Chapter 10

A few days passed and school ended. Amelia told her parents that she accepted the internship from the company.

"Are you really sure about this?" Her mother asks.

"Yes"

"Be careful, okay?" Her father reminded her.

Amelia nodded as a reply and continues to pack her things. After packing, she went downstairs and saw Damian waiting for her.

"You ready?" He asks.

"Hm" Amelia replied and nodded.

"Let's go" Damian took the luggage Amelia was holding and they went to the car.

Her parents were sad to see their daughter off. They didn't want her to intern but if it's for the sake of their daughter, they are willing to do anything.

While driving, Damian notices the sad expression on Amelia's face. "What's wrong?" He asks.

Amelia looks at him, "huh?" She asks before realizing what he meant.

"I just feel bad. For lying" she said while looking down on her restless hands.

"Would you rather tell them, then?" He asked.

"That-" she said and cuts herself off. There is no way she could ever tell them that she's pregnant.

She went silent and rested her head on the window of the car. After a while, she fell asleep. Damian notices it and carefully changed the position of the seat. He then placed a pillow on her head and covered her with a blanket.

An hour later and they arrived at Damian's house. He carefully wakes her up with his gentle and calm voice. "Amelia" he called.

Amelia moaned a bit but didn't wake up. "Amelia" he said again. He sighs and realizes that she won't wake up. Damian carefully picks her up and carries her. He walks towards the entrance with Amelia in his arms. The maids and butler formed a line and immediately greeted their master.

"Her luggage is in the car. Put it in her room. And assign two maids to attend her" Damian instructed the butler.

The butler nodded his head as a sign of agreement. After their master went away, the maids immediately gossiped.

"Oh my god. Did you see that? He was carrying her like a princess"

"I know right"

"So it really wasn't the former madam, huh"

"Are you kidding me? She's not worthy to be called the madam"

"I hope this new girl isn't as ill-mannered as the other one"

"She's probably as bratty as the other one. When will the master learn how to choose properly?" One of the maids said while sighing.

The butler immediately was enraged and scolded the maid. "Hush. What will you do if the master hears you? Get back to work. All of you" the butler firmly said.

Damian slowly places Amelia on the large queen-size bed of the room. He took her shoes off and covers her with the comforter. He stares at her peacefully sleeping face and carefully removed a hair that was covering her face.

The maids who were very curious were peeping on the slightly open door of the room.

'Oh my' they all thought after seeing their master being so caring and gentle towards a girl.

After they noticed that Damian was about to leave, they immediately pretended to do some work.

Damian felt something off about them but didn't pay them any attention. He went to his study and called for the butler. The butler came and bowed to him.

"What can I do for you, sire?"

"About the maids, did you assign them yet?" Damian asks.

"I'm still choosing, sire" the butler said.

"Choose the first one with pregnancy experience, the second one must be somewhere in her age range" Damian instructed.

"Understood, sire" the butler said.

Damian dismissed him and continued his work.

After a few hours, Amelia woke up from her nap. After sitting up, she notices two girls dressed in a maid uniform, one who looks matured and the other one seems like the same age as her.

"You're awake, madam?" The black-haired one said.

"Who are you?" Amelia asks.

"Oh right. We hadn't introduced ourselves" the brown-haired one said

"My name is Helga, young madam. And this one is Maisy. We were chosen to be the young madam's maids" the black-haired one said and pointed at the one beside her.

"Maids?" Amelia said, confused.

"Yes, madam, maids. We'll take care of you, dress you, and fix your hair, and fix your room, and many more" Maisy said and smiled at Amelia.

"I see," Amelia said and smiled at the both of them. "Nice to meet the both of you," she said and offered her hand to them.

Helga and Maisy looked at each other, surprised at Amelia's action. Maisy was the one who shook hands with Amelia first and then Helga.

'She's a weird one' Helga thought.

"Please get up, young madam. It's time for dinner" Helga said in a professional tone.

"Oh ok," Amelia said and stood up.

"Now, let us fix your hair," Maisy said and pulled the chair in front of the vanity for Amelia. Amelia sat down and Maisy quickly began to brush her untamed hair.

"You know, miss, I was really surprised when the master came into the mansion carrying you like a princess. I mean, that was the first time I saw the master being so affectionate towards someone. But it probably won't be the last now that you live here. And I was really relieved when you're not arrogant and bratty like-" before Maisy could finish her sentence, Helga stopped her.

"Maisy. Stop spouting unnecessary things to the young madam"

"R-right. Sorry. Hehe," Maisy said and continued to brush Amelia's hair.

'Like who?' Amelia asked herself and froze for a few minutes, lost in her thoughts.

"Finished!" Maisy said energetically. "Let us go, young madam. The master is waiting for you"

While the two maids walked ahead of her to show her the way to the dining room she kept looking around, admiring how big the mansion is. 'Calling it a mansion would be an understatement. This is a palace' she thought.

"We're here, young madam" Helga said as they stopped in front of a door. 'This must be the dining room' she thought.
