MY NAME IS DAISY - NOT A BAD DUCK
4. She's very pretty

Daisy went to college in just three years. Because taking a fast track program or college acceleration. He graduated along with Maxi and Yazid, who should have graduated first from Daisy. They studied at the same college.

That afternoon, Daisy receives an email from Grandpa Edoardo's secretary. He was called to meet Grandpa.

After nine years of living in the Edoardo residence, only this time Daisy was called to meet grandfather. During this time when meeting at a Monday breakfast, Friday dinner or Sunday garden party, grandfather never said much, most just greeting him.

Unlike the grandmother, who occasionally plays to Fiore's house and takes Daisy around the park.

Daisy went into the main house.

BRUUUUUUUUKKKKKK

Daisy fell to the floor when someone of high stature hit her.

"Well you little duck" Maxi muttered in surprise as she crouched down next to Daisy looking for her glasses that had slipped off during the fall.

"Here are your glasses" Maxi put on Daisy's glasses carefully. She was silent for a moment when Daisy tidied up her bangs to cover her forehead again.

"I'm not a duck" Daisy said, making Maxi aware of her silence.

"Don't say thank you for putting your glasses on, you ugly duckling" Maxi grumbled.

"you hit me. Should apologize" Daisy said.

Maxi just shook his head. "Mmmhh.little boy" he murmured.

"Pairing the glasses at this angle" Daisy muttered as she fixed the slanted location of her glasses.

"You're a little duck!!" said Maxi glaring.

"Miss Daisy, the great sir is waiting for you. Come with me" Mr. Alberto, the butler of the main house approached Daisy

"Well, sir" Daisy rushed in Mr. Alberto's footsteps. Leaving the staring Maxi with a question mark filled look.

"Sit down" Grandpa Edoardo put the book he had read when Daisy had arrived before him.

Daisy sits.

"Congratulations on your graduation at a very young age" said Grandpa Edoardo. Daisy surprised. Turns out Grandpa knew that he had graduated college.

"Thank you, Grandpa" Daisy said slowly.

"You're my proud grandson. You are so smart as your father, Alessio my favorite son" Grandpa Edoardo said in a raucous voice.

"Thank you for making Grandpa proud of all your achievements. You made the Edoardo surname back fragrant in the world of education. Every grandfather is present at social activities involving the best schools and campuses in Brown city. Grandpa always heard about your achievements in school and college"

"I'm sorry Grandpa, never once came to see you when your father and mother were still around. Grandfather was too selfish and arrogant to accept your father's refusal. He'd rather be a doctor in a small town than follow my orders to continue the family business like his brothers" Grandpa continued.

Daisy was silent. He really didn't expect that Grandpa would say that. Grandpa loves dad very much.

"You're seventeen tomorrow, which means you're old enough to make a decision. You can go back to Amber to continue managing your mother's company and your father's hospital."

"Or help Grandfather in the Edoardo family company occupy the position that your father should have occupied all this time" said Grandfather staring Daisy in.

Daisy caught the hopeful tone of grandfather's voice.

"Consider before deciding. Let me know if you're sure of your decision" Grandpa Edoardo said.

"Tomorrow at eight o'clock in the morning I will give my answer to Grandpa" Daisy replied confidently.

"alright. Grandpa wait for your answer tomorrow" Grandpa said, calling Mr. Alberto to escort Daisy out of the room.

"I'm sorry, Grandpa" Daisy passed out of the room.

"Great master loves you very much, Miss" said Mr. Alberto in the elevator.

"During this time he always took care of Miss even though she was invisible" said Mr. Alberto again.

"I know, sir"Daisy's answer was slow.

They arrived at the main lobby. Grandpa's work room must be passed using special access. There's a special elevator up there. That special access seems to have only been made about five years ago.  Because as far as Daisy knows, Clarissa used to sneak into the grandfather's office through the stairs.

"I'm going to the library, sir. Thank you for driving me" Daisy said.

