Lina took him directly to his room, which of course belonged to Andrien, the former heir to the Smith family.
" Is this your young master's room? Seems like his habits are expensive to complete ", Jonas said in amazement.The whole room was decorated with expensive lights and furniture, so beautiful. He never saw such a luxury in his whole life." He is the heir of the Smith family, and the next owner to the Smith Group. So how can his habits be cheap? ", Said Lina in a comforting small tone.Compare to the whole mansion, his room was much more unique and different in many aspects. The floor was built of pure marble, interior and everything in this room costs millions of thousands of dollars. Every little thing was more than five digits in expense. And all of these belong to Andrien Smith.Jonas could not believe it in his eyes, was he really inside the most luxurious mansion? The one that almost every individual and rich want to be in. His luck surely was on his side right now.Lina finally accomplished her mission, she could now sleep without any worries.They were just having a small talk when suddenly someone knocked on the door. Lina glanced towards the door and spotted a maid standing at the door." Come in ".The maid walked in and stood there with the food plate in her hands." Place the plate here and leave ", Said Lina in a cold tone.The maid nodded, put the plate on the side table, and then left.Lina got up, picked up the food plate, and stood in front of him. " Here, have something before you go to sleep ".Jonas accepted the food which was no less than any luxury. It was an oil-toasted sourdough bread with oven-baked garlic in olive oil spread on top like a sauce, cottage chees spread on top and topped with sundried tomatoes, black pepper, and rock salt.Without waiting for anyone, he started eating. He only has breakfast this morning, so this meal was very important to him.Lina felt relieved only after seeing him stuff everything in his stomach." Now that you have your stomach filled, sleep early, you have been through so much today, so I am afraid you will feel exhausted tomorrow if you don't get enough rest. Plus, you will have a lot to face tomorrow after everyone returns. Goodnight ", Lina rubbed the corners of her both eyes and yawned.It was Lina who was tired and wanted to leave as early as possible. Finding Jonas was way more difficult than she thought. But at the end of the day, she was satisfied with the result, it was nice to see him back home.Just when she was leaving, Jonas stopped her as his hand held onto her. Lina turned around to face him, she had nothing but exhaustion on her face right now. " What do you want now? "." You just said I am going to face many people tomorrow, who are those people? ", He asked curiously.Since he was now hired to act like Andrien Smith, he felt obliged to know everything about the Smith family." Can you let go of my hand for a moment? ", She asked.Jonas immediately retracted his hand and smile awkwardly. Lina took the chance to peek out of the room and then close the door, not only that but she even locked it from the inside in case someone tries to eavesdrop on them.Spotting the chair placed under the study table, she grabbed it and took it to his bed, sitting by the side of the bed on the chair, she signal Jonas to take a seat beside her." Let me give you a quick explanation of the characters living in this mansion ", Started Lina."8 people are living in this house except you, your father, and your grandfather. Your elder uncle Jaim, his wife Marina, and his son Ricky. There's your father's youngest sister too, her name is Wynn, a very fierce and cunning lady. Of course, your aunty also has a husband who's basically married to her family and is living here from the first of the marriage. Another is your father's mistress, Vivian. Vivian has a daughter name, Ruan, probably the daughter of her first husband. She and your father also have a son together, his name is Felix. So these are eight characters that live in the same house as you ", Said Lina as she gave him a quick introduction and explanation.Just mentioning the family gave Lina a headache. But it was important to tell him about them since he asked." It's a full fledge family. I am sure everyone lives in harmony here ", Jonas assumed on his own that this family was quite harmonious and happy." For outsiders, the Smith family is the most harmonious and happy. But in actuality, everyone here wants to kill each other for the inheritance. It's a relief that your grandfather has made you his heir, that's why everyone is still acting like they love each other ", Said Lina as she patted his shoulder.Harmony and unity were just a front, but inside everything was fucked up. The happier the Smith family appears on the outside, the more chaotic and fierce it was behind the scenes, pretty dark.Well, what did Jonas even expect? It was a Smith they were talking about, so it wasn't possible to have no secrets." So I have to have my guard up against everyone? ", Jonas asked for confirmation.And Lina nodded in confirmation. " You are right. This family is beyond your expectation, they are the main villains of your life, so there's no way you and them can live in peace and harmony. Despite knowing you are the sole heir and everything belongs to you, they treat you like trash as