Chapter 65: Between Work and Feelings

Every morning, a ginger-haired man wakes up very early to get ready to serve his master. He goes to take a shower, puts on his butler’s clothes and fixes his hair. His face looked so handsome in the mirror with a smile that he always showed everyone.

The Alpha male walked out of his room while everyone was still sleeping and entered the kitchen. Unlike his master’s family who were still fast asleep at 5am, the servants were already getting ready to do their work.

"Good morning, Mr. Mike!" greeted one of the maids upon seeing the Alpha enter the kitchen.

"Oh good morning, Marida. You look beautiful today," he complimented her.

Marida blushed and looked very happy to get the compliment. "You look very handsome too, Mr. Mike. Get ready to make tea for the young master?"

He nodded, as usual he would take the tray and prepare tea and small cookies for Daren in the morning.

"I heard that you has been close to the young master since he was a child, is that true?"

"Yes, young master and I knew each other when we were kids. I also knew Mr. Aldrich well back then," Mike replied and picked up the tea set.

"Humn... It must have been nice to be friends since childhood with the young master. Especially if you get into a romantic relationship with him. It must be very pleasant. Just like in movies and novels. A love story with a childhood friend," Marida said while imagining what she was saying.

Mike chuckled when he heard that. "You watch too many romantic movies. Just do your job," he said as he waved his hand.

She nodded and went to join the other maids.

The ginger-haired man opened the food cabinet and looked around, seeing the maids and chefs busy with their work.

’No one’s watching,’ he thought then picked up a strawberry muffin and ate it.

Stealing time to fill his stomach before work, the servants also did so because they would be very busy after their employers woke up and it was difficult to enjoy breakfast.

’Delicious as always,’ he thought happily.

He looked at his watch and soon it would be time for Daren to wake up. Mike quickly placed the cups, the still-hot teapot and the plate of cookies on the tray and carried them to the third floor.

Knock knock

"Young master, it’s time to get up," he said.

He opened the door to the Omega’s room and entered. Mike placed the tray he was carrying on the table and opened the curtain that covered the balcony door to Daren’s room.

"Mnnn... My eyes!" said Daren as he covered himself with the blanket because the sunlight.

"Ahaha... Of course it’s because it’s already morning. Let’s get up, young master. Didn’t we have plans to play tennis today?" He stood beside Daren’s bed and pulled back the covers.

He looked at Daren who had fallen back asleep with his body curled up. He sighed softly with a smile on his face. Mike slowly touched Daren’s head and rubbed it.

"I apologize for my rudeness every morning, but it’s time to wake up, young master," he said again in a soft voice, waking the Omega from his slumber.

"Mnn... All right, I’ll get up," Daren replied as he sat up and rubbed his eyes.

"Good job."

He picked up the cup and poured tea into it and handed it to Daren. "Your tea, young master. How did you sleep last night?"

"As usual, it was comfortable and still lacking," he replied as he drank his tea and enjoyed the biscuits on his plate.

"Good, I’m glad to hear that. Do you have any schedules to go to today? Or maybe another shoot?"

Mike gently ran his fingers through Daren’s blonde hair to keep it out of his eyes.

Daren shook his head, saying he didn’t have anything scheduled for today. But he did have plans for dinner out with Axel.

Mike’s jaw dropped as he heard this.

’Dinner with the Alpha? Have Daren and Axel confessed their feelings to each other?’ he thought which immediately made his hand not move at all until Daren spoke again.

"The actresses and actors from yesterday’s short movie are having a dinner together and of course I’m invited. They said there will be a famous movie producer coming too, so it’s a good opportunity for me to come. That’s why Axel and I are going out tonight," he explained which immediately made Mike feel relieved.

"I see, I hope there’s good news tonight. Maybe the movie producer will see you and ask you to be in his movie," Mike said with a smile and went back to fixing Daren’s hair.

He nodded vigorously, he didn’t want to miss this opportunity and hoped for a golden opportunity.

Mike smiled when he heard that, somehow relieved to know it wasn’t just Daren’s dinner with Axel.

Daren was his young master, Mike shouldn’t have feelings of jealousy when he knew that Daren would go out with other people and even spend time together.

’As his butler, I should be happy for him, whatever he chooses. As his butler, I should support whatever makes him feel more alive, even if it’s against my will as an Alpha,’ Mike thought as he pulled his hand away from Daren’s hair.

His eyes dropped for a moment, but he tried to cover up his feelings with a smile and an innocent face.

"So how did things go between you and Mr. Axel? You seem to have made up again," he asked.

"Yes. A few days ago we made up and went to a fun place together, wore nice costumes and took pictures together," Daren replied excitedly as he showed Mike a picture of him with his bodyguard.

His smile softened, despite the unspeakable feelings. But he would always remember the rules of being a personal butler, the cardinal rule that no feelings should be involved. There should be no feelings between him and his employer.

"That’s great, I want to go there and try it," Mike commented.

"We can go there next time! You’ll love that place!"

The Alpha chuckled and nodded his head. "Thank you, I’ll wait for that day to come."

Soon there was a knock on the door and Axel entered the room, Mike looked at the Alpha for a moment then smiled back.

"Good morning, Mr. Axel. You’re as punctual as ever," he said.

"Yes, it’s my routine to look after the ugly one," Axel replied as he folded his arms across his chest.

Daren snorted in annoyance at Axel calling him ’the ugly one’. But he knew the Alpha was just trying to be friendly with him.

Seeing that Axel had arrived, Mike set the cup and plate that Daren had used earlier onto the tray.

"Then I’ll go first. I’ll be back when breakfast is ready."

He bowed and walked towards the door, Mike looked back, seeing Daren and Axel talking very intimately with each other.

A smile and laughter graced the Omega’s face, making him smile too and leave the young master’s room.

’My feelings aren’t important, I’m just a personal butler and nothing more. I must know where I belong.’
