fiery attitude but it's nothing I can't handle."

As she heard the new servant insult her daughter, the woman laughed and said

"No wonder you're still here. Hahaha, you tongue is more vicious than my daughter."

Angelica spoke the truth, no one would dare say such words in her presence. Her status would make anyone treat her with utmost respect yet this young man just called her daughter a fiery person.

'If it's a person like this then I can be assured.' Angelica thought to herself as she shifted her attention to Mina, who is still hiding.

"And who is this little one?"

Her eyes shone with a strange radiance as she squatted down to meet Mina's eyes only for the latter to hide head behind Bin yet again.

"She is my precious little sister, madam."

After Bin's urging, Mina hesitantly showed herself before Angelica and imitated her brother as she clumsily bowed and said

"I,I'm M-mina."

The woman softly smiled as she said:

"My my, what a cute girl!"

Just like her daughter, Angelica greatly adored little kids. In fact, she had three albums that contained nothing but Jasmine's pictures when she was young, like Mina.

Seeing such a cute girl in front of her, Angelica couldn't contain herself as she patted the girl's head and said

"Why don't you come with me? I'm having a tea session with a few of my friends."

Hearing her invitation, Mina became incredibly tense, however, Bin's eyes flashed with a cold glint as he inwardly smiled and replied in her stead

"I am sorry I'll have to sign her in a kindergarten, maybe next time."

Bin politely refused the madam's offer, which made the latter dejected. She didn't have the look of some one who gave up on their objective.

'Just as I thought, the mother and daughter have a soft spot for little children.'

As she caressed the little girl's head, Angelica said

"Such a thing can be done quickly. I'll help you sign her, so, what do you say?"

Bin remained silent, letting his sister reply this time. Although she was still young, it doesn't mean that she can't understand. After a few seconds passed, the little girl nodded her head, which made the madam incredibly happy.

Without further ado, the woman stole his sister from him as she held her hand and walked upstairs, leaving a confused yet delighted Bin.

This could only be called luck, from stumbling upon Angelica to her fondness of children, Mina specifically. Not to brag, but Bin was aware that his sister is a beautiful kid. She would definitely grow up into a kingdom toppling beauty.

With his sister's safety guaranteed, Bin didn't have to go to his home. He roamed around the mansion for a while before spotting the kitchen.

Several servants were busy preparing meals for the upcoming tea session. The mansion had a wide and beautiful garden, Angelica's tea session will be there. There is a pond filled with many types of fish and flowers around it, it was a pretty sight.

Seeing the new arrival, the servants glanced at Bin before resuming their work. One person came from behind him and put his hand on Bin's shoulder while saying

"Yo, you're the Miss'new servant, right?"

It was a young man older than Bin, he had a small beard and a mustache, he wore white clothes, clearly indicating that he's either a chef or an assistant.

"Yes, the name's Bin."

The young man faced Bin and extended his hand in greeting while showing a bright smile

"I'm Yuoba, an assistant in the kitchen."

Bin shook his hand and carefully inspected Yuoba, who seemed to be a friendly person.

"How is it personally working for the Miss?"

Yuoba lowered his voice as he secretly inquired, clearly curious. Bin scratched his hand as he tried to come up with an answer before plainly saying

"Pretty exhausting, I would say."

Yuoba chuckled and said

"Hehehe no shit! Who amongst us doesn't know how she truly is, though we all keep it to ourselves lest we get fired."

Yuoba then dragged Bin, introducing him to his comrades. The chef was an old man who has been working here for fifteen years. He was kind-looking and pretty easy-going.

The gardener was a middle-aged man who wasn't really talkative though he still greeted Bin. As for the maids, there weren't many of them, probably five or six, however, every one of them was pretty. The only exception is a fat old woman who also served Jasmine's family for more than a decade.

This woman was the head maid but Bin wasn't interested in her but in Hyue.

"So you got your eyes on her? Your chances are slim!"

Yuoba patted Bin's shoulder in comfort as she told him a few details about Hyue. Apparently, she became a maid ever since she was five years old and always served Jasmine. She was a bit older than the young Miss but looked mature, appearance and behavior-wise.

She's dedicated to her work and rarely interacts with the others. It's not that she's cold but she's just not the social type. Hyue's beauty was undeniable, although she's always wearing the maid uniform, her alluring curves can be seen. Her skin was as white as snow and her pupils were just like the abyss.

Bin wouldn't say he's in love with her but he had a favorable impression of her. He isn't someone who lies to himself and says he doesn't like someone when he does, but he still hesitated on whether to make a move or not.

In the end, he decided to not do anything as it's useless. He hasn't got much time to live, getting in a relationship will only to tragedy. He yearned for a companion in life ever since he became aware of his illness but it would be unfair to the companion as he'll soon die and leave them alone, mourning for him.
