"Sometimes we just bump into certain people and suddenly, they become a part of our journey"~GaniThe day was spent exploring around the palace with Jade, she showed me every corner around here while also explaining the rules.Some areas were prohibited for regular maids so we did not wander there.At the end of the day my feet were crying, and I was more than thankful when I was informed that we were heading back to our rooms, I was now sitting on the bed in my assigned room with my feet plopped up and my hands massaging them."Ohhh god!!" I sigh when I hit a pressure point. The door to my room opens and a new face enters.Each room hosted two maids, we had our separate beds, dressing, cupboard and one study table with a book rack above to store things, the room also has a shared bathroom.It's was ok for two people but was extremely cozy, the new maid that walked in I assume is my roommate."You should quite down on those noises, anyone outside gets the wrong impression" she chuckl
"Sometimes the hardest thing you can do is to be easy on yourself"~Kavia Dixit"Claire you are incharge of this weeks laundry, I have listed 15 girls for your assistance, Mira you will be serving dinner for the next 15 days...." One by one Jade was informing the workers of their duties.The duties changed every week or in some cases after every 15 days or a month.I thought Jade was the head of all the servants but Ray informed me that she was actually the real head's assistant, I was shocked that a head maid here also has an assistant.She informed me that the head maid also known as 'madam Joy' was a person exactly opposite to her name. She was a bitter, old mean lady and it was a relief that she didn't assigned duties but her assistant Jade did.That didn't mean she was careless, she actually roamed around the palace keeping a strict eye on everyone, Ray says that her eyes and ears are everywhere but I think that's a bit extreme.How attentive can an old lady be?"Daisy and Ray, yo
"Let it be hard. Let it be scary. And then do it anyway"~Unknown"Sir" Jade quickly stands up and bows her head in respect, I stare him like an idiot, he quirks up a brow at me.Jade takes notice of my frozen state, she pulls me up by my hand which makes me come to me senses, I stand beside her copying her.After a moment of silence the devil finally speaks "is this what we pay you for?" he asks calmly but the hardness in his voice sends chills down our body.I am a very confident person and mostly know how to defend myself but his presence tied my tongue."No sir, we are very sorry. The cleaning has been completed for this floor, we're just leaving" Jade apologizes, she turns around to collect her broom. I frown thinking about Jade's answer, she could've just said that we were sitting and having a moment of rest rather than saying sorry.I shrug away the thought and search for my cleaning cloth around like an idiot until I remember it's over my shoulder. I can sense his eyes on me th
"To survive with seasons you must change with them"~cf"Daisy!" I hear someone call my name, I look up from my plate to find Ray and Jade walking towards me with their lunch plates in hand.I look down and resume playing with my peas, pushing them around in the plate."That's rude" Ray says pointing to my lack of attention, she slides beside me on the sitting bench, Jade sits adjacent to me, she stares at my dull expression."What happened there?" She asks straight to the point "what happened where?" Ray asks with a mouthful of her food.We both stare at her in disgust, she hides her mouth behind her palm, she chews fast and gulps down her bite. "Sorry, what happened? What did I miss? You do look a little upset Daisy" she continues matching Jade's stare on me."Nothing" I say plainly "puff, come on spit it out" Ray moves her right hand in a spill the tea kind of motion."It's nothing, really" I don't want to share anything, it took me 20-25 minutes to calm down myself after I ran awa
"What a brave soul you must be, to want to save the world when yours was burnt alive"~ Sneha Pal It is chaos everywhere, tonight is the grand mafia party, we are ordered to decorate the whole place.The party is in 6 hours and their is still so much work left to do, I bend backwards to relax my strained back. I feel like my back will pull apart. "Daisy, have you cleaned the guest rooms I assigned you?" Jade asks while running past me."Yes" I answer her tiredly and watch her run towards the other maids. I don't know how her legs haven't broken yet.I search around for Ray but don't see her here "Jade can I take a break?" I call out to her. She looks up at me from the flowers in her hand."10 minutes" she nods her head than turns her attention back towards the white and red roses."You should go for the red one's" I point at them, she eyes those specific one's with interest."Girls we'll go with red" she announces to the maids who are incharge of decorations.I make my way towards m
"Be gentle, every heart hides many wounds that never bleed"~UnknownI have never wanted to kill myself as much as I want to now, in this moment.1 hour with this crazy woman has made me reach my limits of sanity, I can't bare with her anymore or my head wil explode.She's just... Ahhhh!She's crazy, that is all I have to say."You, flower girl" I stand straight and look at her attentively, she shows me a shade card of different nail paint options, "which shade of black do you suggest I go with?" She asks pointing to a specific shade card that was filled with different options of the color black.How on earth does black has so many shades?I gulp nervously and squint my eyes to look at them carefully, they all look same to me.My eyes move from the card to her, she's staring at me like a hawk waiting for my suggestion.I quickly point to the third shade, she turns the card to look at herself. Her brows scrunch together. You're dead Daisy."Good choice flower girl" she says in approva
"It's strange that they fear death. Life hurts alot more than that"~ Jim Morrison I can sense the burning stare on my back from the past 10 minutes, yet I ignore it."Daisy" finally Ray speaks up, she's hesitant, I can tell by her voice.I tilt my head to my right to gaze at her "yeah" I respond than turn back to dusting the side table of the guest room."I know sir said not a word but you know me!" She whines like a child which makes me smile. "I promise I won't say a word to anyone, can you please tell me what happened? Or my imaginations will explode my head" she huffs, I hear her plopping down on the single sofa.I stop my work and turn around facing towards her, she has her puppy eyes out for me.I sigh "not a word right?" "PROMISE!" She practically screams in joy just as I finish my question, I shake my head at this big baby."I went to the store room to collect my supplies and got locked in, sir found me inside and to our utter bad luck he also got locked in with me." I expla
"They stab you and pretend they are the one bleeding"~ OurMindfulLife.comIt's been an hour since that horrific encounter I had. I could not sit there and cry my heart out as I was on duty and I had to think a way out of this problem.I am not going to become a whore for that filth.After a few minutes of sobbing, I straightened myself, rubbed my face clean of any tears and picked up my tray. I walked out from behind the pillar as nothing happened.I was forced to serve these rich brats while I was dying from anxiety from the inside.Something about their smiles and laughter was riling me up. I was burning up with anger seeing these people so happy and carefree. Uncaring towards the people that work for them.The people who shed their blood and sweat for them so that these people can enjoy this lavish lifestyle.They glance at us as if we are mere pests.They cry and worry about not getting the newly launched car or fashion piece but don't even bat an eye over the problems of their s
