At Sy Mansion…
"Old Master, someone is looking for you…"
"Me?!" Senior Sy asked the butler with a questioning tone since he was not expecting anyone. The butler gave him a teasing smile as he added, "She said you know her. She told her name is Chelsy Park, and she's the woman you helped from the restaurant."
"Oh… How did she know my house? Okay… Let her in." Senior Sy commented.
Chelsy was too amazed to see how big the mansion of the man, who helped her, was. It took her some time to find him since he did not come back to the restaurant after that night. The loan sharks told her that he had settled all her debts the same night and she then tried to find out his contact details through them, but the contact number was not in use.
She wanted to thank him for his great help since then, but it was hard to contact him and then she found his address by searching him on the internet. She was heavily indebted to him. It was a huge amount of money she used during the hospitalization of her father and the funeral as well. Back then because of her father's health, she had borrowed the money that landed her with the loan sharks.
She knew it would not be easy for her, but still she wanted to pay off her debt gradually, so she wanted to meet him and personally thank him as well as tell him she would pay him back slowly.
One of the house helpers soon guided her inside the house.

She felt so lucky that she bumped into a generous man like him that night because not all rich people would be willing to help someone like her without any bad intentions, so she was really grateful and she wanted to repay him with all possible ways she could.
Her heart skipped a beat the moment Mr. Ram Sy walked towards her. He had a beautiful smile as he said, "Hmm, I'm surprised to see you here."
She stood up from her seat and greeted him with a meek smile. She had something in her hands and she shyly handed it to him. It was a cake that she personally baked for him.
"I would like to thank you Sir for helping me out."
Senior Sy chuckled and signaled her to sit back in her seat.
"You don't have to bother, you know. I'm glad I could help. Tell me if they still bother you."
"Oh, no sir, they are no longer bothering me. It took me time to reach you because the contact details you gave me are hard to reach."
"Oh yeah, I accidentally gave them a wrong calling card, the old one." Senior Sy recalled. Good thing those loan sharks gave him their contact details, so he could settle everything with his people the same night.
"Sir… I want to repay your kindness. If possible, please let me work here with you for free until I repay my debt. It actually doesn't matter to me, even if it takes me a lifetime. I'm actually willing to work for you for even my entire lifetime."
Senior Sy's eyebrows collided as he stated, "You don't have to repay me… Chelsy, right? So please just make sure that from now on you will no longer be tangled with people like them. You can always ask me for help whenever you're in need."
He was aware of her poor background since he had someone investigate on her why she had a huge depth. The woman was a dignified, hardworking lady who did everything to help her father survive cancer, but in the end he died too. She paid all her debts in the hospital in order to get her father's remains and had to pay a huge amount of money.
"Please… I don't want to be indebted to you like this. Please let me repay your kindness in some way. That way, I will feel more lighthearted…" Chelsy almost begged. She was feeling uncomfortable being indebted like that to a stranger, and she genuinely wanted to return his kindness.
Senior Sy exhaled loudly and said, "Alright then if you insist… But do remember that you can always leave if you have any good opportunity outside. Always remember that you're not obligated for anything because I helped you on my own accord with all my heart… It's voluntary…"
Chelsy gave him her sweetest smile and nodded. Senior Sy was taken aback and cleared his throat to call butler Dan.
"This is butler Dan, and he's in charge of everything. He will take care of you here, so if you are in need of everything, just ask him. You will have to stay here like the others and will be entitled for a day off every week," he said as he stood up.
He understood Chelsy, so maybe he should let her work here. It could be a better option for her to stay in his house than her place in the suburb. He honestly thought she would not be safe in that area, given that she was living alone and was a woman.
He looked at Dan and said, "Find her something to do… Ask her first where she wanted to be assigned."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmButler Dan nodded and signaled Chelsy to follow him for a brief orientation and interview. Chelsy gave Senior Sy a timid smile and whispered, "Thank you very much, sir," before following butler Dan behind.
Butler Dan asked her where she would like to be assigned and she told him that she was good with anything he would assign her.
"Hmm, I think our chef needs help in the kitchen, so maybe you will suit there since you are working in the restaurant. When do you plan to start?"
"I will just bid farewell to my employer and clear my things. It will take me two days," she answered. She was not a regular employee, so it would be easy to leave.
"Is the master living alone, sir?" she could not help but ask.
"No. He's staying here at the center wing with his daughter. She had two sons but they are not here at the moment…"
Chelsy's face reddened because she wanted to ask something but thought it could be awkward to do so.
"You can ask me anything about the master if you want to…" Butler then casually commented because he noticed Chelsy's face was blushing and her expressions were telling him she wanted to ask more.
The woman looked fragile and butler Dan could sense that she was a good and genuine one. Well, his hund never disappointed him so far when it came to people. She had a pretty delicate kind face.
"The master was divorced. So it's only him and his children here." he added. For some reason he felt like Chelsy was admiring the old master. Oh, he did approve ever since madame left for the old master to at least look to another woman since he deserved it.
