The Bored Immortal

"Oh, what is it?" Brad wondered what kind of help Viktor needed from him.

Viktor took out his mobile and sent a message to Brad, "I just sent you an address of a parking lot where I have a million-dollar bike parked there."

Brad raised his brows, "A one million dollar bike? What is it made of for it to be so expensive? And how did you get it? Don't tell me you…"

Viktor waved his hand with a casual laugh and said, "Come on, Brad. You can't possibly think I stole it."

Brad awkwardly cleared his throat and said, "Of course not. But then how did you get it? Did someone gift it to you? Because right now you are jobless, right?"

Viktor proudly said, "Well, I won it in the right way without any cheating. Anyways, I need your help in selling that bike and buy some cheap sports bike and deposit the rest of the amount in Dorian's account. That bike seems like a limited edition imported from god knows where. Still, its speed is phenomenal, but I don't need it, and the extra money is more useful."

Brad nodded in appreciation, "Whew, not even two days had passed, and you made one million dollars without lifting a finger. And you call me cunning, hoho. Poor Taya doesn't know that you completed her challenge before it even properly started. I wonder how she will react."

Viktor chuckled, "Well, no need to tell her for now. Let her be smug for a while." He then thought of something and asked, "Ah, by the way, about our trip. Isn't my college going to start on the 7th? Do we have time?"

Brad leaned back as he asked, "Oh, you didn't know?"

"Know what?"

"Your college has postponed the starting date by two weeks due to the ongoing elections. So, it will only officially open on the 21st, Monday, giving us plenty of time."

Viktor blew through his lips, "Phew, that's great. I was hoping that it somehow gets delayed till my mind feels refreshed. But the others don't know about our little trip, do they?"

Brad said as he closed his book, "Oh, I will tell Taya and tell her to pass on the message to others."

"Wait, we are going now?" Viktor asked in a surprised tone.

"Of course. Since you left, lots of things have changed in this continent, especially that island, and I bet you need a lot of time to thoroughly explore and enjoy the places. So, we should catch a morning flight since the flight time is around six hours, and by afternoon or evening, we should reach."

Hearing Brad eagerly describing the place he had only briefly been in once for the past fifty years, Viktor also started looking forward to visiting it.

"You mentioned buying tickets...so I guess we are not going in any private jet?"

Brad chuckled, "Where's the fun in that? Going on our own in some fancy private jet will just be dampening the mood. Don't worry. There are always tickets available at the last minute for sky-high prices, which is not really an issue."

Viktor winked, "I was going to suggest the same, but I guess you are getting cooler the more you become older, haha."

The two then eagerly talked about the plan for their trip and the exotic places they should visit before Viktor went back inside the mansion to start packing.

It was 6 AM when Viktor entered his room and was surprised to see Umilia inside his room, arranging his clothes and things neatly.

Just as he closed the door, Umilia happily smiled at him, "Master, did you go for a morning walk?"

Viktor softly nodded, seeing her pure smile, "Yes. The morning just seemed perfect for a walk. Anyways...you don't have to do all this arranging and stuff. I would rather leave them as it is."

Umilia looked at his clothes that were neatly arranged in the cupboard and asked in a concerned tone, "Did I arrange them the wrong way? I will do it just like you say."

Viktor chuckled as he smiled, seeing how adorable she was. He looked at her figure as a whole, and despite how she was dressed in normal maid clothes, it did nothing to diminish her pure beauty, her knockout figure, and her interesting innocence.

He walked towards her and held both her hands, "Of course, not. You couldn't arrange them more perfectly. But I just thought that you already do so much work in a day, going here and there."

Umilia realized what he wanted to say and felt moved as she said in a happy tone, "It's not at all a trouble, Master. I like doing these things for you, even i-if...I was not your maid."

'Oh boy…' Viktor now realized even more that Taya was right about Umilia. In fact, he was not focused enough to notice any subtle hints before.

He really wanted to give her a loving hug and make her his for real but when he looked at his hands, images of his hands being bloodied flashed in his mind, making him rethink things.

He knew that he and Umilia had only known each other for just days, but most of all, he knew for someone to fall in love, all it could take is just a second without any reason at all.

Since time was something he had the luxury of, he realized this the most.

"Well...anyways, I have to take these clothes with me since I am packing stuff."

"Master is going away?" Umilia asked with wrinkled brows as she felt some stiffness in her heart.

Viktor softly smiled as he tapped her nose, "Of course, not. It's just a short trip with Brad, silly girl. I just want to enjoy some scenery, and we will be back in a few days. Nothing much to worry about."

Umilia inwardly sighed in relief and said with a happy smile, "I will help you pack, Master."

Viktor nodded with a smile, "What will I ever do without the most beautiful maid in the world?"

Umilia blushed as she proceeded to help him, and within just five minutes, Viktor's bag was packed. If it wasn't for Umilia being adamant about properly packing his things in an orderly manner, he would have just thrown whatever he needed in his bag and gotten it done within a minute.

Still, he had to admit it was satisfying to see his belongings neatly packed and ready. He couldn't help but appreciate how Umilia had the knack for perfectly organizing things.

"Did Master tell Madam and the others about this?"

"Oh, Brad said he would take care of it. Anyways we will soon be back."

Umilia softly nodded while her shoulders slightly slumped, feeling some sort of emptiness in her heart, knowing that she won't see Viktor for a few days.

Strangely enough, after getting involved with him for just these past few days, she began to feel an irresistible pulling force towards him, so much that just a smile from him can make her pulse race.

Even yesterday, when she was in her cafe, she was doing something else with her mind elsewhere and had to request the help of one of her employees to cover for her.

"Master...I actually have something to give you before you go…" Umilia said with a lowered gaze.
