Lipsticks of different vibrant colors, Minty's phone, makeup from well known brands and a little cash were scattered on the floor.
Yet the eye catching substance that drew Hazel's attention was the fancy customized wallet on the floor too.
How would she not know the owner? It belongs to her boss, because she personally gifted it to him. Why was it then in Minty's possession?
This wallet was all round masculine and wasn't something to be gifted to a woman, which immediately made her rule out the idea of Leo gifting it to Minty.
It can only mean one thing!
This b*tch stole it!
As Minty was thinking of a way out of the trouble, she was suddenly pushed aside by Hazel who strutted forward to pick up the wallet lying on the floor.
"It's not what you think?! I... I...I don't know how this got into my purse! I have been framed! Yes...framed! It must be this little maid, she bumped into me earlier, remember?! She...she...must have put it in my purse then! I have nothing to do with this" Screamed Minty in an exasperated tone.
That was the only solution now, she had to deny this accusation vehemently whilst also pushing the blame on the
maid.
The maid smiled conceitedly, holding Minty in contempt.
This woman was brainless.
One of the head maids, scoffed in disdain "Our mansion hold it's integrity and reputation in high regard. We as the workers are expected to hold up it's name. Do you mean the reputable Smiths don't discipline and train their helpers miss?"
Minty was stumped for words and bewildered.
How did it get to this point? She didn't mean any of what this maid was saying. She just wanted to push the blame on someone.
She never intended to insult the big family name Ah!
Gritting her teeth, she responded in a dark voice. "That's is not what i meant, i was only saying this maid must have placed Mr Leo's wallet in my purse, when we bumped into each other. It has nothing to do with the Smiths"
She had to stick with this lie shamelessly. That was the only way she could save herself.
"How do you know this is Third young master's wallet? No one amongst us knows how his wallet looks like except Miss Turner. Talk more of this new maid, I have never seen what the Third young master's wallet looks like. Do you dare say it's Miss Turner that placed it in your purse?" Said the maid baffled.
Minty choked on her words and was resisting the urge to vomit blood.
What kind of maid is this?! Why is she so eloquent tactfully trapping her with her own words.
She glanced at Hazel from the corner of her eyes and just in time happened to notice the cunning flashing in her eyes.
She took two steps back and swallowed hard. Her sweaty palms was irritating her and all she wanted to do right at that moment was leave this accursed place.
"Right! How do you know it belongs to our third young master? We have never seen it before" The accused maid called out pissed.
"I...I...he gave it to me" said Minty nervously.
She almost slapped her forehead in disappointment.
What on earth was she saying?
The more she talked, the more she spewed nonsense.
She has been cornered by this vicious people. It's all their fault!
"Whether it belongs to Mr Leo or not, we will know after we check it's contents. I reckon his ID should be in here" she proclaimed smilingly eyeing Minty.
"Yes Miss Turner, you are indeed smart and intelligent. No one will be best suited to stand beside our Third young master except you. We need to teach this kind of evil thieves that Smith's family mansion should be off their ugly claws" The other head maid that has been silent finally spoke, clearly fawning on Hazel.
