Suddenly LOGAN appeared out of nowhere with one great purpose, to ruin my day if it was not obvious. Was this geezer born to ruin my every day? I thought they were wealthy, so why can't he mind his own business then? Logan approached me with his familiar sharp gaze. His stares were so piercing, like an eagle spotting its next victim.
"I have something for you to do," he said sternly.
I haven't even finished my work here yet. His gaze intensified as if he wanted to stab me with his eyes right now.
"I said I have something for you to do, quite hard to comprehend?" he insulted me further.
I just looked at Andrew, who was puzzled by the two of us.
"I'll follow your kind brother first," I told Andrew. I even heard someone complain.
"What?"
I walked ahead of Logan. I had no idea where this Logan guy was taking me. But it seems like we're heading to the kitchen now.
"You better not break another vase, because neither of us wants to see each other longer," I said.
"Yeah, I don't want to see a million-dollar vase shattered because of clumsiness."
"You are an asshole, so you deserve it," I hissed.
"Watch your words, young woman,” he warned me
I raised an eyebrow at him.
"You are not my parents so stop addressing me that way."
He was so bossy. He just shook his head. I even heard him call me a brat. Like really? Ah, right, some old geezer who has nothing else to do but destroy my mood and my life, what a very inspiring guy to begin with.
We walked until we reached the kitchen. Turns out, he just wanted me to carry a snack basket. Imagine! It's so heavy!
The whole time I followed him, I kept cursing him in my mind. I wanted to throw away all the class and manners I had and just slap this guy. He was making my blood boil so much right now.
We were walking for quite a while, so who wouldn't rant? He could at least help me with this heavy basket, right? Was he even a man? Or didn’t he know how to be a gentleman?
After a few minutes, we finally arrived at our destination.
We even had to climb a bit uphill because the land was elevated towards the ranch. I almost stumbled and fell, but it seemed like I'm with a statue. No feeling, or maybe he just doesn't care?
I hope chivalry becomes popular, right? When we were here, he suddenly spoke after giving me the silent treatment for a long time.
"Distribute the food for the workers here," he ordered me now.
This is slavery! I didn't have any choice but to follow him. He was still my boss until the end of his scope. I'll definitely make up for this once our agreement is over. I distributed the food packs to the workers here.
There were ten of them, and they were all very kind. Most of them were middle-aged family men, but there was also a young man who was only a couple of years older than me.
"Thank you miss, I'll carry this," he said.
It's the less fortunate people who still have chivalry in them. How about the others?
"Thank you, it's quite heavy."
I noticed that he was feeding a white horse earlier. I was in awe while looking at the white horse. Its color was so majestic. I wanted to ride a horse someday, like a princess.
"That horse is beautiful," I said to Sanver, who was assigned to take care of it.
He's the Moreno type of guy, and I could see the muscles bulging on his arms. He looked quite fine. Based on his looks alone, he could pass as a model. Sanver looked good and very kind. It's a plus to have a pleasant conversation with him.
"That's Silver, Master Logan's personal horse. He's very picky about his horses, so only he can ride this one."
What a waste, I guess even the devil could be tamed by Logan Lopez.
"I see,” I replied to Sanver.
Then, I glanced in the other direction and it felt like everything was in slow motion when I saw Logan riding a brown horse. He looked like a handsome mature man, a rich aristocrat straight from a romance novel. It didn't help that he wasn't wearing a shirt on top, and his body was free to be admired.
Who knew I could admire him like this! But at least it's just based on looks, right? He approached us, dismounted from his horse, and came towards me and Sanver. And in front of me, he wiped the sweat off his body. Hello? Am I an audience? Can he have at least a little decency? Maybe some respect?
"Excuse me?" I said to him, irritated.
"Let's go back to the manor," he ordered again.
Seriously! How could girls start appreciating this type of guy? There's nothing pleasing about him except his physical appearance and body. Or maybe, just maybe, he's only like this with me. He seemed to have a big problem with me. I didn't expect that he would ride his horse, Silver. He looked at me and I was dumbfounded.
"What? Are you just going to stand there? Get on the back," he said as if I'm supposed to be riding on a motorbike.
"I'll walk," I said instead. He's the last person I would trust with things like this. I have trust issues with him.
"What the... Are you prolonging this too?" he said, irritated.
The audacity at its finest!
"I said I wouldn't ride that horse, especially if you're the one riding it. Have you forgotten or what? Whenever we're together, something unlucky always happens, like a curse!”
He shook his head.
"Just hop in, and I know how to ride Silver safely. Why are you so scared?" he said, clearly annoyed.
But does he really think I'm enjoying what he's doing?
"Because you're the one handling the horse," I replied.
I didn't expect that he would actually force me to ride. In a swift move, he managed to lift me and put me on the back of the horse. It's as if I clung to him on my own while he was riding the horse. I didn't know what I should feel. If I should feel shocked or scared for my life at the same time. Just imagine my fear of how fast he made this horse run. He could have at least let me get off! Damn it!
"I know how to walk!" I shouted at him while holding on tight.
What's wrong with this guy?
Come to think of it, there's a lot wrong with this guy, why? I don't even need to enumerate it. Just imagine how he became such a persistent pest these past few weeks.
We finally arrived at the irrigation area. I thought we were going back home to eat. What's with this guy's mood?
"I thought we were going back there?" I asked him as he helped me down. Thank goodness. I thought this Logan guy didn't care about my well-being.
"I changed my mind, we'll eat here." I looked around.
There was a nearby hut, some vegetable plants in one area, and a nearby river. This looked like a peaceful place, so why did he bring me here instead?
"We are here because of what?"
He didn't answer and just passed by me. He simply walked towards the river, stepped on the water, and stripped his shirt before catching some fresh crabs. Woah! Do you mean he's serious about eating here? He also picked some vegetables from his garden, and I followed him to the hut. There was a kitchen there, and I watched him work for our lunch.
"Help me, just do not watch, I am not a cooking show," he grumpily said without looking at me.
"You really want me to help you with this? If I help you, I can't guarantee that this hut won't turn into ashes," I said because I didn’t know anything about cooking.
"Because you are basically a brat,” he snapped at me.
"Of course I am! I was raised that way by my parents, used to a luxurious life. I had all the privileges before, not until I was stripped of nothing. I admit it, and can you stop calling me one? Because I have no reason to be a brat anymore," I said to him.
I wanted to thank God that he turned silent already. He was so loud. I just watched him cook instead of getting irritated. In fairness, even though he's also a rich kid, he's really good at cooking. He has skills in the kitchen!
When we started eating, I looked at him first and watched him eat. Who knows if there's poison in what I'm swallowing?
"You can eat, I may be a bad guy for you, but I am not a murderer."
"That's good."
I started eating, and his dishes are not bad at all. They're delicious, probably because of the fresh meat and veggies here. So refreshing. After eating in silence, I insisted that maybe we could go home now. I also made excuses that I had assignments to do. Luckily, he listened to me for the first time.
I was already on his horse when he suddenly sped off.
"Take it easy!" I yelled angrily.
"Haha," I heard him laugh.
I paused for a moment because his laugh was so handsome but then I could feel the danger in it.
