Cedrick looked up to find Eason’s mouth twitching as though stifling his laughter. “Are you laughing at me?” asked Cedrick.
“No, I—”
“Your bonus for this month will be reduced by half.”
The amusement on Eason’s face faded and was replaced by devastation. “Master Cedrick…”
“Keep talking and you’ll lose all of it.” Cedrick stared at him, leaving no room for questioning.
“…” Eason realized how easily an employee would suffer when their boss was this hard to please.
Soon, their car arrived at Mason Estate as well.
The lights in Mason Estate shone brightly during the night, making it appear as though it was still daytime.
Under the moon, the sparkling lights on the trees made a perfect contrast that formed a unique scene.
When Albert heard the sound of the car’s engine turned off from the garage, he stood by the door to Ollie’s room and asked the servant anxiously. “Hurry, Master Cedrick is back. Is the Young Master ready yet?”
“Yes, he is,” said the servant before pushing Miles, who was dressed in silk pajamas, outside.
Miles’s eyes were filled with anger for being moved around like he was a toy. Half an hour ago, he was taken to the washroom by force for a bath and a change of clothes.
Albert threw all his clothes away after noticing how rough the materials of his t-shirt were and forced him to wear silk pajamas that fitted perfectly to the skin like a soft layer of body lotion.
He had to admit that the pajamas fitted perfectly, but the color was just too dull. The pajama was pitch-black and made him look old.
The maid helped to dry his hair gently with a towel before casually styling his hair into a slight curl.
Miles looked exceptionally fair after the bath, and with how delicate his features were, Albert’s heart melted when Miles glared at him with his cheeks puffed.
‘Young Master is so adorable,’ mused Albert to himself. He took Miles’s hand and led him downstairs while advising sincerely, “Young Master, Master Cedrick will be back soon. Whatever happened between you before, you have to take the initiative to apologize, okay?”
“Unbelievable.” Miles snorted before spotting a towering male figure before him.
Cedrick strode into the hall and removed his jacket; the servants took it respectfully and handed it onto the rack. When he looked up, his eyes happened to meet with Miles’ eyes which were filled with surprise.
Miles’s jaw dropped as he pointed at Cedrick with disbelief.
How…could this man look so much like him?
“You—”
“I, what?” Cedrick sank into the couch and pursed his lips in displeasure. “Is that something you should be doing to your senior? Come here.”
