Chp 6 Unfriendly

"yes ma'am...."Emily replied,her eyes looking back at Olivia with the same sharpness. She didn't like being bullied especially when Olivia said that Emily was far below her class. She knew, she wasn't as rich as specters but she shouldn't be saying such thing it's too condescending? The admiration she had felt for Olivia has disappeared just because of those words, in the end all rich people are the same. Trash!

"Am I allowed to accompany my mother in the hospital while she got her spinal surgery, I am the only one she had," Emily asked as she was watched Olivia sitting with her feet raised on the table, her sharp heels facing Emily. Olivia stared at Emily for a while before finally agreeing.

"you will be escorted, as long as the contract is valid I will manage and supervise your life outside and inside this place. Just so you know, I have so many eyes, don't expect that you will able to breathe without my knowledge....." Olivia hissed then blew the red nail polish that was peeling off a bit. She chuckled, pressed a button on the intercom, "Call Laura! I don't know what kind of nail polish she put on my nails" she snapped.

Emily winced,she isn't a very good boss...... she mumbled quietly. " This afternoon James will drive you to the hospital, get off my face if you have already finished with your question!" Olivia said as she get kept busy blowing off cheap nail polish. "Damn Laura! she must be using cheap nail polish! Did she steal from me? This nail polish isn't mine!" Olivia was talking to herself.

Before becoming the target of Olivia's anger, Emily came out of the room and met Dorothy who was waiting in the front of the room. "come on," Dorothy mumbled and then walked quickly in front of Emily, who had a grim face. It's seems like dealing with someone like Olivia is not a good thing......

"you will be helping me in the kitchen from now on," said Dorothy without turning to look at Emily. Emily was not surprised, because from the beginning she applied for the housemaid's position.

" Dorothy, don't you think that this house is too big for the two of them? I mean, they have 8 maids and 2cooks, not to mention Gardeners and technicians! What a waste......." Emily muttered to herself, hopelessly that Dorothy would respond to her.

"It's not much, you'd be more surprised if you came to Mr specter's parents house, the house, well castle to be exact, is full of servants, even though they only live alone...... Dorothy unexpectedly responded to Emily's random words, making Emily to smile happily. Looked like Dorothy could be her friend, she was ten years older than Emily, but that won't be a problem!

Their steps stopped at a door which after being opened turned out be a very spacious kitchen. The two cook who are in front of the stove immediately turned to Emily. Their face look quite old, maybe they were in their fifties.

"Hello everyone....." Emily said hesitately she think the cooks would be rude to her

"Hi! you must be Emily? cime in" one of them replied very kindly. Emily smiles grew, felt very welcome there.

"I'm Lucy," a cook with slight grey hair shook Emily's hand.

"I'm Eve," the woman next to her introduced herself, though her face wasn't as friendly as Lucy's, Emily was grateful that at least they weren't rude to her.

"Emily,you are going to help Lucy and Eve with the cooking everyday," Dorothy said as she stepped closer to the stove where there was a pot of steaming asparagus soup on top.

"Why are we cooking this much when madame and master are alone?" Emily asked confused because of how many ingredients that have already prepared for the cooking.

Lucy chuckled, "All the workers including you needs to eat too, right?" she said casually making Emily smile. " What should I do? Emily looked around the room. At that time she accidentally saw Dorothy and Eve chatting while occasionally laughed, this was first time Emily has seen Dorothy put on another facial expression besides her topical flat expression.

" Cut those things," Lucy put down a plastic bag full of broccoli. Emily nodded, All right !" she answered enthusiastically. She had only been out of work only for a day, she was already feeling bored, she was happy that she could finally get back at doing something. Although cooking was quite a new thing for her.

"So how does it feel?" Eve suddenly teased Emily by blinking her eyes. Emily looked up and look at Eve in confusion, Eve chuckled, "come on, don't pretend to be innocent, how does it felt to make love to Mr Specter? you're the first person to have melt his heart,"

For a moment Emily thought that Dorothy was going to lecture Eve or something but to her surprise, Dorothy snorted with laughter. It seemed that Dorothy and Eve are very good friends. The two old ladies match each other very well, Emily muttered quietly.

"How does it felt Emily? you don't want to share your story with us?" Eve put on an intimidating face.

Lucy threw Eve with jalapeno, "leave the girl alone! your question is so rude!" said Lucy glaring at her.

Instead of getting angry, Dorothy and Eve burst out laughing and even more strangely, Lucy laughed too. Emily just grimaced, it seemed like she didn't fit with this people they were so far apart in age. Feeling uncomfortable, Emily chose to focus on the broccoli she was cutting.

"When you're done with the broccoli, continue peeling this, " Lucy placed a big bag of potatoes in front Emily. Emily nodded with a smile.

Several minutes later,

Emily looked in surprise because of the laughter that sounded so loud enough. On the stools Eve, Lucy and Dorothy were chatting intimately while enjoying the carrot cake in front them, Suddenly something drenched in Emily's chest, it seemed they didn't expect her to be there. Emily had just thought about making friends with all of them, she changed her mind.

Finished with the potatoes, Lucy quickly handed Emily a basket full of hard-boiled eggs for her to peel. Emily wanted to protest and asked why they weren't helping her at all, but she felt it might cause an explosion, so she chose to remain silent and continue working with her slightly sore hands.

Suddenly the kitchen door swung open, figure of a man in suit apeaered before them with curly brown hair and a handsome face. Emily quickly looked away and looked back down at the egg she was peeling.

" Dorothy were, you looking for me?" the man asked walking briskly towards Dorothy.

Dorothy screamed "Oh my gosh! I forgot! Emily leave your job! you have to get ready to go to hospital right? James will take you!"

"James you're the one who will escort her, bring her back here or Mrs Specter will kill you," Dorothy mumbled while occasionally cleaning her teeth with her teeth with her tongue, it looks like the carrot cake she was eating got stuck in her teething.

James turned to Emily who was washing her hands Emily face look gloomy, she was indeed excited because she was going to meet her mother, but she was also annoyed that she had to see Lucy and Eve every day.....

"Emily," hearing her James call her name, snapped her out of her thoughs. She looked up, their eyes met, James seemed enchanted by the natural beauty that radiated on Emily's face, he didn't day anything and just stared at Emily in awe....
