"I'm so sorry, sir. I thought it was an intruder." The flushed and frightened maid went down on her knees.
Thanks to the maid's chilly scream, some other staff of the Villa and even the sleepy Paul ran down to the sitting room. Some of them were holding different self defense weapons and were ready to pounce on the possible intruder.
"Agnes, what is the matter? Why were you..." Paul held his tongue when his sleepy eyes fell on Leon's vicious glares.
"Everyone, return to your rooms this instant." Leon barked.
"We are sorry, Sir," Paul apologized on behalf of everyone and motioned for all of them to leave.
Shuffling sounds of retreating feet and murmuring engulfed the room as everyone slowly returned to their respective rooms. Some of the adrenaline pumped staff couldn't hide their disdain at the unfortunate maid who woke them up for nothing.
