Meanwhile Arthur was in the middle of a fierce battle with Ivan Braginsky. Arthur had come here and politely explained to the Russian exactly why Alfred would not be able to make the appointment and that they should reschedule. The Russian of course did not accept it peacefully. Now it came down to this impromptu staring contest, whoever broke down under the pressure first would lose. The two had been at it for fifteen minutes already and had ended up scaring Ravis, one of Ivan’s servants, just by the dark aura looming over them. Neither of them was going to be letting up any time soon,
“Arthur, I am sure you and your Young Master understand how impolite and troubling it is to cancel arrangements like this,”
“Of course, and if it were any other circumstance we would not hesitate to decline in order to keep previously made arrangements. However, this is the Lord Jones we are talking about and in this situation there is no other choice,”
The conversation (if you could call it that) continued in this manner when someone entered the room. It was Yekaterina; Ivan’s beloved older sister and Matthew William’s fiancée.
“Brother what are you doing?” asked the lady as she entered the room warily. She then turned to Arthur, “I remember you; you are Alfred’s butler correct?” Arthur smiled politely. He stood up and bowed,
“It’s an honor to be remembered by your ladyship,” he kissed her hand and stood up. The girl smiled pleasantly,
“What brings you here?”
“The Elder Lord Jones is visiting tomorrow and I am here on behalf of my master to reschedule the appointment we made with your brother here,” The girl nodded in understanding and turned to her brother,
“Brother dear, couldn’t you just reschedule? It must be very hard for them to prepare on such short notice,” Ivan sighed and walked up to his sister and hugged her in greeting,
“Fine, but only this once da?” Arthur smiled at his victory,
“Of course sir,” Ivan glared at him over his sister’s shoulders conveying his dissatisfaction with his piercing violet glare,
You were lucky my sister was here,
Well the result is all that matters isn't it? Arthur retorted with his own satisfied gaze
“I shall be taking my leave then,” Arthur bowed to Yekaterina and Ivan and left.
Ivan stared at the closed door before speaking,
“Sister?”
“Yes brother?”
“Why is someone like Arthur Kirkland a mere butler?”
“What do you mean?” Ivan turned to face his sister,
“That butler lasted longer against me than any other butler that was in his shoes. I have the feeling the man is more than he appears,” Yekaterina frowned slightly, Ivan’s instincts were never wrong, but what could the Englishman be hiding?
here's chapter three! Thank you for the lovely comment OP! I'll decide on a time period later and will be taking what you said into consideration. The reason it wasn't on the fills list is because i have no idea how to get it there (is really new at this). OTL

Post your fill link and fill updates here author!anon: http://hetalia-kink.livejournal.com/18224.html (but before you post anything make sure you read the rules first), that way people know that you have filled this request.
Oh and if you didn't already know this the comments only go up to 10,000 for each fill part, so before that happens you better make a placeholder in the next fills part which you can find here: http://hetalia-kink.livejournal.com/18772.html.
I hope that was helpful to you. I'm loving the fill, Arthur is one sly butler...I'm looking forward to your next update Lord Jones'arrival sounds ominous... :P

Whooooo....Ivan's conversation is foreboding eh?? May be Arthur is not a commoner but the heir of another corporation or old aristocracy?? Then Alfred could have a happy ending, eh? :p
I'm loving how you bring the rest of the cast together in this setting...their cameos made me so happy! But if you don't mind my suggestion, I think Alfred and Arthur being 19 and 21 is too young. Mattie can't be that much older than Alfred and he's already married. And to be able to manage a multi-national corporations, being in mid to late twenties is a must I think. Otherwise it's just not realistic. Not to mention 19 year olds don't have the knowledge to design machineries (technically 19 year olds are only in 2nd year of college). But oh well, it depends on how 'real life' you want this fic to reflect. Alfred could be a genius and the people around him like Kiku and Ludwig could manage everything so he doesn't need to deal with employee management (I swear people management is the hardest thing ever. Considering Alfred gives jobs on compassion, it's hard to project how his toy company achieve success). The characters don't have a depth yet (like I can't imagine them like real living people), but the story's still young, so it's ok. There's still plenty of time!
GUESS WHO BROKE THEIR OWN PROMISE FOR NOT BEING LATE? YES IT'S OP OTL
