My Little Prince's
Promises

(Masson's Point Of View)

"Sir, are you okay?"

That word sounded faint in my ear. I closed my eyes again with my vision still blurry.

I came back unconscious.

However, this characteristic pungent scent made my eyes reopen.

Typical nuances, hospital.

Yeah, I'm lying on a hospital bed now.

I was still weak to move some of my limbs. However, the man standing not far from where I was lying immediately ran over to me when he saw me awake.

He looked relieved to see me.

That guy, he sucks sometimes. But he always helped me.

"Do you feel better?"

I nodded slowly.

My eyes were on my feet.

Laurent who was standing next to me took a deep breath while reciting what the doctor had told me.

I had a leg injury that left me in a wheelchair for about six months. It's a long time for me who doesn't like to sit back all day.

Laurent helped me sit down, it's really upsetting.

"Laurent, get Jaden Arshon here."

He nodded then bailed out of the hospital room where I am now.

I looked at my two feet.

Long time, until Laurent went back to the room with my secretary Jaden Arshon.

"Jaden, I want someone to accompany me every hour."

"A nurse?"

"Yes, like that. But I don't want someone who works in a hospital. You understand what I mean, don't you." I grit my teeth.

Jaden Arshon nodded quickly. He immediately said goodbye leaving us.

"The driver of the car, what did you do to him?"

Laurent looked down, as if remembering and looking for a piece of paper containing answers piled up among other papers.

"We've cracked down on it without your consent, and for his family, we've given a nominal amount that we feel is enough."

I clucked then murmured."Too bad he's affected."

Laurent left immediately when I asked him to leave me alone. I want to calm down.

By ourselves.

><><><><><

The fresh air outside made me comfortable. I've been in this boring place for a few days.

Hah, now I can leave this place.

Laurent pushed my wheelchair, which I had to wear for the next few months.

I don't want to go home first. I want to smell the office.

The smell of copier ink, the smell of coffee belonging to my teammates.

And, that noise.

The noise I miss so much.

Especially when the evil boss assigns tasks to staff with short deadlines.

Really makes me miss because long time no visit the office.

"Where is Jaden Arshon?" I heard Laurent talking to one of the staff who had just returned from lunch break.

He left me alone in a wheelchair, in the middle of the office lobby.

Though there are passing hundreds of office employees who just came after lunch.

Isn't that a little sloppy?

One of the men in black immediately pushed my wheelchair to a safer place.

He then returned to his feet not far from me while positioning himself as if ready for any circumstances.

"Laurent."

The man ran towards me who was a bit annoyed. She smiled her typical smile, apologizing to me.

I just nodded slowly, leaving it alone.

"I'll just go around, take me around."

Laurent nodded, pushing this wheelchair. Take me around the office.

Everyone greeted me kindly, whether it was true or just something as a formality.

"Excuse me."

Jaden Arshon came with news for me.

It was clearly visible from the look on his face.

"Have you?"

Jaden Arshon nodded. He said if a partner of mine or rather my nurse, could start working tomorrow morning.

Before the current candidate Jaden Arshon, some time ago he brought five to six women to him for an interview. But the man rejected it outright without letting me see their resume myself.

He's the third man after Laurent.

Regretful, but I cannot get angry because of the attachment to the work procedure.

And today, he finally found someone he thought was right to join us.

At least that's what he said.

I wonder who that person is and if he fits the criteria of the worker I told Jaden Arshon the other day.

><><><><><

Today it is quite sunny to sunbathe in the courtyard of the house. I've been here for half an hour enjoying the warm sunshine.

Everything feels calming.

Actually, it bored me.

Every seven o'clock, I'm required to take medication. Then at two o'clock in the afternoon, I again had to take medicine. Then at seven o'clock in the night. Not including vitamins and coercion from those who make me want to leave this house.

I've never questioned anything about them.

But this really makes me dizzy.

Maybe because it should be drunk on time. Still, it can't be an excuse to force me.

And now, the three men are near me.

I asked him to eat breakfast and take medicine. Again, although it's not eight yet.

I'm shaking. Asking them to leave me, only Jaden Arshon walked away after seeing the new worker he had chosen.

It looks like the new worker just came, or he's already come but I don't know about it.

"Leave me alone. After this let the new worker take care of me."

The two men who were still standing not far from where I was nodded.

They were immediately saying goodbye.

Not long ago, Jaden Arshon my late secretary diligently came with a girl.

A gal.

Good, I know why Jaden Arshon hired that girl as a new worker here.

It was clearly visible. Hugely.

After the girl was given direction by Jaden Arshon, we were both left behind by her.

And everything became quiet, the girl seemed to be composing a sentence in her mind.

"The sun is beginning to burn, do you want to go back inside?"

Oh my God, that girl is so funny.

I stared straight without looking.

I want to know how much he's doing working for someone like me.

A waiter came, told me that breakfast was ready.

Good thing, he can do his first job.

He took me to the dining room, some people were already there.

I blinked my eyes at them, allowing them to leave us both and let me judge if he was good at his duty.

I remained silent, giving a blank look around me. My eyes stayed straight ahead without paying attention to the others.

I appreciated his efforts when he persuaded me to eat. Not bad, even though I felt treated like a child who refused to eat.

The girl looked frustrated and silent as if she was thinking.

A woman then came and told me that my time for sightseeing had come. And of course, the sweet girl took me for a walk. He tried to get me to talk even though I still didn't respond.

Finished with those streets, I was taken back to my room.

He helped me get into bed.

There was a knocking on the door.

Agatha came to ask that this sweet girl who accompanied me go to see Jaden Arshon. I don't know what else Jaden Arshon will discuss.

He said goodbye and of course I kept quiet.

I don't know how long I'm gonna shut up not responding to the girl. Let it go first. Maybe I'll change my mind about him.
