Newcomer (2)

When Rebecca was going to teach Anna more table manners, someone hurried over and shouted at the kitchen door: “Where is the new maid?”

Anna was stunned. Were they looking for her?

The person was an adolescent. Seeing that no one answered, he glanced around and asked again: “Who is the newcomer maid?”

Anna raised her hand: “It’s me.”

She recognized him as the young man beside Young Master Parrish. He was sitting outside the carriage and should be Young Master Parrish’s personal servant.

How should she put it? The tree may prefer to be calm but the wind will not subside. The demon was not so kind as to leave her alone.

Fortunately, Anna was already mentally prepared.

After accepting the demon’s help, having to continue dealing with him was the price she had to pay.

The boy looked at Anna, as if to confirm her identity, and then said, “Young Master Parrish is going to have a meal.”

Anna struggled to find an excuse: “I’m still learning the rules, and I’m afraid that it will affect the young master’s mood if I don’t perform well.”

The boy sullenly said: “The young master specifically asked you to go.”

Specifically asked her?… She was afraid that the demon still didn’t know her name, which was why the manservant also referred to her as the “new maid.”

Anna had been mentally preparing herself for a long time, and seeing that refusing was useless, she agreed.

It was already twelve o’clock, and the rules of Earl’s estate outlined breakfast to be at around nine o’clock, lunch at 1:30 p.m., afternoon tea at four o’clock, and dinner at eight o’clock in the evening. Therefore, lunch was mostly prepared already. Because Young Master Parrish woke up late, the kitchen had been reheating his breakfast, as he did not specifically order, Rebecca asked Anna to bring his breakfast over.

Waiting for Anna to leave, the maids who had been vaguely paying attention to her, and the maids who were not busy all got together in twos and threes, and the topic of discussion naturally involved Anna.

Only Madam Mary knew about Anna’s situation when she was hired yesterday, but those who were eliminated yesterday will naturally complain to the elders in the family when they returned home, so there are already many versions of rumors about Anna.

Anna, who had only been working for half a day and was studying studiously, didn’t feel pressured by the rumors. She carried the food box and followed behind the adolescent who called himself Waldo. As she walked, she thought about how she would deal with the demon a little while later. 

To be honest, it wasn’t too difficult, as long as she refused firmly.

The place where Anna saw “Young Master Parrish” again was in the sun room of his residence.

The glass in this world was no different from Anna’s impression. Pieces of transparent glass with a few bubbles were combined together to wrap tightly around the entire extended balcony. The sun shone through the glass and even rainbows could be seen from different angles.

Young Master Parrish, who was wearing a white shirt, was bathed in the warm sunlight. His whole body seemed to be covered with a layer of radiance, and his handsome eyebrows were as moving as angels.

Of course, this was a sight seen by others, but Anna immediately lowered her head after seeing the evil demon hidden under the handsome skin, for fear that she would accidentally meet the demon’s eyes.

She cautiously stepped forward, opened the warm food box, and took out the exquisite porcelain that contained the breakfast. There was Fernando sausage, warm Meyenberg goat milk, white bread baked with refined flour, and meat sauce as a dipping sauce, etc.

Anna placed the food on the table where the demon was sitting, and stepped aside. During this time, she felt the demon looking at her, but she had been staring at the tabletop, completely afraid to look over.

According to the etiquette that Rebecca said casually when she taught her, she had to wait aside and wait until the demon had finished eating before cleaning up and leaving, unless the other party ordered otherwise.

Rothgarr didn’t take his gaze back.

Last night, Earl Wilson hosted a banquet, but he used the excuse of poor health to get out of attending. He was very disgusted with socializing with those hypocritical humans, and he was not interested in doing anything else, so he just went directly to sleep. He was a little surprised to wake up today. In the past, he would sleep for several years when he fell asleep.

He guessed it was because he was too concerned with the bet between him and Balan.

The Abyssal Tree Seed was something he must get. Since Balan was so generous to use it as a betting chip, how could he let the opponent down?

Speaking of the bet…

Rothgarr looked at Anna and curled his lips slightly, but that didn’t mean he was happy.

On the contrary, he was very, very upset now.

Why couldn’t she obediently accept his marriage proposal, and then suffer all the torture in the years to come before taking her last breath?

Why did she have so many ulterior motives?

Rothgarr recalled Parrish’s memory, propped on one elbow on the table, with a charming smile on his face, and his eyes gently fell on Anna: “The girl that I’m deeply in love with, how have you been faring in the kitchen? If anyone bullies you, you must tell me. I will protect you.”

Listening to this “affectionate confession”, what Anna thought in her heart was that the demon really didn’t know her name!

Of course, she didn’t feel the need to remind him that it was absurd to be “deeply in love” without knowing her name.

She respectfully said: “Thank you very much, Young Master Parrish, for your concern. I am doing very well in the kitchen and everyone takes care of me.”

Rothgarr smiled and pointed to the spot beside him, “Do I have the honor of dining next to the beauty that is yourself?”

There were a lot of suitable words to choose from in Parrish’s memory. This was a point that Rothgarr was quite satisfied with. If the first human woman he met was not one with such deep schemes like the girl in front of him, then perhaps he would have been quick to win the bet.

Whether he chose to kill the human woman directly, or whether he chose to ignore her and find someone else, either would be a better choice, but these two options, no matter which one he chose, were a humiliating choice to Rothgarr.

It should be extremely easy for a hypocritical human woman to agree to his marriage proposal, so when he encountered such an anomaly, he regarded it as a challenge.

The bet had just begun, and he had plenty of time to repay her provocation.

Anna lowered her head and replied: “Young Master, I am just a maid, and I dare not humiliate the reputation of Young Master, please don’t do this, Young Master.

If this demon actually appeared in front of her, she might have not dared to resist and she would do as he said, but since he was in the body of another, he seemed to be restricted by some sort of rule, so of course she would make good use of it and openly ‘oppose’ him!
