Lucas drifted asleep as soon as he touched the bed, signalled by his rhythmically heaving chest and consistent breathing.
The two maidens, Alice and Anais, still continued to remain 'sleeping' for many more minutes before raising their heads from the soft bed. They looked at each other and nodded in a silent understanding to leave the bed and discuss the incredulous situation they had been put in.
They tiptoed towards the corner of the room farthest from the bed and talked with each other in a hushed voice.
"What to do, Alice? Your mother clearly knew that we were faking sleep on the bed. You don't have any issues, but I… She is not going to scold me, right?"
Anais became quite anxious at being discovered by Lucas's mother, Sylvia. She liked and respected Sylvia very much. Moreover, Sylvia's invincible methods of teasing had left Anais vulnerable and slightly afraid of Sylvia.
Seeing the flustered Anais, Alice couldn't help but giggle softly.
