Chapter 8 The Second Time I Served The Master
- Ezra's POV:
- Its been a week since the party.
- The maids were jealous of my
- beauty,I was always pretty but I didn't know I was this pretty,Gloria told me so,why were they jealous,when they were the ones that always called me ugly.
- Gina shouted on top of her voice when she saw me,the other slaves were surprised and happy as well,I changed totally and I know I changed for good,I was happy with the way I was being more noticed now.
- Gloria was teaching me how to cook ,cooking is the main thing a Lady should know,delicious food keeps your man at home that's what she said to me.
- " Move " A maid said and shoved me.
- "Watch it Naomi,we are in the kitchen do you want her to get hurt." Gloria shouted at Naomi.
- "That's none of your business Gloria,what are you have mum?" she sneered at her.
- Why did she have to bring my mum into a conversation that doesn't concern her.
- "Why are you bringing my mum into this?" I asked.
- "Oh so you can talk now back at me ?" Naomi asked me angrily.
- "Naomi leave for alone " I said to her.
- "Who gave you the right to call my name" Naomi shouted.
- Is this girl for real so I can't call her name anymore, what's she a goddess.
- "Is your name not meant to be called ?" I asked her sarcastically.
- "You watch yourself Ezra just because master Stephen sent for you in the party doesn't mean you have suddenly grew wings know your place." Naomi said.
- How did she know that master Stephen called me was she spying in me, wasn't she suppose to be serving,what's even her deal.
- "Well he didn't pay attention to you don't take it out on me" I scoffed.
- That made her more angry I know I hit a spot.
- "Hump ....I am sure you will know your place in due time his just playing with you ,he won't ever pay attention to a dirty slave like you am sure his just being nice to you because his nice to everyone" she smiled to her self.
- Is that what her problem is that master Stephen paid attention to me .
- "Keep telling yourself that" I said.
- What's wrong with this girl I never did anything wrong to her so what's her problem what does she want from me.
- "You...."
- "What's happening here?" Ma Nora asked.
- Good thing she came on time Naomi was really starting to get on my nerves.
- "Nothing ma" Naomi said innocently.
- She's such am evil girl no one would believe she was sneering at me few minutes ago,who would believe me when she has stayed longer than me here.
- I wonder why she hates me,from the first day ma Nora asked her to call me I haven't had a good feeling about her,she just hates me for no reason at all.
- "Ezra the master asked you to serve him." ma Nora said.
- "The.. M..aster " I stammered.
- "Yes you alone" ma Nora said.
- "But.."
- "No buts hurry it up,you are done with your training its normal he tests you." Ma Nora left and Gloria and I finished cooking, she arranged the tray for me and told me how to act,I feel like I was being schooled all over again.
- I took the tray.
- "I hope you make a mistake and the master punishes you" Naomi smirked.
- "Ignore her" Gloria said.
- I ignored her and walked towards the dinning hall,when I got there I was told that the master was in the study so I went to the study. I hope his food doesn't get cold I don't want to get punished for it.
- When I got to the study door I saw Fred and he opened the door for me.
- I took a deep breathe and walked in. The master bought out a book from the shelf and skipped through the pages he must be looking for something,he paid no mind to me,I stood there for a while he still said nothing I was afraid to do anything wrong. I looked at him and I noticed for the first time how handsome he was. He seemed peaceful.
- "You must have not been taught well" he finally said.
- "M..aster" I stammered.
- I couldn't seem to find my voice.
- "Firstly you walked in here and didn't great me. Secondly you didn't keep the tray on the table and leave. And the highest offense...." He looked at me and I looked away.
- "You were staring at me" There was a moment of silence.
- "Keep the tray and leave " He said. I hurriedly placed the tray on the table and turned to leave.
- "Stop." He ordered and my eyes widened instantly.
- What have I done now?
- I froze.
