Chapter 22 - Oscar Can Read!

Worried that someone would come suddenly and break in, Zoya locked the front door of Mrs. Melani's study.

Click.

Zoya locks the door. Now she was sure the door was locked. One must excuse himself before entering.

Meanwhile, Mrs Melani's jealousy flared up again. "Did Mr. Gilbert really appoint this girl to be his personal maid? Is Mr. Gilbert planning something?"_ wondered Mrs. Melani. Mrs. Melani's worries remained. She decided to make special arrangements for Clara Diana.

The former galley slave needed to learn some manners, and most importantly, she decided to make special arrangements for the girl. She had to respect Mrs. Melanie.

Mrs Melani was determined not to allow this former slave to undermine her authority. She felt that her reputation as Mr. Gilbert's confidant was at risk.

Knock knock knock.

(A voice sounded from the door)

"Who else is coming?!"_ Mrs. Melani turned to Zoya. Zoya reluctantly approaches the door. The person who opened that door was supposed to be Clara Diana. Her first job as an apprentice was guarding doors.

Zoya misunderstood and she suspected that there was some kind of agreement between Clay and Mrs Melanie. Unfortunately, Zoya did not hear the conversation earlier. Zoya suspects that Clara Diana was left here to participate in an internship program.

Zoya was surprised and she became jealous.

"Why did a former slave get this privilege?"_ Zoya was hurt.

Zoya opens the door. "Mr. Darwin!!!" Zoya looked at the tall figure in front of her.

Mr. Darwin is handsome, he has a slim but muscular body, his tall, tall body and beautiful blue eyes fascinate any woman who sees him. At the age of 27, he has a high position in the military, making this man a desirable future husband by a noble's daughter. Zoya admires Mr Darwin,but it's admiration. How dare she like a noble man.

"Can I come in?!"

"Oh...!" Zoya blushed and stepped back to give way to the handsome man.

"Madam, you have a guest!" Zoya said in a forced soft voice. Mrs Melani frowned. Why does Zoya's voice sound strange?

"Please stay here!"Melani said to Clara Diana. Clara Diana nodded.

Mrs. Melani was surprised to see Mr Darwin.

Darwin never came to her office. Darwin barges in. He smiled when he saw Clara Diana, "There's no mistaking it. She is Princess Darlene. But why doesn't she look like the photo, she looks like a different person?"_

Melani didn't like the way Darwin looked at Clara Diana.

"Greetings, Mrs Melani!" Darwin said with an innocent smile. Mrs Melani gave Darwin an arrogant smile. This fairy has no ethics, no respect for herself, barging into Mrs. Melani's office at will.

"Mr. Darwin, what news?" asked Mrs. Melani with an arrogant face. She is Mr Gilbert's confidant, Darwin must respect her. Mrs. Melani is acting cautiously towards this man, Darwin is an important person to Mr Gilbert, and he may be carrying out a special mission.

Mr. Darwin ignored Mrs Melani's displeased look, the man looked at Clara Diana and said, "Sorry Madam, there are important things I want to ask Oscar!"

"Oscar?"

"Who's Oscar?" Mrs. Melani and her servant were confused.

"He!" Mr. Darwin appointed Clara Diana.

Clara Diana was stunned.

"He?!" Mrs. Melani Melani widened her eyes.

"Mr Darwin, I don't understand what you mean. Who are you talking about?"

"He! His name is Oscar! Isn't that right?" Mr. Darwin asked Clara Diana.

"Hah!" Clara Diana was surprised. Why is her name Oscar?

"This man...does he also think I'm Darlene. But why did he change Darlene's identity to Oscar, a man! Hmm. I have to be careful. This man is a military official, he's an intelligence officer. He's good at playing characters. He can't be mean to me! I'll play this man's game!"_ Clara Diana smiled to herself.

Mrs. Melani doesn't understand.

"Mr. Darwin, explain what you mean. Is it true that her name is Oscar? Oh no... Is she a man?!" Mrs. Melani looked at Clara Diana with an angry face. This kitchen slave has a beautiful face. her body is tall, thin, doesn't have a beautiful body shape like a woman, her chest is flat, as if she doesn't have breasts. Oh no wonder Mr. Gilbert gave men's clothing. He knows that!"_ Mrs. Melani felt embarrassed, she misunderstood Mr. Gilbert.

"Mrs...!" Zoya whispered to her mistress.

Mrs. Melani's eyes widened, "You tricked us?" Nyonya Melani was angry and wanted to slap Clara Diana. Her actions were blocked by Mr Darwin. Mr. Darwin stood covering Clara Diana's thin body.

"Sorry madam, be patient. We got information about him!"

Clara Diana was confused."How could it be like this? This man ruined my plans!"_

Mrs Melani forgot her character as a graceful woman, she acted aggressively "Don't get in my way. He should be beaten. How dare he disguise himself as a woman!" Mrs. Melani was embarrassed, she was playing with the kitchen slave. It's up to him whether he is a man or a woman. He must be beaten.

"No! This is Our Business!" Mr Darwin said in a firm voice.

Mrs. Melani immediately fell silent, but her anger had not disappeared.

Darwin smiled, he ignored Mrs. Melani's anger, he asked a question that made Mrs. Melani and her servant vomit blood.

"Oscar, can you read?"

Oscar aka Clara Diana looked at the man with a doubtful look before nodding.

"WHAT? CAN SHE READ?" Mrs. Melani and her servant shouted at the same time.

These two people think the former kitchen slave is a woman.

A lowly slave can read? Impossible!

Zoya, falls on the floor, unconscious. Can't believe what he heard. Impossible. A slave was more learned than he was. Zoya is illiterate.

Darwin clapped loudly. The sound of applause woke up Mrs. Melani and her servant who seemed hypnotized.

Mrs. Melanie who hasn't recovered from the shock, she gathered her energy and asked "Mr. Darwin, please explain what you mean!" Mrs Melani couldn't believe the reality she was facing

"You heard it!" Mr. Darwin emphasized. Mrs. Melani fell silent again.

Ignoring Mrs. Melani, Darwin turned to Oscar, smiled at the girl,

"Oscar. Read this news!"
