The next day, Rory had gotten up early and parked her bags as well as a few books to read at the mansion. They would be given uniforms to wear when they started working at the mansion, thus no clothing from outside was allowed.She had skipped out on informing her mother of her departure. Her mother would have insulted her yet again, this time calling her useless, like she had done the night before. Rory walked to Noah's room, kissed him on the head, and left him a note, and when she arrived at her mother's room, she tilted the door open a little and peered inside, whispering her goodbye before leaving the house completely.Caroline waved to her as they got into the car together. Rory, on the other hand, was optimistic. How difficult would it be to cope with her haughty boss? What could possibly go wrong with him? As she started the car and drove away, she wondered. She must not be late, and she must be on time to wake the young master for his breakfast; if she is even a few minutes
The hand that touched Eren was pushed away as he gasped once more from the nightmare. He believed that his fear had followed him into the real world. He shouted as he sat up, "Get away from me!" His voice trembled as he asked, reaching with his hand for his cane, "Who are you? and why do you want me dead?" Rory could feel the terror in his voice. After rising from his bed, she bowed her head. "Young Master, it's Rory Anne." Eren exhaled with relief at the sound of her voice. He was relieved that it didn't come to what he had imagined.He asked, "Why are you in my room?" His back was against the headboard slat. "Young master, it's time for you to get up. You can count on me to wash you up and get you ready for breakfast." Prior to catching her gaze, Rory had to speak again. Eren sighed and made an effort to leave the bed. "What time is it?" As his feet firmly landed on the ground, he questioned. "Young Master, it is morning." To properly assist him in getting up, Rory ran to the ot
The man hadn't said a word for about a few seconds. Rory was standing next to Eren with her head bowed, and he was staring at her."Father." The youngest son of Mr. Khan, Peter, who was older than Eren in age, leaned close to his father. "Question him regarding the hospital." He said. "Is she a new maid?" Instead, Mr. Khan had questioned while pointing and glancing at Jessie. "The last time I came here, I didn't see her. What became of your previous one?" He asked. Eren raised his brows. "Why are you here, Uncle?" After asking, he laughed. "I am aware that it is not about breakfast. What do you really want?" "Father came here to..." "Once breakfast is finished, I'll tell him myself." Mr. Khan spoke without allowing his younger son to finish. Despite being twins, Liam and Jack didn't resemble one another. On the chair, they had been silent. When one of the boys' eyes landed on Rory's, she lowered her head as soon as she made eye contact with him. She must have been crazy to look
"Did you see what I just did back there?" Eren was giggling non stop as he carefully sat on the bed. While placing his cane by the side of his bed, he rested his hands on his legs. "I wish I had been able to see the expression on his face. He must be furious with me for not giving him what he wanted." Rory glanced at him before averting his gaze in an instant. Eren's happiness at provoking his uncle's wrath was evident to her. "I can't hear you laughing. Are you trying to imply that what I did wasn’t amusing?" He asked. "No, young master, You're hilarious. In fact, I could tell your uncle was furious. Haha." Eren was aware that Rory had faked her laughter. "You can go. I should get some sleep." He said while putting his feet up on the bed and pulling his pillow close to him. He leaned his head against it and shut his eyes. After a minute, Rory's presence was still felt by Eren. "I request that you leave me alone. I want to be by myself." His chuckle this time changed to a frown. "
Rory remained in the same position behind him as he ate lunch. She had heeded Caro's advice to avoid acting like his mother and to carry out all of his requests. "Pass the chicken to me." She looked at Eren when he spoke. Since he began to eat, he hadn't said a word to her. He seemed to be upset."Yes, sir," Her hand went toward the chicken. "How many pieces?" She enquired while clutching the bowl in both hands. "Two is enough." Eren replied while putting the vegetable in his mouth after pinching it with his fork. Rory transferred the chicken to his plate using the wooden spoon. Back on the table, she set the plate. "Where has Mr. Lewis gone?" He looked up at her and chewed on the chicken he had just tasted. "He said he would be in his study and explained that he would not be joining you for lunch today because he had to work.""Did he tell you specifically what work he was doing?" Eren enquired, but his focus had returned to his meal. "No, sir, not really." "All right then. On
Rory put Eren to bed after his bath that evening and then immediately went to bed. She didn't have time to talk to Caroline. She followed the specific rule that stated they were not permitted to wander the house after the young master went to bed.As she cocked her head toward the table, she sighed. She reached for the novel she had started but hadn't finished. A smile spread across her face as her hand traced the title that was written on the front cover. Irreplaceable MistakesRory had worried about what would happen if Chloe were to awaken from her coma and discover that her twin sister, Zoella, was the reason she had fallen into it in the first place. As Rory read on, a wave of dread and curiosity swept through her. She found it increasingly difficult to put the book down and go to bed as she read more. She had been up too late and was startled to see that it was already three in the morning when she looked at the clock. She closed the book after placing a bookmark inside of i
Rory's mistrust of Mr. Lewis persisted even after three days had passed. Just yesterday, the head of the maids caught her in the hallway while she was trying to peek through the closed door of Mr. Lewis' study to see if she could hear or see anything that would prove she was correct about the butler being up to no good. "I was lost." Rory had said, hoping the head of the maids would take her word for it. "I've never been in this area before, and I had no idea how I got here."As she drew near, the head of the maids gave her a slow nod. "This way leads to the butler's study, and you will regret it if he sees you wandering around here. The hallway leading to your room is on the left; turn there." She was unaware that Mr. Lewis' study was so close to her room. Rory shook her head, trying to get that thought out of her head as she started the morning by adding hot water to Eren's jacuzzi. She was glad she wasn't caught yesterday because, otherwise, she would have been kicked out of th
The doctor stumbled to a stop in front of them, panting and with her hands on her knees as she attempted to take a breath. She was wearing some makeup, and her black hair was also pulled back into a bun. Her smile had caused Rory to feel a little uneasy. She was very attractive and a little tall. That voice is one Eren would recognize anywhere. It appeared as though, among all of his cousins, she was the only one he liked. He grinned. Rory noticed his smile. Her gaze returned to the doctor. Who was she to smile at Eren? Never before had he grinned so broadly. He had never before, as far as she knew, smiled like that. "I'll handle it from here," she said to Rory. As soon as Rory left Eren's side, she reached for his hand. "Amelia." He called while grinning slightly. "You were aware I was here." "Of course," she replied, guiding Eren to the office as Rory followed them. She brushed off her slight feelings of resentment and jealousy. Who was she to worry about him in the first plac
