"Ack!!" I groaned and couldn't say anything since he grabbed my neck firmly, "I-I-Im S-Sorry!"
"When are you gonna stop lying to me? If you get caught again and again, you will immediately apologize. It's time for your punishment for escaping!"
He tightened my neck with his one hand and lifted me up.
Not with the one hand again! I can't keep my feet on the ground anymore! I don't wanna kick on him, because when I do... I won't even survive in a few seconds from now. I only wiggled my feet even if it's useless. I shed tears and grabbed his hand, "P-Please..."
He gave me a shocked face with a wide eyes. He let me go and said, "That was your punishment for running away, you will also need to take responsibility for your father's deed."
I bumped my butt on the floor, I coughed and coughed many times and didn't replied to him.
"Hey! Are you listening to me?" He said.
"Y-Yes, M-Mister Mafia boss!" I responded.
He chuckled, "Pfft! haha! You're a funny one, kid. How cute," he mumbled.
I pretended that I didn't hear anything, but my freaking ass face shows it all. I looked away from him and blushed immensely from cheeks to ears.
I can't see my face but it's obvious that I'm blushing! Why am I even blushing right now! Ahh! Right, the boss is looking at me, I'm pretty sure that he noticed it!
"I-Im sorry for running away, I will not gonna do anything that can make you irritated again Mister Mafia boss!" I said.
He laughed again and said, "Haha! What a funny name to call me!"
I was confused and said, "Ohh, uhm, I'm just gonna call you sir-"
"No, no, it's fine! You can call me that... I like it," he smirked.
I blushed again but more than last time!
"Since you don't know how to repay me, might as well just work here... You accept, right?" He asked.
"Huh? Y-Yes," I answered with a worried face and looked away from him again.
"Uhm, Mister boss, where do I sleep?"
"You could sleep either with the guards or with the maids, they have double deck beds," he replied.
So there are other people working here same as me.
I made my decision and said, "I'm just gonna go with the maids, Mister boss."
"You're gonna be my maid right?" Mister boss said.
"No! I-I mean... You can call me anything but why do you call me a maid? I'm not even a girl!" I said with a blushed face.
"Well, you look like a girl and the word 'maid' very much well suits you. Hah, do you wanna get punished again because of your refusal?"
"No! Mister boss!" I said.
"Well then, it's settled, and by the way, if you ever refuse on one of my favors, you will be punished. Don't you dare do anything funny, or else, I will gonna hurt you without hesitation like you did earlier to me. Too bad you're too slow, hah! Come with me to measure you for your uniform," Mister boss said.
"O-Okay," I responded.
The soldier's POV:
Ohh! It's Don Hyun! And the boy we were looking for is with him?! I think he found the boy by himself. I'm just gonna ask if the boy accepted Don Hyun's service.
(In Italian) "Don Hyun, did the boy accepted to work here for repaying you?" I asked.
"Yes, he accepted," he replied.
"Ohh, well, that's good to here! I could take him to the maids room for his uniform instead of you Don Hyun if you wan-"
"No, no, I got this," Don Hyun said. After that, they walked away through the hallway, and I was thinking, Don Hyun isn't like that to other people when they got hired to work for him. He's a lot more divergent compared to his usual.
Hyeon Jeong's (Main character's) POV:
What were they saying? I didn't understand them because they were using foreign language, but I'm definitely sure he was one of Mister boss' soldiers, I can tell from his suit.
"We are almost there... My new maid." He smirked, and I couldn't say anything but blushed.
Why am I blushing all the time?! Is it because he's hot?... and handsome? Freakin' sexuality of mine!!
"We're here," Mister boss said.
The maids immediately said, "Sir, what's your service?"
"This is my new maid, he's the son of the thief who stole my money," Mister boss said. After that, all the maids murmured.
There are so many maids than what I expected, is Mister boss some kind of a clean freak? If he is, then this is not gonna be easy.
"Make him an uniform that is the same as you all," he said.
"W-What!! Do you mean that I will wear that kinda clothes?" I pointed at one of his maid's dress.
"Yes, Is there something wrong with that?" Mister boss asked.
"Yes! I mean... No! I can't wear a dress! I'm a boy!" I refused to Mister boss.
"Did you forget what I told you? If you refuse, I will penalize you!" Mister boss glared at me with terrifying eyes of his.
"O-Okay, Mister boss, I will wear that uniform... Just please don't punish me again."
"Where's the head house-maid?" Mister boss questioned.
"I'm here, Don Hyun," the head house-maid replied.
"He will start working on the day after tomorrow. make sure to tour him all over my mansion and to teach him how to cook and clean," Mister boss said.
"Yes, Don Hyun," the head house-maid answered.
"I'll be going then. I'll leave the rest to you. And also..." Mister boss whispered to the head house-maid's ears, and I couldn't hear anything. I only just saw Mister boss smirked and saw the head house-maid's reaction. She was shocked. Mister boss then left.
Their head house-maid is kinda old... Ohh... Am I the only one who will gonna call him "Mister boss?" This is so embarrassing...
"Hello! My name is Hyeon Jeong, I'm gonna be working with you all because I have no such big amount of money to pay him back."
"Aww... You poor thing. Have you been forced by him to work on this job?" The head house-maid asked.
"Y-Yes," I answered with a gloomy face.
"I feel sorry for you, it's just... He just wants money right now, but don't worry, I'm gonna assist you," she said.
After that, all the other maids smiled and also wanted to help me.
All the maids here are so kind-hearted... I'm grateful.
"Come now, I will gonna measure your body for your uniform," she said.
"Okay!" I responded.

Author's note:
The word "Don" is an Italian word of "Boss."
"Hyun" is the mafia boss' last name. That's why it's "Don Hyun."
