Embrace Of The Lucifer

Chapter 7



Chapter 7

August.

Martha told me that Mr. & Mrs. Knight were coming back from their business trip. She was going to

introduce me to them. I’m very anxious. Martha told me that I had to behave as best as I could. I

quickly went to washed my hands and clean myself. I looked like a mess!

“August! Where are you?” Martha yelled. I quickly ran towards her. “There you are. Come on you have

to be quick. Master and Mrs. Knight are coming and if we don’t welcome them properly, they will get © NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

angry” she said in a quick pace. I nodded my head and followed her to the living room. As I reached the

living room, I saw a lady sitting on the sofa while a man who looked like he was his late 50′s was sitting

beside her, discussing something with her. I stood behind Martha feeling nervous.

“Hello Mr. & Mrs. Knight, I’m happy you could make it here safely” I heard Martha said softly to them.

“Hello Martha, how has the house been. We didn’t have time to call you since the moment we left” the

lady said. I saw from the corner of my eyes; Mrs. Knight was smiling at Martha while Mr. Knight was

busy on his phone.

“Who’s this behind you Martha?” she asked. I froze in my spot and gulped. I was very nervous and

petrified.

“Oh, ma’am this is August. she is the new maid here. I had told you about her employment” Martha

said. She moved aside so that Mrs. Knight could see me. My face had turned red as I took a step

forward, looking down.

“H-hello ma’am, hello S-Sir” damn my stuttering.

“Hello dear, how are you doing?” she asked me with a heart-warming smile which I returned gladly. “I-

I’m good” I replied quietly.

“Well. I don’t like people who stutter like a loser” Mr. Knight spoke up. I gulped in fear. He didn’t like my

stuttering.

“I’m sorry Sir” I replied and was happy that I didn’t stutter that time. He just gave me a cold stare and

nodded his head while Mrs. Knight gave me a sad smile. “You both should get back to work and Martha

please cancel all the calls and meetings. We’re very tired and want to rest for a few hours and at

exactly 8pm I want our dinner ready” she said smiling and walked away with her husband. I sighed

deeply. I could not do anything without messing it up.

“It’s okay honey. You don’t have to be sad. Master has been like this since forever. Don’t be sad just

make sure you behave properly in front of him next time.” she said patting my shoulder.

“A-and how is Mrs. Knight?” I asked following her towards the kitchen.

“She is a very nice woman with a very welcoming nature. She is always nice to all of us no matter what.

She has never been arrogant and treats us very well” she replied. I see, ma’am is actually a very nice

woman.

“So, all of their children are like their dad?” I asked.

She paused what she was doing and turned around “Master Lucifer is the exact copy of his father, they

both are the same. Ignorant and cold-hearted. And as well as Hazel and Nathan. They both are

arrogant and rich brats who care for none.” Nathan must be the one who was at the dining table when I

dropped the glass full of water on Miss Hazel on my very first day.

“Except for one” she said all of a sudden snapping me out of my thoughts. “Who?” I questioned.

“Ebenezer. He is just like Mrs. Knight more like a shadow of her. He’s kind hearted just like his mom

and the second child of the Knight family after that Nathan and Hazel were born. I remember when I

first entered in this house. I was just 25 years old. Ma’am helped me with so many things and Ebenezer

treated me like his second mother. He is a true example of a gentleman.” I stayed silent listening to her

blabbering. Is he really that good?

She chuckled at my awkwardness. “I’m sorry dear but I cannot stop myself from talking something

good about him and guess what! He’s coming next week” She said with a toothy grin. I laughed at her

childish behaviour but immediately stopped when I felt someone watching me. I tilted my head and saw

master standing by the kitchen door staring at me. My eyes widen in fear as his menacing stare met

mine. His eyes were not holding the coldness like before, instead of that they were soft. My heart beat

escalated as I kept staring at his beautiful eyes that held some emotion that I was not able to

understand.

His eyes departed the softness and welcomed the coldness as he noticed me staring at him too. With

one last glance he left the kitchen and went upstairs. What was that? Was he bipolar or something? I

shrugged my thoughts and started doing my work alongside the other girls. Master’s birthday was day

after tomorrow so we all had to work hard and I guess we wouldn’t get much sleep.

Lucifer’s P.O.V I could not stop myself from looking at her. Her beautiful face brightened as she smiled.

A small smile formed in my face and my eyes softened at the view. Her eyes were the only thing I could

look at for my peace. My eyes softened as I stared at her beautiful face and she suddenly stopped

laughing. Why did she stop? She turned around and her beautiful eyes met mine. Her eyes were wide

in shock. I didn’t remove my eyes from her. She was also staring back at me that melt my heart even

more. I was shocked. When did I become so vulnerable? When did my eyes start to look soft instead of

their usual cold look? I clenched my teeth.

My stare become cold as it was before when I noticed I was staring at her for a quite long time. Her

face indicated confusion as I began to go upstairs to my room completely ignoring everyone. When I

reached my room, I opened the door and went inside throwing my coat on the sofa. I laid down in my

bed and closed my eyes. I was very tired today and I didn’t want to do anything but sleep.

A loud knock woke me up from my sleep. I groaned in annoyance. “Come in” I growled.

“Well, that’s not very polite of you my son” I heard my mom said and enter in my room. I smiled at her.

“I never knew you were coming today mom” I mumbled.

“It happened all of a sudden we didn’t have time to inform dear” she said and sat beside me.

“How have you been Lucifer?” she asked me.

“I have been fine just very tired because of my work” I replied.

“You dad also came with me and I would like you to see him” well I didn’t really had a good relationship

with my dad. I just nodded my head to make her happy she doesn’t like when I said bad things about

dad.

“I see you have handled the house really nicely and the new maid is pretty quiet and nice” I looked at

her in confusion. Who is she talking about? “That young one?” I asked.

“Yes, and I guess her name is...” she narrowed her eyes to remember.

“Oh yes, August, she is very nice and young. Martha introduced her to me and your father but as

always your father had to be rude to everyone” she said and rolled her eyes. I clenched my fists. He

was rude to her?

“What did he say mom?” I asked trying to control my anger.

“He just told her that he doesn’t like any clumsy worker who stutters a lot”

“But don’t worry dear I will make sure he is not rude to anyone anymore” she assured me. I smiled and

hugged her while she kissed my head. She still treated me like a kid.

“Okay mom” I said and smiled. She smiled back and left the room.
