This morning, at the residence of the Wu Nobles all the servants were busy with various activities. Including the lady of the house, Clarissa Wu, the stern-faced woman seemed busy in the kitchen with Cira and also the other servants. Clarissa's face looks very radiant, even a sweet smile continues to adorn her thin lips. How not, early this morning he got a message from Gabrielle that her grandson would come to visit. The news made him happy beyond measure. And Clarissa immediately woke up the whole house to immediately prepare to welcome the arrival of her grandson.
"Madam, do we need to make snacks for Miss Elea?" ask Cira while arranging the dishes on the table.
"Em, I can" replied Clarissa. "Oh yes Cira, where are Kimmy and Fulgi?."
"Mrs Kimmy and Mr. Fulgi seem to be sleeping, Madam. Do I need to wake them?."
Clarissa shakes. He then wiped the sweat on his forehead.
"Have a rest, madam. You were busy since the early hours of this day. This job let me and the waiters clean up. I don't want Madam to be exhausted" Cira said attentively.
"It's okay, Cira. This is the first time I've cooked something for my flesh and blood after so many years apart. Well even though it wasn't Sandara who came, to me Elea was still herself" Clarissa said with a cheering look. "Well, what am I, why is this sad. It's a happy day, I can't mellow and make Elea feel uncomfortable. Right, Cira?."
Seeing her employer who was trying to look tough made Cira smile agree. He knew very well that this woman must have cried last night because she remembered her daughter who had died. It was clearly visible from the eyes of his employer who looked swollen even though it was covered by thick make-up.
Not wanting to make his master sad again, Cira immediately took him to the kitchen. Deftly he took out the ingredients to make a snack. As for Clarissa, she so eagerly mixed the ingredients into the container and stirred it with a mixer. With a smile on her face, she recalled memories of a past where her late daughter had a habit of stealing immature dough whenever she made cookies. Those beautiful memories involuntarily made Clarissa's tears melt. Even some of them fell and mixed with the dough he was making. Clarissa's heart was claustrophobic, never once did she imagine that the little girl she had left behind had now melted into the ground.
"Mrs, are you okay?" cira asked worriedly while rubbing the shoulder of the woman who was crying in silence.
"You know Cira... In the past, Sandara loved to steal raw dough like this. He didn't even feel the slightest fear though I always scolded him for not eating the immature dough. Sandara is so sweet, after making me angry, the little girl will shower me with thousands of kisses. He said it was a payment for the good food he had just stolen. She's so sweet, isn't she?" clarissa replied, Remembering the past with her daughter.
Cira took a breath while nodding her head. "Madam, let it all be the most beautiful memory of Madam and Miss Sandara. She is now calm in heaven, Miss Sandara has also left Miss Elea as her successor. I really hope you don't be sad anymore, happy Madam. It's been quite a burden you've felt all along!."
Fulgi who happened to have woken up a little surprised to see the whole house that looks very busy. He overheard the voice of someone talking from the kitchen. Curious, he finally came over. His eyes glared at the Madam the owner of the house was there while doing the work usually done by the servants.
"Aunt Clarissa, have you changed your profession to a chef?" tease Fulgi while leaning against the kitchen wall. "You look a lot like that apron. Ahhaha..!."
"Take care of your mouth, Mr. Fulgi. Madam Wu is the owner of this house, so please be respectful towards her!" hardik Cira doesn't like it.
"Kc... Hey you street girl, don't wait for you to be raised directly by my aunt then it makes you so big head huh. I'm also part of this house, so don't always assume that I'm just hitching a ride. You should be the one who pays respect to me, not insulting me like you were!" annoyed Fulgi while looking fed up at the homeless girl who was always next to her aunt.
"Even if Cira comes from the streets, but the attitude he has is much better when compared to you which is clearly raised by a noble family. Fulgi, if anyone else had seen your insolence just now, I'm sure you'd have been scorned by all of them. Fulgi Alexander Wu, grandson of the nobleman Frederick Wu, grew up to be a man of no manners. You want an article like that to be published in a magazine. Huh yeah?" bluff Clarissa while continuing to stir the cookie dough.
"I know you're thinking of killing me" Clarissa said. "Fulgi, you better not dream too high. I'm afraid you and your mother will be hurt if they don't get what you want. And also I want to tell you that the person I trust as the recipient of all our family's estate will soon come to visit this house. You and your mother get ready, we'll all welcome her!."
'What???? So Sandara's going home? Shit, if this is how do I get that inheritance? Arggghhhhhhh, you jerk!!!.'
Clarissa smiled faintly as she did not hear any sound from Fulgi's mouth. He was certain that his nephew must be very angry right now. Fulgi must have guessed that the one who will come to this house is Sandara. She and her mother would be very surprised to find out that the one who came was not her daughter, but Elea, the beautiful girl who Sandara left to replace her in this world.
"Cira, please get me a cookie print. The dough is ready to be roasted" Clarissa said, breaking the silence.
"Okay Madam" said Cira then immediately take what her employer wants.
As for Fulgi, the crafty man snorted angrily then immediately left the kitchen. With wide strides she walked towards her mother's room intending to tell her the bad news she had just heard. Also, they wanted to get her mother to arrange a new plan to overthrow her aunt, who claimed to be the sole heir to all the wealth assets of the House of Noble Wu.
"Miss, is it okay to tell Mr. Elea's arrival to Mr. Fulgi?" ask Cira to worry.
"Calm down, I discussed this with Gabrielle. You know, even those boys are in this house. So we don't have to worry about Elea's safety anymore. I'm sure the people Gabrielle sent were the best among the best. Fulgi and Kimmy wouldn't have been able to touch my granddaughter even if it was just the tip of the hair" Clarissa replied calmly.
"really? Ah thank goodness then. I'm very worried that Mr. Fulgi and Mrs Kimmy are doing something bad to hurt Ms. Elea. Luckily Miss Elea has a husband on standby like Young Master Gabrielle!" cira said while sighing in relief.
"Yes you're right, my granddaughter is very lucky. I also hope that one day you will find the same guy as Gabrielle. A kind and loving man, who can love you regardless of status!" clarissa.
Mistaken manner when his master said so. Honestly, ever since Cira was adopted by Madam Wu, not once had she thought of leaving by her side. Cira has promised to spend her entire life serving the woman who saved her from the harshness of living on the streets. So the word have a partner is very far from his thinking, whether it was then or now.
