|A Few Days Later|
Hina was delighted.
It was finally the day she had been looking forward to. The day when the new staff she had recruited were to come into the Kudo manor. At last, she would finally get to see the maid who had conspired to destroy her, Sakura's right-hand woman, Mei the sly whisperer.
As usual, Suki had assisted Hina in getting dressed, brushing through the brown goldness of her silky cascading hair down her back while Hina perched comfortably before the dressing table.
"Have all the newly recruited staff arrived yet?" Hina asked,
"Yes, my lady. The head maid has gathered them at the foyer and asked them to wait" Suki told her.
"I see"
After contemplating her question, Suki asked, "Umm...about the noble maid from marquis Ito's manor... does my lady wish to appoint her as one of your personal maids?" She finally asked in a calm quiet voice.
"No" Hina informed her.
