Master Brian’s maid

Since the day Jane was guided and taught to cook by Ramha, Jane’s cooking skills have also improved more than before. Now she can cook simple and delicious dishes for Brian. This made Brian feel a little happier because he didn’t have to worry about Jane cooking anymore. But anyway, the fact that Jane does two jobs at the same time, is also somewhat harder and harder than before, that’s why Brian sent Ramha to become the main chef in the second kitchen, on the side of Allen’s lack of butler, Brian also recruited two more people to make up for him.

So from now on, Jane can rest her hands for a while, she sometimes only goes to the kitchen to cook when ordered by her master Brian, and her main job is to take care of and serve Brian. Typically today, Jane will have to take Brian for a thirty-minute walk with light exercise. According to the doctor’s orders, Brian needs to be more active so that his leg can recover quickly. But there are still times when he gets tired and becomes lazy, such as now, when he has only practiced for about twenty minutes, Brian feels tired and sits down for a bit. Jane approached and said:

“Sir, we should be gone in about ten minutes, so that’s exactly the thirty-minute break the doctor ordered.”

Brian replied nonchalantly:

“Oh, I know. Get me some water.”

She quickly went to get water for him to drink. Brian took the water from Jane’s hand and took a sip. He sat on the bench for a moment, looked out at the garden, and then got up, struggling with his walking stick, slowly dragging his feet. Jane helps Brian, he takes one step, she takes another, he goes slow, she goes slow, she depends on his every move. Brian holds a cane in one hand, grabs her arm in the other, being guided step by step, if he wants to learn to walk alone, he will fight the wall, and at times like this, he practices with Jane.

At this moment, Jane also thought to take revenge on Brian by letting go of his arm, she wanted him to fall to the ground to taste her pain. But looking at his one-legged gait, she didn’t heartlessly respond to him like that. Jane is really a girl with a kind and kind heart, she always thinks and worries about others, doesn’t care about herself. That will make her more vulnerable to bullying and more disadvantaged by others.

And at times like that, Brian grabbed her arm even more tightly, not because he was afraid of falling, but he was afraid that she would play a game of letting go of his hand to take revenge on a bastard like him for hurting her many times. Brian knew what Jane was thinking as he observed her attitude and gaze. But Brian could not depend on Jane forever, at some point, he had to let go of her and walk on his own two feet. And he meant to try it right now, Brian slowly let go of her hand and said:

“Jane, I want to try going alone for a bit.”

Jane was a little worried and asked again:

“Are you sure it’s okay?”

Brian nodded firmly.

“It will be fine, let go of my hand.”

Jane obeyed, she let go of his hand slowly, Brian struggled with his cane and lifted his heavy footsteps. He walked a few steps, but his legs were not steady, but not to the point of falling. Jane panicked and ran to catch him, but Brian tried to keep his balance, he waved his hand to refuse her help. Jane looked sadly after Brian. He walked in front, she went behind, Jane had to keep an eye on him in case he couldn’t walk anymore, she would catch him.

He walked with difficulty on his own two feet. Brian was walking around the garden and suddenly stopped at a fragrant flower bush, he picked a yellow flower and walked slowly towards Jane. Jane didn’t want him to be tired from having to go far, so she took the initiative to go in his direction. When the two of them were face to face, close to each other, he gently took the flower he had picked and carefully pinned her name in her hair. She looked at him slightly surprised by his actions while her heart suddenly became fluttered and indescribably happy.

She touched the flower she had just pinned in her hair with her hand and smiled slightly. Brian looked at her without saying anything, he just smiled secretly, kissed her forehead, making Jane feel a little confused. He looked at Jane’s face and smiled, gently clung to her arm and asked:

“Hey girl, is that enough thirty minutes? Can I take a break now?”

Jane smiled lightly and replied:

“Yes, let me get you some tea and cake for your rest.”

After the rest period is the time to practice the exercises given by the doctor, Jane helps Brian practice it and guides and supports him during the exercise, sometimes he is a bit tired and wants to stop but because he wants to get good results, You have to be more patient and diligent.

