Master Brian’s maid

Jane took the tea bag and returned to the kitchen, now that Chef Seger had finished cooking a list of breakfast items his masters joined with the other cooks, while the servants took change-over picking them up and putting them on their serving trays. They all act in an orderly and careful manner, following the procedures of the kitchen for chefs and servants.

The young girl saw that and hurried to her tea stall to finish the unfinished tea making. At this moment, Tess brought food to Chesa while watching Jane enter the kitchen with curious eyes, she suddenly asked:

“Where have you been for so long? Aren’t you afraid of being punished for being late?”

Jane awkwardly replied:

“I had a stomach ache so I went to the bathroom, which took a lot of my time.”

Tess smiled and continued:

“Yes, then do it quickly, or you don’t want to be punished.”

Jane nodded at Tess, who hurriedly boiled the tea and poured it into a cup. Then place them in a separate tray and carefully lift them. Jane hurried to the back of Brian’s room, where there was a large dining table in the garden that needed her quick cleaning.

She entered Brian’s room and noticed that he was long awake, she hurriedly placed the tea tray on a table near the bed and walked over to him, gently helping him to the bathroom. Brian saw that Jane was in a hurry when seeing him wake up early and said:

“Slowly, slowly. You don’t have to be in such a hurry.”NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

Jane didn’t say anything but just nodded slightly, she slowly helped him into the bathroom to clean himself. While he was being held by Jane, Brian playfully hugged Jane, making her quite shy and dodging. He kindly asked Jane:

“Does the neck wound still hurt?”

Jane coldly replied:

“No, my lord. I’m fine, you should go to the bathroom to wash up and clean up. In about forty-five minutes, Mr. Perry will be here for breakfast.”

Brian smiled at Jane and said:

“Ah, my uncle. I forgot he was coming to visit me today. Then I will listen to you, obediently and prepare.”

She helped him into the bathroom to let him clean himself, and as for Jane, she would take advantage of that time to run out into the yard, clean the large dining table and decorate them so beautifully with utensils such as tablecloths, vases, plates, knives and forks, etc.

But something doesn’t seem right here, Mrs. Bonie should leave this job to someone else? Because she had never trained it, how could Jane know and set it up. She was about to run to find Mrs. Bonie and ask about the table decoration, but she was afraid time would not be lost, as at this moment, she still had to wait for Brian to come out of the bathroom and change his clothes.

Jane saw everything unfold before her eyes, she took a deep breath and encouraged herself that she could do it well. Jane look over at Mr. Wibul’s dining table while playing Brian’s game? It also looks quite simple with a vase of flowers placed in the middle of the table, and napkins, plates, knives and forks placed according to the number of people eating.

This breakfast is for two people so it’s not too difficult for Jane, she will arrange them according to all she can see and follow. First, Jane will put the vase in the middle of the table, she hastened to pick the flowers that grow nearby, put them in the vase. In the next step, as she observed and remembered, the fork was placed on a white paper towel and then the knife and fork were placed next to it. Next were the extra items, Jane was a little confused, so she arbitrarily put them aside, at another small table on the left in the yard.

Jane looked at her watch and realized that twenty-five minutes had passed, and she ran to help him out of the bathroom even though he called Jane twice. Brian confused, he suddenly asked:

“Where did you run off to? Why don’t you wait for me outside.”

Before she could answer, Mr. Perry arrived. He had arrived earlier than planned, he must have slept well last night in Lawrence that this morning Perry was in such a good mood. He was dressed quite simply with a yellow shirt and dark brown jeans, Perry was an aristocratic middle-aged man with an elegant appearance, he was the cousin of Sir Aiden, Brian’s father.

Perry entered the room and saw Brian still undressed, he walked over and hugged him and happily said:

“Brian, I came to visit you. How is the wound on your leg? Are they getting better?”

Brian smiled mischievously and replied:

“I’m fine, Perry. I am no longer a child who needs your attention.”

Perry laughed wryly and said:

“Really? But in my eyes, Brian is still an unruly boy who loves the attention of others.”

Brian gave a small smile without saying anything, he implicitly motioned for Jane to invite Perry to tea brought by her. Jane obeys and invites Perry to the courtyard to enjoy tea. When he just came out to the yard to sit at the dining table, Perry was amazed at Jane’s unique and new layout. He was about to ask, but then stopped, he found a magazine that Jane had placed on the next table and picked it up to read while he waited for Brian to change.

Perry seemed like a pleasant and approachable person, and Jane felt a little relieved, at least not as grumpy and rude as Brian was, she was happy. Jane didn’t want to waste her time, she went back inside to change Brian’s clothes. Today, since she entered the room, Brian felt that Jane was a little strange because her haste and urgency was not the same as yesterday. The truth is, did she hide anything from him? Or because Brian is too sensitive to everything and thinks about it. So while changing, Brian looked at her questioningly:

“You look a little strange today. You’re doing everything in a hurry, Did something happen?”

Jane shook her head and replied:

“No, master. It’s just that I have to handle several things at once, so I’m not used to it.”

Brian heard that, looked around and then asked in surprise:

“Didn’t Mrs. Bonie assign another person to help you prepare breakfast in this morning?”

Jane said nothing, Brian understood that and was a little annoyed, he said:

“Okay, I have my way. Serving breakfast to guests inherently requires two or more servants. Bonie let you do it all, she made a mistake and needs to be warned.”

She didn’t want something like the previous one to happen when Jane saw Bonie’s angry, vengeful eyes looking at her from her master’s room. Jane has been greatly hated by Bonie since that time, if it happens again now, she is afraid that the relationship between Jane and Bonie will get worse and worse, because she originally hated Jane, now more and more hate her more. Well, Jane will have a hard time living with Bonie in this mansion. That’s why Jane hastily stopped Brian, she said:

“Everything is fine, I have almost finished the work anyway. Nothing unfortunate happened. Master shouldn’t make a big deal out of this and proceed to punish her.”

Brian hummed softly, he said temporarily to reassure Jane:

“You don’t need to worry about it. I have my own way of handling it.”

Jane helped Brian up, she led him out into the yard to sit at the dining table, where Mr. Perry was reading the newspaper. When he saw Brian coming, Perry gave Jane a helping hand. Brian looked at the arrangement of the table, he chuckled lightly and didn’t say anything. Jane quickly brought the tea tray outside, she noticed that the tea was cold, so she hurriedly asked the owner’s permission to let her go down to the kitchen to change a new one.

Brian quietly watched his maid with attentive eyes, he said nothing, slowly motioned her to retreat to the kitchen. Jane quickly went to the kitchen to change the tea, she saw that the breakfast dishes of the master and Mr. Perry had been prepared, but they were still there and not served by any servants. Could it be that Bonie forgot to assign someone to help Jane? The answer behind it is that Bonie did it on purpose so that Jane had to work alone without any help from others.

Even though Bonie knows it’s not right, it will get her punished. But Bonie was not afraid, but thoughtlessly considered it normal because this is how Bonie raised Jane in this mansion. Minutes later, after Jane had changed the teapot for her owner’s breakfast, she was wondering what to do with the food, load it up all at once with the handy food cart, or place it on a tray at a time, the order in which the breakfast items appear to create more appeal.
