The maid gave her a hesitant look, "Uhm… first i need to ask my master", she said and left. The little maiden nodded, and waited for her to return. The thunder and lightning outside continued to rage, making the entire place even colder than it already was.
Then after what seemed forever, the maid returned and said "he wants you meet you, come I will take you to his study" The maid guided her into a large and dark hallway. They entered a room, filled with bookshelves, paintings on the wall and portraits hanging everywhere.
A man sat behind a desk facing an enormous window. He turned around and waved her over. The maid excused herself, and left the two of them alone. The candles were flickering in the room and it was quiet and dim.
The man looked at her, she could tell he had a strong presence about him, "What may i help you?" he asked. "I'm looking for a place to spend the night so could I stay here in your mansion sir?", replied the maiden nervously. He raised his eyebrow and said "And pray tell, why would you need to do that?" His voice was deep and smooth, with a hint of something dangerous lurking underneath.
She looked into his dark eyes and answered quietly that shes lost and she has no where to go while the rain is pouring heavily, she hid the part that she running from some people. "I'll consider it", he eventually said.
She couldnt see his face clearly with the light being so dim in the room and the shadows dancing along with the raindrops, But she knew she saw his eyes gettiing red for a second, then he said " Find Rachel the maid who brought you here she will show you to your room and do change your clothes".
She nodded and said "Thank you" before leaving. She left the room quietlly and saw the hallway was fairly dark and tried to remember which wa y she use to come here before. Finally she remembered the stairs leading to the first floor and started walking carefully down them,
her bare feet stepping softly against the wooden stairs, her heart rate starting to quicken and her palms began to get sweaty, and soon enough she made it to the bottom of the stairs, there she found no one she walked further to the living room and looked around,
she wasn't sure what room she wanted to go in, she also felt cold then she noticed her bosoms were visible to see because the wet white gown she was so embarrased by her exposed breasts and
it hit her then why that man told her to change, she was flushing wwhile thinking that he saw them she felt like crying her life turned into a hell after her father died,
while thinking all those Rachel came back and called her and handed her a dress and told her to follow her,
