Chapter 8 - The chatty elders
He just gestured to his assistant. A small open door on the other side saw a giant trolley pushed closed by a white cloth and bloodstains. The rancid smell of the red color made the vampires go crazy.
They were curious about the covered dish, and the butler opened it. Fresh meat that still bleeds, the viscous liquid doesn't break because Cedric doesn't cut the veins so that it still feels fresh.
The young pieces of meat are neatly arranged and attractive. It is impossible to tell which tomatoes are used as decoration and which are the young veins still throbbing. Like dogs that are ready and waiting for the signal, they hold back the saliva that has flowed freely.
The special servant appeared at the same time, brought the dish placed it on gold and ceramic plates made of pearl powder.
"You guys must be hungry for not eating a sumptuous meal like this, so for tonight, just enjoy it and forget about the talk earlier."
Blood dripped down the carpet, and their clothes also left traces greedily and voraciously. They are not going to a single drop of blood on each plate. Some incisions on the skin absorb the spices or orange juice well.
Like sashimi or five-star cuisine, Cedric enjoys the banquet served to the elders and guests who come in the evening. Taking a cigar for him to smoke, a puff of smoke flew high.
The bats outside were going crazy.
"Sir, regarding the employee who got the promotion, shall we give him the first order?" handing over a letter.
"I hate meetings during the day." The answer. The butler bowed his head lower, signaling his unavoidable carelessness.
"This is very sudden, sir."
"Tell him to delay for a while. Because I don't want this time to be suspicious." Cedric replied. Finished with a cigarette, he took another cigar.
When everyone was busy, he left the family dining room and wanted to meet his new employee. Walking into the spacious house took quite a long time. Moreover, he didn't want to disturb the other servants.
Adelia nodded off, trying to stay conscious. Unknowingly Cedric had entered his workplace and found Adelia sleeping. He knocked on his desk, causing the girl to stand up spontaneously.
"Not used to working at night, huh?"
"No, I was so busy I didn't hear you come in, sir."
'Why do I call him master? Is it because everyone says that?'
Cedric walks around Adelia's workplace, finding the computer screen pressing many S's. Found like that, she couldn't refuse it.
"I'm sorry, sir." Bow down, embarrassed.
"Are you having a hard time working here?"
'He turned out to be friendly and kind.'
Having not responded for a long time, the butler released a clearing sound.
"No, it's not all enjoyable."
Cedric nodded his head, looking around the room. Found several kinds of food that accompanied Adelia all this time. After picking up a rather exciting book from the wardrobe shelf, he sat on one of the long sofas.
She didn't know what to do, who hired her help, or if there was another reason. She wanted to ask her boss about it, but seeing the pile of papers that still had some work left, made her reluctant to ask.
The butler smiled at Adelia. She tried to concentrate and be professional with her work, even though the presence of the two made her unable to work freely. They were there long enough.
"Adelia,"
"Yes!" he said, surprised to hear his name called.
"Have you been on company tours of meetings before?"
"Never." Cedric nodded his head, then stood up and left the place.
Before his figure disappeared, "In the next few days, we do that, but you still have to work at night as usual."
"Tomorrow morning, the butler will send the schedule to you."
Before she had time to reply, Adelia was taken aback by the sentence that led to her. She tried to avert hearing what the person had just said—maybe heard wrong, trying to focus on his work.
The files she usually does are a meeting and traveling. Determine the budget or how to complete related work away from the center.
[knock knock]
Like the promise he made earlier, Cedric sent the butler who accompanied him earlier. He also brought a tray and bundle of chocolates. His white hair is quite dazzling, and he is also the type of person Adelia likes.
Swollen eyes that tried to stay awake stared at the young man's arrival. He didn't take long to hand it over to Adelia and wait for her response.
Departure schedule, places to be visited, meeting hours, and needs to be prepared for a long journey that takes about one week.
"Can I take him home first?" asked Adelia.
"Of course, it doesn't matter, and the grace period is up to three days." He replied, smiling.
"If there is nothing else I need permission to leave here, you can call me if you have anything to ask about the work contract."
He resigned while Adelia was still busy doing her job. At 5 am, she cleaned herself up, didn't forget to bring her belongings, and tried not to make the same mistake. Turning off the work lights and ensuring everything he did today went well.
The morning horizon appeared, and the luxury car that used to take him was already there. Adelia is getting used to her new, slightly strange life, earning such a high income and being treated like an honorable person for the sake of professionalism. She puts away destructive perceptions about it later.
Those who don't know what to do if everyone accepts the same job as him. Adelia couldn't wait to leave the place until her apartment neighbors were busy talking about her for a few days.
Most people who run into him are reluctant to ask directly and prefer negative perceptions that come to mind.
'I must immediately inform Farkas about this.'
'But he must have gone home.'
