Chapter 24: Accident with an Honorable Maiden

“You! Grab those rose vases from over there and put them on those tables. Quickly!” a senior maid instructed loudly as she pointed a finger at me.

“Yes, right away…” I said before quickly doing what I was supposed to do.

When I arrived at the table where the vases filled with red roses were, I quickly discovered that the vases were much larger and heavier than I had thought. How am I supposed to carry all three of these on my own? I could try one or two at a time.

“Mila! Do you need help?” Jessie asked as she quickly approached my side.

“Oh, thank goodness that you’re here. I must carry three of these, but they’re big and heavy. Can you help take one? I’ll handle two of them,” I said as relief flooded my body, and then I sighed.

“Sure. I’ll put this one on that table over there. You can do the other two,” Jessie said encouragingly.
