Few weeks later, Massy walk tiredly into the kitchen that was full with maids to get a chore done.
Immediately she entered, they all left what they were doing to stare at her, they were staring at her and mocking her at the same time.
Not caring about the stares she was getting, she concentrated on what she was doing, and was even faster at it.
When she was done, she was about to walk out when she bonked into a maid, who intentionally stayed on her way.
This accident made what she was hold pour on herself (massy) "are you blind?" The maid yelled.
"Sorry." Massy apologized for not looking at her which further annoyed the maid, and she started yelling and cursing at her.
"Will your sorry repair the damages you have just caused, bitch?"
Massy was vexed and she wanted so tell her "bitch, you're not the one hurting, I am." But kept mute not uttering a word.
She felt like it was too early to have this kind of argument which could lead her to getting into more trouble with Malik so she decided to keep mute about the matter.
"I'm sorry." She muttered an apology and was about to walk out when the maid push her making her bruise her arm.
The other maids gasped at this, "Ann, that is too harsh of you to do to her" One of them said making Ann to roll her eyes.
Massy bit her lips as pool of tears formed in her eyes. She was trying hard to stand up when she heard an unfamiliar voice.
"What the hell is going on here, ladies?" Richard inquired which made them all frozen in fear.
Richard was strolling around the manor checking all the security appliances when he heard someone yelling.
This was coming from the kitchen, so at first, he wanted to ignore it but something kept pushing him towards the kitchen.
When he got there he was surprised to see a lady figure on the ground trying to stand up with Ann looking furious.
"Hi Richard." The Ann maid said flirtatiously, but he ignored her rushing to the lady who was squatting on the ground helplessly.
"I thought I asked a question?" He said after helping Massy up and looking to Ann for answers.
"You should trust me when I say it is nothing serious, this is all just girly stuff" she said which make her earn a scoff from him.
"Do you think I'm dumb?"
"We are just playing, I am not ly…"
"Got no time for you" he said and turned to Massy
"Are you sure you are okay?" He asked worriedly.
"Yeah" she mumbled and tried to walk out when he held her hand and looked at it for long enough to know all that was going on.
"You are bleeding, you need to be treated."
"No, I am very fine, thank you" She muttered trying to free her held hand from his.
"Stop being stubborn, you know you still need to be treated." He said, she sighed when he wasn't going to give up.
"But I am ...." Ann was about to say, but a fiery glare from Richard muted her.
With one last glance at the maids in the room who left their works and we're staring at them both, Richard helped Massy out.
"That snitchy witch." Ann hissed as she watched them leave the kitchen together.

Massy winced softly as he applied medications to her bruise, and after a few minutes, he was done.
"Thank you." she muttered to appreciate him and stood up about to walk away when he spoke to her for the first time since they got there.
"I am Richard by name, and you are?"
"Massy" she said tilting her head slightly to the back before walking away.

Malik looked at the file on his table with a slight frown making a way through his lips.
It was the file from one of the neighboring companies that wanted to partner with them, but he did not want to sign the contract.
When his team members asked, he did not tell them anything but simply said it was 'because of a reason best known to him'
It made them more confused because it was not like he does not want the contract.
Who would not want a contract worth billions of dollars? But he probably felt that there was something suspicious about it.
*Thought I instructed them not to accept any contract from these people hmmm?* He pondered and tapped his intercom.
"Come in." He said coldly a few minutes later when his personal assistant entered into his office.
"Return the contract." He said, and his PA stared at him perplexed, not knowing what to do.
"But..." He was about to say when he chipped in angrily.
"Do as i say" he snapped at his PA who took the file and glanced at him fearfully before stepping out.
