Chapter 5

It's late in the evening and I'm still outside my room because I talked to the maid to cook first so Grant can eat. I don't even know why I became his instant nanny for today's video.

"Alright, ma'am. I'll deliver it to your room when the food is ready." Je said- our long-time maid.

I entered my room and found Grant still asleep. I sighed and came closer to him, then felt his forehead.

He's not burning anymore. But I wonder why he has a wound on his shoulder and Rett doesn't seem to know about it.

"I'm really going to charge you dearly here, Grant." I whispered, and wet the towel to change the towel on his forehead.

After making sure he was fine, I went out of the house to hang the towel I used for him, but I was surprised to see nanny Abe.

"Nanny Abe, what are you doing here? It's late!"

Nanny Abe's face was full of concern when looking at me. She immediately held my hand. "Kapilan, have you seen Grant?"

I frowned and nodded. I saw the relief on her face when I nodded, as if she was relieved by what I said. "Thank God!" She said.

"How is he?" nanny Abe asked me worriedly. Does nanny Abe know about Grant's wound? And what is she with Grant?

Why is she worried like that?

"He’s fine nanny. He's just wounded in-" Nanny Abe immediately covered my mouth so I kept quiet.

“Shh! That's enough, Kapilan.” I suddenly felt nervous. I'm confused and I don't understand anything. Who is Grant? Isn't he Rett’s assistant?

"Who is Grant?"

"Rett's personal assistant," Nanny answered seriously. But why do I feel that the nanny is lying?

"Why did that happen to him? Who did it?” Nanny Abe couldn't answer. She was just looking at me worriedly. "Nanny?"

“I can't say, Kapilan. I'm sorry. But I beg you to let Grant stay here until he feels better." I want to know everything but my head nods to nanny. Nanny smiled at me and thanked me, then left. I was left dumbfounded and wanted to know more about why that happened to Grant.

I just went inside when nanny Abe was out of my sight. I entered the room again and saw Grant already sitting on the bed. Who is Grant? Syndicate member? Why does he have a wound on his shoulder? Who did it? This situation is crazy! I couldn't get any sensible answers to my questions.

Grant looked at me and I saw his eyes twinkle. He stood up and came closer to me, then wrapped his hand around my waist. "You took care of me? Thank you, captain.” Instead of smiling, I tapped his forehead. "Why do you have a wound on your shoulder?" I asked. I’m fvcking curious as fvck.

"I just slipped in the falls and something sharp pierced my shoulder. You left me yesterday." He leaned forward and rested his chin on my shoulder. Why is this fool so clingy? And who said he could hug me?

"Leave it in front of me, Grant, and you might forget we're not close."

"Shh.. My head hurts." I didn't move. He said his head hurts. Does he have a headache? He should rest then.

"On the bottom..." he added, so I slapped him and he screamed.

This pervert!

“CAPTAIN!” He grumbled because I just hit his wound. I looked at him. That's for him.

"That mouth of yours.. Argh! You’re very rude. You want me to cut your head on the bottom so that it won’t hurt anymore?" He grimaced and sat down on the bed.

"I prefer you to svck it than cut." I immediately blushed at what he said and closed my eyes because otherwise I might have dropped his head on the ground floor.

Our maid knocked and brought the food inside. I took it to give it to Grant, who just stared at me seriously.

"Let's seize fire first and you have to eat so you can take medicine." He nodded and his eyes twinkled again. Very happy with what is happening. I don't know what made him happy.

"Eat first," I said.

He shook his head and opened his mouth. "Feed me," he said. My jaw dropped to the floor. I don't know where he gets his thick face from. Last time I checked, only his shoulder was injured and his hand was not broken.

"If I cut off your hand, would there be a reason to feed you?! Would you like it?" I saw him wince at my threat and eventually he moved to eat. I gave him a hard time and went straight to bed, then scrolled through InSta.

Some random people's videos came through my feeds so I stayed there while Grant ate. Until I went to the section about a man from a foreign country whom I did not know. The only caption is the mysterious and handsome prince. There are photos of the prince with his face covered in all the camera shots.

"Why is it covered? Is he ugly?”

I peeked at Grant and he was eating well. It's good for his wound to heal quickly. "Grant, where are your parents?" I asked in surprise. He stopped eating and drank water.

“They are far away…” That was all he said. Oh okay. It seems he doesn't want to talk about it.

"Grant, have you ever been to another country?" He faced me with a frown. "Why did you ask?" frowned when he asked.

"Nothing. I just asked."

"Not yet. I-I've never been to another country,” he said. Yeah right.. Why would he go to another country?

It's not in the down-and-out way, but he’s just Rett’s personal assistant, so it's impossible for him to afford to travel.

"Why did you ask?" he asked curiously while drinking water. I immediately showed him the photo of the handsome and mysterious prince that I saw on Reels.

"You look alike," when I said that, Grant spewed out the water he was drinking, which made my eyes widen.
