MY SAVIOUR
1356 Words
Leah and Abigail has spent over three hours mopping everywhere and of course mopping off their sweats along, they had cleaned all the ten concubines’ bedrooms, laid their bed sheets, arranged all make ups and accessories accordingly, they changed the curtains that were due for changing, scrubbed all the bathrooms and toilets and mopped them all, they were at the verge of fainting but Sharon didn’t even bat an eye lash instead she freed others after they mop just one corridor and told them the other works is already assigned to another person.
"Don’t you think if I don’t die of talking back, I would die of cleaning?" Abigail said suddenly flaring up
""What are you doing? Is this not enough punishment? We only have one room to go, let’s bear it" Leah whispered
"I think I might die before we even touch that room, I’m so tired, I can’t even take water or a break, what did I do to deserve this? It’s not like I begged to be here" she shouted throwing her mop to the floor, I’d rather die than do anymore she added sitting down.
"Abigail, I don’t know what you are trying to pull but can you just tell her yourself that you are no longer interested? I don’t want to be given extra punishment, I already had enough" Leah said with her hands in Akimbo.
Sharon saw the drama going on and came to check what the ruckus was all about, she and her crew had been talking and laughing at the far end of the corridor while monitoring their work and they don’t fail to catch anyone slacking off.
"And what is going on here?" Sharon asked as soon as she got there
"I can’t do this anymore; don’t you think you are being too hard on us? We only came late and not that we refused to work!" Abigail spat out
"Ohhhhh we have a wench with a nerve here" she snorted
"Who told you to come late? Don’t you know it’s an offense?" Sharon said raising her voice
"Yes, I did come late but we already apologized, is there anything you want after that? We have been doing everyone’s work since and you didn’t even bat an eyelash, are you trying to kill us? " Abigail confronts with her small body
"Are you out of your senses? Do you think we are mates? Do I look like a fellow of brown castle?"
“whoosh” a sound landed on Abigail’s cheeks as her eyes turned black due to the force
"Do you even know who you are talking to uhn? I’m the head maid for this castle!"
“Whoosh” another slap landed on her cheeks while she was still suffering from the sting of the first one
"Who do you think you are to confront me?" She shouted and raises her hand to deliver another round of slap only for her hand to be held in the air
Abigail lifts her face to see who her savior is and she was met with an elegant lady who is so beautiful that her jaw dropped. Her skin was radiating money and her face was screaming “I’m a Queen”, this is the most beautiful face Abigail has seen ever since she stepped in this castle and wow she’s gorgeous!
"My lady! " Sharon blurts out in surprise as she quickly retracts and gives a bow to show respect
Abigail was still awe struck that she didn’t even remember to bow her head in respect until Leah pushed her head down with her hand to let her know
"Ah I’m sorry my…ladddyyy" Abigail stutters as she bows deep to her
"Lady Cecelia, if I may ask, what brings you to this lowly place?" Sharon said with a wide smile
Wow, so she has such a nice side? She was busy acting like a viper witch few seconds ago and she’s back to smiling like an angel now? Hypocrite!
"Can’t I pass this place to my chamber anymore?" Lady Cecelia questioned with a smile
I mean you should be scary and authoritative while dealing with servants, why is she smiling? Abigail thought while looking at the drama in front of her
"Not at all my lady" Sharon bites her lip to caution her mouth
"What’s happening here? " Lady Cecelia asked while looking at my face which is now red due to the slaps
"She was busy slacking off and I was correcting her" Sharon explained bowing her head
Uhn? Slacking off? Or I’m trying to free myself from your wicked clutches Abigail thought while giving her some disdain look
"You should take it easy with them, she’s still a small girl as you can see, don’t overwork them" she cautioned before turning to Abigail and Leah
"You can go, others will do it" She commands with a smile
"We really can…"
"Thank you so much my lady" Leah bowed and pushed Abigail forward before she completes the nonsensical question she was about to ask
"What’s wrong with you?" She whispered while giving her a hot gaze
"What?" Abigail mouthed
"Report to my chamber tomorrow!" They heard Cecelia say and they quickly turned back to give her an answer
"Understood my lady!" They both chorused before zooming off.
"I trust you will take care of it" Cecelia smiled to Sharon and her cohorts before moving on to her chambers
"These two are dead in my hands" she muttered before picking up the mopping stick
"What are you doing? Won’t you clean it up now?" Sharon shouts at the girls looking at her and they both scurried over to collect the mop.
The angel that heard my voice today and sent a helper should always continue to guide me and help me, I really thought I would die, who gives such work as punishment? Does she not have a sister? Well if she had she would have treated her like a flower because she’s her blood and still be mean to me Abigail thought as they strolled the corridor of the brown castle.
"Who is she?" She suddenly ask with curiosity shown over her face
"She’s the second concubine" Lady Cecelia Leah answered stretching her worn fingers
"How can a person be so beautiful? She’s elegant too, the way she was shining and her skin screaming wealth, wow I wish to be like her, so pretty" Abigail blabbers with her hands clasped together in front of her face
"Dream on" Leah snorts at her nonsense
"Well you never know what can happen" Abigail replied sticking out her tongue and runs off
"That brat!" Leah fired before chasing after her.
*****
"Wake up!" Leah shook Abigail who was still busy snoring
"Is it time to wake up already?" She grumbled half asleep
"Wake up sleepy head"
"I still want to sleep a bit" she whines before a pillow landed on her head chasing off every sleep
"Are you serious right now? We have to clean up and get ready before six O’ clock!"
"I have never had one great sleep ever since I stepped my foot in this prison" Abigail whines as she gets off the bed.
"Make sure you act fast, we have to report to Lady Cecelia’s chamber this morning" Leah warned before dashing out of the room
The mention of Lady Cecelia geared her up immediately as the thought of seeing the beautiful and elegant lady who suddenly turned to her role model excites her.
"Wow today might be a little different" she said grinning before exiting the room while whistling a song only her knows.
