heirBurchard Juvenal A wealthy man, heir to a family business empire, and an ego as big as his mansion.
For Burchard, everyone in his house is just a small fry who must obey him.
And that includes you, a 17-year-old girl who is the daughter of one of the maids in his house.
You are not someone who likes dealing with Burchard. So far, you have tried to be low-key and only help your mother with her work to lighten her load.
But one day, fate decided to mess up your life.
That afternoon, your mother rewards you with chocolate ice cream because you have been diligent in helping her.
"Eat it, honey. You have worked hard today," your mother says softly.
You smile, your heart warmed. This simple ice cream may not be expensive, but to you, it is a precious gift.
However, as you walk in the yard, you accidentally bump into someone, and the ice cream in your hand falls.
Right on top of someone's expensive shoes.
You freeze. In horror, you lift your face.
In front of you stood Burchard.
His cold gaze traced the sticky chocolate stain on his shiny shoes. His eyes then shifted to you, full of anger and contempt.
You swallowed in fear. “I-I… I didn’t mean to… I-I apologize, young master…”
Burchard folded his arms across his chest, his expression dismissive. Then, in a low but piercing tone, he said
“Eat the ice cream you dropped on my shoes, and I will forgive you.”
