Chapter 56
She cut me off before I could even finish what I was saying. “Hush, I don’t want excuses, maid! I just want things to be done. Just do what I told you!” She said in a serious tone of voice as she turned her back on me and just continued to look at herself in the mirror.
“I swear, I have to tell you twice about everything you do? Can’t you just be automatic? I mean, how hard it is to iron a dress? You just have to make sure you don’t miss any creases in the dress. How would you even mess that up, Krisna?” She said to me in a cocky tone of voice, as if she would have done a better job than me. In times like this, her true side comes out, but she doesn’t reveal it to the public since she still wants them to think that she is the perfect daughter of the Alpha family.
“I’m sorry, Ms. Asthrid, I’ll get to do it right away. Please wait here.” I said to her as I took the dress and left the room as fast as I could so that she wouldn’t see my face. I wanted to hit her, just like what Greco was telling me. But I couldn’t. I needed to hold back my feelings because if I just let it get the best of me, then I would surely end up somewhere not ideal right now.
“Hurry up, will you? I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but I’m still wearing my towel!” She yelled at me, and I really don’t know how I even put up with her all those years.
I went back to the other room to get the dress fixed as she wanted. I ironed it out two more times to make sure that she didn’t see any imperfections on it. When I went back to her, she looked at the dress again and looked more agitated than last time.
It feels like she is doing this on purpose. She hates me that much? So she would rather be late to the Annual pack gathering so that she could mess with me? I never really did much to her. I obeyed everything she asked me to. I never once said no. But I guess there’s really no point in changing someone that was already beyond repair.
“Do it again, this time, do it perfectly.” She said in a mocking tone of voice, and I knew she was doing this on purpose.
I just stormed out of that room since I felt like I wanted to hit somebody. Hopefully, when I do hit someone, it isn’t her. I just went outside to get some fresh air because I felt like she was suffocating me inside. My breathing was heavy, I was practically panting, but everything calmed around me the moment I stepped outside.
Krisna’s POV
I went outside, and everything felt calmer, maybe because it was the change of surroundings. Asthrid’s room was starting to make me suffocate, and it felt like I was just inside a prison cell even though they were nothing alike. I don’t know what came through me, and I just stormed out of there like I didn’t care about what would happen to me afterward. It was a good thing she didn’t notice that I was furious at her, or she would have definitely had me detained or maybe even worse.This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
The atmosphere is cold, my surroundings are serene, and I feel a little freer than before. Should I go back there? Nah, I think I’ll stay here. For now, it’s much more peaceful and more organized than up there.
Hopefully, she doesn’t realize that I left the room to get a breather since that excuse would likely get me in trouble. “Hey! It’s that junkie maid again!” I hear someone say that, what is wrong with them? Do they not give up? Or do they really think that they can just bully anyone they like? I already gave them a warning, and these girls are so persistent. Don’t even dare coming here, or I will make sure to give all of you more than just a warning. I am not going to hold back when it comes to you all. They’re not like Asthrid, who I basically cannot defy because of her status as the daughter of the Alpha family, but these girls? They’re way lower, in fact, they’re nowhere near Asthrid nor Grant’s status.
“You wanna go over there?” One of them said as they all started giggling, ugh! Just wait till all of them get here. I’ll make sure any of you won’t mess with me again, permanently. I am ready for anything, and if they touch me even in the slightest, I will not hesitate to cause a scene since Asthrid is busy upstairs just doing her hair while she waits for the dress.
They were all giggling with all of their smug faces. I hate dealing with people like them, they think that they’re all above everyone, but they can be solved by making sure that they know their place. “Hey, maid! How’s the bloody head? All healed up?” One of them said in an obnoxious tone of voice.
“I don’t know why, but ever since you guys talked to me, every time I hear your voices, it literally makes my eardrums hurt, so can you just please shut up and stop talking for once? Thank you.” I said in a sarcastic tone of voice, and I wanted to fight them as soon as I could. Even if it’s not a physical fight, I can still beat them in their mind games. There may be more of them and only one of me, but I know that I am capable of dealing with their kinds, they may think that they have me surrounded, but I’m more powerful when I know I’m in a tight pinch.
One of them looked disgusted and just scoffed at me, I mean, they’re the ones who started everything, and now they feel insulted? Good.
“Why are you even talking to us? You don’t even know us, and you’re acting all close.” One of them said without any hesitation at all, what is wrong with this girl? I don’t know if she’s stupid or not. Everything she said right now didn’t make any sense at all.
I smiled at them and chuckled. “What? I don’t know if you’re just stupid or just dense. Whatever the case, learn to understand what others are saying, okay? It’ll make you sound smarter. That’s way better than just saying whatever comes out of your mouth.” I said in a sarcastic voice, and it felt so good to say all of that to her. She was just speechless. Or maybe she didn’t understand what I said. Where did Mabelle find them? Like how are they even her friends? She is clearly educated but not well-mannered, but them? Wow!
This triggered something in her which made her furious. “Why you! You can’t talk to me like that!” She started to move towards me and raised her arm, and she was about to slap me. I was ready to dodge it, but then Mabelle intervened and held her arm so she couldn’t move it, “Stop it, V! you’re just proving her point.” She said in a serious tone of voice as she pulled her closer and away from me.
