Looking at the outside, the colonial design brings out a rustic charm. The surrounding area is also sprawled with flowers and verdant greens, which enhanced its beauty.
An elderly couple stands near the door whom she assumed are the caretakers of this place.
" Ms. Liang, they are the caretakers of the villa designated by Miss Ying. This is Butler Lu and his wife Mrs. Lu. Mrs. Lu takes care of the overall wellness of the villa."
"Welcome Ms. Liang. We're happy that you have decided to stay here. We hope to make you're stay enjoyable so please, if you need anything, feel free to call us."
Avery just nodded at them and directly went inside. The couple did not take offense as they were already briefed by the lawyer of her coldness.
What drew her attention imediately was the grand staircase and the majestic chandelier. The villa spells old world romanticism which is spellbinding in its beauty. Avery cannot explain why her heart is beating erratically. Its like the house is welcoming her home. She noticed two younger maids and one middle aged guy standing attentively inside.
" They are Millie and Lisa Young Miss," introduced Butler Lu. "Jim is our gardener and all around helper. Millie will be your personal maid."
"Good moring, Ma'am", the trio simultaneously greeted her.
Avery inclined her head to acknowledge them.
"We will bring your bags upstairs Miss. Please follow me to your room." Mrs Lu led the way as the servants carried her luggages upstairs.
Mrs. Lu led her to one of the doors in the North Wing.
" This used to be the room of your grandmother but when she decided to stay in the nursing home, she had it decorated as when she was still young."
The room is classically decorated, fit for a Victorian princess. Though her taste lean on simple and Asian, she is satisfied as the colors were light lavender and blue.
"Thank you Mrs. Lu. Though I don't understand why Grandma did this, I like the place very much and am looking forward to my stay here in the mean time. Please look after me." Avery addressed the old woman.
"It's our pleasure Miss. We will prepare lunch at 11:30 if ok with you."
"It's fine with me."
Only Millie was left arranging her things in the room. Looking around, she felt apprehensive. She feels like she's being suck in a different life and there's nothing she can do about it.
