CHAPTER FIVE

KYLIE breathed a sigh of relief when she had convinced Joshua that he only saw an illusion. There was no way in hell that she would allow her secret to be revealed because she failed to hide it.

"I should have known better," Kylie whispered to herself. "I still can't lower my defense even if this man is weak. He is smart enough to uncover my secret. "

Joshua could not escape hearing what his butler said. He was still not convinced by what Kylie simply told him. He was sure that it was not an illusion due to hangover. He only shut his mouth as he thought that Kylie would not tell him the whole truth.

"Be sure to hide well, Kyle. I will know your true identity soon," Joshua whispered in his mind.

The days passed quickly but Kylie was still not used to having a young master that she had to follow all the time. There were still times when she had to beat the young man even in front of his father when it became stupid in his sight. As usual, Don Emilio did not scold her because he knew that she wasbonly disciplining his son.

One day...

"Do I have to attend this kind of event, Dad?" Joshua asked immediately when he received the invitation named after him. "I look old when I attend a party like this."

"You don't look old at that kind of party because it's a formal one," Don Emilio said. "And you need this kind of party to make our business more stable. You know, we still need to make connections there."

"As if I'll meet young ladies there," Joshua said while frowning. "Only the elderly will go there."

Don Emilio just chuckled at Joshua's response, "Actually, you're not going to meet 'flirty ladies' at that kind of party because the women who attend there are educated. Being a flirt won't work for them. You might just be slapped when you do that. "

"That's my problem, how can I know my future wife if I only see old-fashioned women?" Joshua asked.

"I don't get your funny logic but I only know one," Don Emilio said. "You have to learn formal dance if you want to make a good impression on the girls who go there."

"What ?!"

"And based on your reaction I know you're not used to formal dance so I already hired someone who can teach you about dancing," Don Emilio said. "You're going to see him this lunch."

"What ?!" that was all that came out of Joshua's mouth at that time.

When Don Emilio thought that Joshua still couldn't recover from what he said, he turned to Kylie.

"Kyle, accompany your Young Master to the dance studio," Don Emilio said. "He has to learn to dance no matter what happens."

"Yes, Master." Kyle's polite response to the old man's command to him.

Joshua's eyes just rolled at what he heard. It was obvious in his eyes that he did not want to do the task given by his father. He wanted to raise his hand or voice for objection but he knew they would not listen to him. He only gave a loud kick to the bench before he left.

"Go ahead, follow Joshua and he's having tantrums again," Don Emilio said to Kylie who just nodded.

Joshua already knew that his butler would only follow him so he immediately entered his room. He was thinking of a stupid thing that he thought Kylie could not do. Even before he could speak his butler threw him a folder.

"If you want to know anything about my personality I'll let you ask me," Kylie said to the young Carriedo. "You do not have to investigate me in secret anymore."

Joshua could not speak immediately at that time. The only thing running through his mind at the time was how Kyle found out about the investigation he was doing. It's also a puzzle to him where his butler got the folder, he was not holding a folder when his father was in front of him.

As if reading Joshua's mind Kylie immediately replied, "I picked up a folder on the table."

"Grrr."

"There's nothing wrong with asking," Kylie said. "I can give the answers that you want as long as you just ask."

Joshua just smiled at what he heard. He thought Kyle was already challenging him that time. Well, he would take that opportunity to fire his butler.

"I still have this question in my mind about your personality," Joshua confessed. "I doubt your gender because you look like a woman in my eyes."

"What about you if I look like a woman? It doesn't affect my professionalism as a butler," Kylie replied. "Also, there are many men who also look like women."

"Professionalism my ass. You do not even follow me," Joshua said. "It's as if I'm not the one you're serving."

"That is simply because your father ordered me to discipline you in any way I know," Kylie replied. "Yes, I have to follow you but not at all times because it's plain stupid. Let me remind you, you're not the one paying for my service either, it's Master Emilio."

"About -"

"Now, if that's the only reason why you're investigating me, you'd better stop your nonsense," Kylie interrupted the young man. "Even if you search my body, I will still prove to your man that I am."

"This is too much Kyle," Joshua said believing the maiden's lie.

"And now you're whining," Kylie said in a stoic tone.

"I am not whining! If you want to prove to me that you are a man you need to take a bath with me right now!" Joshua's automatic command to the maiden.

Kylie felt annoyed at what Joshua said. She did not think that Joshua would give her a strange command just to prove she was a man. Heck! She was used to seeing a man's naked body, but she could only see it when it was no longer breathing at her feet. There is no way in hell that she would follow what the young man told her. She could still use another method to prove to Joshua that she was a man and that was what she would do. She immediately approached the young man to just twist his arm. She was still not satisfied with what she did because she wrestled the young man before he could even touch her.