"Together, Miss. Please. I said back" Mr. Alberto passed to the servant's office in the east wing of the main house lobby.

Daisy is looking for some books to read in her spare time. He really likes to read.

Daisy has a book by Jim Collins called Good to Great. A book that explains how a company makes a big leap can not only be good but be great. In the book described several other strategies: level 5 leadership is the portrayal of a leader who is professional but still humble, so that the ambitious sense they have is not for personal interests but for the benefit of the company. Daisy once read a glimpse on the internet. But he would rather read it directly in the book.

"Maxi, I was looking for you from earlier" Cleo's voice caused Daisy to be instantly distracted from the book she was reading. Apparently there's Maxi here, it's appropriate that he met Maxi before meeting grandfather in the lobby, apparently he wanted to find a book. Think Daisy.

"Cleo, stop. What the hell are you doing?.Go leave me" Maxi's voice. Daisy gasps.

"Let's calm down here deserted. I turned off the cctv" said Cleo.

"Stop Cleo!!. What do you mean sitting on my lap? wakeup!" Maxi's voice held back in annoyance.

"I like you" Cleo said again.

Daisy tried not to hear the conversation. He settles towards the chair at the table west of the library room. He's looking for his airplug in the bag.

"You don't go crazy Cleo. We're cousins. Don't make Grandpa angry" Maxi said.

"Cousin? we're not cousins. I know about that. You're just the adopted son of Luca's uncle and Victoria's aunt" Cleo said.

"Whatchu mean? don't talk recklessly" denied Maxi.

"Not to pretend. I'm sure you'll already know that we're not cousins"

"alright. Next time I'll try to seduce you again. Who studied hard yes. To have provisions, if one day removed from the Edoardo family and do not get a legacy. At least be able to work at another company" Cleo said. It seemed that Cleo left behind Maxi who was screaming in annoyance while throwing a thick book on the floor.

Daisy froze in her chair. He couldn't believe what he had just heard. He quickly put up his earplug. Worried that there were voices he didn't deserve to hear anymore.

Daisy closed her eyes to collect the pieces of concentration that had broken. Maxi and Cleo's conversation was very disturbing to him.

Suddenly someone patted him on the shoulder from behind, making him surprised. "Aaaahhh" he shouted.

"What do you want?" Shouted Daisy wriggling on her seat as her mouth was smothered from behind. Daisy tries to let go of the hand that held her.

After he managed to let go, he bit the hand. Then he nudged the stomach of the man behind him

"Aaaau is sick" Maxi grimaces in pain in front of Daisy.

Daisy opened the airplug.

"Why are you surprising and smothering me?" daisy asked with a face still terrified. His two hands were still preparing to fight back if Maxi tried to attack him again.

"I'm calling you. You just shut up. I finally pat your shoulder. You even screamed very loudly, all the servants could come here. I held her so that she would stop screaming, I was bitten and attacked" Maxi said, still holding her stomach.

"I'm wearing earplugs. If I read, I would rather wear it. So you can focus" Daisy showed her a pair of tiny pink airplugs.

"aaah. So you haven't heard anything since?" Maxi ensure.

"What was that noise?" Daisy asks, pretending not to understand.

"Mmmmhh, maybe it was a rat. Yesa .. rat voice. I'll have Mr. Alberto check it out. It can be dangerous if a mouse gets into the library" Maxi replied nervously as she rushed away leaving Daisy holding back a laugh.

How could there be rats. Think Daisy. Edoardo's residence always routinely conducts general pest and rodent control. Think Daisy.

Pov Maxi's

The little girl with golden brown hair is now a teenager. Big glasses and braids with bangs, so the appearance since it first came nine years ago. He never once changed his appearance.

At first the girl was just a snot to me. My youngest uncle's son who has been living in the village. Because their uncle and wife and son died in an accident. Grandpa finally brought us to live. Because of her appearance, she was often the subject of the banter of my two sisters Marie and Joane. They even call him a bad duck. I also called him a duck. Because he's funny and if it goes very slowly. To be honest, I think that girl is beautiful. It's just that covered appearance like a bookworm that is very far from the stylish style.

