Love me, Mr. Duke

Chapter 9.Calling

...~Love Me My Lord Duke~...

...~oOo0oOo~...

When I opened my eyes, it was already noon. I soon realized that Carxen had disappeared from beside me. I sat my body down slowly and leaned against the bed repellent while rubbing my eyes.

'What was a dream last night?'

When I saw the old towel last night I used to dry Carxen's hair on the edge of the sofa, a small smile was etched on my face. Because that means last night wasn't a dream. Carxen really came to my room.

"Mrs, is there something that makes you happy today? The Madam's face beamed," chirped Ivone my personal servant, who was opening the window curtain, she occasionally looked at me.

"Right, I'm happy, last night, Mr. Duke spent the night with me." Then I smiled at Ivone.

Ivone, that shoulder-length brunette girl looked at me with a blushing face, and widened eyes.

'What are you imagining Ivone. Wouldn't it be natural for me to sleep in one bed with Carxen.'

"Didn't you see Master Duke coming out of this room?"

Ivone put a bucket to wash my face on the small table next to the bed, "No Madam. As soon as I came, there was only Madam in the room."

'It's free for him to sleep in my room if no one sees him coming out of here.'

I let out a huffed breath, holding my forehead, "I feel annoyed..."

"Excuse me, ma'am," a man's voice came from behind the door with the knock of the door several times.

"I'm up, please enter Alfonso" I said as I got off the bed.

Ivone wore a scarf to cover my shoulders and chest because of my bright clothes.

I walked over to Alfonso, "Is there anything you want to say?"

Alfonso was the butler at Callisto's residence. I don't know exactly how old he is, it looks like he's about 40. Despite looking old face to face, Alfonso's appearance was dashing like a middle-aged man, he also did not wear glasses.

"Mr Duke is calling the Madam to the study now," Alfonso said.

'Carxen called? Didn't I hear wrong just now... What does he need to call me on such a sunny day?'

"Then, tell Mr. Duke, I'll get ready first. It won't be long."

"Good Mistress. Then excuse me."

Without further ado Alfonso immediately came out of my room. His cold attitude was the same as Carxen's.

I took a deep breath, "What in their previous lives were grandparents and grandchildren...?" muttered.

Ivone who was standing behind me sounded chuckling softly.

"I will prepare warm water for the Lady to take a bath" Ivone chirped.

I turned to Ivone, "Please help you in the future."  Then I smiled warmly at him.

Ivone's hazelnut eyes widened, he seemed a little surprised to hear my words, "Me too, please help Madam in the future," he replied, he immediately lowered his head in embarrassment.

Ivone helped me get ready. Starting from preparing warm water in the bathtub, choosing a dress for me, to dress me.

Finished getting ready, I immediately went to Carxen's study alone, located on the first floor of the western section.

Every time the servants passed me, they would bow and greet me. To be honest I'm still not used to such treatment. Even though I tried to adjust, I still felt uncomfortable. If I can be honest I am more comfortable in being treated as usual, without distinguishing the status of master or subordinate.
