The luxurious horse carriage seemed to be walking from a distance. Unaccompanied by his servant or assistant, the man sitting inside looked gloomy with a blank look.
Although his encounter with his father was only a moment, but the journey he had to take was very time consuming. When he arrived at his home, it was late.
Without caring about the butler who greeted him, he immediately went to his study. Daryl's expression, which returned to normal, now made the old man sad. He's been used to Daryl's bright face for a week.
Maybe he still had time to see Ashley, but there were many things he had to take care of at that time. Due to his father's decision, Daryl had to make many changes and make reports about his father's transfer.
Full night until morning, Daryl was still in his study taking care of the files.
Realizing that his master was not in the room, Daryl's personal servant guessed that his master must be at work. Therefore, he did not dare to disturb him.
When his assistant knocked on the door, the man who had worked all night did not answer. Without waiting any longer, Will immediately opened the door and went inside. Only he dared to do that.
Just like before, the days where the man had yet to meet Ashley. He just focuses on working and working without caring about his surroundings.
Not because of his likes, of course. Because he felt it was his duty and there was nothing he wanted to do.
"Duke Grekstine said something?"
Will waited for an answer to his question for a few seconds before Daryl answered him.
"He moved west." The man replied without the slightest respect when referring to his father.
Will who also knew the nature of the third prince was not too surprised. What puzzled him now was Daryl's unstable position.
If Daryl is neutral, it's not a problem. But his father will not give up his son that easily, he paski will take him along.
The thing is, Daryl lives in the eastern faction's territory. If his father invites Daryl to join the west, it is tantamount to settling in enemy territory.
All his activities would be easily monitored, and his movements would definitely be complicated.
The split of family members is not new there, but Will, who knows Daryl and the third prince, knows that father and son will still be in the same camp. Whatever happens.
Without being told by his master, Will had already understood Duke Grekstine's plan.
"I've changed everything on the left, you just adjust."
Daryl massaged his upper nose, just below the eyebrows. Trying to restore the focal point of his vision that began to fall apart.
"Rest. You've been working all night." Guess Will saw his master still wearing the same clothes as yesterday.
Following the advice of his assistant, Daryl intended to momentarily rest his eyes. He then stood up from his chair leaving 2 stacks of tall papers on his desk.
He laid his body on the sofa and closed his eyes. It didn't take long before he fell asleep.
About an hour later a waiter knocked on the door to deliver breakfast. As Daryl was sleeping, he returned and brought the food with him.
There, cold dishes are considered unfit for consumption. Only for the standard of nobility and restaurants. Therefore, they would rather take him away than let him cool down.
In about 3 hours Daryl fell asleep, before he woke up and continued his work.
Continuously dabbling with the pile of papers made them not even eat all day.
The waiter then came to make tea and bring food to fill their stomachs, but Daryl did not touch it. Without caring for his master, Will eats everything, even Daryl's.
Sometimes it is a little bit rude.
As the day began to afternoon, Will glanced at Daryl once in a while, but his master still remained focused on his work.
"You don't want to go see him today?"
Daryl is still writing.
Then he realized Will's intentions and stopped. The gloomy eyes of the man suddenly disappeared. Will just shook his head inexhaustibly. He became increasingly curious about women who could play the on/off button Daryl.
Daryl then looked at Will as if asking what he should do.
"I'll go when this is over."
"Mr Daryl." Call Will a little assertive.
With her innocent face that had just returned, Daryl once again looked at his assistant.
"You haven't cleaned yourself out of the bedroom. Take a shower."
"You don't want to be labeled as Smell, do you?" Continue with a face full of contempt.
Will is a man who likes to be soft-spoken like Ashley. But the expression on his face this time looks real, not just melted.
Daryl immediately sniffed his own body, checking that his body odor was as bad as it was.
"I don't smell it too much." Said while checking.
"Your nose is already broken because it's used to it." Will replied casually as he continued his work.
With a little annoyance he obeyed the words of his assistant.
Although Will has always looked like a bad boy, he is actually very understanding. Daryl was well aware of that.
While walking towards the door, the man said,
"If you want something, just say it. I'll do it."
"2 months off." Will answered quickly, who then only responded with the sound of the door closing.
"Both two months of holiday!!!"
Daryl still pretends not to hear Will's screams that are still heard even though he is far from his study.
...****************...
Finished getting ready he went straight to the casino, where he used to meet Ashley.
One hour, two hours, he's still waiting. But the woman still did not come.
It wasn't raining that day, so there was still a chance Ashley would come. He thought, is it because the way he played improved so that the woman felt bored? But Ashley's mood still looks good 2 days ago.
He continued to speculate because no information could answer his question. He began to feel that maybe Ashley did not come because yesterday the woman was waiting for Daryl, but he did not come.
Of course it's impossible. But the man's mind was out of control.
After waiting until midnight, he returned to his residence with a lethargic face.
Because his study lamp was off, he believed Will had finished all the paper. However, instead of going back to his room, he instead kicked his assistant room.
"What the fuck, you!?" Will protests that ignore manners when his working hours are over.
He reluctantly listens to Daryl and all his speculations about Ashley's absence.
"That's karma, you know?" Ejek Will, referring to the incident this afternoon.
"Looks like you want extra work." Threatened Daryl who immediately wiped the smile on his assistant's face.
In order not to be given an overflow of work with a fixed salary, he also tried to convince Daryl if it was not his fault. He also said that maybe Ashley will come back tomorrow.
Unfortunately, Ashley's mission at the casino was completed yesterday. As for today, while Daryl was waiting for his arrival, Ashley was waiting for someone else somewhere else.
"Oh, kira cave lo fail." Greet the woman.
