The girl was left in the room, watching the lady sleep.
"What can be bothered while madam is asleep?" harvest in mind while thinking of what to do. Because nothing else entered her mind. She thought of just jogging. For stretching of the body. Since she did not have a yoga mat, she just sat on the floor and began the yoga ritual.
She was squirting as she stretched her left arm to the right side. She counted in his mind what she was doing, after that, the other way around she did and mulling counted in her mind. While she was busy with her yoga session, she did not realize that the lady was awake. It immediately cried out when it saw her in the room.
"Who are you?" shocked and angry at this question to her.
"Ma'am, I didn't try, I was born." she said.
"Who are you?" madam asked the question again. The girl especially did not understand.
"Ma'am, I'm not from that." she replied, it's up to her that she didn't understand. She stood up to approach the lady but she moved away from him. Move the bed away. It scared her.
"Luh, ma'am just saw me, she's feeling that I'm sadako?" harvest in her mind.
She removed the navel of her hair. And because it was long and she was sweating from yoga, she looked like sadako.
"Help! Help!" lady's cry.
Because of the lady's shout, the attention of the people in the mansion was taken away. The young man's father made sure that Mother's room was not soundproof so that when they heard a noise in the room, they would know immediately. The staff of the whole mansion ran towards the room where the lady and the maiden were, as did Akhmad. The young man almost flew between the library room and Mother's room in a hurry to get closer to the room. When they opened the door, they saw the lady-she was terrified of the girl in front of her and she went back to bed.
"Madam, don't be afraid, I'm just Layla Metalstone. Your new caregiver. Please don't be scared, Madam. I'm harmless. I won't bite you."
Scene reached by the young man. The young man quickly approached his Mother because she was about to fall. He immediately hugged his Mother and turned to face her.
He threw a bad look at the girl, Layla. The girl did not know what to do. She was afraid of the man's poker face. She didn't mean to scare his mom, she just forgot to blow her hair because of her yoga.
"S-sorry, Sir. I didn't mean for Madam to be afraid of me. I didn't fix my hair because I immediately approached her. I was doing yoga while she was asleep." she explains here.
"You are on duty, and yet you're doing yoga? I guess I was wrong hiring you for this job. You almost gave my mom a heart attack!" the young man shouted angrily at the girl.
The girl is nervous because maybe even before the end of the day, she is already at her work. Why is she bored? That made her boss seem hesitant to allow her to continue working. Her hands were cold and nervous. Pray that she will not be fired immediately. May this give her a chance to end her contract.
"Sir, I'm sorry, I was bored while waiting for Madam to wake up so I stretched for a while. I'm sorry Sir, please don't fire me. I need a job. Please?" she begs here. It was still bad looking at her.
"Young man, who is she? Why is she here in my room? She's a thief?"
The girl's eyes widened as well as her nostrils loosened at hearing what the lady said. She understood what it said. The last word. "Thief". She might not fully understand her language because she's using her own dialect but the word thief bothered her.
Is she a thief? In her long life she has never been able to steal, only once when there is too much coleslaw in the burgers they sell in her previous job but other than that there is nothing.
She would have answered, but she immediately heard that the young man had already answered.
"Mom, she's not a thief. She's your new hire Caregiver. She will be the one to take care of you, while we are busy at work. Don't be scared Mom, she's harmless although she looks scary, though."
Okay, hopefully, he defended the case for saying she was scary. Since when? She's so beautiful!
She glared at the young man. She doesn’t care if he owns it or not. Her heart was hurt by what he said that scared her.
"This Grumpy Scammer you thought wasn't scary either. He looks more like a monster to me," she whispered. She wanted to answer it in case she would be fired if she answered. She heard the staff of the mansion in the back laughing. She forgot there was an audience. She turned to look at them with an angry look on her face, they immediately left and laughed softly. They're all bullies. Turns out people here were not informed.
She looked back at the mother and son. The lady calmed down so she rested easily. But she is still scared because his boss has not yet announced the verdict in her boring session. The yoga!
"S-sir, please don't fire me?" she said in a pleading tone.
The young man sighed and turned his gaze to her. He must be angry and he must be this fire right away but he doesn’t know why he can’t get rid of it. If it was in his office, no matter how good his staff was, he immediately accepted only one, false but this woman in front of him, he could not understand why he could not do the deed and rebuke it. As he was accustomed to the nature of his work.
"I guess we just need her for my mom." he convinced himself. That's all. They need caregivers and don't mix it up.
