Chương 30: Unexpected Guest

It was already afternoon when they arrived at the manor. Lyndon instructed Butler Chen to tour Misha around while he proceeded to his room to rest.

"Yes. Young Master." the kind butler complied.

"Quit calling me that." Lyndon probed. He's not really used to young master thing. He preferred to be called sir or by his name directly. He didn't employed them to be his slaves. He employed them to help him around the house but that did not mean he treated them less than his family.

Misha looked around the manor. She noticed that it has very wide lawn. At the back of the manor is a forest where Lyndon would practice his shooting skills and hunt down animals.

Butler Chen the one who's been accompanying her, explained with care about the surroundings. She just nodded from time to time.

The tour ended just like a blink of an eye.

Misha's phone rang.

She immediately picked up the call because it's from the VS prod telling her to be on set that night at 8 pm sharp.

"Yes. I understand Rachel. See you then." she said and pressed the end button on her screen.

Butler Chen ushered her towards the dining room. "Young Mistress, snacks are prepared in the dining. I bet you are hungry.." said the kind butler.

"Sure, uncle Chen." she gladly accepted the offer.

"Please Young Miss, don't call me that." said the man with a worried tone.

"Then, don't call me young mistress. We are not yet married." said Misa shaking her head.

'M-married? She's young master's fiancé?' asked Butler Chen. Before he could ask the question, a young maid came in to their direction and called out Butler Chen.

"Butler Chen, Miss Elizabeth arrived." said the girl in low voice but enough to be heard by Misha. The butler nodded in response.

"Miss Misha, I am afraid I can't accompany you to the dining room but I will entrust you to Mary, she will guide you there in my stead." he said.

"It's okay Uncle Chen." she said knowing about the situation.

"Then let's go Miss Misha?" Mary asked her and started walking behind her.

'Another guest?' she asked in her mind.

They arrived at the dining hall with a table full of desserts and sweets.

'What to do? I can't eat these?' she said crying in her mind. She didn't want to reject their hospitality but she can't neglect her diet plan. The young maid noticed this and asked, "What's wrong Miss Misha?"

"No-nothing.. Can I have a rest first?" she stuttered but brushed it off with her question.

"Of course, Miss. Let me take you to the guest room." then Mary ushered her out from the dining room. They headed towards the guestroom, and silence is in between them and Misha can't take it. She began asking about the unexpected guest.

"Umm.. Mary, can I ask you a question?" she started.

"Anything I can help you miss.." the maid answered.

"Who arrived?" she asked her without batting an eyelash. She's really curious who's Elizabeth.

"Ahh.. Miss Elizabeth is a friend of Sir Lyndon." answered Mary.

"Is that so?" she shockingly asked. 'So, he has friends..' she thought.

"Yes Miss. I guess, I can tell, Miss Elizabeth perhaps like Sir Lyndon." the maid added.

"Ehh? How can you tell?" she chimed.

"You can easily tell. She's been warring off the women around the Master since they knew each other." Mary revealed.

"I see." she then nodded as accepting the information about the woman.

So, in short, Elizabeth is her rival. How can that woman be her rival, if she's his fiance? He couldn't be possibly two-timing them, right?

She erased this thought and continued to walk towards her room following Mary's suit.

After awhile, they halted in front of a wooden door.

"Miss, we're here. Have a rest now." said Mary while opening the door for her.

"Thanks Mary." she winked at the young girl.

"You're welcome Miss. I'll be leaving then." after saying this, the young maid turn back and left her.

She then slumped down the bed and closed her eyes. She's super tired from her flight and from the tour around the manor. So, she will regain some of her energy before going to the site.