The girl's name is Daisy. He turned out to be very smart. I heard he's always been in acceleration classes at all levels of his school. That makes me so cool. He was always the best student in his school. That's what makes Marie and Joane hate her even more. Because Daisy used to graduate from high school. He was two years old under Joane. I've heard you compare Marie and Joane to Daisy, when Marie got bad grades in all her college subjects and was expelled from campus due to too often going to the club and Joane who was very lazy to study. It made Marie and Joane's hatred even greater for the golden-haired girl.

I often quietly pay attention to it when there are events together such as breakfast and dinner together. The most fun is the garden party. Because I could freely look at him from a distance while painting a sketch of his face. She's very pretty. He thought by hiding behind his big glasses and braided bangs he would look ugly. That makes it even more funny and adorable.

I kept an eye on Marie, Joane and Cleo who were always bothering her. Especially since Clarissa, my detective-like cousin already living in the dorm makes the girl always alone and makes it easy for her three older cousins to bother her.

Although sometimes Edro and Caesar accompanied him, but the two boys were still like children.

Currently, he has successfully graduated from college with me who is six years older than him. We went to the same college. Either he is too quick to finish the education or I am too slow. It seems both reasons are true.

He's on the fast track program. While I often only take compulsory courses in a few semesters. He also took a year off from college. As a result, my college was finished in five years. Because I had to start helping my father in the company and there were some affairs that required me to go to England often when I was twenty years old. I also worry that my brain will not be able to pursue good grades if I take too many courses.

Last afternoon I accidentally hit him in the main lobby of the house. I'm going to the library. I'm looking for some books to read. When his glasses came off and his bangs were blown. I saw her from a very close distance, she looked very pretty with her cheerful eyes and plump eyelashes. Instantly I was fascinated. I do like him. I even thought of a way to get along with him. But when it was near him, I was pretending to be fierce. I feel insecure.

He was welcomed by Mr. Alberto. I heard Grandpa was waiting for him in the study. That means Grandpa Edoardo called him.

If grandfather had already specifically called him out meant that there were two possibilities. Make your grandfather angry or make you very proud of him.

And the second possibility is the most reasonable.

While I was busy reading books in the library, Cleo suddenly called out to me.

"Maxi, I was looking for you from earlier" Cleo's voice surprised me. What business is he looking for me.

Unexpectedly, she sat on my lap and kissed my cheek

"Cleo, stop. What are you doing. Go leave me" I snapped at Cleo. He even woke up lazily. I'm afraid there's a Mr. Alberto or a waiter looking.

"Just calm down, Maxi. Here deserted.I turned off the cctv" said Cleo. Eeh has he gone mad? how dare to turn off the cctv system library.

"Stop, Cleo!!. What do you mean sitting on my lap? wakeup!" My voice was full of emphasis restraining the upset. Because Cleo was still lazily getting up from my lap.

"I like you" Cleo said. The sound of it sounds disgusting to me.

"You don't go crazy, Cleo. We're cousins. Don't make grandpa angry" I said.

"Cousin? we're not cousins. I know about that. You're just the adopted son of Uncle Luca and Aunt Victoria" Cleo said to make me stand up, making Cleo fall to the floor. He grimaces slowly.

"Whatchu mean? don't talk recklessly" I argue.

"Not to pretend. I'm sure you'll already know that we're not cousins" he held my shoulder.

"alright. Next time I'll try to seduce you again. Who studied hard yes. To have provisions, if one day removed from the Edoardo family and do not get a legacy. At least able to work at another company" Cleo left me, winking her eyes. Iish is disgusting

"Aarrhghhhh...!!!" I shouted in annoyance as I threw a thick book on the floor.

I felt like my emotions were going to overflow my head. I paced back and forth in the hallway between the bookshelves. How could Cleo possibly know of my origin and dare to make use of it.

