Xiu Xiao's POV
I'm Xiu Xiao a citizen of M Nation, I have a father and a brother that lived in the town. My mother died because of a illness and we had no money to treat her. In A city, I worked as a maid in the Zhu's Mansion along with other maids. The Zhu's were considered to the richest family in M Nation. I felt I was lucky to work among this prominent family. My life has been miserable through out these years and it was luck that made me work in the Zhu's Mansion.
I heard the First Master was back and the whole M Nationals was jubilation. I wondered who really was that person. I'm not really familiar with the business news. So I didn't know much about him. I only knew the President of M Nation, President Zhu and his wife.
In the maids's quarter
I looked outside through the window, I saw bodyguards with different uniform which was confusing to tell who belongs to who. A black Lamborghini was parked as few competent bodyguards in formal black surrounded the black car making it look grand.
I heard the quick footsteps of the Headmaid, Fang Han. Quickly, i dashed back to her work. Fang Han passed by like i was made invisible, then stopped abruptly as if she remembered something. She walked towards me like a animal launching at his prey.
"You are not allowed to move recklessly because there's a special visitor and that implies to other maids"
"Hmph! You could tell other maids too" I scoffed, inwardly.
Fang Han gave me a scornful look like she read my thoughts. I looked down frantically, trying not to see her meaningful gaze.
Soon she left me as I sighed in relief. I was the youngest maid in the Zhu's Mansion, every other maid loved bullying me and there was nothing I could do. I was never given the privilege to go near Madam Zhu, so I couldn't tell anyone. I was only saved when Grandpa Zhu and Zhu Zichen was around.
I remember some things I had to do before the Headmaid keep bugging me.
As I arranged few things I heard the gossips of other maids. My mind drifted to the Headmaid earlier words
"They disobeyed the rules but she is not here to scold them like she does to me, this is impartial! her daughter is there any way she can't scold her"
I silently listen to their loud gossips.
"First Master is back!" Little Fan said.
"No way! How come I never heard about it!" Fang Hou, the Headmaid daughter said.
"Yes! He is here!" Song Li said
"This cause for celebration!" Fang Hou said.
"After so many years! I really miss his handsome face"
"It's a pity we can't adore his face anymore because I found out that he had another fiancée and the worst part is that they are married"
Fang Hou face turned sour and bitter as she smiled dryly to hide her feeling.
"He can't be stolen from us so easily!" Song Li said faking a sniff.
"He is such a workaholic! After so many years"
"Look who you are talking about so casually, if he had heard, just forget about living!" Butler Yang said. He was passing by when his ears caught the First Master name. So he decided to listen to their gossips.
The maids shuddered in fright after realizing who they were talking casually about, it was the future president of M Nation. Soon he will leave his position as the CEO of Zhu's Enterprise and become the president of M Nation. Fang Hou stood proudly with her head up high like she was not afraid of anything, since her mother was the Headmaid. The Headmaid and the butler were put in charge to control other servants with lower ranks.
"W-w-we are sorry!"
"Hmph! That's not enough!"
"What can we do to redeem our mistakes?" Song Li and Little Fan said simultaneously with their heads bowed.
"You will receive severe punishment because you disobeyed the rules, you are also part of them Fang Hou!"
"Don't you dare touch me!" She yelled.
"If you don't want me to report to First Master, follow me!" He threatened. Fang Hou knew that he could do it and it won't be a nice idea to greet him with reports of breaking the rules. She could only curse him inwardly and accept her punishment. Everyone knew how Butler Yang was strict and harsh, he only doted Xiu Xiao.The maids accepted the punishment reluctantly, it was better than Zhu Jingyi punishment. They were to receive fourty lashes from a skilled female guards and work without resting through out a week.
I was happy that Butler Yang didn't act impartial even if Fang Hou was the Headmaid daughter. It is a great lesson for people like them, maybe next time they would stop backbiting. I wasn't bothered with them anyway.
I was done with my work, then I remembered that I wanted to see this mysterious Zhu Jingyi. I stood by the window and watched the formidable scene. I was lucky that they still haven't left.
This time formidable men in formal black with the Zhu's white logo at the left side arranged in two rows without any form of disorder. A dazzling young man in his early thirties came out of the car swiftly. His black raven hair glossed against the sun. His black leathery Italian shoes sparkled that no sign of dust could be found. His black tux made him look manly and business-like. Without looking at his face, one could guess that he was handsome.
I sighed in awe and admiration. The rich really knew how to enjoy themselves. Looking at his tall infallible figure, he looked really really familiar like someone i had known for a long time ago. Looking at him made me remember that I missed someone. Who could he be? Why does I feel that he is someone familiar? I have never come across someone like this. I looked forward to know him more.