if you are worthy of nothing. There have been many occasions when they have bullied you and tortured you in the most painful ways. Even while mentioning them, I want to punch the air and wish they just disappear from the earth ", Lina was impartial all the time, but now she was showing hatred openly." Does Andrien not have a mother? I mean where is she? There have been rumors that she disappeared after giving his father divorce ", Jonas asked about Andrien's mother." The more clear something appears, the most complicated and dark it is in actuality. It's the same for your mother. I don't know much, but I have always seen young masters blame masters. Every time his mother's name was mentioned, he was sent to a high level of anger ", It was the only thing she has no idea of." Anyway, enough for today. You are tired and I am too, so we should leave it all here and go to sleep. Let's meet tomorrow ", Said Lina as she got up from the chair and put the chair back in its original place.After Lina left, Jonas was alone in the large and luxurious room. He lay on the king-size bed and almost went to the heavens, this feeling of comfort and coziness was out of the world for him.And before he could even complete his thoughts, he went to nirvana, his eyes closed completely as the wrinkles between his brows disappeared completely, making one feel he was comfortable in this state.When the morning came, he was awakened by the footsteps which stopped exactly in his room. His vision was a little blurry and the ceiling on top of him looked a lot more interesting. But when his eyes moved a little further, he saw many people dressed in a former uniform standing inside the room in a formation.Seeing the unknown scenery, Jonas almost jumped up in fright. " Who the hell are you all? ".The moment he opened his eyes, many people dressed in servant's clothing appeared before him, they were there waiting for him to wake him. Jonas was not used to this luxurious life, and he had almost forgotten about last night's events and what happened yesterday like he momentarily forgot about adapting to the stranger's identity. So when he saw so many people upon waking up, he was startled heavily. " Who the hell are you all doing here? And who the hell permitted you to enter my room? Get out ", Yeah, he went a little aggressive on them all. Hearing him swear, all of them started shakily like wet kittens who had been dumped inside the haunted house. " Young Master, please calm down ", One of them said gathering all the courage he had. Handling the young master of this mansion was not easy. Andrien Smith was like a tiger, once offended, you can guarantee that you will come out alive. People working in this mansion were all managed by Vivian, the mistress of Andrien's father. J
She was a servant of the Smith family, always below everyone. As her lower status, she was supposed to act like a servant only. And the current situation was not ideal for her. Jonas immediately turned off the shower, and without further notice, Lina ran out of the room, her clothes were all wet. " I can't go out in this condition ", Said Lina as she grabbed the blow dryer from the shelf and started blowing herself. Even after she taught him how to turn on the shower, he took more than half an hour inside the shower. And the same last thirty minutes Lina spent drying her outfit. When he came out, he only had the towel wrapped around his lower body. Lina's reaction was as stiff as a rock, she just stared at him for a moment before throwing the have dryer at him. " Dry your hair and then change into this suit. It's already eight, the meeting with start in five minutes, so hurry up ", Said Lina unbothered by his stunned expression. " You said the meeting will start at 8, and we are
" Has the CEO of this company died that you all decided to start the meeting without him? ", Fake Andrien made his entry into the meeting room that was as big as a wedding hall. All who saw him went into silent mode, he came but took away their voices. Light shined behind him, making a hallow behind him like he was some angel. Those who didn't expect him went into shock. They couldn't believe Andrien was here for real since the directors even started rubbing their eyes in case they might be dreaming. With Andrien, walked in his most beautiful secretory Miss Angelina. She worked a black penny skirt over a white shirt tucked inside, paired with black high heels, and hair pulled up in a professional high bun. She had some files in her hand and showed Andrien the way, he sat on the chair that was of the CEO, the most important person in the company. His one glance alone was enough to shake everyone off their seats. " So where were we? I see that you all want me out of the company, c
Angelina walked out of the office room. The moment she left, Jonas loosened his tie and looked at the door, his hands were all sweaty from the nervousness and his heart was still beating at the speed of the train. His whole body shuddered...Jonas looked at himself the floor reflex and fixed the tie as he sat straight. " I hope I did not mess up. Those people were so scary ".He grabbed the glass of water from the glass table and drank half of it. He was too scared and nervous inside, good thing he did not show up anything on his face. His phone rang, and he immediately reached out to his pocket and bring out the phone he picked it up. " Everything went smoothly. But can you come to pick me up? I don't think I will be able to survive on this cold battlefield, it's hard to breathe, I need you here, please hurry up ", Jonas knows nothing, he only knows one thing, that he can't stay here anymore, but right now after such a big issue. " Alright....alright, calm down. The elder master
