"Anya Smith!!" screeched a voice in a snapping tone. The voice that came from Xav, a voice that was annoying because it came at a bad time.

"You'd better hurry back to that room before my brother goes berserk," Noah said with a smile, and the man turned and walked through the dim corridor that connected the two kitchens.

His shadow disappeared in just a few seconds. Leaving Anya staring at him without blinking.

"Miss Smith! The young master is calling for you!" shrieked Chef Gio, who suddenly appeared from behind the refrigeration room. Anya didn't realize how long the tall, tattooed man had been there.

Without responding to what Chef Gio said, Anya ran straight back to the ballroom, where the party was being held.

Upon her return, Xav was already standing in the center of the room. The man's eyes stared at her sharply. Anya felt both intimidated and uncomfortable in his way.

"Where have you been, Anya Smith?" asked Xav in a cold, quivering voice. The round, sliced copper-like eyes looked at the man in front of her with a questioning gaze. For some reason, millions of questions about the nature of this man suddenly entered Anya's mind.

"I ask you, where have you been?!" shouted Xav, repeating his question.

Anya gasped, stammering. She replied, "I-I, I, f-from the kitchen."

"What are you doing there?" asked Xav, frowning.

"I went to the bathroom. Why are you asking me that? Do I need your permission to go to the bathroom?" Anya snapped bravely. She realized again that she must not look weak in Xavier's eyes so that the arrogant man would not trample on her.

Anya thought Xav would be angry, but instead, he smiled. He then clapped his hands a few times to direct all the eyes in the room to him.

"Guys, I'm sorry, I'm stopping this party here. Thank you for your presence, and good night!" Xav said, which instantly made the whole room rowdy. One by one, they left the place. Of course, after saying goodbye to the master of the house. After only a few minutes, the room was empty, leaving only Anya, Xavier, and Angel.

"Why are you still standing there?! Quickly clean up this room," Xav said as he looked at Angel. The girl looked quite shocked by what Xavier did.
Anya immediately helped Angel, who looked unhappy with the young master's attitude, which was quite rude.

"Anya Smith!" called Xav as the girl was about to help Angel clean up the wine glasses scattered here and there.
Anya turned around with a questioning look.

"You, come with me now!" exclaimed Xav in a cold voice, his face almost expressionless. It secretly made Anya shudder with horror.

"M-me?" Anya asked what seemed like an obvious question.

"Yeah, you, now!" yelled Xav with a jerk, making Anya quickly follow the man's footsteps up the stairs. Meanwhile, Angel watched them from a distance and clenched her fist.

***

Xavier's steps stopped on the third floor. He stood in one of the rooms. Then he pulled something out of his pocket: a key.

Something was going through Anya's mind, and she deliberately kept her distance because she was frightened by the attitude the man showed.

"W-what are we going to do in this room?" What a stupid question Anya threw at Xav. Making the man publish a sardonic smile due to Anya's poor choice of language.

"We do? What do you mean by that?" countered Xav as he turned the key. After a few seconds, the door opened. The young man unceremoniously pulled Anya's arm a little roughly. Forcing her inside. Suddenly, Anya tried to free herself and struggle, but the room's door was closed again by Xavier, and he stood blocking the brownish wooden door.

Anya widened her eyes, and cold sweat slowly drenched her body. She began to step back as Xav began to move forward towards her.

"W-what are you doing? Don't mess with me!" Anya snapped, trying to look strong though her voice trembled. The handsome man in front of her smiled with no intention of stopping.

He continued to move forward, and Anya slowly retreated until her small body hit the wall behind her.

"Please don't rape me!" she exclaimed, covering her face with both palms. Immediately, Anya's words made Xavier laugh out loud. He laughed at her and held her stomach.

"What, me? Raping you? Do you think I'm crazy, sacrificing my bright future just to fuck a girl like you?"

Anya, who had been looking frightened, immediately lowered her hands. Now, Anya's round eyes looked directly into Xavier's sharp copper-colored eyes.

Without saying anything else, Xav began to strip off his clothes. He unbuttoned the shirt he was wearing one by one in front of Anya. Making the girl close her eyes tightly.

"What are you doing, Xav!"

"Call me young master Xavier," Xavier whispered coldly. It was obvious that he did not like being called by name only by servants.

"Young master Xavier, are you crazy?" screeched Anya.

"No, I'm perfectly sane." Xav then pulled down his pants. So now only his boxers remained. An athletic body, with sexy pectoral muscles poking out and a bit of fine hair on the chest clearly exposed.

"Open your eyes!" Xav ordered.

Anya shook her head, and she didn't want to open her eyes. She didn't want to see any of the sights on display.

"I said, open your eyes, Anya!" forced Xav, but the girl in front refused to do so.

"As long as you're naked like this, I won't open my eyes!" Anya snapped.

"Ha? Naked? Who's naked? I'm not naked, stupid girl!" cursed Xav unhappily.

"Don't lie!" accused Anya.

"I'm not lying, and you think I'm a pole dancer, so naked in front of you? I'm still sane, Anya. You think I'm going to let you see my Mr. Hotties?" Hearing Xav's rant suddenly made Anya's face turn red. She was embarrassed to death. Here, she began to doubt her sanity. She didn't know who was actually crazy here, Xavier, or her thoughts.

Anya slowly opened her eyes, her breath catching as she saw Xav's appearance. His chest was muscular and sexy, and she didn't know how to describe it. What was clear was that Xav's body was enough to make Anya's blood rush.

"Help me scrub my back!" he ordered, leaving the girl in front of him shocked and gobsmacked.

"W-what are you s-serious? This isn't on my job desk!" Anya said in a rejecting tone.

"Job desk? Do you think you're working in an office? You're just a maid? Don't you realize that, Anya Smith!!" Xav retorted harshly. Anya swallowed. She was defeated.
