Her First Love

Chapter 18

EMMA POV:

After hanging up the phone, I walked towards the door. I opened the room door slightly and peeked outside to look for any sort of danger. The hallway was dead silent. I slowly got out of the room and started walking in the hallway.

The hallway was big and the walls were covered with beautiful paintings. Rays of sunlight were also peeping through windows present in the hallway. As I was walking forward, I came across a big mahogany door at the end of the hallway. I wonder what was behind this closed door. I went near that door and put my hand on the doorknob but curiosity killed the cat.

Someone spoke from behind which took me by surprise. I stood there startled and slowly turn around.

'How are you now? Miss.' a middle-aged lady was standing there with a sweet smile on her face.

'I am good. You can call me Emma' I smiled nervously and scratched the back of my neck.

She politely said 'and I'm Amelia.'

'Nice name.' I didn't know what to say anymore. I started looking at my bare feet.

'Breakfast is ready. Come downstairs after you freshen up.' she smiled and turned to go.

'There is no need for that, Auntie.' I politely refused her. They already helped me so much. How can I burden them with breakfast? 

'I'll be happy if you do breakfast. Also, call me by my name.' there was a broad smile on her face. I didn't refuse her further. 

'Okay, Amelia.' I couldn't help but smile back at her.

She guided me to the room where I was before. I entered the room and she went away. I went towards the bathroom. It was also of dark color. Walls were dark grey giving the effect of black color. I did my business and washed my hands.

I looked in the mirror and 'Wow' my face was makeup-free. Someone also cleaned my face when changing my clothes.

'But who changed my clothes? Did the man who saved me last night change my clothes? Did he see me n***d?'

Oh no no Emma, Think good. Why would he change me? I tried to comfort myself.

There was a new packed toothbrush present on the sink. I brushed my teeth with that and washed my face. I also brushed my hair to make myself somewhat presentable. I took a look at what I was wearing. A big white shirt was covering my body that goes below my thighs. At least it is better than the dress that I was wearing last night as it covers more of my body.  I folded the shirt's sleeves because they were too long as compared to my arms.

I heard a knock on the door. I opened the door and there stands another girl in her late twenties.

'Amelia sends me to take you downstairs.' she politely said.

I went with her and it was good for me because I didn't know the way to the dining area. I will most probably be lost in this big mansion without her help.

We went downstairs and the maid leads me to the dining area. I smiled and thanked her for help.

She smiled back. Everyone in this house is so warm-hearted.

I sat at the dining table. There was no family member present there. Also, I didn't saw any family photos on the way. Sitting alone in someone else house was very awkward. Soon Amelia entered the room with maids behind her carrying breakfast. Maids put the trays on the table and went out of the room. I offered Amelia to have breakfast with me because I don't like eating breakfast or dinner alone. I always have someone to eat with.

Amelia politely refused and stand a few steps away from me. I took a sandwich and half-filled my glass with juice. I looked down at my plate and took a small bite. As I was eating, I remembered something.

'Do you know who brought me here last night?' I asked Amelia.

'Young master brought you here.' She replied shortly. I wonder who the young master is.

'Can I meet him?' I asked because I also wanted to thank him.

'He had an emergency therefore he had to go early.' Amelia said with a hint of sadness in her eyes.

I nodded my head and thought 'I did not even get to see the face of my savior.'

I went back to eating but I was not feeling much hungry. I took a few bites and I was full. I also finished my glass of juice.

'Thank you for the food.' I politely said while standing up.

'You ate very little. Eat some more, dear.' Amelia said taking a few steps close to me and looking at my plate.

'No, I am full. You all really helped me so much. I will not take more time.' I said showing my gratitude.

Amelia sent a maid upstairs to bring my stuff. We walked out of the dining room while talking with each other. We reached the main door and waited for my stuff. 

'You are such a sweet girl. Hope we will meet again in the future.' she said with her eyes sparkling.

'I'll be glad.' I smiled but didn't fully understand the meaning of her sentence.

'Driver can take you home.' Amelia courteously said.

'But...' she didn't let me complete my sentence and spoke.

'No buts and Ifs. You are our guest and young master will not be happy if he knew this.'

I have no other option except to agree. She beamed at me happily. In this little time, she made me feel at home.

Soon maid came with my stuff and I made my way outside. There was a big beautiful and well-kept lawn in front of the mansion. The car was also ready to go in the driveway.

I sat in the car, gave the driver the directions and smiled at Amelia one last time that she happily returned. The driver started the engine and drove out of the mansion gates.

The drive to my house was almost thirty minutes.

I reached my destination, thanked the driver and got out of the car. The driver then drove away. I sneakily entered the house in fear that if anybody saw me in this shirt then they will surely throw a tantrum. Luckily, everyone was sleeping in their rooms because it was Sunday

I slowly went upstairs to my room. I changed my clothes and carefully kept my 'savior's shirt' in the closet. Maybe I will get to meet him one day.

I lay down on the bed to rest a little bit. The exhaustion from last night again took over me. Soon I fell asleep into my peaceful slumber but that faceless 'savior' guy kept popping up in my dreams.
