Ethan ordered his men as he used the fill in front of him.

Checking his watch, He stood up walking towards the window, It’s almost time for PetaI to return from school and he wanted to see her. Ethan didn’t want to force himself on her. He wants to take things slowly until she accepts him.

He had noticed how she blushed last night when he was staring at her bare thighs. She looked adorable,, He wanted to just be close to her and watch every little thing she do.

....

"Alright, Let’s take five minutes rest." The teacher said before he left the practice room.

Petal lowered the vine and picked her bag to take the wounds bandage to bandage her fingers that had small cuts on them, Practicing the violin was a very difficult thing, and Practicing for a long time, can make your hands hurt, That is something Petal had discovered during her Practicing time in the last five months, The cuts on her fingertips rarely heal only to have a new one, But she didn’t mind it as long as she was making a progress.

This was the third day of the beginning of the practice for the winter festival, In thither days, Petal and the rest of the students were Practicing from eight in the morning until the afternoon without a stop, It was a big festival and if their school won the first place, Petal will have lots of opportunities to meet famous violinist that she wished to meet.

After bandaging her fingertips, PetaI took out her phone to check it.

After another four hours of practicing, It was finally time to go home. Petal was hungry and exhausted but she was happy. She was getting better with each passing day and she felt proud of herself.

Getting into her car, She turned on the engine and drove back to the mansion. Fifteen minutes later, She arrived at the mansion.

"Welcome back miss." The janitor said to her.

PetaI smiled politically at him as she handed him the car keys and started to walk towards the mansion. She noticed that no one was in the mansion.

"Welcome back miss, PetaI, The food is ready, DO YOU want to eat?" The maid asked her.

Nodded her head, PetaI made her way upstairs to take a quick shower.

Once she was finished with the shower, PetaI wore her clothes quickly and got downstairs.

Sitting on the table, Petal started to eat her food.

"Do you need anything else?" The maid asked her.

Nodding her head no, The maid left and Petal continued to eat her meal, Suddenly she heard Ethan voice talking to the maid, PetaI bit her lower lip, Trying so hard to prevent herself to not look behind her, But if she would to look right now, She will see him walking towards her.

"Good afternoon, May I join you?" Ethan asked as he stood just two seats away from her.

Petal didn’t know why he would ask her something like this but she nodded her head anyway. Petal glanced at him for a second before she looked away. He was wearing casual clothes again. She liked him in these clothes. It suited him more.

The V-neckline sweater showed her body more. PetaI blushed when she realized what she was thinking about. Her thoughts are getting willed lately. She lowered her eyes and continued eating her food.

Ethan smiled seeing her red cheeks, He had noticed how she was looking at him, He usually doesn’t wear casual clothes a lot, But he noticed that whenever he wore them, She would look at him with a look that he wasn’t sure of what to name it.

"Here is your food Mr, Ethan, DO you need something else?" The maid asked as she placed the pleats on the table in front of him.

Looking at the food pleats, Petal wondered if he was going to eat all of this. It was too much food for one person, But looking at his well-bullied body, It made sense, He must be a very healthy person, She thought to herself.

"No, Thank you, You can leave now." Ethan said to the maid.

Petal noticed that Ethan always spoke to the maids and servants with a strict tone, And she also noticed that They fear him, She remembered Alice telling her that the maids used to treat Ethan, late wife, badly because she was a country girl, and when he found out, He had fired the maids that did that to her, He must have been a loyal husband, She thought to herself.

"How was your day?" Ethan asked her casually.

Petal looked up from her food and replied.

"It was good, Thank you for asking." She replied, signaling.

Ethan nodded his head, Smiling at her. His eyes fell on her Hair which was still wet. The window of the dining room was open and the wind was strong tonight. Ethan stood up and walked toward the window, To close the windows.

PetaI saw him closing the window. Maybe he was cold, She thought. She was about to stand when she saw him coming towards where she sat.

Ethan sat on the chair beside him a pulled his pleats towards him and started to eat. Petal turned to look at him. She looked at the side of his face. His black hair was a little disheveled compared to the neat and combed state that his hair is always in.

"You should eat more." Ethan said as he placed half of his meat stake in her plate.

Petal wanted to refuse and tell him that she was full, But he had already placed the meat on her plate. It would be impolite to just return it.

"Thank you." Petal said signaling.

Ethan looked at her fingertips that were covered in bandages, She was training a lot, He concluded, Once the both of them finished their lunch, PetaI excused herself first and went back to her room.

...

Inside PetaI room, PetaI took off the old bandages to replace them with new ones, But she had forgotten that she had run out of them and now she needs to buy them, She knew that Lana had a lot of them in her room but she can’t enter it when she is not here.

Walking out of the room, Petal went downstairs and walked towards the kitchen to ask the maids if they had some, But when she reached there, She didn’t think that she was witnessing such an intimate scene.

The maid and a meal servant were french kissings in the kitchen, PetaI quickly turned around and walked back from where she was. As she was walking she didn’t notice that Ethan, Was sitting in the living room.

"PetaI." Ethan called her.

Petal nervously turned around and saw him walking towards her.

"Do you need something? I saw you walking towards the kitchen and came back quickly." He asked as he stood in front of her.

"Yes, I needed new bandages." She replied thinking that he might help her.

Ethan wanted to flick that head of hers, Why didn’t she ask him directly?.

"Come with me." Ethan said as he walked towards the stairs.

Petal followed him, Climbing the stairs, Once on the third floor, He walked towards Lana’s room, opening the door he said.

"Come inside and sit on the couch, I will bring the bandages," Ethan said as he pointed at the chair.

Nodding her head, PetaI sat on the couch waiting.

Taking the Wound sterilizer and cotton, He walked towards her.

"You need to sterilize the wounds first before you bandage them." Ethan said as he sat beside her

Petal watched as he poured the sterilizer in the courts and then he picked her hand started to clean the wound on her fingertips, dabbing the cotton on the wound gently, She flinched at the sting feeling that she felt when the sterilized cotton touch the small cuts, But after seconds later, The stinging feeling disappeared, and now she was aware of their position.

PetaI’s heart started to race as he held her hand in his as he cleaned her wounds, Both the way he held her hand and the way he cleaned her wounds were so gentle and she started to feel her face heat up.

"Does it hurt?" Ethan asked as he picked up new cotton and poured more sterilizer on it.

Petal nodded her head unaware of how red her face looked right now. To add more to her flustered state, He brought her hands to his lips kissing each of her wounded fingertips.

PetaI felt her heart skip a beat before it started to beat faster than before. She felt dizzy. Her body jolted when she felt his soft lips on her finger and it happened every time he pressed his lips on her fingers.

"Is it better now?’’ He asked, still holding her hands.
