Trapped in Love Miss Arogan
76.

The car they were riding in drove through the streets from the spacious courtyard of the luxurious mansion.

"We're almost there" said Mario, as the car passed a final bend.

'Wow, magnificent!' justin was impressed. He looked closely at the mansion building owned by Mr. Romanov. Justin looked at Mario. "Does Mr Romanov live there?"

"Yes, of course. I also live there," replied Mario while staring at the magnificent building, his words suddenly surprised Justin. "In addition to me, all the servants you meet here also live in that mansion."

"Together with Mr Romanov?" ask Justin.

"No, I mean the back mansion that is specifically for the servants." said Mario.

"Special for the waiter? Is there anything like that?" Justin looked at Mario.

Mario nodded, "Master Romanov has another mansion whose position is behind this mansion building. The size is no less large than this one, but not more luxurious and very enough for the residence of the servants and workers here."

"It's amazing." Justin replied. "It would certainly be nice to live in that place."

"Yes, it's so fun. You'll meet a lot of people every day." replied Mario. "You can also stay there if you want."

"Together with the servants," asked Justin enthusiastically.

"No. I mean in the main mansion, with Mr. Romanov."

Justin chuckles. "Where can it be like that. I'm not even a nobody."

Mario only responded to the young man's remark with a small chuckle. He knew what Mr. Romanov had planned for this young man. And one day Justin will indeed stay with Mr. Romanov in that luxurious mansion. And that's why he said that to Justin.

Soon, Mario turns the car abruptly and stops at a large parking lot. Justin followed Mario out of the car after a bit of trouble opening the door.

As soon as he set foot outside the car, Justin immediately stared around the parking lot. The first thing Justin noticed at that time was a dozen vehicles parked in the parking lot. If calculated, it looks like there are about twelve cars and also several motorcycles. Mr. Romanov's family must have been so rich that it had so many vehicles like this.

And what is this? Even the parking is so neat. There are some white ornamental statues that are near the parking lot. While near they are also seen ornamental trees surrounding a large fountain in the middle of the park in front of the mansion building.

Now Justin was just standing still, his body fixated in place. For a moment he forgot the situation and just enjoyed the beauty of the scenery before him. Everything looks like a picture. The garden, the fountain, his house, even the driveway he passed a moment ago looked so incredible. Everything was really neat and Justin had never seen it before.

One thing Justin knows right now. The house is so amazing. No, it's not a house, but it's a palace.

"So this is the young man,"

A voice breaks Justin's daydream. Justin looked over to see who had just spoken. A middle-aged man seemed to be stepping closer towards them. 

"Good afternoon, welcome to the mansion. My name is Paul, I am the personal assistant of Mr. Romanov. You must be Justin Kim, someone Mr. Romanov invited to dinner tonight."

"Good afternoon" Justin said, bowing half his body. "You're right, I'm Justin Kim."

"Have Mr Romanov come home yet?" ask Mario to Paul.

Paul nodded his head. "Mr Romanov came home from three in the afternoon. He seemed very enthusiastic about preparing for dinner. Since then he even spent time discussing with the chef about the menu that will be cooked tonight."

"Are you busy? Then that means I can't meet Mr Romanov now?" justin.

"Of course you can" said Paul.

"It seems like my job here is done. I'm leaving now." Mario told Justin and Paul. Justin replied with a smile and nodded his head in understanding.

"alright... Come on, come with me. Mr. Romanov must be looking forward to seeing you. Right now he is in the garden, gardening." said Paul politely.

Paul then began to step out to show the young man the way. They went to the park, where the master was.

Paul led Justin through a small road on the right side of the mansion. Through the big trees and enter directly to the garden behind the mansion.

"Master Romanov loved gardening here, he loved growing plants like flowers, fruit trees and other plants" Paul explained. "Isn't this a beautiful place?"

"Ah, yes." Justin agreed. For him everything in this mansion is beautiful and also extraordinary.

"You've come, Justin?"

Justin quickly turned his head and found a middle-aged man holding a crop of scissors. It was mister Romanov who was looking at him from the front there with a smile.

Justin smiled then scratched his back nape awkwardly. "I'm coming sir."

Mr. Romanov put the crop scissors he held onto the ground. He took off his gloves and approached Justin.

"It's still an hour away for dinner, isn't it too early to come? Why don't you tell Grandpa you've arrived? How long have you been here?" mr. Romanov showered Justin with so many questions, he was so happy that Justin came here.

"I-I just arrived, sir." replied Justin.

Mr. Romanov laughed crisply then put his arm around Justin's shoulder. "You must be tired, right?"

Justin shook his head slowly. "no-no, I was just a little confused looking for the address earlier." replied Justin nervously.

"Hm, you should memorize the way to this house, because from now on you will come here more and more.."

"H-huh?" justin asked confusedly.

"Yes, from today onwards this house is your home too!" mr. Romanov said with a smile.

Justin rounded. "How can this place be-"

"Because dinner's still an hour away. Then you just sit down and accompany Grandpa for a while here. Grandpa's gonna finish working on his new crop after that we go inside, get ready for dinner."

Mr. Romanov then turns to Paul who looks amazed at the closeness of Mr. Romanov and Justin. Their closeness even exceeds that of his own two grandchildren who have always been known to be against him.

"Have my two grandchildren come?" ask Mr. Romanov to Paul.

Paul was jolted from his daydream. "B-not yet sir. But they said it was coming when the time was nearing dinner." replied Paul, after which his eyes refocused on Justin.

Mr. Romanov nodded then re-embraced Justin's shoulder and led him to walk to the chair in the park.

"Sit down first and accompany grandfather to work here" said Mr. Romanov who was nodded by Justin.

Mr. Romanov turned to Paul, "Paul, you take care of the dinner preparation. Let nothing be less."

"Well sir" said his assistant who was then nodding back by Mr. Romanov until finally the assistant was then gone.

"Well, then grandfather will continue this work first" said Mr. Romanov put his gloves back on.
