She didn't even know him. What kind of person was Dominic Tyler? Was his father's disposition the same? Rasika couldn't help but think of her mother's words about Edmund's only son. “According to Mr. Edmund, his son must have been very determined and resolutely stubborn.” The woman sighed once more before leaning back on the seat with many thoughts coming to mind. She was imagining North America. The Appalachian Mountains, which were filled with trees, pine forests, and almost fell asleep if they weren't aware afterwards that the plane was landing before the large man in the back seat got up and turned around. Rasika was stunned at that moment. The woman's pupils slightly widened as the man's face became clear. A tall man with a dignified look Handsome is more than a statue of a god. It has the power to make Thai women stand still. Especially the rust-colored eyes that glowed with amber from the sea in the light. The woman mentally calculated his age to be around thirty years. And at the same time, he paused for a moment when he saw a small girl with a clean face following him. Everyone was stunned at their first encounter before the young man regained his composure and spoke up. “Isn't my mother asking you to take care of the hut here?” Chapter 3 “Uh... yes.” “You probably already know me.” “Yes, Mr. Dominique.” “We have arrived. A cottage on the southeast slopes of Mount Washington...follow me.” He said and walked shortly before the plane door. Those short words and the look in her eyes made Rasika feel that Dominik was really unfriendly. Or is this the nature of the benefactor's only son? She couldn't do much more than follow him down from the private plane, and the moment she stepped off the stairs, her feet wouldn't even hit the ground. The woman gasped, her eyes wide open as she saw the surrounding landscape of the residence of Tyler Power Group's new chairman. The place that Dominic called the hut was completely different from what he had told her. It was a large, solid brick house perched on top of a white rocky hill, as its name suggests, New Hampshire White Mountain. Rasika was at a high place where the girl had no idea how high the peak was. But look down around to see pine forests and mountain ranges that overlap like a spectacular painting. In front of Dominik's hut there are rocks and crystal clear water palaces. It's like a dreamy place that makes Thai girls so excited that they can hardly say anything. When the pilot took the plane back, Rasika felt that she was dressed inappropriately for the place. Wearing one-toed heels, she walked pathetically along the rough and white rock-strewn ground of her master. Until Dominik stepped inside and stopped in a living room decorated with woodwork, but full of antique touches. “What is your name?” Dominik turned around and asked the woman who had stopped in front of him. Several steps apart, but she could clearly see him. She accidentally looked at his charming and handsome face, almost forgetting her own words. “My name is Rasika. You can call me Rose." She replied nervously. Would he know that she barely dared to meet those rust-colored eyes? Dominic narrowed his eyes. He also inadvertently looked at the woman in front of him to see if this was the daughter of the housekeeper who was suspected of that mother. She was pretty, and something seemed to be mesmerizing him, if only for a moment. “My mom says you're the daughter of a new housekeeper who's been working at the Tyler mansion for less than a year.” “Yes… er…” “Is it your mother who was with my father on the night of the incident?” He asked in a stern voice and made Rasika startled for a moment. Her hands were numb and she had just felt that the thin air up high was not a hindrance to her breathing. But the stern face and expression of the man in the window were making her heart beat faster. “Yes…but I don't know what happened…” “What should your mother tell you? At the very least you should know about your mother.” “This has nothing to do with the work your mother asked me to do here,” Rasika argued, but her eyes shone with fear that she couldn't completely close. “Actually, the person who wanted you to come here is not my mother.” Dominique's words that came closer made the girl's eyes widen. But it wasn't too late for her to dodge, her fists heavier than steel crunching down on her thin shoulders. “Dominik...what do you mean by this?” “You heard it right, Rose. The person who wanted you to come here was actually me!” The pair of beautiful eyes opened wider than before. Rasika froze, but she could still feel hot breath coming from the face of the big man leaning closer. It flew against the skin of her cheek, causing it to heat up. The girl was like a flower pinned to the cliff face. She forced a smile and thought to calmly talk to him. “Dominic... I came here on Isabel's orders. She told me that…” “You and your mother may have witnessed the murder of my father!” He roared in the face of the girl and it shattered the last bit of her strength in that moment. This time Rasika was trembling. She was not forcing herself in front of him. Her beautiful eyes began to water. Dominik looks scary and confuses her. The thrill of seeing the magnificent landscape on top of Mt. Washington shattered to the dread of an unexpected attack. The young man did not wait for her to express his opinion. He stretched his mouth and continued to speak in a voice that was still as loud as before. “I was the one who told my mother you came here. I just want to know what happened to my father that night and only your mother was there when he was shot.”