Just like that, the morning atmosphere passed quite smoothly when Brian did not try to play tricks or make it difficult for Jane, perhaps Brian wanted his leg to recover quickly, so he obediently listened to Jane’s words and practiced therapeutic exercises. But by noon there was something a little weirder than usual in the mansion as Jane went to get her supplies and heard Piper hurry to the servants’ meeting place. Jane held Piper back and asked:

“Hey, why are you walking so fast?”

Piper’s quick reply:

“Mr. Wibul called for the servants to gather for the police to investigate.”

Jane asked in surprise:

“Did something unusual happen at the mansion?”

Piper shook her head, adding:

“I do not know. I think they just misunderstood something.”

Jane took a tea bag Brian asked her to bring from the barn, and asked Piper:

“Mr Wibul called all the servants? Shall I go, then?”

Piper pulled Jane’s hand, scolding:

“Of course yes. Aren’t you a servant?”

Jane nodded to follow Piper, and a few minutes later they were both in the hall with the other servants. Sir Wibul looked at all the servants present and asked the butler Allen:

“Have they come enough yet?”

Allen watched and counted again, he politely said:

“Yes sir.”

He leaned close to Wibul’s ear and whispered:

“Do you need to send young masters Matthew and Brian over?”

Wibul replied slowly:

“Do not need. The police only want to see my servants, and for them, you don’t need to call to avoid disturbing them.”

Butler Allen heard that and lowered his head, Wibul let the police do their thing, the policemen split up and asked the servants for information they were investigating. Perhaps they only kept the old servants of Mr. Wibul in the mansion, while the new and less than 5 years servants like Jane were all sent home early. Jane was confused, she took the tea bag and went to Brian’s room without stopping to think:

“How are things? Are they looking for someone?”

Because she was so absorbed in thought, Jane did not know when she had returned to her room, when she entered, she immediately met Brian sitting in the living room waiting for her. Brian curiously asked:

“Jane, do you need a lot of time to get a tea bag?”

Jane awkwardly replied:

“No, it’s not. It’s just that the servants and I were called by Mr. Wibul to the assembly hall to have the police ask a few things.”

Brian asked in surprise:

“Police? What did they ask?”

Jane replied slowly:

“At the beginning, they asked me who was a servant under whose management and how many years I had worked here. I replied that I was new, a servant of master Brian, worked here for a few weeks, after they heard about it, they stopped asking and let me go. And the other new servants too, they didn’t ask much but focused on asking the servants who worked for a long time in the mansion.”

Brian heard her words, thought about something and asked Jane:

“Is that all?”

Jane nodded.

“Yes”

Brian asked in surprise:

“This is a good opportunity for you to report me to the police. Why don’t you do that?”

Jane pursed her lips and reproached:

“I wanted to do it too, but before I could say anything, I was threatened by the butler Allen, who warned me that it would be best not to say anything more to the police, especially about Brian, or else he would use The fruit knife cut my throat so I couldn’t continue.”

Brian laughed, saying with satisfaction:

“Allen is truly the best housekeeper I have ever had, dealing quickly and understanding his master.”Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

Jane snorted with annoyance, she wanted to slap Brian on the cheek to vent her anger because at this moment his face was extremely hateful and even more helpless when he couldn’t leave this place again. Brian saw Jane’s angry face and couldn’t help laughing, he chuckled and teased her:

“Anger women are not good, they will age faster and uglier. Especially silly girls, they are the ones who get angry the most.”

Hearing that, Jane became even more sulky, she turned and left the kitchen to leave Brian alone. Jane thought to herself:

“Today I’ll put salt in the tea so you can choke on it.”

But Jane’s plan failed, Brian made her drink the tea she made first, the poor girl choked and was forced to make another cup of tea by her master. This time she was also asked to try first, he drank normally and asked her to squeeze his feet. Jane was still angry, so she didn’t say anything, she quietly squeezed his feet, only he was constantly thinking about the police coming here. Brian wondered to himself:

“The police want to find someone in the mansion? Longtime servant? Looks like I have to go see Wibul and ask my grandfather something.”
