OPEN YOUR MASK, PRINCESS!
GRACE'S INCREASINGLY MYSTERIOUS Episode 261
Work affairs that began to be stubborn again finally made Xiao Jun relax a little, he no longer needed to leave early to the office and could enjoy breakfast at home longer. Lau treated him as usual, serving special home-country meals that fit the young boss' tongue. He stole a glance at Xiao Jun who was devouring the porridge without distracting from the iPad placed on the table.
“Ehem ...” Lau deliberately dehemes, he wants to grab the attention of his master from that sophisticated object. His efforts succeeded, Xiao Jun was now looking at him question markingly.
“There's something you want to say, uncle?” Xiao Jun was sure that there was something the old man wanted to tell him. Lau smiled at his master's guess, he need not hesitate to speak.
“Master, it looks like something is wrong with miss across.” Miss Seberang is the new nickname they agreed to label Grace. To avoid conversations that people can easily guess when
they call.
Xiao Jun narrowed his eyes, these few days they had the day off to talk about Grace. I don't know what else he did after quitting the office so it was branded wrong by Lau. “What did he do, uncle?”
Lau slightly lowered his head, “I don't know, sir. According to Fang Fang, the lady had stayed in the room more since not working. He also never asks about you, and never comes to you again. Is it possible that she has given up on loving you?”
Xiao Jun's forehead shriveled, if such was the fact that he should feel grateful. “Good then, we just need to persuade her a little bit to go home to America.”
“I feel a little strange, if he has given up then why does he insist on learning Indonesian? Fang Fang said that the lady was fluent in the local language and had daily communication with that language. I did not expect that the lady was quite a genius, she must have tried hard to succeed so fast.” Lau succeeded in making his master turn his brain this early, but he had no other choice. The anxiety should be immediate
complained to Xiao Jun, they would not know what the girl planned next.
Xiao Jun wiped his lips and finished his breakfast, he was still speechless thinking about Lau's words. “Uncle is right, this is indeed too strange. Looks like he has other ambitions, what does he do besides that?”
“The lady had already bought a new car, and she bravely circled the streets of the capital all day with Fang Fang. He can't be restrained, he's shopping whatever he likes and wherever he wants. Fang Fang said that the lady does not want to depend on you.”
Xiao Jun smiled faintly, should he admit that Grace's attitude was quite attractive and could have been disastrous for him.
“Master, don't you feel that this is a trap? He could complain to the big master and make it difficult for you if you keep being cold to him.” Lau expressed his anxiety, it might sound a little excessive but he was really worried about Xiao Jun's safety. Who could have thought that Grace might have been running an investigation.
“Let it go, we follow the game. I can't force myself to be gentle with him. But he can't, either, as long as he's under my watch. He came with me, I still have to take responsibility for his safety. So, uncle please just keep an eye on him and also don't trust his servant too much. Maybe he's no longer on our side.”
Lau sighed, the female servant he relied on apparently could not hold her tail. “Sorry to have disappointed master, I will be more resolute to the waiter.”
Xiao Jun smiled, “No need, just follow the flow. Just don't trust him too much anymore. I don't know, my hunch says so.”
The two men ended up looking at each other, they kept a mind for each other. Xiao Jun gulped down the rest of his drink as he struggled, should he meet Grace?

“Hmm, is it ripe? You starve me with the scent.” Grace surprised Fang Fang with her slow voice, she did not expect that the servant would be so surprised.
Fang Fang slightly wavered, he placed the spatula used to stir his cooking onto the clean plate. “Ah, sorry miss, I was daydreaming earlier and was surprised when you came suddenly. It's soon ready, miss wait a minute.”
Grace smiled, “Morning is daydreaming, are you in love? Uh, you haven't answered, what is this cuisine called? The money makes me hungry.”
Fang Fang was awry to hear the joking of his employer, he was not used to being familiar with superiors let alone Grace started to notice him like a friend. “This is called chicken soto, miss local cuisine. I also just learned to cook it according to the recipe on the internet.”
Grace mangosteen, he was so enthusiastic about the smell of the cuisine that he could not hesitate to prepare a bowl of rations that had not been arranged Fang Fang. The waiter feels guilty and intercepts Grace, but she refuses. While smiling Grace assured her servant, “Let me just, quickly finish the cooking. Oya, if the results are good, share a little with the neighbors. They should also learn to eat local cuisine.”
Fang Fang frowned, “I mean miss, given to young master Xiao Jun?” He needs to mention the name so as not to misunderstand the meaning of his employer. It didn't take long, Grace nodded while showing off her sweet smile.
“Should we give it to them? As far as I know, mister Xiao Jun cannot eat recklessly. His stomach is sensitive, so only Mr. Lau is entrusted to arrange his food menu.” Fang Fang looked down when
she answered Grace, half scared and half shy.
The electric stove used for cooking has been turned off, Fang Fang serving soto while hot complete with boiled eggs and shrimp crackers. Grace felt she got valuable information from the waiter, her curiosity getting more disturbed. “You seem to know him very well, what else do you know? Tell me, what does he like, what does he not like? But can you promise, this is only between the two of us who know?”
Fang Fang sighed, he hid his eyes from the lady. “I don't really know him, all that I just heard from Mr. Lau who accidentally discussed a little about the young master. Sorry to disappoint you, miss.”
Grace smiled with an airy heart, she was not too disappointed that she did not put high hopes on the maid. If it had to be done alone, he was determined to fight for his own love, and that's why he became stronger and used to it now.
“Oya, after this be prepared, wear your beautiful dress. Come with me somewhere.” Grace had no intention of talking about men anymore, she ended the conversation with another topic.
Fang Fang was stunned, he was asked to dress well again by his master, which meant that there would be something more that Grace was about to do. “Where's miss?”
Grace tasted a spoonful of soto soup then her facial expression turned gleeful, she fell in love with the first taste. “Later you also know.”

I don't need to cry out to the world when I'm fighting for you. But when I win your love, the whole world will know by itself that I am the winner!
