Master Brian’s maid

But what Jane did not expect, Mrs. Bonie appeared at that moment, followed by two other servants. She motioned for the two of them to bring their food with her irritated, angry, and unhappy face. Maybe Brian sent Bonie here, and at the same time he gave her a lesson like just now.

Bonie glanced sideways at Jane with a smug look, she snorted slightly to show her anger at Jane and quickly walked out of the room.

Jane quietly took the tea tray and went to the garden behind Brian’s room. As soon as she arrived, she saw a scene that surprised her, that was, Mrs. Bonie was forced by Brian to stand on her side carrying two buckets of water in both hands, her face was extremely unpleasant and angry. Mrs. Bonie did not seem to accept and submit to this punishment. Because Bonie mumbled something in her mouth as Jane passed her.

Jane silently walked over to pour tea for Brian and Perry while they were both talking passionately. They were talking about last year’s adventure in the western hill that Perry had been on. He excitedly told Brian how a nobleman like himself had changed when living on a vast prairie hill, and even happier when he lived inside a wooden house built and design by himself.

Perry was a simple, unpretentious man who was the person Brian felt the most love and respect for when his father passed away. Because when Brian talked to Perry, he felt even more comfortable and loved life, he was very grateful to Perry for coming here to visit him and bring an interesting story Brian had wanted to hear.

And the unexpected appearance of the third guest, Lady Chesa, temporarily interrupts Brian and Perry’s conversation. Chesa was eager to get to know Perry, a stepchild of the elderly husband she married. Chesa walked over and sat down at the table to everyone’s surprise, as for Brian, he didn’t seem to like this guest coming here. But he still remained silent, because he was in a good mood today, so he wouldn’t cause trouble with anyone.

Mr. Perry, seeing the stepmother to whom his venerable father married, probingly asked:

“I did not expect the lady to be so young, younger than me. How should we address ourselves?”

Chesa gave a devilish smile and replied:

“Perry, you don’t need to be polite to me, just call yourself a normal householder.”

Brian asked in a sharp voice:

“So Perry should call you are his mother?”

Chesa covered her mouth with her hand and giggled and replied:

“Your uncle doesn’t have to call me that, Perry calls me ma’am.”

Perry did not want the conflict between Brian and Chesa to increase, after all, people living under the same roof, so Perry lowered his voice and asked:

“So, what is the purpose of the lady coming here today? When without prior notice, suddenly came to have breakfast with us like this.”

Chesa looked at her maid Tess and said:

“The truth is that Tess told me about this breakfast. I also wanted to see my son Perry, that’s why I suddenly came here without notification .”

When Perry heard that, he happily replied:

“So the lady was curious about me, so she came to see me. I was really happy to hear that.”

Chesa smiled shyly like a shy girl, making Brian feel even more uncomfortable, he didn’t know what the purpose of her coming to his place was? Or does she want to push with your uncle? Thinking of that, Brian became even more irritated. He chimed in and said:

“Chesa, you’ve met Perry now. So can you make an appointment to meet Perry alone somewhere else?”

Chesa smiled faintly, she calmly replied:

“My nephew, you don’t have to be so upset. Whatever Lawrence is for now, I’ve taken over temporarily. Everywhere we go, if we want to meet anyone here, do we have to listen to your will? I remind you, I have more power and status than you.”

Brian angrily snapped:

“Enough, I’m a bit tired. You two just keep talking, you should stay here for breakfast until you get bored.”

He turned to ask Jane to help him get up to go back into the house, when Mrs. Chesa hurriedly said:

“Wait, there’s still a lot of food on the table. Why don’t you eat it more?”

Brian coldly countered:

“You don’t have to worry about me excessively, I’m full. Jane, help me into the house.”

She was about to help Brian back into the house when Mrs. Chesa said sarcastically:

“Looks like you don’t respect your grandmother. But on the contrary, you are extremely pampering and cherishing this maid.”

Brian turned around and replied:

“The servants at the Lawrence mansion, I consider them all the same, without much distinction.”

Chesa heard that and laughed, she quickly interrupted Brian:

“But I don’t see it that way. Even a servant’s basic service on such a sloppy, seriously wrong table, don’t you blame her?”

Brian pretended to ignore, he did not want to pay attention to what Chesa said, he gestured for Jane to help him quickly go inside. Chesa again provoked him, continuing to say:

“Wibul will say the same thing as I do if Wibul finds out. After all, she is a servant. She should do a good job here. If a clumsy servant doesn’t know how to arrange the table and arranges handkerchiefs on the table, it is not a light humiliation for our family to receive large guests.”

Brian was a master after all, he couldn’t turn a blind eye to the clumsiness of the servant next to him. So he said:

“Okay, she’s not good at that job, she needs time to learn more.”

He glanced briefly at Bonie, who was suffering from punishment, and continued:

“Because there are some people who bring their own jealousy and anger to others, Jane will not be punished. She did her job very well. But Lady Chesa reminded her of that, so I forced her to re-learn how to arrange everything in service to avoid being judged again by some people who don’t understand the matter.”

Brian said loudly enough for everyone in the place to hear:

“From tomorrow, Bonie will have to atone for her mistakes, please teach Jane how to decorate the dining table to the petty tasks of a servant’s job that she does not know. If she makes a mistake or is embarrassed with anything to do with service, the first person to be held accountable is you, Bonie.”Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

He raised his hand to signal a few servants to help Bonie put two buckets of water on the ground, Bonie looked at the master and said:

“Thank you, I’ll teach Jane everything well tomorrow.”

Brian motioned for Jane to help him go inside to rest, and she obeyed. While Chesa was still trying to get Perry to talk to her at the breakfast table. After a while, Chesa was called back by Wibul, and Perry went inside Brian’s room to say a few words and say goodbye to him to move to a friend’s house. Before leaving, Perry had someone give Brian some apple pie, which he happily accepted. And after the guest left the room, Brian looked at the box of apple pie and said to Jane:

“You did a good job today, the cakes in this box are your reward.”

Jane asked in surprise:

“I think they are pretty good. Don’t you like to eat them?”

Brian slyly replied:

“If I say I like it, will you give it to me?”

She nodded and smiled.

“Yes, it’s better to eat together.”

He saw her smile suddenly felt warm and fluttered a little, Brian nodded slightly and said:

“Okay, then let’s do it.”

Jane deftly opened the box of cakes, she put a piece of cake on a small plate and offered it to Brian, who took it and used it. Jane, too, is enjoying it on her plate.

Today, Brian seems to be more cheerful than usual, so he does not have an attitude or act to bully Jane, a normal day passed quietly. And soon the evening came, when Jane finished her work serving Brian. She returned to her bedroom. But it doesn’t seem like things are as quiet as everyone seems outside, because inside Jane’s head, she is thinking and calculating how to go to the kitchen at night to move to that fence and unlock to escape.
