Eva walked into her room and came out changed.
"You have somewhere to go?" Delilah asked her sister. Eva was dressed in a simple black dress and black mid heels. She looked beautiful in dazzling brown hair and wide harzel eyes.
"Mmh... But I'll be back." With that, she left, taking a taxi and telling the taxi man to drive her to the Nolans son castle. Though she wasn't sure if Lian was there, she had heard that Fidel Nolan had personally come to fetch the resignation letter for Lian. Today, she wasn't sure if Lian was with guards from the Nolans but she heard the other workers talk about it. So she decided to try. On getting there, she at first wasn't allowed in.
"But am just here to look for a job." Eva said. She had taken a three weeks off work and that was enough to stay here and find out if Lian was here, or if not, at least get wind of where she was.
She was searched and later taken to meet Fidel whom she had never met in person. His face was medium with a sharp nose. He had wide eyes with golden iris. His hair was shiny black, short and we'll combed.
"Why do you need this job?" Fidel asked.
"Sir I... I... Sir I need this job. Sir... it's mainly because, I need that money to at least take care of myself." Eva stammered. She didn't expect to be asked such questions. After a long time of questions and answers, Eva was led to the servants' quarter where she was received roughly by the workers there.
Eva's room was small with a small bed, and a closet after she entered the room, one maid came to her.
"I can see you didn't just come to work." The maid said.
"Why would you say that?" Eva asked.
"Generally you don't look like a maid. I mean, even your dressing code doesn't look too much simple although it isn't that expensive either. But I can just make a simple guess." The maid.
"What's your name?" Eva asked.
"Am Bella." Bella said.
"Am Eva... Can I trust you?" Eva asked. When the maids were harassing her, she didn't see this maid. Bella looked sincere and willing to cooperate.
"Sure." She replied.
"Am here to know if my friend is here. Have you heard of anyone by the name Lian?" Eva asked, sitting on the bed. Bella sat on her side.
"Mmh... She's our madam and doesn't seem happy being here. Did you even know there was a wedding today? But she turned our boss down. They got so angry with her that they had her locked up. Even before that, she spend all her days alone and crying." Bella said. "Are you related to her?"
"She's my best friend and I was dead worried about her. Where is she locked? Can I talk to her?" Eva asked.
"Right now it's dangerous. She's locked in the innermost room of the castle and no one is allowed to talk to her or even give her food, plus you're new here, if you get anywhere close, they may get suspicious. The room is tightly guarded to make sure no one goes there. It's sound proof inside, she can't hear you even if you shout her name all day." Bella said sadly. "If you're her friend, then probably she'll be too happy to see you when she gets out."
Eva felt bad for her friend. She had been locked up in a sound proof room all alone with no meal and no one to talk to? Is that why her phone has been off? What offense did she commit?
Anyway, Eva decided to stay and wait for her friend.
JONES HOME
The Jones sat silently after coming back from the ruined wedding. Senior Jones felt Lian had disgraced the family enough to the extend of refusing to get married. Kate in her room was packing. The next moment she came out pulling her case.
"Dad, I've made up my decision. Am going to stay with Fidel." She said.
"No you can't." Julia stood up and stopped her. She wasn't worries about Kate snatching Fidel from Lian, she was worried about Kate getting a chance to get closer to Fidel while she remained at home.
"Who are you to decide for me?" Kate asked.
"Mom at least not now... How can Kate go? I mean, I can't remain here alone." Julia protested.
"She's just going to stay, nothing more. Besides, you can always go to check up on her and Lian." Quinn held Julia back.
After waving good-bye, Kate smiled to her sister as if saying, it's my turn Julia, and left, driving Lian's car to Amber castle.
AMBER CASTLE
Fidel was preparing to leave for work when he saw a car drive in. Kate got out and walked suggestively to him. Just today, many things happened. He had planned a wedding but Lian had turned him down, he had locked her up. A new maid had shown up and out of sympathy, he had given her a job. Now Kate was here with a bag of her belongings, probably wanting to stay.
"Give her a room. I'll call mom to deal with her." Fidel said after Kate told her that she was here to keep her sister company. He was too confused to argue.
