Chapter 31 - The Cunning Servant
After Bryan's wedding to Angeline, a new maid enters Bryan's house. The new maid is named Kayle, a girl in her twenties with a beautiful face. Kayle, who has no parents and lives alone, works as a domestic helper to make ends meet.
He used to work in a rich man's house and was always cunning. Whether it was stealing or teasing the master. Because of this, Kayle was always fired within two months. However, because of her beautiful face and good skills. The owner of ART Distribution Foundation did not fire him and still employs him.
The first time Kayle met Bryan was when Bryan came home from his honeymoon with Angeline. Kayle brought new clothes to Bryan's room and was surprised because Bryan and Angeline had separate rooms.
"Thank you," Bryan said as he received a change of clothes from Kayle.
Kayle was surprised because it was the first time her host had ever thanked her for her work. A shocked Kayle was still standing in Bryan's room and made Bryan call her.
"Hey, what are you still doing here?" Bryan asked, pulling Kayle out of her shock.
"Ah, I'm sorry sir, I'm just late because this is the first time anyone has thanked me," Kayle said with a sweet smile. He dared to lift his face and look at Bryan who was staring at him sharply.
"Don't take it the wrong way and get back to work," Bryan said coldly.
"I'm sorry, sir," Kayle said, realizing she had crossed the line. From there, Kayle felt annoyed because he obviously just misunderstood.
Especially when Kayle saw Bryan's cold attitude towards Angeline, it made Kayle realize something. Not only do they have separate rooms, but there is no love between them. Bryan treats Angeline the same way Bryan treats him. This means that there is an understanding between them that many people don't know about.
Kayle started to get curious about Angeline, he tried to find out who Angeline really was. While cleaning Angeline's room, Angeline, who was taking a shower, gave Kayle the opportunity to search Angeline's room and look for information.
Kayle carefully checked Angeline's bag, which was on the table. He took out all the contents of the bag. But there wasn't much in the bag. Nothing important except Angeline's cell phone and wallet.
Kayle opened Angeline's locked cell phone and Kayle couldn't open it. Kayle also checked Angeline's wallet. There were only two cards, Angeline's ID and the black card that Bryan had given her. Kayle was angry because Angeline had been too careful. He put the contents of Angeline's bag back and arranged them on the table.
Kayle tried to check the dressing table, she opened the drawer and looked inside. She looked around the makeup kit but found nothing. Kayle cleaned Angeline's bed, which looked neat.
Unlike most young ladies, Angeline was too neat and clean even before the maids cleaned her room. And Kayle found another dead end. Looking toward the bathroom and feeling that Angeline still had a long way to go, Kayle worked up the courage to check Angeline's closet.
Opening it, Kayle saw only expensive clothes and brand names that only rich people had. However, Kayle knew that the clothes looked new and hadn't been worn at all. But again, Kayle didn't find anything.
"What are you doing?" asked Angeline, who had finished showering and came out wearing only a towel. She stared suspiciously at Kayle who immediately closed the closet door nervously.
"Madam, I... am tidying up Madam's room," Kayle replied nervously.
"Don't you know I forbid anyone to come in here? I can clean my own room," Angeline said angrily.
Kayle felt nervous and looked uncomfortable, Angeline sensed something Kayle was doing and was very suspicious.
"What are you doing here?" said the aunt who suddenly came in and pulled Kayle close.
"Madam, forgive me for not training you properly. He's only been working here for three days. I apologize for my impertinence," said the aunt, who was the butler of the house.
"Yes, yes, but don't do it again. Auntie, you know Bryan doesn't like people coming into my room," Angeline said, giving him a chance and not making a big deal out of it.
"Okay madam, I will prepare dinner. Come on, let's go downstairs."
Kayle looked at Angeline who was still looking at her with suspicious eyes. Kayle lowered her head, feeling uncomfortable. Then follow Auntie.
PLAK!
Auntie slapped Kayle hard across the face when the two of them were already in the kitchen, startling all the maids who were there.
"So far, I'm the only one who works here. Cleaning the whole house and cooking for Mr. Bryan. Why is that? Because it's possible that the other maids who work here might do something as naughty as you did! Do you want to be fired?" The aunt scolded and threatened Kayle.
All the servants looked at him in anger, their positions threatened because of the mistakes Kayle had made by impudently disrupting the security of this house.
"I'm sorry, I didn't know, and I promise I won't make the same mistake again," Kayle said, looking down. He held back his anger and promised to make Angeline regret it.
Yes, Kayle really hates Angeline for putting her in a threatening position. Just for coming into his room. How could a servant be threatened with being fired like that? What secret has Angeline been hiding until all the maids are forbidden to enter her room?
Even Bryan was part of this arrangement. Absolutely suspicious and made Kayle even more excited to find out.
"Get back to work and don't do it again. If you do anything wrong again, I will not hesitate to fire you and not just you. But all the maids are here. Because I can't trust maids who come from the same base. So you have one more task, remind each other and watch over anyone who has done something wrong.
"Okay, butler," everyone said with restrained annoyance at Kayle.
After everyone finished preparing dinner, Kayle, who was in the maid's room, was slapped by another maid.
"Heh! Are you crazy? How dare you enter Madam's room?" asked Amber, ordering her friends to hold Kayle's hands.
Amber slapped Kayle hard on the cheek several times while all the maids watched happily.
"Listen, it is really hard to work here. They have high standards and strict selection. You're lucky Mrs. Angeline forgave you, but if you do it again. Not only will you be fired, but I will make sure you never work in this area again," Amber threatened.
The maids also took turns hitting Kayle to make her forget her feelings. This left Kayle with bruises all over her body. Kayle, who has no friends, vows to get revenge on Angeline.
