The Young Master in the Shadows

Getting off the plane Victor hugged Lily from the back like a perverted young master and whispered in her ear,
“From now on I will start to act like an arrogant young master who fears the strong and abuses the weak, so play along with me.” He ordered her.

Lily was surprised but she understood him and nodded her head.
“Young master, you genuinely like to abuse the weak,” she whispered in a faint voice. But Victor acted as if he heard nothing.

They walked straight from the runway to the street outside of the airport as this airport was operated by the family and he came in a private family Jet.
He didn’t have to wait for his bags as he didn’t have any, all of his luggage was sent to the mansion, as for Lily, she had none and she needs to go shopping ASAP.

At the door, there was a luxurious car waiting for them, It held the logo of Horizons Media, so Victor recognized it at once, It was sent by his new company, so he walked towards it with Lily.

Standing next to the car was a young driver with oily combed hair, when Victor approached him, he quickly looked at a photo in his hand and then walked forward and saluted Victor.

“Mr. Victor White, I presume ?” He asked to make sure.

Victor nodded his head a little in confirmation.

“Hello sir, My name is Leo, I am a driver in your company, I was tasked to pick you up by the Vice-president.”

“Hmm, The driver? why were you so late? You should have driven this car through the runway to get me. “ said victor arrogantly, putting his hands on his waist.
“How dare you make me walk. And where is that vice president, I heard she is a beauty, and even my father liked her, why is she not here to welcome me?” he continued while looking around as if searching for someone, making Leo wonder if this new CEO was an idiot or just arrogant.
As for Lily, she looked at him strangely, but then quickly remembered what he told her before. And decided to play her part as well.

“Don’t be angry young master, he can’t enter there, he is just doing his job. Let’s quickly go and see the mansion your father gifted you. Didn’t you say it was very grand and promised to show me around? As for the Vice-president, You will be able to see her tomorrow anyway and maybe punish her for her disrespect.” she said as if she was appeasing a child, making Victor nod in agreement and seem to repeat the word ‘punish’ silently with an evil smile.

Then Lily turned to the frowning Leo and bowed slightly.

“Sorry Mr. Leo, but my young master is usually on a tight schedule, he did not mean any offense.” she stepped forward and said, “Let me introduce myself, My name is Lily, I am a young master’s assistant.”

Looking at Lily, Leo was startled, he didn’t pay attention to this veiled girl earlier. But now after he looked at her he could tell that she must be a super beauty. Too bad he couldn’t have a clear look at her face. As the thin veil only revealed her beautiful eyes.

He was able to pull himself back together and stretched his hand offering Lily a handshake with a bright smile flashed on his face “Hello, miss Lily,”.

But he could never touch her, as Victor Interrupted him rudely while shooting him an angry look.
“What are you waiting for, Do you want This young master to beg so you can open the door for him, Do you want to be fired so bad? Why are there no work ethics no more?” He mumbled.

Leo was a little annoyed, This morning the vice president told him personally that the new CEO of the company would arrive this afternoon, she gave him the task of being the CEO’s driver for the time being. When he got Victor’s Information he was flabbergasted. The new CEO turned out to be a teenager, so he inquired about him from the VP, but she did not tell him much, So he did his usual information gathering the old way, and after collecting gossips from here and there, he got a general idea, it seems this Victor is the son of the owner of their parent company, and he was here to attend high school, so his father gave him a company to train his hands.

When he woke up this morning, Leo thought that this was his chance, If he can please this guy and gain his trust, he is set for life.

Now, it seems like this young master has something wrong in his head, and this girl is taking advantage of that.
“No, I have to find a chance to get in his shoes too,” Leo thought while opening the back door of the car and waiting for the passengers to get in.

Victor looked at Leo’s frowning face with some amusement, “This guy is as opportunistic as ever.” He thought.
He met Leo in his past life too, and he knew that Leo was not the simple guy he seems to be. But victor is not going to throw him away, on the contrary, he is going to put him to good use.
He is not a bad guy anyway.

Lily entered the car first and dusted the seat for Victor who entered the car arrogantly, but due to his weird posture, he hit the car’s roof with his head, so he screamed and shot Leo a murderous look. but Lily quickly appeased to sit down.

Leo acted as if he saw nothing and professionally closed the door, went to his seat, and started the engine, Then inquired about their destination, so Lily quickly gave him the address of Victor’s new mansion.

After the car drove for about five minutes, Leo started to adjust the mirror casually, wanting to use it to sneak a peek at Lily, but what he saw made him almost hit the car in front of him, but as an old driver, he was able to get hold the car pretty quickly.

It was Victor who ordered Lily to massage his injured head, then he gave her the signal to kiss his injury so it can heal. So the blushing Lily removed the veil and quickly pecked her young master on the forehead, before putting the veil back on, hiding her blushing face.

This was seen by Leo, who after stabilizing the almost wrecked car, did not dare look anymore, “Damn, this chick is so pretty.” he thought, “Why does she have to be with this idiot. It’s like putting a fresh flower in cow dung. Very rich cow dung.”

He really began to hate this new CEO. But he quickly reminded himself to be patient. He has to get close to this young master, so maybe someday…. A perverted smile slowly appeared on Leo’s face.

...

They reached the mansion pretty quickly. While it is called a mansion, in fact, it was a complex of four huge buildings built on top of a hill. It contains everything a young master might need from a pool to a gym and a separate building for the servants, It was also surrounded by lush evergreen forest.

Leo could not help but swallow his saliva,
“Damn, If this is just his son’s mansion, how rich the father !”

As for Victor, he looked at this complex strangely, when he arrived at this city back then, This entire hill was burnt to the ground. He wondered what happened, so he decided to task Lily with surveying the property. Just to be sure,

After the car stopped next to a closed gate down the hill, a guard went out of his booth to check the visitors. He spoke with Leo, then looked at the back seat where Victor and Lily were sitting and nodded in respect before quickly retreating to call his boss.

After a few minutes, a middle-aged woman came out of the gate, she seems to be the manager here, she was dressed in a dark blue long dress and her brown hair was arranged in a bun, On her face, Victor could see the signs that she was a beauty when she was younger. And he could immediately tell that she must be a PLAYER, she just came from the top of the hill and didn’t seem to be out of breath at all.

So he activated his appraisal skill,

“She must be one of my father’s servants, But I have never seen her before, Her status is average but she has some interesting skills.” Thought Victor before leaning out of the window to address her.

“Are you the manager here? Why are we not inside yet? This young master is hungry and wants to have a good meal.” Victor said with a loud voice.
Hilda frowned a little but after a minute she recognized him as the new master of this mansion, according to the information sent by the family, so she quickly reacted and greeted him respectfully.

“I just wanted to make sure it was you, young master, My name is Hilda, I am the manager here, and the master has already informed me of your arrival,” she said, then she berated at the guard “What are you doing, quickly open the gate for the young master!”.

The guard who was surprised quickly responded by pressing a button on a bulky device in his hand, and the large gate opened a second later.

Hilda entered the car with them and sat next to Leo, who after greeting her, started to drive uphill, towards the central building.
