"I have a meeting in five. Get the room ready." Andrew showed me the room and that was it. He didn't gave any specific directions or such so I dusted the furnitures and set the chairs accordingly,

Huge air-conditioned room with similar decos like the gallery, if it weren't for the long marquetry table lined with throne chairs, the royal polished floor might also reflect the magnificent chandelier glorifying the ceiling.

Half an hour and Ryan entered followed by many other with similar formal suits, my eyes only praised the Leader.

I poured them all water and wine, just as I was told, all sat quiet.
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokwqqQN2ys
A black and white maid uniform it was, with stockings. My head low yet my eyes took in the ambience.

The older ones with long lush white beards sat across each other beside Ryan who sat like a king on the head chair. The elderly ones lined after them and the younger who looked around Ryan's age was seated opposite to ryan at the end of the table which was really far and was the last one I served, after Done I crossed the distance which measured ranks to stand behind Andrew who was standing behind ryan.

"It's the Dukes who want to purchase our Carronto." The oldest started on a low voice, I bet only reached Ryan's ears.
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFK6UWQ7RYL
"How did they got to convey it to me through you. "Ryan growled lowly too, but there was anger in him,
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYBmvt0IXTk
That oldest strokes his beard clears his throat and turned soft with his approach. "Ryan, He had connections. We got a warning, we'll be prepared. Take it as a good sign." Personally, his words warned me to keep my distance from him. He sounded like a strategists I have to be beware of.
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBSjrn9OCO9
"Gilberto, cut off all the connections with the Dukes, find the breaches to terminate all the contracts we have in corperation with them." Ryan ordered unfazed.
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVuvv7CM9UQ
"Yes, sir." The elder who sat way far answered,
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROZ6MOvJek
"It's a surprise to see a lady working in Blaise Citadel." The oldest man said again, I guess cooling Ryan's temper, I didn't know what to do or what to say so I just stood staring Andrew's back scared. "Just a lowly servant, Repaying parents debts. Nothing worth your sight." Ryan concluded.
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpzcNuo8lV9
"Still." He pressed more the ryan subsided talking about it. "Must be something. I wonder why not officials handled it. There are various punishments and repayment methods. Who gets the direct ticket to serve the royalty?"he made apper to end his suspicion like a joke, laughing goofily others joined him too for the last part, somehow I get that everyone was trying to figure out the same, but only one spokesperson is forced to take the risk, right?
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpa9nk8SPxc
Everyone shut up abruptly, I think ryan must've glared.
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbtZhltBJJJ
Andrew turned to me and whispered, "The baron needs fill up." I furrowed at him. Doesn't he know I don't know these people. I looked beyond him into everyone's glasses to find the empty one with the last person opposite to ryan at the far end table.
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡveMvesiBt5
Even Lowest rank is that influential? Baron?
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtObltwYYsT
I nodded and started for him.
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5fbdSqVwzp
Then I started for him.
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4WJv2ZsFE
I bent and he grabbed my ass cheek. I lost balance, he squeezed it. I stumbled back, the jar in my hand slipped onto his lap. I gasped. My fear reached my throat.
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzD6oEU5fSv
Every head was in our direction, a tear leaked. I was that scared. I felt pressured, Too much.
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQGFsdtdsJq
"What in the hell!? Jesus!!" The Baron stood up glaring at me, he wanted to curse more but under several eyes he chewed his lip shut.
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ20Grw4Aa0V
"What more can a lowly offender be capable of?" One elder taunted.
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo4wXGvPvEC
"Someone take her away! We'll deal with her punishment later." Andrew ordered first. I focused on ryan whose eyes were burning into mine.
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeob3CWxR9w
He masked his features since others had their eyes on him too. "Get Alberto a change of clothes too." Ryan concluded.
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU67amidpnG
I walked out without being dragged away, that'd be humiliating.
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdkpjdWWtT
The baron looked in his early thirties, pretty young after my boss to be here, he looked handsome, he had a tanned glow to add to his charm. Then why would he chose to assault me? A maid of his superior! That is overstepping the boundaries. If it were mafia families meeting, even touching others property would result in their hands getting chopped, there'd be options but this would be the ultimate.
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVWhfmJvhL
But the problem is! What will these people do with me!?
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwj9RrpE4Ud
I don't think anyone is seeing Alberto as a culprit.
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuxbONyU7eM
Will this be my last day?
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9P3wsZYrU4
No one followed me. I should be in my room, my energy drained from all that fear. They looked at me with disgust, some were waiting for a drama.
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRmNn6dsxOK
Instead of resting, I decided to clean the south wind of the castle. It takes two days for complete cleaning of one wind. I better start today itself.
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4JuEnXBAZM
I descended the the stairs to the garden after done. Directly below me was a white wooden pergola with a curved top covered in climbing vines and purple flowers. There was a little gate on the other side of it, leading into the lengthy heated pool area. Two Secret Service agents were standing next it, Around Every corners you'd find atleast two.
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq00aNKR9HP
I wasn't surprised. One must be a fool to live in a castle with no security.
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8ezLEbFXT
I am still not certain what this man do!
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmL3NcN7iB
I saw people in ant sizes who attended the meeting outside the front doors from far end, from behind the tree. One of the old man entered his shiny car two bodyguards followed him, shut his door, one sat in the car behind him and the other guard in the car before him, the cars were of indistinguishable color. I squinted my eyes to find, the vehicle occupied armed forces, in army uniforms. When this chain of cars left the huge driveway circle. Next chain arrived, same pattern was followed, till the last one left. Last one, Andrew.
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3zJ9k4i8e
This is some Governmental organization. bureaucratic officials?
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSt9t1QpBbR
Doesn't that mean I won't be killed!?
They should let go of small mistakes. Right?
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWkfseYpvR
But wasn't the leader killing me a few days back?
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyz94ltu3bp
Which brings back to square one.
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxTL1toLJj
It could be anything.
