Chapter 31: They Will Separate

Mika was confused by Aira's words. She sounded gentle, but the glint of annoyance in her eyes was unmistakable — she didn't like the new Young Madam.

"What do you mean, Sis?" Mika asks. Didn't their Master introduce the woman as his wife? Obviously, master Xander would choose a classy lady who is equal to him, right?

It was common knowledge in this White Mansion that the Old Master was very picky about who would become a companion for their Master, Xander Riley.

Every time Master Xander got close to a woman, it was the Old Master who would decide whether or not that woman deserved to be Master Xander's wife.

If the Old Master doesn't like that woman, then don't expect Master Xander to have a chance to marry that woman. Xander Riley, as one of the heirs of Riley Corp, always follows his grandfather's choices.

"Can you see the way she's dressed?" When Aira saw Mika nod, she continued, "From there, you can tell she's different from the other women in the past. They look rich, elegant, and beautiful, but still, the Old Master doesn't like all of them. So what do you think about this poor woman?" Aria grinned at Mika.

Mika was surprised to realize what Aira had said. She's right!

Meanwhile, the two women sitting opposite Mika and Aira found it strange to hear Aira. But they are afraid to share their opinion. They just listened in silence while trying to enjoy their tea.

"Old Master will be furious if he finds out about this sudden marriage!" Aira said before she sipped her tea again.

"Sister Aira, you're right. That woman doesn't look elegant at all. She's definitely not from a powerful and rich family. She's probably just like us." Mika's eyes turn bright. If that woman could attract Master Xander, they also had a chance. Or do they?

"Yes, she is just like us."

"But why did Master Xander introduce her as his wife earlier? Does that mean the Old Master has given his blessing?"

Aira shook her head slightly.

This Mika is too slow!

"Mika, it would be best to learn more about observing your surroundings and environment…You don't know anything yet." She patted Mika on the shoulder and turned her gaze to the two young women across from her.

Aira noticed neither of them seemed interested in what they were discussing. Or were they now siding with the Young Madam!?

Such a possible reality made her feel annoyed.

"You two! Why are you both still here!? Go to your place. The new madam might call you..." Aira glared at them as if she was scolding her servant.

Maddy and Erica didn't really mind Aira's raising her voice to them. They used to. But, they were taken aback by her command.

'Awaiting Young Madam's orders!?'

"S-sister Aira, so you assign us to serve the Young Madam?" Maddy asked. She and Erica were just new maids in this mansion. She was afraid she misheard the order because Sister Aira, as a head maid, should do a task like this.

And while living in this mansion, they never once set foot in the main house when the Master was around. They also never went up to the second floor, where Master Xander's room was. That place is a forbidden area in this mansion.

The only woman who has ever gone up there is Aira. So far, the one in charge of that area has been Butler Paul and male staff.

"Yes! Maddy, you and Erica should serve the Young Madam without any faults..." Aira said softly. She politely smiled as she saw Erica and Maddy nod. "This is your chance. So make sure you don't make a mistake, okay!?"

"Yes, Sister Aira…" Maddy and Erica answered excitedly.

Aira maintained her warm smile even though she was mocking these two naive girls inside. As a Head Maid for many years in the White Mansion, she would never serve that lowly woman, even if she was her Master's legal wife. Because she believed that the young madam would not last long in this mansion. So, why should she bother wasting her time serving that young madam? She would never do that.

That's why she assigned these two inexperienced maids to serve Young Madam. She couldn't wait to see that lowly woman survive in this mansion.

Maddy and Erica immediately stood up to thank Aira. This was their chance to shine and be recognized by Butler Paul.

"Sis, thank you for giving me this opportunity…" said Maddy happily.

"Sis Aira, I'm also very grateful..." Erica bowed her head slightly towards Aira. It is her blessing to accept this monumental task to be a personal maid for Young Madam.

After Erica and Maddy thanked Aira, they left the room.

Mika frowned at Aira. She didn't understand why Aira had assigned a newbie maid to serve the Young Madam.

"Sis, why are you assigning them..."

"You want to know?" Aira playfully asked as she glanced at Mika.

Mika nodded. Of course, she wanted to know. Because she was suspicious of Sister Aira's strange attitude. Her attitude was different from usual. During this time, she was ambitious to serve in the main house. And restrained them from visiting the main house — diminishing their chance to get a closer look at Master Xander.

She has lived in this mansion for several years. Still, she has only been able to see Master Xander from a distance — the opportunity to see her Master up close was never there. And if she could become Young Madam's maid, she would have plenty of opportunities to get a closer look at Master Xander.

But now, sister Aira ruined it, she threw away her chance to the newbie maids!

Mika is angry. But she couldn't express it because she still needed Aira by her side.

"That lady will not be our Madam for long… so why bother to dirty my hands to serve her?" A malicious smile appeared on Aira's face as she saw how shocked Mika was.

"Sis Aira… what are you talking about?" Mika was shocked beyond words. This Sister Aira dares to curse Young Madam, and Master will be separated in no time!?

How dare she!?