"Are you teasing me, Young Master?" Kylie asked with mixed threat as the force increased the twisting she was doing on the young man's hand. "Isn't the strength I'm giving you enough to prove to you that I am a man?"

When Joshua couldn't answer Kylie put her lips to the young man's ear, "I think the strength I'm showing you now is enough for you to no longer doubt my manhood. Now, do not dare to give stupid orders if you still want your life."

Joshua just moaned in pain when Kylie violently let him go. He thought he did not need to add more pain in his body because he was going to a formal party.

"I'm going to fire you too, Kyle. You better remember that," Joshua whispered as he watched his butler walk away.

TIME passed quickly and Joshua did not notice that it was already past noon. Don Emilio was already using force on him just to make him do something he did not want to do. He was even more annoyed because only Kyle knew where they were going at that time.

Well, it seems that the misfortune he was experiencing at that time only increased because an unknown woman suddenly approached them. He was shocked when the woman suddenly slapped him. He could not defend himself because it was too sudden. He only breathed a heavy sigh of relief when Kylie reached out to him.

"Hurt my Young Master and I will personally hurt you," Kylie threatened immediately when she caught that woman's arm.

"And you got to defend him huh ?! He's the reason why my life was ruined eh!" the woman shouts at him.

Kylie was strucked by the woman's loud voice. She knew Joshua was a naughty and spoiled brat, but she did not think he could ruin the life of a woman. She sighed deeply because she had no choice but to squeeze her arm.

"How did Young Master ruin your life when he did not even know you?" Kylie asked calmly as she squeezed her arm harder.

The woman could not answer she as was hurt by Kylie's action. She tried to stay tough even though it would make the matters worse for her.

Kylie just smiled when she noticed that her eyes had become naughty. She tightened her grip on the woman's arm.

"Young Master, do you remember this lady in question? I know that you are naughty, but not with this one," Kylie asked Joshua in a serious tone.

"S-I'm sure I'm pregnant and he's the father!" said the woman immediately rushing to the young man.

"I have my own eyes and I'm sure I haven't seen you before," Joshua said to the girl held by Kylie. "You don't live up to the standard I have."

"Then what is the name of my Young Master?" Kylie asked again.

The woman tried to answer the qsuestion but she could not think of any name at that momet,. Obviously, she did not now the answer to the butler's question. She immediately turned her gaze to Joshua who was just waiting for her at that moment.

"Joshua, Joshua Carriedo is his name," Kylie said quickly. "Now, stop this prank if you do not want me to call the cops and arrest you from harassing my own boss. "

The woman moved away from them even faster than lightning when Kylie released her.

"That was ..."

"... Crazy? Well, I know someone's going to do this to yoy," Kylie said.

"What ?! Why didn't you tell me ?!" Joshua asked in a frantic tone.

"Nothing," Kylie said. "I just want to see your reaction when someone slaps you."

Even before Joshua could react, Kylie took him to the dance studio. As expected, an old woman greeted them inside the dance studio. Joshua recognized that immediately.

"Aunt Elisha, you're the one Dad says will teach me today," Joshua said immediately. "Will you be my dance partner too?"

"Nope," Joshua's aunt said. "I prefer someone else as your partner."

"Who ?!"

Kylie was surprised when Elisha looked at her, "Your butler will be your dance partner."

"HA ?!" the simultaneous reaction of the two.

"Come on, this lesson will be good for both of you. Emilio also mentioned to me the conflict between the two of you," said Elisha. "He even hopes you will get along when I teach you. And no more protests young man."

Joshua did nothing when Elisha suddenly guided him to his butler. He felt disgusted when his aunt guided his hands to the right place.

"Even if your dancer is currently a man now, consider him as a woman in your eyes now," Elisha said to the young man. "After all, you dance with women at formal events so you have to learn how to be a gentleman. A gent will always prioritize his partner's comfort. "

Kylie stiffened in her stance when Joshua's hand touched her body. She was not used to someone holding her. She was not used in formal dancing as she was usually dragged away before the dance would start. She was an assassin, to start with.

"Both of you, relax. There's nothing wrong with what you're doing," Elisha said immediately when he noticed the tension between her two students. "This is just a dance tutorial, nothing else. Nothing can take away your pride as a man."

Joshua did not even admit he could feel the warmth of his feelings. He knew something was wrong with the situation he was in at that time especially and there was still a streak of doubt in his acquaintance with Kylie. Whether he wanted to convince himself that the man in front of him was a man, there is a part of his brain that said the woman is with him in the dance tutorial.

"Let the fates decide for me today," Joshua whispered to himself.
