"Timmoty! You can't even look after one girl!" In a closed room with luxurious furniture. Two people were standing in front of a white-haired young man who was now looking at Mr. Tim with a cold, intimidating gaze. This was Mr. Tim's fault for underestimating the girl; he was caught off guard, and Mr. Tim accepted his mistake.
"I'm sorry, sir. I didn't expect her to escape my sight. I will correct myself and accept the punishment." said the dashing man in the shirt while bowing his head.
Mr. Tim, the man who looked only in his forties, felt that his previous attitude had been too gentle and that the girl had dared to violate his warning impudently.
"Now... what about the girl, sir? We can't bewitch her to remove her memory of last night's events." Timmoty expressed his anxiety about the girl, rather than staying in the punishment room.
At that time, Keenan, who was too lazy to think, could only touch his forehead dizzily. From the morning until 6.00 p.m., his strength was reduced, making him too lazy to do anything, let alone think! Why do they have to confer in the morning? This is annoying!
"It's not time for her to know yet. Until she reaches the age of eighteen, she shouldn't know this secret. You guys figure it out on your own!" said Keenan, waving his hand to delegate the responsibility.
"Uncle, I'll take care of it! From now on, while Timmoty is still under sentence, I'll take care of the girl in his place," Shane, who had been silent, started to speak.
"And I'll make sure that girl... will remember last night as just a nightmare," he continued while smiling slightly with a purposeful look in his eyes.
"With the abilities she has, it is likely that she will become your mission partner in the future. You must take good care of her" said Mr. Tim.
"That's for sure!"
...
The sun had started to rise, and Valery, who was currently sleeping in his room, immediately opened his eyes. he got up as soon as he opened his eyes, groping his body to make sure that none of his limbs were missing.
"Oh my god, I'm caught! How is this?" Panicking, Valery realized that she had not managed to escape from this mansion last night. After accidentally bumping into Mr. Tim, someone suddenly hit her neck from behind making her faint. And now when she woke up, she realized that she was still in this monster's lair.
"What should I do? I have to find a way to escape. If not, they might eat me alive!" panicked Valery hurriedly, pulling up her blanket and getting off the bed.
"Who would want to eat you anyway? Your meat isn't good!" Valery's instant shock at hearing the careless words of the newly arrived Shane made her recoil in fear.
"Yeah, I'm a swimmer, my muscles are toned, and the meat would be too tough to eat," replied Valery in a pleading tone while distancing herself and standing frightened in the corner.
"Are you out of your mind! You think we're zombies, or what?" wondered Shane after hearing the girl's careless words.
"I clearly saw that Keenan biting a human's neck last night! If you guys aren't zombies... You must be cannibals! How creepy..." Valery's legs immediately shivered after saying that. It made Shane, who heard it, chuckle and think that this girl was actually a little funny. Look at her legs shaking with fear. But even she still dared to point at Shane even with fear.
"I think you had a bad dream last night. You even slept while walking. If it wasn't for Mr. Tim seeing you out, you would have fallen into the pool and drowned." said Shane.
"What? That can't be! It was obviously Mr. Tim last night who made me fail to escape. Why is he the one who saved me?" said Valery in disbelief.
"If you don't believe me, you can come with me to check the CCTV footage. And because you went out in the middle of the night and almost fell into the pool, Mr. Keenan scolded Mr. Tim and gave him a punishment!" said Shane, making Valery start to waver. Was it really... that last night, just a dream? Her mind began to fight with her previous beliefs. But she was very sure, that what happened last night was very real. And, oh! She should still have a bruise from hitting the table when she was about to run away. That wound must still be there, and it can be evidence! she thought. The girl then began to pull up her pants and check her knee, which was hit last night.
"This is weird! Not even a bruise? Obviously, the pain of hitting the table last night was very real, but why is there no trace of it?" The confused girl began to doubt herself.
Was last night really just a dream?" muttered Valery feeling confused.
Shane looked at the girl who was still confused. Then, to convince her, he took out his cellphone and gave her last night's CCTV footage." Look! You walked out of the room alone and went towards the pool blindfolded." Shane said. Fortunately, the CCTV footage can still be edited and manipulated, so he can use it to convince the girl.
"Ah, it seems to be true!" Valery, although still looking a little confused in the end, could only admit her mistake. Maybe the thing she saw last night was really her dream. Valery scratched her head in confusion.
Today, Valery was still not ready to go to school because it coincided with the holiday. So on this morning, the girl sat while slicing pieces of steak awkwardly at the large dining table with Keenan and Shane, who did not pay much attention to her. They were just busy with their own food, and absolutely no one started a conversation.
Valery slowly began to put the meat into her mouth while alternately looking at Keenan and Shane, who were sitting at the same table with her.
"That sucks!" the curse instantly made Valery pull back the meat that was almost in his mouth and put it back on the plate quickly. Just then Shane and Valery turned around as soon as they heard the complaint from Keenan.
"You... little girl! Stop looking at me like I'm a man-eating monster!" warned Keenan. At that time Valery could only gulp his saliva with difficulty while his legs were trembling. In his dream last night, this person was indeed a man-eating monster!
"Uncle, I'm done eating. I'll go take care of work first." Shane got up from his chair and left. Valery pushed back her chair to leave, but the sound of Keenan's deliberate coughing made her undo her intentions and sit quietly again.
"Finish your food! Don't waste food!" Keenan ordered. Of course, the girl immediately obeyed and hurriedly ate her breakfast.
"Eva!" called Keenan to one of his servants.
"Yes, sir?"
"Get me the car keys I usually use! They're in the drawer in the living room."
"Okay, sir!"
Eva returned with Keenan's car keys. The man took them, stood up, and pulled Valery away from there.
"Wait! Where are you taking me?"
