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!?

"Oh, Mika… are you really so clueless? Or are you simply mindless?" Aira chuckled before continuing her words in a playful tone, "That young madam will leave this house as soon as Old Master finds out about her!"
Aira knew what kind of woman Old Master was looking for, Master Xander's future wife. The woman should have an excellent educational degree, a distinguished family, and equal status to Riley. And more importantly, the woman wasn't from the entertainment field.
So far, their Master often invites women from the entertainment world. Even though they were beautiful and rich, to the Old Master, their status was the same as a woman selling her body at the club. So, they were unworthy of being the woman who would give birth to the heirs of the Riley family.
How did this new young madam fit into Old Master's criteria? Impossible! Except Master Xander is now ready to clash with Old Master.
"Sis, aren't they already married?" Mika was even more confused. How could Master Xander marry that woman without Old Master's blessing!?
"You think the Old Master already knows about her?" Aira shook her head. "Mika, I can bet my entire fortune he doesn't know. I guess Master Xander got married without telling the Old Master."
Mika opened her mouth, but no words came out. Now she understood why Aira refused to serve Young Madam.
What a sly fox!
Mika was secretly praising Aira in her heart. She took a sip of her tea and turned her gaze to the garden.
Somehow Mika still felt a bit displeased because she wished she was the one assigned to serve the Young Madam. Even though she knew the madam wouldn't be staying here for long, at least she could get into the Main bedroom and see Master Xander up close.
Later…
While Aira and Mika were still talking, suddenly, a familiar voice came from the door.
"What are you two doing here?"
Aira and Mika turned their heads only to meet Butler Paul Kane's sharp eyes. The two stood up from their seats and quickly cleared the table. They felt nervous to see him.
'Did he hear what I said earlier?' Aira is afraid of Paul. She crossed her fingers, hoping this old man wouldn't hear anything or she'd be in trouble.
"S-Sir, we just finished our afternoon break..." Aira said politely.
"It's past break time. Watch your attitude, Aira. As the female maid head in this mansion, you should be able to act according to your position." Paul retorted while entering the room. Then his eyes fell on Aira again.
"From today on, there is a Young Madam who will be our priority. Never do anything that makes her feel uncomfortable living here. Or you will face me… to accept your punishment. I don't care who you are or how long you've been working here!" Paul continued.
After hearing from Maddy and Erica that they were assigned to look after the Young Madam, he immediately suspected that Aira must be up to something. And he was right. This woman seems to have grown tired of living here. He will close his eyes this time, but if anything happens, he will not hesitate to ask Master Xander to fire this troublesome maid.
"Now! Go to your station…." Paul didn't give them time to say anything. Looking at this maid, it felt like he had a sudden headache.
Paul felt satisfied after seeing the two women nodding. After the two of them disappeared from the room, he walked out too, but before he went out, he saw Logan Lee walking towards him.
"Are you still here?" Paul was surprised to see him. This man rarely stayed here. He would return to his office or apartment when the Master returned to the mansion. But why was he still here?
Logan smiled, looking at Paul. He asked him to enter the staff lounge and sit on the couch in the corner. After he saw Paul sitting across from him, he finally told him about his new assignment.
"Paul, from now on, I will be staying here. Master, assign me to be Young Madam's personal assistant and driver. So, can you get someone to clean my room?"
Paul was shocked. If Master Xander assigned Logan to be a young Madam's assistant, then that woman had a special place in master Xander's heart.
'Since when did Master Xander become soft on women!?' Thought Paul. This was a new side of his Master that he had seen since he worked for him.
"Paul!?" Logan chuckled as he saw Paul in a daze.
"Ah, yes, yes... I'll ask someone." Paul immediately stood up from his chair. He called someone from the landline in the corner of the room. A few moments later, he returned to his seat. But now the look in his eyes was not as confused as before but turned to curiosity.
"Logan told me when did Master Xander marry Madam?"
This question bothered him greatly. But, as a butler, he couldn't ask his Master directly. After all, his Master had a secretive personality—he spoke less.
"Well, would you believe me if I said they met on B Island two days ago and they decided to get married the next day?"
Logan crossed his arms over his chest while his eyes stared straight at Paul. He smirked when he saw Paul widen his eyes, staring back at him.
"Ben and I have the same expression as you, Paul..." Logan laughed.
"For God's sake! Don't say that nonsense, Logan. How could our Master marry someone he just met?" Paul couldn't believe it.
"Shit!! I'm not joking. Well, I was also shocked when Master Xander told me." Logan's firm tone could finally make Paul believe.
"Paul, you must be prepared. Because from today onwards, our life will not be peaceful if Old Master learns about Mr. Xander's decision to marry without telling him. I can predict this place will turn into hell!" Logan continued.
"What!? So the Old Master doesn't know about this either?" This was the biggest shock Paul had heard today.
If Master Xander got married without telling his grandfather, then it's likely that what Logan said would come true. This house won't be quiet. The Old Master will definitely throw a tantrum here.
"Obviously, the Old Master doesn't know. If he does, do you think the Old Master will agree? Madam isn't from Riley's circle. How can he allow that?"
"This time, Master Xander has gone too far. He openly opposed the Old Master. Mmm… only God knows who will win this time." Paul muttered.
Hi all, Please continue to throw your power stone at Xander and Scarlett. Thank's a lot for supporting this book. Xoxo
