A personal maid
1361 Words
Looking at Luggard's countenance, I mentally prepared for the worst as I followed him.
When I walked into the living room with Luggard, what I saw in front of me confirmed my suspicions.
Susanne was sitting with my mother, Isabella, who wasn't looking happy, but Susanne looked somewhat happy.
"Tiffany, Alpha chief Lycan has asked Susanne to come and take you to his estate to live there". My mother said, looking over at me with pain and regret in her eyes.
"What?! To live there? At Alpha Lycan's estate?!" I couldn't believe my ears.
Lycan has clearly rejected me twice, even when he claimed it wasn't a rejection to die, and had threatened me not to leave Luggard's pack on my own. Now, he has asked Susanne to come to my house and take me to his estate to live there.
What does Lycan Herlbert really want?
"It is the Alpha chief's instruction, and we are not to debate it but only obey". Susanne explained calmly.
"You will live in Alpha Lycan's estate as his personal maid". My mother added. I could feel the words too heavy in her mouth.
Personal maid? I froze again. Lycan was going to have me as his personal maid; how dare he?!
"No, I don't want to go and work for anyone as a maid". I replied stubbornly.
I now detest everything in that villa from the bottom of my heart.
"Listen Tiff, I don't want you to go too; no one want you to go either. But, we don't have a choice. I really hope you ubderstand".my mother's eyes glistened with tears; conveying her sadness to me.
"You know the outcome if we refuse, and we don't want such an outcome. But as Isabella said, if we don't do as we are told, we would be dragging all the wolves in this pack down with us". Luggard said. Even though he looked at Susanne and sighed, I couldn't seem to find any remorsefulness in his voice.
"Tiffany, even though you will be living there as a maid, you can always come home for vacations. Just think of it as work, or as an exercise for you." Susanne comforted me.
"Come on Tiffany, we are going to meet our mate there; don't be so sad about it, okay!".
Jada still harbour the anticipation of seeing Lycan and his wolf again.
All kinds of voices filled my ears and make me more annoyed
But as they said, neither if us had another choice. Lycan is powerful, and no one would want to stand against him.
"It's okay, I will go". I compromised anyway, tears running down my cheeks as I said the words.
"Tiffany, I know you are upset inside,but you will always have your family; we'll always be there for you". My mother said, as she touched my head and hugged me.
Tears still flowing down helplessly.
"Lady Susanne, please take good care of Tiffany for me while over there", Isabella added, as she wiped the tears from my eyes with her palm, looking reluctant to let me go.
Sitting in the car on our way, I looked in the rear-view mirror and watched my mother smuggled in Luggard's arms and sobbed. Then everything started going backwards, and I looked out through the car window in a daze; imagining what I was about to face.
Lycan's unwarranted spite?
The ridicules of others in the villa?
Thoughts filled my mind, as I looked on to the objects as they speed pass while the Limo moved.
"Tiffany you are now Alpha Lycan's personal maid, so you will be in charge of everything for him. You will need to avoid making any mistakes as much as possible, or you won't avoid being punished ". Susanne admonished me, sitting next to me in the Limo.
"I know". I responded.
Lycan hated me. And sometimes when some nobleman hated someone, they would try to bully that person in every way possible.
It didn't take long to reach the villa, and I followed Susanne inside.
"The building in divided into four floors; the top floor is the guest room, and the third floor is Alpha Lycan's living area; where is bedroom and study are located. The second floor is the dining and meeting area, and the first floor is the lobby".
Susanne introduced me to the villa on the left, and there were two more adjacent buildings in the middle, and on the right. But Susanne didn't talk about them.
I listened as we tour around, and took everything to heart.
"In addition to cleaning, you are responsible to clear up all the clothes, wash and iron them here". She said as we arrived the dressing room.
She took a maid's outfit and gave it to me to put on.
Changing my clothes, I looked mysrlf in the mirror and felt an indescribable sadness in my heart.
I would be working for my own mate in this kind of outfit.
Sad!
I would have to face Lycan again, and face another humiliation.
"Tiffany, you have to go see Alpha Lycan now. As his personal maid, you have to get his schedules from him". Susanne said, looking at me and smiling in admiration.
"Yes, I will be on my way to him now". I answered, trying to calm myself down and accept my fate.
"Tiff, I have to tell you to always watch yourself when you stand before Alpha Lycan. Don't take the initiative to talk first, Without him asking you to talk; you must let him talk and then respond. Do you understand me?".
Susanne couldn't help but feel a little unassured about my performance yet.
"Yes, I will remember. Can I go to him now?". I asked.
"He is in the garden". Susanne said, smiling up at me in assurance.
Although I am not ready to, and didn't want to face Lycan, I am here now and none of these could change. My only hope now is not to make a mistake, and not to be punished.
Susanne led me to the garden, still bugging me along the way with the 'dos and 'don'ts of Lycan
"You must have his breakfast ready by seven o'clock every morning, his lunch by twelve noon, and his dinner by seven o'clock in the evening. Don't mess the schedules up ".
The closer I got to the garden, the more nervous I became; wondering how I should greet Lycan when I met him.
In the garden, Lycan was sitting at a small round table, reading a book. A cup of coffee was also on the table.
"Look, he's over there Tiffany; we finally met them again. Go say 'hi to him", Jada was jumping with excitement and shouting in my head.
"I know Jada, but I don't want to say hello to him", I responded in my head.
"Mr Lycan, your personal maid Tiffany has arrived; you can tell her what you have arranged next to do, and she will surely accomplish it well".
I was talking to Jada when Susanne has led me to Lycan.
Lycan looked up slightly, and as his cold eyes fell on my face, I hurriedly avoided his gaze. Susanne also just stood aside, waiting for him to answer.
"This cup of coffee is cold, get me a hot one". Lycan said, with his head still lowered to his book.
"Yes Mr Lycan ".
I reached out, and took the cup of coffee from the table.
"Susanne go ahead and do your business, I'm sure she can do a good job". Lycan said, to Susanne, head stil lowered to his book.
Susanne gave me a quick look, and together we turned to leave.
When I returned to Lycan with a cup of hot coffee, he took a taste and frowned.
"Didn't Susanne tell you that I don't like too much of sugar in my coffee? Lycan said, looking at me with so much discontent.
"I am sorry Mr Lycan, I will change it right away". I said as I picked up the cup of coffee and left.
I should have guessed he would toss me around like this.
