Chapter 4 Poor Nandini 3

Byurrr

A bucket of water slid freely down the fragile body. The girl who was still asleep in her dreams was forcibly pulled into reality. She blinked her eyes that were stinging and also her nose that was hurting from the water. Uhuk uhuk uhuk He coughed, feeling the pain and tightness in his chest. While trying to neutralise his vision, he continued to beat his sore chest.

"Wake up!" a cold baritone voice greeted Nandini's sense of hearing.

The girl tried to focus her gaze. Her hazel-coloured eyeballs bulged when she saw the silhouette of a man standing next to her.

"Ah, s--sorry I woke up late," Nandini stuttered and was frightened when she saw those piercing eyes staring at her like a hawk about to catch its prey.

Xavier stared coldly at the little girl before him. Then he glanced at the butler. The middle-aged man understood and he approached the girl who was still faithfully bowing her head.

"I'm sorry, Miss can change your clothes into the maid uniform in this house," said the middle-aged man.

Deg!

Nandini's chest instantly tightened and ached. What did her husband mean, telling her to change into a maid's uniform in that luxurious mansion. Even though her status was clear. That is the wife of a Xavier Romanov.

The girl also dared to look into those sharp eyes. A very cold face with no smile at all on his lips. Nandini continued to stare as if she was asking through her eyes 'What is the point of all this!'.

"You take care of him. And deliver her to me in less than ten minutes," Xavier said and walked away without listening to the servants' responses.

The middle-aged man looked at a woman who was probably around 45 years old. And asked her to help Nandini change her wet clothes. As a result of being splashed by Xavier.

"Take care of her, remember in ten minutes, she must be ready to face Master," he said flatly even though he was actually saddened by his employer's treatment of the girl. Then he left the warehouse where Nandini lived.

The middle-aged woman nodded and walked over to Nandini who was still staring at the slowly closing door. She stared at the back that passed before her.

"O God is this the way of my life, why don't you allow me to live a happy life. After getting out of Mum's torment now I'm entering a life that I don't want at all," Nandini chimed in.

"Come Miss, let me help you remove your wedding dress," he said softly.

Nandini nodded and moved towards the bathroom with the woman. Her mind wandered far away, her vision blank.

"Come on Miss, we only have a short time left, don't make the young master angry, if he gets angry, everyone in this house will be sprayed," the middle-aged woman said as she unzipped the zipper right at the back.

Eight minutes had passed, now Nandini was ready with her clothes. She looked at herself in the mirror. And smiled wryly.

"Poor you," she said to herself in self-pity. Suddenly the woman approached, "Miss,hurry, there are only two minutes left," said the middle-aged woman frantically.

She grabbed Nandini's hand and even seemed to displace the small body. Nandini had to adjust her footsteps. The shuffling walk did not stop the middle-aged woman. Now both of them had arrived in the presence of the host.

"Ten minutes and thirty seconds," he said flatly while staring at the fancy clock in his hand. The middle-aged woman looked down in fear, "S-sorry sir, there was a little incident in the bathroom," she lied to save herself and the girl whose hand she was still holding.

Yes, the woman would rather lie than get angry with the others. Xavier shook his hand, now it was just Xavier, Nandini and the butler. Who were equally flat as the employer.

"Explain her duties in this house," Xavier said. The butler nodded and read the duty points for Nandini.

* Must wake up early at least 4.00 am.

* Take care of all Young Master's needs.

* Clean up the main room.

* Must not be lazy.

* Resting is allowed only when Young Master is not in the Mansion.

* Not allowed to enter the room at the far end, if you deliberately enter it, you will be punished. * Not allowed to go to bed first if Young Master has not returned.

* Sleep in the back pavilion storeroom.

Deg!

The last point made Nandini grimace. She didn't want to have to sleep in a dark, stuffy shed. Nandini was traumatised, yes she was traumatised by the darkness.

"S-sorry, c-can the last point be changed? I don't mind doing all the work here, but... Can you change the last point? I don't mind sleeping in a cramped room, but if... In the warehouse I can't," Nandini said quietly. The butler glanced at his master, looking angry. Because this was the first time anyone dared to contradict her.

Brakk

The glass table in front of Xavier immediately floated because it was kicked by him. He stared at the standing girl, the glass scattered and some of the shards even hit Nandini's feet. The girl winced slightly, feeling the pain in her leg. "Who are you huh? Who are you? How dare you go against my orders!" the voice boomed as if it broke the eardrums of everyone who heard it. Nandini looked down in fear, her hands twisting the cloth that clung to her frail body. Xavier stood up and approached Nandini. He looked down at the girl who was his wife. Retrieved "Aww,"
