I watched as the maid rolled the food into my room....she gave a slight bow and said " enjoy your food madam" I nodded as I watched her take her leave, I closed the door and returned to the bed.
The food was so good.. I ate to my satisfaction, there was a little bit of veggies, beef, french fries, broccoli, chicken broth. It was a very healthy meal.
After eating, I decided to go down to see what was happening.... I came down the grand stairs quietly as I held on to the hem of my gown, as I came down, I didn't meet anybod, the dinning area was empty. "Where's everyone" I said to myself, " oh madam they've all retired to their rooms" I heard someone say behind me, I turned around only to see the maid that served me earlier. "Really? by this time?" I said surprisingly, " yes ma'am, there is a big occasion tommorow, so everyone wants to be well rested" the maid said.
" A big occasion?" I asked " yes ma'am, the heir to the conglomerate is coming back for many years" she said in a whisper. I looked at her intensely " the heir?" I asked
She nodded her head in agreement, " I thought Mr Drey was the heir" she smiled and said " not at all ma'am, infact she looked around to see if anyone was listening...then she continued " infact rumors have it that Mr Drey is an ill legitimatel child"
"What!" I was shocked, the maid quickly returned to her duty Post as she left me transfixed, I stood in one position for a very long time...