Jonas gulped down that mouthful of coffee somehow. But then Angelina ended up saying which made him instantly nervous. " Boss, you are acting strange, why? ", Angelina suddenly raised her has as she looked him in the eyes. She was beautiful and angel-looking. But right now she had suspicion in her eyes regarding his strange behavior. " H...How am I acting weird? ", Jonas asked with full confidence. He was quite confused and offended that Angelina was looking him in the eye and wasn't scared of him at all. " Let alone in front of her everyone, even when we are alone, you always tell me to look you in the eyes. You don't like it when I talk to you looking somewhere else, you hate it when I put my head down to talk to you. But today, you didn't notice I was blowing my head the entire time. Why? ", Angelina was his most trusted person in this company, the one with whom he can share any secret. She had her head down the entire time, but he didn't notice, how? She remembered, in the p
It was too silent when he entered the mansion. But the moment he stepped inside the living, a group of mad people appeared before him. All these people in front of him were his so-called fake family. " Aiyo! Looks who's here. Isn't he the Coward who ran away due to embarrassment he felt at the party? ", Said Ruan, the granddaughter of the Smith family. She has mocking expressions on her face, and all these interesting expressions were stocked up for one and only Andrien. Lina had already told him about these crazy people being in the same house as him. Knowing how their relationship was with Andrien, Jonas spared them no attention and jumped to the couch instead. Crossing his legs, he closed his eyes as his body leaned backward. " Get me a glass of cold water, right now ", they said in a cold yet clear tone. The servants in this mansion might be listening to others' orders, but fear...fear was installed in their minds for Andrien. All the servants knew the result of not heeding
Jonas was confused at first, he had no idea where that place was, what does she mean by their place? Lina didn't touch him or hold him as it was inappropriate in this mansion since she was just his servant, nothing less or nothing more. She guided him to that place. They took the lift to the highest floor and after dropping there they walked out of the door that landed them straight to the rooftop. The rooftop of this mansion was the greatest and most beautiful thing Jonas had seen in his whole life. This wasn't just a rooftop, but a treasury of exotic and expensive fruits and flowers, not to mention the ground that was blooming with greenery and grass, everything there was gorgeous and eye soothing. In that large space, Jonas spotted an old man sitting da from him on the still chair, Jonas was unable to see the look in his eyes as he had black glasses over his eyes. Lina signaled him to go further toward Elder master. In the meantime, she bowed and greeted him. " I have brought
Gabriel was never unreasonable, he had helped many people till now without asking anything in return. But in Jonas's case, he had a lot to expect and see. Playing Andrien's role was no easy task, to master becoming him, Jonas must work hard. On the surface, Andrien was notorious, overconfident, and someone who had everyone at the palm of his hand on the outside, but in reality, so many secrets were hidden beneath his behavior. " It's quite late, you should go back to your room now. Lina, take him back ", Said Gabriel as he looked at the time.Lina nodded to him and looked at Jonas, it was a signal that they should return to his room. " Good night, elder master ", Lina greeted him and walked away along with Jonas. Gabriel shifted his gaze from them to the eternal sky filled with stars, he sighed heavily and kept on looking at one particular star in the sky. " I hope you are in peace wherever you are. Don't worry about the situation here, I have found someone who can be your perfect
Henri slammed his name on the edge of the chair, his whole body shuddering in anger seeing how rude Andrien was being to him in front of everyone. " I am your father, you should be respectful to me and be polite. But seeing you now, I realized that I really failed to teach you manners, you have become spoiled ", Henri spoke his mind as he gradually subsided his anger.Everyone was present here, and all of them were waiting for him to scold Andrien. And Ruan was just looking for that one chance to spout everything. Jonas didn't feel any affection in his voice, instead, there was disappointment and greed in his tone. " You have been missing for two weeks and just returned after the company issued a notice. Where were you all this time? Do you even know how much profit we lost because of your absence? ", Henri spoke, his voice rising with each word. Andrien sneered hearing his earlier words. Only now he understood why this old fella was nice to him. Turned out he was only worried abo
