A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

Emily nodded, there was no trace of anger on her face, "I got it. Any other problems?"

Seeing her reaction, the maid felt as if she had struck cotton. She realized quite uncomfortably, that she had just met her match with passive-resistance. Still trying to provoke Emily, she said, "Don't try to play tricks."

"On you? There is no need." Speaking up, Emily smiled slowly and said, "By the way, don't stand idle, either. After all, we are both maids in this house. We should work as maids. Otherwise why do we stay here?"

She returned everything that had just been said to her.

"You..." the maid was speechless for a while, then she shrugged, "Okay, I'll do it. What difference does it make?"

Saying this, she took a rag and scrubbed the floor with Emily. She was always slack when doing her job, and now was no exception. She just scrubbed it casually.

Whereas, Emily was doing it very carefully.

How long had it been since the last time she did this kind of work?

Four years, five years or six?

The maid secretly stopped her work. Turning slightly, she looked at Emily, and raised an eyebrow at seeing how neat her work was. She stood up and quietly poured a glass of milk, which she slowly emptied on the floor in front of Emily.

She watched the milk fountain down onto the floor which had just been cleaned. It dirtied a large area.

"Why are you so useless? You cannot even clean the floor. Look at it. How dirty it is!" she taunted.

There was laughter in the maid's voice, as if she had done something extremely happy. The maid felt light of heart suddenly, for her wicked deed had brought her such delight.

Emily raised her head and regarded the antagonizing woman. Her black and white eyes were like pools of deep water, "Your name is Bonnie, right?"

Her chilly tone made Bonnie shiver. Nervously she covered the name card pinned to her chest, saying, "Does it have anything to do with you?"

"No, it has nothing to do with me." Emily lowered her head, putting the rag on the snow-white milk. She used it to slowly suck up the fluid.

Not knowing why, Bonnie breathed a sigh of relief and then sneered at her.

She had thought that Emily would have been furious at her and would retaliate against her! She proved nothing more than a coward though!
