At five in the morning, Stella woke up and prepared herself to start work.
" I hope I can get along with her, otherwise I will lose this room and stay on the street."
Although she is still angry about what happened yesterday with Adam, she is grateful to him for what he did.
" This sounds like an apology for his behavior."
She thought she should gather more information about this family.
"That child will wake up two hours from now, I have to take the opportunity, I have to know their names at least."
Despite having met them, she only knows the names of two.
She knew who would help her in this matter, no one but the maid Carla.
She left the room, went to the kitchen, looked for her, and found there were only a few male servants, she asked them about her claiming that she wanted her to serve.
They said she working in the back garden today, so she quickly went to look there.
She found it after some time of searching in the huge garden.
As soon she saw her, Carla smiled and greeted her," Hello Miss, how Are you today ?"
" She must be glad I didn't tell anyone about our conversation yesterday."
Stella replied with a smile," I am fine, thanks."
Without a preamble, Stella asked her to continue yesterday's talk.
" What ?"
Carla's confused features changed to anxious in moments
" Oh, how bad I am at formulating conversations."
She's always been like that, she doesn't like to think too much about which words to pick, but in this place that's a necessity, and she's aware of that.
However, she preferred to behave like this with Carla so that she could see her reaction to something like this.
" Come on, I want to know more about the family and also the servants."
Carla refused," This can't be, it's forbidden by the rules here."
After seeing her categorical refusal, Stella changed her expression and the way she spoke," Well, in that case, I think I'm going to report a violation of the rules that happened just yesterday."
" Don't joke with me, what rules ? You know in front of you now ? Me and the rules are two parallel lines."
She kept pressing her until she came back to the room with her and told her everything she wanted to know.
The grandparents are named Andrew and Isabel, and the eldest grandson is named Liam and is the heir to the family. He holds an important position in the capital of the East and is close to the official in charge of the region.
Everyone described him as handsome, with a good character and respectful.
As for the second grandson, Adam, he is responsible for some of the family's business, he is known for being quiet and taciturn, and there is the only granddaughter, Annie, who is a quiet child as everyone describes her.
" That's good, now I can figure out who will be useful to me."
Stella thought that she should act and try to improve her situation even more.
She put her fingers on her chin and sank into deep thought, while Carla was still there looking curiously at her.
Moments later Stella noticed the situation and thanked her for the information, quickly taking her out of the room.
She looked at the clock to find that it was about to be seven.
" The time for action has come."
Stella went straight to Annie's room, she was already awake and accompanied by her grandmother and several maids.
Stella greeted her," Good morning, Mrs."
" Here you come, just in time, good."
They described this lady with her gentle and respectful nature, and her original elegance despite her advanced age.
Her granddaughter sat next to her on the sofa, holding her hand, silently looking at Stella. Her grandmother smiled at her and said," Now you should get to know each other more."
Then she turned to Stella," Miss Alina, please take care of her."
" Of course, it's my duty, Madam."
After everyone left the room, the two stayed together.
" I should get her to get along with me, it's not too difficult, I took care of Jean before."
She smiled and said," Good Morning, Miss Annie, how are you today if you would like to…"
Annie interrupted her, saying," There's no need to make that face at me, to represent that you are a caring and considerate person."
" What ? "