Suddenly my eyes saw a little duck sitting on a chair at the west desk of the library.

Huh !!!. What if he heard my conversation with Cleo? Could dangerous.

I'm approachinghe. I'm callinghim. "Duck...ugly ducks!!" he just shut up.

I pat her on the shoulder from behind, making her jump out of the chair and scream.

"Ohahaahhh.." Addduuh how this. He screamed very loudly. I closed his mouth so he would shut up.

"What do you want?" He thrashed while trying to scream in the openness of my hand in his mouth.

He let go of my hand that closed his mouth. Daan. Not only that, he elbowed my stomach pretty tight. How could this geeky girl have that much energy. I grimaced in pain.

"Aaaau's sick"my thesis.

She took something out of her ear, a pair of little pink airplugs.

"Why are you surprising and smothering me?" her question was still with a terrified expression with both of her hands still preparing to fight back as if I was going to attack her.

I know that kind of attitude is only done by people who study martial arts. Apparently he quite mastered martial techniques. Hmmmh cool too.

"I'm calling you. You just shut up. I finally pat your shoulder. You even screamed very loudly, all the servants could come here. I held her to stop screaming, I was bitten and attacked" I said with my hands still holding my stomach. It hurts so much.

"I'm wearing earplugs. If I read, I would rather wear it. So you can focus" she showed me a pair of little pink airplugs. I saw him just now.

"aaah. So you haven't heard anything since?" I'll make sure he doesn't hear anything Cleo says.

"What was that noise?" He asked me back.

"Mmmmhh.maybe the sound of a mouse. yaa. I'll have Mr. Alberto check it out. It can be dangerous if a rat enters the library" I replied nervously as I hurried away from the little duck.

It's good that he didn't hear anything. Because he was busy reading a book with an airplug covering his ears.

Huh, Cleo is really crazy. Maybe he came to seduce me. I am very handsome and there are many girls who like me. Cleo is also pretty, but she's not my taste either. The girl who only knows how to dress up and squander parents' money, with a brain almost empty. My taste is of course like that little duck.

I'm sure the information Cleo knew about my identity came from her parents who did not seem to like me. Never once greeted me. Just like Yazid always hated me.

I sat on the terrace of my room on the second floor.

I rarely sit on this terrace. My life has always seemed too busy with college, my father's family in England and my father's company.

I'll be graduating in a few days. So my busyness has begun to decrease because there is no longer a lecture schedule.

Tonight a full moon appears in the clear sky. It's exquisite. How often have I missed this beauty that God created. It was so easy, just by sitting on the terrace and looking at the sky. The mood became calm.

The Edoardo Residence area forms a wide U. The atmosphere is deserted. Seemed empty in every house.

Our house was opposite Fiore's, where the little duck lived. Although the distance is quite far, but it is quite clear to see the presence of someone on the terrace of one of the rooms of the house Fiore. It's just that it can't be seen who that person really is.

I took my telescope. Trying to look at Fiore's house.

Mmmmmhhh....Did I not see wrong?

A girl was sitting on the balcony of her room. Wearing long-sleeved pajamas in pink. Golden brown wavy hair beautifully smoothed without bangs. Without glasses. She's very pretty. He was drinking something from his glass.

Heart's pounding. I held my chest with my right hand. My left hand held my little binoculars. Why be deg degan. I do know that she is actually pretty. But do not think if it turns out she is as beautiful as it is without wide glasses and braided hair berponinya.

I looked back through my telescope. He doesn't exist. Where the hell is he??

Suddenly he appeared again from behind an ornamental plant.

He waved his hand at me.

Huh uh??? So he knows I'm picking on him?

Then he turned to his room. Eits, he turned around again looking towards me. He stuck out his tongue and played his eyeballs round and round silly.

Haha....I laughed hard at his behavior. You little duck. He could have hurt me when he found out that I was picking on him.

He closed the door and curtains to his room. Her room lights were turned off. He was sleeping apparently. I still want to see it.
