Dora walk down the staircase when she saw Vivian was about to leave. It came as a surprise to her that this Vivian was the Lady who slapped Elena and she wondered what boss would do to her if he finds out.
Vivian was unwillingly to leave but what the butler said made her agreed. She was pissed off and turn to look at the bodyguards behind her when a familiar figure appeared on the staircase.
She remembered this girl clearly, how could she forget this was the girl who confronted her in the ice cream shop.
Vivian didn't doubt that Darren actually has a woman with him.
"Hey! You!" She called Dora.
Dora froze when the Lady called her but she still look down to see Vivian's piercing glare.
"Yes, ma'am?" Dora decided to play along.
"I thought I saw you at the ice cream shop," Vivian was now furious. The girl that had poured her ice cream might also be in this mansion and that explains why the bodyguards were acting differently today.
Dora touched her forehead with her finger in a gesture of trying to remember, "yes. I helped the lady confront you when she mistakenly messed up your dress, " Dora said with a smile.
" I thought the lady was with you!" Vivian probe. She wasn't satisfied with what this girl is saying because she was putting on a maidservant uniform.
Dan eyes grew wide in every passing seconds. The lady who slapped Elena the other day was Vivian and she recognized Dora.
Kyle was confused as he wasn't there when they met Vivian.
Dora bit her inner cheek because she was short of words. Why's this lady asking about the young miss. First, she came barging into the house because she was familiar with the boss, then she arrogantly complained and kept asking questions.
"...No, she isn't. I was walking beside her. so I...," Dora walk interrupted by Vivian.
"That's enough!" Vivian was angry and bitter at the same time. Should she believe this maid? She saw this maid and the bodyguard ushering that young girl who was less than twenty years into the car.
She storm out of the mansion. When Darren comes, she would ask him herself.
After Vivian left the mansion, Dora and Dan let out the air they didn't know they were holding since Vivian barged in.
The thought that Vivian actually recognized the maidservant made Dan fret for sometime.
"Why did you come back here! You should've stayed with Elena!" Dan yelled angrily at Dora.
" I didn't know she was the lady who...,"
" Shut up!," Dan was furious. That night when Darren found out that a lady slapped Elena, he threatened him and finally let him off the hook.
"Dan stop shouting at her. Did you expect the lady who hit Elena to be Vivian?" Kyle fired at his brother. Sometimes, Dan was unreasonable.
The butler stood on the staircase and watch the three shout at each other. He shook his head and walk down to meet the youngsters.
He had known Vivian for a long time and he didn't expect she would act like that.
" Enough of the shouting, it's lunch time, "he said and beckoned on Dora to follow him.

After unlocking Elena's door, the butler step in with the tray of food in his hand.
Elena was sitting on one of the couch when the butler walk in. On her lap was the bunny that has become fatter.
.
The butler forgot Elena was still learning how to use the cutleries, after placing the tray on the table he walk out of the room before shutting the door.
Elena stare at the appetizing food for sometime before she took the spoon. Her hand wasn't stable but it was better than before.
.
.
Now, Elena didn't need anyone to help her with the shower or her clothes. She did them herself without bothering the maidservant.
During the night, she would sit close to the window and watch the thousands of Star twinkling on the sky.
After staring at the sky for a long time, she stood up and went towards her bed. Elena pulled out the kitten bag she brought along with her from beneath her bed and walked back to the window.
She overturned the bag and all the contents fell on the floor. The bag pack was given to her by a middle aged lady few months ago.
At first, she was reluctant to take it but the lady refused to leave until it was given to her.
Few months ago:
"You should have it. I brought necessary things that would help you," the lady who was dressed in an exquisite dress insisted.
Elena didn't know this lady and no one have ever been friendly to her and it made her wary.
The night was so cold that Elena shivered all over. Her teeths were chattering as she glared at the lady. Though it was night, the lady's beauty was unforgettable in her mind.
The bag was packed with menstrual pads, a photo and a necklace. Elena didn't bother to check the picture since then but she cherished the bag alot.
Meeting Darren was not as scary as when she met this lady. Elena felt a bad aura emanating from this strange woman that was why it took her time to accept the bag.
She put everything back into the bag except the photo. A young girl, maybe five was laughing on the photo. She ran her fingers through the girl's face and later put the photo into the bag and walk towards her bed.
Elena laid quietly on her bed. It has been three days since Darren left and she haven't heard from him. Not even Kyle and Dan allowed her to speak with him.
The butler refused to help her and kept saying 'Darren is doing something big, do you want to spoil it?'
She didn't know what he was doing and where he was but the butler and the bodyguards kept saying the same thing so she kept her worries to herself.
