"No one has ever said anything about our boss in such a way. We were expecting you to say nice things about him since you are his fiancee".
I looked at the lady who spoke, she looked like my mate but the way she carried herself, she looked nothing like a maid.
"Who..."
"She is Kim Yuri and she is going to be your personal maid. That is her daughter, Kali, they will be serving you together".
I simply nodded and continued to eat my food. Though the atmosphere had calmed down and they were chatting again even though it was like whispers it wasn't so bad but, I couldn't help but feel uncomfortable. Somehow, I just knew someone was looking at me. When I turned towards the direction I thought it was coming from, I saw my so-called personal maid and she wasn't just staring, she was glaring as though she was ready to rip me apart.
I could stand it so I stood up abruptly and that drew the attention of everyone in the room.
"Ahhh, I didn't mean to distract you, I'm okay. I'll just leave".
As soon as I said that, I left them and went to my room.

After Shin Suri had left for her room, the old woman dragged a particularly young maid into a corner of the house and asked.
"Why do you keep making yourself noticeable? Do you want her to notice you that badly, let me remind you that you are here for a reason. Don't you dare forget that".
While saying this, she was holding the young maid's hand firmly but as if the maid was tired of her nagging, she pulled her hand out with force which made the old woman move back with force.
"I know okay, stop telling me what to do it's annoying. I'll do what I was asked to do and leave with my daughter. I just wanted to know if she will be easy to get and I think she is pretty naive".
"Stop trying to deceive yourself. People are not always what they portray themselves as and besides, you don't need her to do anything. Just do your job and leave if not, you'll never have custody of your child".
As soon as the old woman said this, she walked out leaving the maid behind.
"Mrs. Quin, I'll definitely take my child with me you just wait and see. I Kim Yuri will take my child with me no matter what it takes".
While saying this, she clenched her fist into a tight fist and was grinding her teeth so much it felt like it would turn into powder, but another thing that one could see was the determination to get the job done.

When I got to my room, I was restless. Something about that maid just didn't sit well with me and to think that she is supposed to be my personal maid, it felt really icky.
"What was that, why was she looking at me like that? She was the only one who didn't laugh when I spoke about the boss and after her question, she was looking at me as though she would strangle me".
I said and lay frustrated on my bed but just as I laid down, I stood up real quick as a thought popped up in my head.
"No way, could she.....eyyyy no way". I didn't want to think about it but then, it kept bothering me.
"Could she be in love with that jerk? Haa!! It kinda makes sense that she didn't want me saying bad things about him. Then that child, who's is it?"
"Waww just waww Shin Suri you are one busybody, mind your business huh it's only for 7 months".
'Right, all I need to do is to avoid her as much as possible and I need to get back in shape. I can't stay around waiting for bad things, I must start training again'.
After a while, I fell asleep and didn't wake up till I heard a knock on my door.
"Oh gosh, what is wrong with these people, why won't they just let me sleep?"
I reluctantly walked to the door but as soon as I opened it, I closed it back immediately.
"Why did I do that, aishhh".
I opened the door and Kim Yuri was standing right in front of me. She was the first maid to stand in front of me without a smile plastered on her face.
"I have come to tell the lady that it is time for dinner".
'Dinner? I just had breakfast'. Just as I was thinking about that, my tummy made a really embarrassing sound. It was like it was saying 'thank goodness, I've been waiting for this time'.
I went back into my room and I realized I actually slept the whole day.
'Waaa Shin Suri, you are a different kind of weirdo. How can you spend all day in bed huh, you haven't even showered yet, and to make it worse, you still feel sleepy. Aishhh this is annoying'.
I went back to the door and told the grumpy lady that I would be down in a minute.
After she left, I decided to go have a bath. When I was done, I was having a hard time picking what to wear so I decided to just take out something very simple. A black simple free gown.
" This should do the trick for tonight I really need to go back to bed".
I looked at myself in the mirror and I was pretty amused.
" I can't believe you just said that, I mean how are you going to get back in shape and actually learn how to fight if all you do is eat and sleep, huh you are really pathetic".
I went downstairs and when I got to the dining room, I saw him there already seated.
'Aish I really didn't want to see you again today'.
I knew I couldn't escape this so I decided to go with the flow. I got there and I took my seat without saying a word till we were almost done. After awhile, I broke the silence and spoke.
"I didn't know you were back already, I will go get the list you asked me to prepare. Also, can I please ask for a favor?"
