Severally Daphne breathe in and out before she knocked on David's door, she waited patiently to hear his response. Silence fell, then she knocked again, this time around she enforced more strength on her fist before she placed it on the door.
"Who is that?" David's cold voice comes out, his voice sounded aggressive and fierce.
"Housemaid," Daphne replied, she didn't want to mention her name, and hearing the sound of David's voice, dawned on her how angry he was.
She touched her head, chest, and her shoulders, praying in her mind, that the virgin Mary should guide her- Being a fanatic catholic member, then she pushed the door open.
On her arrival in David's room, she saw a handsome figure laying on the bed, his face held coldness and anger.
Daphne cleared her throat before she could open her mouth to speak, " Young Master, I'm sorry, I won't dare to seduce you when I'm just an ordinary maid. I won't dare to be greedy of you, please can you let go of last night's incident, and see it like it never happened...," She was still talking when David suddenly interrupted her.
"Have you accepted that you rape me last night?"
Hearing him speak, make Daphne clicked her teeth.
"I didn't rape you, young master," Daphne replied, her voice seeming harsher than the soft voice she has used when she came in.
Instantly David stamp his foot as he slipped down from bed, he raised his frowned eyebrows at Daphne.
"What did I hear you say? Wait till I have my evidence, by then you will seize to be in this house again, " David replied irritatedly
"Okay Young Master, before you find the evidence, can you allow me to work here peacefully? I would admire, it if you stop telling your mother I seduced you, 'cause I don't have any reason to do that, " Daphne replied in a firm tone, David was surprised to see her talking to him in a harsh tone.
He believed, it was because he slept with her, he heard ladies don't respect men that have laid with them.
Even if they have been respecting him before, immediately after they had sexual intercourse, they will start relating to him as their age mate, or people in their status.
"Who would like to seduce a prideful man like you?" Daphne replied under her breath, mistakenly David heard her.
"What did you just say?" He raised his voice loudly in an angry tone.
Seeing him coming closer to her, she bites her lips, and goes backward gradually, trying to escape through the exit door.
"Nothing Young master, please forgive me, sir," Daphne replied hurriedly, her back landed on the door, she halted a bit, looked into David's eyes, and bowed slightly to him.
"I will accept that you have forgiven me, cause your mother demands a response from me"
She said and rushed out of the room, the more David comes closer to her, the more her head replayed last night's incident, she found him idolizing as he came closer to her.
Walking to the hallway, where people in the house hardly pass, it's the young master's path, she halted and slapped her cheeks, trying to shift her focus from last night's incident.
"Are you dumb Daphne? why are you remembering last night? to the extent of you feeling happy when you should be feeling sad, after losing your virginity to that asshole?"
She kept slapping her cheeks, trying to erase the memory from her head.
"I hate you, David," with her eyes closed she shouted repeatedly, forgetting she is not far from David's room.
Reopening her eyes, she was welcomed by an angry lion, his face was changing colors.
"Is this place a market?" David asked her.
A nervous smile broke out of her mouth, she killed and tortured herself inwardly, since she knew David heard her cursing him.
The only thing she did after she contemplated for a while. She bowed her head deeply, and with the dumbest smile on her face, she exited the hallway hurriedly in a shameful way.
David hissed "Too dumb, but still how was she able to rape me yesterday," David wondered.
He let go of the thought, while he continued to where he was going.

Daphne arrived in the kitchen, looking startled, she met a maid in the kitchen who was busy working, the moment she noticed Daphne's presence, she looked at her, like something was wrong with her, seeing the expression, her face held.
After Daphne came back to her senses, she looked at the maid and broke out a slight smile towards her.
"Good morning," she greeted.
"Good morning," the maid replied in a fainted tone, though Daphne notice it, still she didn't read the meaning of her fainted response.
Moving to the tap in the kitchen, she watched her both hands, put on an apron, and started the journey of cooking.
She has not been long, she was transferred into the kitchen department, and she has been working in the departments of the maids washing the family clothes until recently she was transferred from there to the kitchen.
Her cooking is not up to the taste of the people in the family, but today she wants to put more effort, hoping it would taste sweet and more delicious, than the previous one she cooked.
Opening one of the closets in the kitchen, she brought out a recipe book that contained the process of the foods, eaten by the family.
She will cook Pie and Mash today, which is David's best food, she didn't want to anger him the more, so she tried to hide her pride and begged the maid inside the kitchen with her.
"Please can you guide me in preparing today's dish, I don't want to get the Young Master angry," Daphne speak to the lady in a soft tone.
"Why would I? don't you know how to cook it?" The maid called Tessy by name replied, her voice was full of sarcasm.
"Haven't cooked it before," She replied
"The process is inside the recipe in your hands, it will guide you in cooking it... If you think you are not capable to be in the kitchen, tell madam to transfer you back to where you came from, moreover, you are suffocating us here," Tessy replied angrily.
Daphne clicked her tongue, she tried to suppress her anger, she didn't like the maid's sarcastic response.
"Please help me, you know the anger of the young master, this is his best food, I don't want to prepare a meal that won't be delicious for him. I can't afford to get him angry again," Daphne replied in a soft tone just to make the maid help her out.
"I thought young master is your man, 'cause I saw him leaving your room early this morning," The maid said and exited the kitchen, not leaving room for Daphne to reply.
Hearing her mention David leaving her room, she raise her eyebrows, she looked shunned for a while, she didn't know how it happens, but she sensed danger lurking her way, many of the maids working in the mansion would do anything to have him.
"Noooooo, I will just find an excuse to give them, if they ask me for an explanation," Daphne said in her head when thinking of the possible outcome. If those maid gang up against her.
"Now let's focus on David's best food, let's give him the best delicious food," she said boldly as she brought out the ingredients in the refrigerator to mix.
