"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.
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKVqXIwcgI
I poured them all water and wine, just as I was told, all sat quiet.
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtSwnfKazw
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.
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡja1MET1Dwm
"How did they got to convey it to me through you. "Ryan growled lowly too, but there was anger in him,
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynEwlYW6qY
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.
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGn12m8dTGh
"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.
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30MdTwni5A
"Yes, sir." The elder who sat way far answered,
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYDopEIkX8r
"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.
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR8sth2r8qc
"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?
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2XAMc5TTO
Everyone shut up abruptly, I think ryan must've glared.
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaIwRlHgbxN
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.
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdH4BOpByp
Even Lowest rank is that influential? Baron?
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoRr6PYuiSX
I nodded and started for him.
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJYFas4bkt
Then I started for him.
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjm7WHR3Iwu
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.
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnXNGzm2cOF
Every head was in our direction, a tear leaked. I was that scared. I felt pressured, Too much.
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlDdgI43V67
"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.
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡclV15Ydx7W
"What more can a lowly offender be capable of?" One elder taunted.
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1EbTOOByU
"Someone take her away! We'll deal with her punishment later." Andrew ordered first. I focused on ryan whose eyes were burning into mine.
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc6vGZOyDS7
He masked his features since others had their eyes on him too. "Get Alberto a change of clothes too." Ryan concluded.
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAyBbZJiNdN
I walked out without being dragged away, that'd be humiliating.
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5f3aQ6GGdD
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.
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4XaVHkiYjl
But the problem is! What will these people do with me!?
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvpqIe7D1Bn
I don't think anyone is seeing Alberto as a culprit.
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZLKlQj7FA
Will this be my last day?
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7QNH6FHJ3D
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.
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1jLLa0PuAr
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.
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1LLwIjQvS
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.
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1hNl31Egv
I wasn't surprised. One must be a fool to live in a castle with no security.
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97nWpTY4eR
I am still not certain what this man do!
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAOWBYzsVCm
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.
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDfvfLHuAh
This is some Governmental organization. bureaucratic officials?
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfJ8zJIjb9
Doesn't that mean I won't be killed!?
They should let go of small mistakes. Right?
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnSkItWlap7
But wasn't the leader killing me a few days back?
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7lp4b30Ji
Which brings back to square one.
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx96jxe5PE0
It could be anything.
