Just then, the telephone in the room started ringing aloud. Emily was taken aback for a moment as she wondered what a telephone was doing there in the room.“Come to the living room”, she heard Barbara’s voice, that caused her to shudder in fright.“Right away, ma’am”, she replied and dropped the call.From all indications, they had placed the telephone there to make communication much easier.She hurriedly stood to her feet and walked towards the living room, which was about three minutes walk away from her quarters.Entering into the living room, she met Barbara, who was sitting on a couch, with her legs crossed and a glass of wine in her hands.Emily wondered if the rich always had a glass of wine in their hands every hour of the day.“Perhaps, it’s their lifestyle”, she thought silently, wondering if she would ever be like that when she eventually becomes rich.“I’m here, ma’am”, Emily said calmly as she bowed her head in respect.“Sit”, Barbara commanded, without taking her head

Emily recovered from the shock of the day quite earlier than she thought she would. After Barbara had left, she stayed rooted to the spot for a few more minutes before finally headed over to her quarters.She felt goosebumps all over her body as different thoughts made way to her head.“Her husband?” She said to herself again as cold shivers ran down her spine.She seemed to be getting a chunk of surprises ever since she stepped her foot into the mansion.Firstly, she had met Barbara, who she had no idea of her existence. She had thought that the house belonged to Richard, since he was the one who handled the interview.Secondly, the woman was sassy and arrogant, indirectly throwing insults at her as though she were a dumb lady who had no idea of how things worked.Just when she had thought that was all, Barbara had come up with rules pertaining to how she was meant to live in the house. She didn’t have a problem with that. However, she had a huge problem with the way Barbara glared

Emily walked into the large kitchen and looked around in amazement as her jaws dropped in awe.Her hands trailed on the countertops as she tried to wonder how a kitchen could be so large and beautiful.The kitchen had light-brown cabinets, with two massive doors. These cabinets had different plates of various sizes and designs, large bowls, different types of teas and cereals at another end.The large white refrigerator stood at the far end of the kitchen, close to the dining section that was made with marbles and fine stones.She gulped down hard as she tried to think of how excited she would be if she eventually owns a home as this.She settled to prepare dinner of mashed potatoes and meat loaf. Somehow, she was grounded in cooking as she always stayed with her mother in the kitchen whenever she was back home from school.A wide smile spread across her lips when she saw the refrigerator, which was stocked up with anything one might need in the kitchen.She sliced the tomatoes as sh

“Please, sit with me”, Richard repeated when he saw that Emily wasn’t attempting to do what he had said.“No, I rather stand as it’s against my role”, Emily stuttered and trembled.“Let’s eat together, or I may not eat at all”, he said and without uttering any more words, she drew out a seat and sat down.Emily stared at him calmly as she picked up her plate to dish out some meal for herself.At intervals, she gazed at the entrance of the door in a bid to check out for signs of Barbara.“She won’t be back today or anytime soon”, Richard said with a scoff and almost immediately, Emily caught a glimpse of pain in his eyes.She gulped down hard and nodded her head in understanding, after which she placed a spoonful of the mashed potatoes into her mouth.She chewed on it calmly, hoping that she doesn’t choke on it because of Richard’s stares.Richard took in a deep breath and placed some meat loaf into his mouth. He chewed on it as he closed his eyes and moaned slightly.Emily chuckled in

Emily set the table of scrambled eggs and sausage with some toast.She waited in the dining hall, hoping that he would come down before his meal gets cold.After a while, she heard his footsteps approaching the dining hall and unknowingly, she let out a massive sigh of relief. Richard had been lost in thoughts after his conversation with Mike. The more he thought about the good things he stood to gain from the banquet, the more confused he became.While lost in thoughts, he inhaled something coming from the kitchen and needed no one to tell him that Emily was preparing something again.A giant smile made its way to his face as he hurriedly made his way to the dining hall.“I perceived something great, and I’m glad I came to the exact place it’s coming from”, Richard said as he flashed at Emily.“Good morning, sir”, Emily greeted and bowed her head in respect.“Cut out the sir, I’m fine with Richard”, he said as he picked up the toast and munched on it in delight.He tried so hard to
