Chapter 6

“I… I haven’t, Flora. Sorry! I was busy with-“

“Oh dear..” she snatched the mop and the wipes from my hand and throw them somewhere!

“Don’t mind the work here! You must study first! Go now! I know you can make it! Go, Ava! ” she’s chanting while pushing me back into my room.

Oh, God!

I saw the butler laugh because of Flora’s kiddy side!?

She opened my room and pushed me inside.

When I looked at her, she was raising her brows already! I don’t know what to feel coz’ I find this funny!

Oh, Flora!?

"Make it perfect! Remember, your future depends on that. Focus, Ava. Focus!" the door slammed as she closed it.

I was left gaping.

I closed my eyes.

Yes. I should focus on my study. I know I have no experience studying before, but these modules would help me.

I suddenly remembered Wena.

How is she anyway? Never mind, when I passed this special exam, I will visit her where we used to live.

I spent some time inside my room studying my modules. I know Flora hasn’t gotten me a teacher for this yet because she wants to see my determination, and I will show that to her.

I don't seem to be used to studying in my room so I have decided to study on the beach side. There are many sun loungers there so it’s perfect for me.?

I brought there a few of my papers and modules. It was a bit far from the cottages. It's more fresh and peaceful here.

Perfect!

Before I returned to study I took from my uniform the lip tint I had seen in my room earlier. Hmm, I like to try this. I have never used it like this before.

I put some on my lips and smiled.

I've been studying for a few minutes, and it's good that I understand it somehow. I saw the beautiful sunset on my front.

I was about to leave to enter the mansion when someone speak next to me.

"How is your studying?"

I'm surprised!

I sparingly smiled at Rio and stared at the papers I had answered. I hid it so he wouldn't see.

It’s embarrassing! I’m not comfortable with my answers, and he might see how awful it is!?

He shot up his brows when he saw what I did. I bit my lip.

“G-Good afternoon sir. Uhm, A bit difficult, but I will learn soon.”

While I was saying that, he was looking into my lips. I was suddenly conscious of my face.

“I can help you learn. But first, what’s that thing on your lips?

He was standing in front of me. He was tall and muscular. He has the same body as Jagger, and there is no denying that this one is also a playboy. He has this playful mock on his face.

I swallowed!

“Uhh, lip tint?

I was surprised when he bent down and put his hands around me! He caged me on the sun lounger!

“S-Sir..” I stuttered.

“Shhhh..let me see.” He touched my chin so he could see my lips.

What the heck?

Then.. he gave me a peck on my lips! Yes! On my lips! I pushed him when he did that!?

“Sir! What are you doing?!” I touch my lips.

He smirked. “Just want to know what the flavor is.”

My jaw dropped from what he said. I closed my eyes tightly, and get all my things, and ran my way to the mansion!

I tried to forget that incident. I also can’t tell Flora what her sons do to me.

In the evening, the food prepared by the maids on the table was grand.

"Windy, why there is so much food?" I asked my fellow maid.

We arrange plates on the long table.

"Flora has guests coming tonight!"

"Ahhh, okay!

Everyone was busy! We prepared delicious food and cleaned the mansion's grand hall to welcome Flora’s visitors.

When the butler announced the arrival of the visitors we are already ourselves.?

“Line up everyone! Make sure you will serve the best foods for the visitors! They are one of the richest families here!” the butler said to us.

We all nodded, together.

I saw Jagger with his dashing black suit. He’s so intimidating! Next to him are Rio and Rome with their serious faces. I will not say how handsome they are!?

And the least, Flora with her dark blue gown. I smiled at her when our eyes met.?

Eventually, a few guests arrived. Windy said the guest is a family and they get along in business.

When we are done serving the wines and desserts after they eat. We lined up on the side and waited for whatever their commands.

"Flora, I never really thought we would become business partners. I wanted to invest with you back then! And I'm happy because you accommodated that now. "said the old woman who was the same age as Flora.

"Yes, Lucia. I didn't even know that Anne was Jagger's girlfriend back then! Your daughter!”

They laughed.

"You know men right now! They are secretive!"

I saw Anne blush. When I stared at Jagger I was shocked that his gaze was on me. I averted my eyes until we heard something breaking! Anne dropped her wine glass on her side!

“Oh my God! I’m sorry!”

“Ava!” The butler command. I was in a hurry to clean the mess.

“It’s okay, dear. Ava will handle that.” Flora said.

They immediately returned to the conversation as I cleaned the few cracked parts on the floor.

I felt something caressing my thigh!

When I looked back, I saw Jagger’s hand caressing my thigh, and that wasn’t obvious to the others because I was under the table!

I pushed his hand, and I heard him say.

"Hot,"

I rolled my eyes at him, and I hold up my middle finger to him in my annoyance!
