Rachael woke up to find herself alone. She gazed around the room strangely before remembering how she got there. "Your Majesty?" She called softly, looking for Damian. She got up from the bed and searched the bathroom but she found no one.
"Maybe he went to get something." She assured herself and turned to return to the bed but the sound of her growling stomach stopped her on her track.
"I'm hungry, let me get something to eat and maybe I might meet the King on the way." She soliloquizes before heading for the door and opening it. The hallway was wide and long with so many doors.
"How am I going to find a kitchen in here? There are so many doors." She lamented but decided to check all the rooms, how hard could it be? One of them had to be the kitchen, eventually.
Upon opening the fifth door,she was happy to see it looked like a kitchen because it had cooking utensils and equipments. She walked into it and closed the door gently, she was about commending herself audibly for a job well done when what she heard stopped her.
It was the maids,they were gossiping about her,supposedly. She his in a corner, just behind the counter. It was a very huge kitchen so it would be hard to spot her.
"Some people really are shameless, you know. I can't believe she had the guts to come back to this house after all the scandals she's created." Tina,one of the maids said.
"The boss is too kind to her,he's a very nice man. I wish to have a husband just like him. She doesn't know what she has and that's why she's playing with it." Diana said.
"But the lady is evil. What does she gain in tarnishing hers and the boss's image as she has been doing since they got married a year ago? I heard she fought with the minister's wife in public, can you imagine that? What sane person would go around picking fights with an important person like that? The boss had to pull a lot of strings so that she wasn't arrested and yet,the ungrateful woman never learned her lesson." Ciara,another maid testified.
"Only three months after that, a huge amount went missing in his company and he involved the police thinking it was one of his employees who had committed the theft. But after the investigation, it was found out by the police that it was his own wife who was actually the thief. Again, he saved her from being arrested but the media didn't fail to air the truth. I'm sure he would have lost a lot of money and investors when people heard of it." Cara,yet another maid relayed.
"The one I'm sure should have been the last straw to break the camel's back was that video of hers that went viral. I thought we would be seeing her no more after that but no,she pops up again with amnesia. You know what? I think she's pretending. I only feel sorry for the boss,he's letting her ruin his life." Brietta,the fifth and last maid said and just then,Butler Francis walked in on them,he didn't spot Rachael.
"You girls are gossiping again, I see." He said as he approached them.
"The madam is rather a peculiar character don't you think? Who else would we talk about?" Brietta enquired with a sly smile.
"I hate that woman, only the sight of her has the ability to ruin my day. She's out to destroy Master Damian's life but he's too soft hearted to stop her. She doesn't deserve happiness at all because all she has been doing is making all our lives miserable." Butler Francis said, his voice laced with anger.
"Yes,she was so mean to us and punish us without reason. I still have a scar on my shoulder from the hot tea she pored on me." Tina said shifting her dress to show a semi large scar on her shoulder.
