I woke up the next morning feeling alive. I know it's all for work again. But that's just how it goes. I stood up from the bed raised my hands in the air and yawned so wildly like a cat.
I slept well last night, even though Conan had initially made me hate myself for giving in to him, only for him to run away each time.
Just as I was about to get prepared to get to work, I heard a loud bang at my door.
Oh common, whoever it was could at least open the door himself or herself because I don't remember shutting the door last night.
"Who is it?"
Just then the door swung open. I quickly took my gaze to the door only to see Nivia fuming with anger coming out of her ears like smoke.
At that moment, my heartbeat increased. For some reason, I have the feeling that I was in deep trouble this time for some unknown reasons.
"Have you gone crazy, Serena? How could you still stay up in bed at this time?!"
Nivia yelled so loudly that it shook the entire room, causing me to jolt in fear "
I slowly tilted my head you the wall clock, and to my greatest shock, it was 8:30 am.
Fuck! I'm in great trouble. Now I understand why Nivia yelled so loudly at me as if the world was coming to an end. It was my fault. I had slept past the time I was supposed to.
Immediately, I scrambled off the bed without delay. The sheets stuck to my waist that I stumbled to the ground in a terrible fall.
"You are so pathetic!" Nivia yelled at me in pure disgust.
"I do not want to find you here by the time I come back," stormed out of my room. And just as I was about to take in a breath of relief, Nivia walked back into my room.
"You are to assist Margaret in preparing breakfast, before cleaning."
"Huh? Not one has eaten yet?"
"You should ask that from Margaret!" Nivia stormed out again. This time I know she wouldn't be coming back to my room.
I quickly stood up from the floor and dashed to the bathroom where I washed my mouth and took my bath. The moment I was done dressing up, I stormed into the kitchen. It was weird that no one has eaten at the time Nivia stated. Breakfast was made for 7:30 am but this time it was terribly late. She can't imagine how much Margaret was suffering in the hands of the Niva and the Baroness now.
"Hey Serena, why are you here?"
I noticed that Mrs. Margaret couldn't hold the knife properly to cut the vegetables. Seeing her difficulty, I quickly ran over to her side and took the knife from her.
"Mrs. Margaret, why are your hands shaking?"
"I don't know my dear. I'm scared that I might not be able to use them again."
"Oh no! Don't tell me it's gotten worse?"
"It has my dear. I note Ed it early this morning. I couldn't stick out my fingers not to talk about using them it was that bad."
I heaved a long sigh. It is terrible Mrs. Margaret is unable to use her fingers anymore. It was depressing. I can imagine how important the hands are to a cook.
I quickly began cutting out the vegetables just as she had thought me. I'm a fast learner so cutting out the vegetables is never a problem for me.
"Wow! Look how good you have become. Who would have thought that you will be this good? Indeed you are a good student."
"And you are a great teacher," I added. We both chuckled happily and continued with our work.
Within 30 minutes, already made the potato chips and vegetable sauce. I know just how hungry the Baroness and the Baroness might be at this moment in time.
"It's time to serve breakfast!" I started as I quickly got out of Mrs. Margaret's uniform.
"I feel so ashamed for making you cook for me and still serve the dishes for me," Mrs. Margaret appreciated.
"You shouldn't be Mrs. Margaret. This is what I should do. You have done a lot for me, and I think this is the very least you have done for me. "
"Oh come off it. Don't flatter me for a ib I didn't do enough. I don't want those praises of yours to get into my head, else, I will be in big trouble.
"Okay, okay Mrs. Margaret. I will not compliment you anymore. Meanwhile, for the main time, I have to get the food for our masters else I might get chopped into pieced for the delay."
"Please, make it snappy," Mrs. Margaret pleaded.
I immediately took the food tray with two other maids carrying the same meal.
Just as I arrived at the dining, I saw all the family present.
Mrs. Camillecsimoly wasn't smiling and neither was the Baron.
I quickened my steps to avoid further delay.
"I'm so sorry for the delay Your Grace's," I apologized while serving the meal with my head bowed to the ground. I tried the best I could to avoid their angry gazes kept I know how terrible it will be if they ever were to find me staring at their faces.
"What the hell happened?! Why is the food arriving only now?!"
The Baron thundered making the maids jolt in fear. My heart almost jumped out of my skin. I know they will be angry but never had I thought I would be yelled at so loudly.
"I'm so sorry sir," my hands trembled as I served the food. If I was to give in to my fear, the worse will happen and I will have tonthriw awYbthr fold that was already prepared. So, instead of going through that, I held my fears and continued serving the meal.
Just then, I noticed the Baroness' brother who was seated syndrome the first end of the table, away from hks sister and her husband.
When I raised my head up, I was shrieked to see him staring at me intensely. For some seconds, I almost forgot what I was doing.
Damn it! Why in the world was he staring at me that way? Immediately I took my gaze away and walked over to the far end of the dinning where I was to serve him his breakfast.
Just as I was serving the meal, I took my gaze towards Mrs Camille and her husband who didnt waste time in diving into the food. I can tell just how hungry they were just by how they were eating. They must be really hungry.
Just as I placed his meal on the table, he suddenly placed his hands on mine. At that very moment, I froze. It felt as though some currents had invaded my body at that point in time. I tried to take hands my off, but he applied pressure by holding my hands tightly. I just didn't understand why he was doing that. He wasnt supposed to act the way in which he was acting.
What if I get caught by the Baroness, what will be my excuse for been absent he simply wouldn't be the one to be accused but me. And my crime will be that I seduced the Baroness's brother. I can feel the maids and Mrs Camille already hating on me.
Having thought about all these quickly, I shook my head and jolted my hands away from his.
