happy reading

Today Ai had no scheduled meeting so she chose to relax inside her room. Even Milly had to take her to her mistress' room.

“ how are the servants? Did Grace do anything else?” ai asked as she devoured one by one the food menu.

“ they are very happy with the help that the lady gave. Miss Grace now prefers to go quietly, some say that she often comes home at night” replied Mily who managed to find information from the gate workers.

“ em so. We should be able to find out where she went” the more days Ai felt Grace was acting more strangely, sure as hell if Grace was planning something bad for her.

“ can you get someone to do a stakeout?” Ai does not want to be helped like before. Just once he's done the stupidity now not again.

“ yes mistress, I know someone who can do reconnaissance” Milly replied confidently. This makes Ai look satisfied, she should be able to get Grace away from her household life.

It was late at night, but Ai did not see a single train coming out of the residence. All day long he looked over the balcony of his room which could easily see the activities in front of the entrance of the residence. The room is now in the front so it faces the entrance gate. Out of boredom, Ai finally goes down to dinner, and she wants to find out where Grace is.

“ Duchess “ greet one of the kitchen maids.

Ai immediately sat down at the dining table, the dinner menu was almost finished. He had intentionally arrived early.

“ madam can I help you?” Milly who knew her mistress was already sitting quietly at the dining table made her approach immediately.

“ no, you help them prepare their meal” Ai saw the hassles of the waiter who hastily prepared because he saw himself waiting.

After all the food was served, the waiter returned to the kitchen.

“ wait, is all the food already on this table?” ai asked who confused the waiter.

“ there are some more leftovers breakfast and lunch in the kitchen. Do we need to serve as well?” answer Chloe's waitress.

“ yes, serve all the food in the kitchen” sure Ai. Some waiters began to wonder in their hearts, was it not too much, when they planned the leftover food they would eat later.

A little while later the waiter began to busy again, bringing all the food according to the instructions of the mistress. Now one table is really full of various foods, such as a party.

“ you call all the servants and workers, besides the gatekeeper of course to enter and eat with” some while the waiters are still pensive not to believe the orders of his mistress. It was the first time the servant and the master ate one table at a time.

“ ayoo, the food rush” Ai resuscitated their disbelief. Just contact the waiter began to do Ai's orders even though in a state of doubt.

Now that the waiters and workers were lined up around the dining table, Ai who had taken a plate of her portion of the meal was now sitting quietly. He deliberately preceded so that others would not feel hesitant to eat.

“ until when you will stand there, let's eat with” the servants and workers look at each other, really they are a little afraid because there has never been an event like this before. They wait for each other.

“ Mily you can give an example to them” Ai is still calmly enjoying her food, although originally she also did not feel good eating in front of the crowd.

Mily who is a little used to invite others to not hesitate to take food.

“ let the waitress Chloe and the others” see her friend take a meal and sit next to the mistress some waiters start to approach the chair and take food. Not long ago the dining room was crowded with an impromptu dinner of one residence.

“ do not forget to leave it for the gatekeeper “, said Ai who knew the enthusiasm of the workers. Ai's heart was so happy to see how the servants and workers happily laughed could taste the delicious cuisine. After making sure everyone had eaten Ai prepared to retreat.

“ gosh, you guys are really disrespectful. How can we eat together at the dinner table? The place you ate it in the kitchen sana” Grace who just came down immediately commented scathingly to all the waiters, she did not know if among these servants there was a Duchess who ordered it. Hearing those words some servants stopped chewing food.

“ rest easy Grace, I purposely told them to eat here. This house is so quiet I'm not used to eating alone. After all what was wrong with taking them to eat once in a while” the servants laughed with satisfaction in heart because they were defended directly by the mistress of the residence. Some workers even chided Grace's arrogance in their hearts.

“ but their Duchess is a waiter and a residence worker, not worth eating one table with you” Grace is still looking for excuses so that she is not humiliated alone. She does not really respect Ai's position in this house, because Grace still likes to argue Ai's opinion as it is now.

“ they do work as waiters, but are waiters not human. Don't make their appetite go away, I want it myself, do you mind?” Ai did not want to continue arguing, just asked her intin. Grace felt humiliated by Ai in front of all the workers, eager for her to reply Ai with insults. But fortunately Grace still had a little sanity in seeing the situation. The more he avoided finding excuses the lower his position was in the eyes of these workers and servants.

“ not Duchess” Grace replied resigned but harbored anger. Both of his hands clenched tightly, restraining his overflowing emotions. The workers and servants were satisfied with Grace's reply, continuing to enjoy their meal. Now the status of the Duchess in their eyes was a status worthy of respect. Although some rumors from Grace about the Duchess tightening financial problems annoyed them a little, they now doubt it a little. With their own eyes they witnessed how the Duchess defended them.

No need to linger, Grace immediately left the place and returned to the second floor. Milly glanced at Ai with a happy smile. They both have the same thoughts. Satisfied to have humiliated Grace in public. Grace's arrogance all this time must be avenged, at least giving a lesson for her so as not to act like a hostess.

When he arrived at Ai's room not directly up the bed, he went to the balcony of his room. He had replaced the wooden balcony chair with a simple sofa, so that when sitting here at night, Ai could feel a little warm and comfortable. As it is now. Ai who enjoys the night view need not be afraid of the cold.

Tok tok Mily's in.

“ mistress, all servants and workers leave a sense of gratitude for you. They did not expect that their Duchess was a kindhearted woman” Milly brought tea and a little snack for Ai. Ai only smiled lightly when she heard it.

“ all day is Grace out?” tanya Ai switched the conversation.

“ doesn't seem to be, is it because the madam didn't come out either. The waiter said if when the mistress left, briefly then Grace went to”

“ he's quite ingenious, don't want me to realize his departure” said Ai who started thinking of ways to deal with this.

“ tomorrow we do not need to attend banquet” there is an implied meaning in Ai's sentence that Milly does not know. Ai has to be nimble to trick Grace. He has to be one step ahead.
