Chapter 35 Meet Maddy And Erica
A soft knock on the door woke Scarlett from her nap. How shocked she was when she saw that it was already dark outside.
'Oh my God, I'm late for dinner!'
Scarlett quickly got up and sat on the edge of the bed while tying her hair into a messy bun and tidying up her shabby clothes. Her eyes fell at the door before saying, "Come in." Her voice sounded hoarse — she felt her throat slightly hurt.
She thought Xander had come to pick her up for dinner. But she was wrong.
The door slowly opened, and two young girls in black and white uniforms came into view.
'They must be my new maids, right!?'
"Young madam..."
Erica and Maddy were surprised when they saw a young woman with a face like the work of the most perfect god sitting on the edge of the bed.
The woman looks beautiful with her ginger red hair in a messy bun. Her smooth neck seems as white as snow, making her look stunning. And a pair of turquoise eyes as bright as summer stared at them. They were both mesmerized.
But a second later, the two of them were unspeakably shocked. This woman was different from what they had seen before.
Did they come to the wrong room!?
Oh, God! Does Master Xander have two wives?
No, it can't be, right!? This afternoon, only one person came, a woman with short gray hair and thick makeup.
Who is this woman?
Although both are still in shock, they put their curiosity aside. Immediately they hang low their heads while introducing themselves.
"Y-Young madam, I'm Erica, your maid. From now on, I will help you to do anything you want me to do..."
Scarlett looked at Erica. The girl looked young, maybe even younger than her. She was tall and slender, with black hair neatly styled in a tiny bun. What made her immediately remember this girl; her face was slightly pale, and her eyes and facial expressions radiated sincerity and honesty. This girl could be trusted.
"Hello, Erica. Please take care of me." Scarlett smiled sincerely and shifted her gaze to look at the girl next to Erica.
The girl looked different from Erica. She seemed slightly chubby and tanned. Scarlett could see that this girl was quite strong — her arms were muscular, as well as her calves. Her dimples made it easier for Scarlett to remember this girl.
"And your name?" Scarlett asked her.
"Young madam, I am Maddy. I will also serve you from now on. Feel free to assign us if you need assistance. Whatever it is..." Maddy's voice stunned Scarlett — this girl had a good voice and looked kind and polite. She also liked this girl.
'Thank goodness, Xander, chose a nice and kind maid for me...' Scarlett is thankful. It would be troublesome if the maid who would help her didn't have any manners.
"Hai Maddy. I will..." She smiled and stood from the bed. "Come in... I need to talk to both of you about something."
After Scarlett sat on the corner couch, she motioned for them to sit with her. But Maddy and Erica didn't flinch; they just stood there with shocked expressions adorning their eyes.
How can they sit together with their young madam!? This is a rule they never disobey. It doesn't matter how close they are to their new young madam.
'Gosh! Why are these two girls afraid of me!?' Scarlett faintly smiled, looking at their expression. Not wanting to corner them again, she didn't force them any longer.
But Scarlett made a note in her heart; one day, she hoped these two girls could relax more if they were around her. She wasn't used to being served like a princess. It feels weird.
"I want you to keep everything you see on this floor a secret. Including my appearances...." Scarlett paused to meet their eyes for a moment before she continued, "And what did you two hear... Never talk about it with anyone, not even your family or superiors. Can you do that for me?"
Erica and Maddy nodded quickly, "That's one of our duties, Young Madam. Don't worry."
pαndα,noνɐ1,сoМ They had been warned by Sir Paul Kane about this. At first, they were confused about why there was such an order. However, when they saw the Young Madam in this room, they both realized the woman they had seen earlier was the same, but she disguise herself with a wig. And what they saw now was her natural appearance.
"Perfect!" Scarlett smiled as she clapped her hands happily. "Ah, why did you come here? I didn't call you..."
"Young madam, besides us wanting to introduce ourselves, we have come to ask you to come downstairs for dinner," Maddy said.
Scarlett felt tense when she heard it.
'Oh, God! How could I be late for my first dinner with the Ice Prince after he told me the house rules?' Scarlett felt helpless.
She could foresee that the Ice Prince would greet her with his sour face. For sure!
"Okay! I'll change first and come down." She stood up from the couch and went to find her silver wig. "You two wait for me outside!"
"Young madam, let me help you." Maddy nimbly followed Scarlett. But she suddenly stopped a few steps behind Scarlett.
"Thanks, Maddy, but no need. I can do it myself. You two wait outside. I'll be done in 3 minutes." She smiled faintly.
"But, young madam, we have to help you."
"No... No... I don't want you to help me undress. How could you guys see me naked? After all, I'm not a princess. At least we live in the modern era, not in ancient times, right!? So please go and wait for me outside. Otherwise, your master will scold you for delaying doing what I told you to do..." Scarlett chuckled as she saw Maddy's and Erica's pale faces.
"Go, wait outside!"
After the two of them left the room, Scarlett finally breathed a sigh of relief. She quickly changed her clothes.
