Alfred p.o.v :

I didn't see that brat ever since yesterday.

She's avoiding me, how interesting ?

" Darling , are you listening to me ? " said my lady lona.

" I'm, my lady " I replied .Ever since we woke up, she kept talking about the party she's willing to make .

Which I suppose it's today.

" Do as you please, my lady " with that I left the room, leaving her alone.

I walked to the stable.

It's been a very long time, ever since I've been here.

I careless my horse head.

He didn't seem to be scared. That means he still recognizes me.

" Who is there? " Said someone.

It's male. I knew that from his voice tone.

" I asked who are you!? " He repeated his question.

Such an idiot, he doesn't even know his master whom he works for.

" I'm the owner of this house " I replied, quite simply. As I looked at the person face.

It's that brat friend's: the worker.

" Ah, my apologizes. I didn't know who you are " he said, scratching his head.

I didn't say anything, just walked off.

" Make sure to take care of them " was all what I said, as I left.

Time surely runs fast here. It's almost the party time.

Everything is ready, like my lady Lona asked for.

She wore a nice dress with suitable make up. Somehow, she isn't looking bad.

I, as well, wore my suit: a black one.

" Oh, my. You're looking so handsome, my dear " my lady Lona said, touching my face, and got closer to my side.

" I'm glad you like it " I replied, coldly.

" Well, well. We should keep going now " she said, walking in front of me.

Everyone is still the same as ever: fake.

Though, my lady Lona is completely the same as them.

I suppose she's as fake as them.

" Hello, Mr Alfred. It's been a while " I look up at the person who's speaking.

That's definitely a different guest.

Alexandra p.o.v:

I've been avoiding master all day long. I wonder how long I'll be able to do that?

Today, there's a party going to be done here.

I have to clean up well.

I cleaned up almost everything, leaving what's left for other maids. There's plenty of maids here other than me.

I just remembered that the chef made some delicious food.

I think Jack would like some.

I would've asked Lili to take it, but she's too busy cleaning and the maid Serena won't let her off, until She's done. Since she been slacking off lately.

I walked to him, but suddenly I see master coming out of the stable.

There was a quiet, gloomy atmosphere between those two.

I hope Jack doesn't do anything to make master angry.

= = = =

It's party time. I tried my best to serve there without being noticed by master, at least for Today!!

Tomorrow, I'll try to gather my courage...

" It's been a while, Isn't? " I looked to see who's the person that is talking.

I was shocked when I saw him.

It's Edward!!

" Well, you have grown... a lot " he said, smiling.

" Thank you... you also have changed " I said to him.

I was shocked because he became more handsome than he was, his hair become a bit taller.

His appearance became more attractive.

His blue eyes are still as ever: beautiful.

" You look so pretty "

He complimented me?

" Thank you" I blushed a bit.

He leaned down and grabbed my hand, kissing it.

" What are you doing? " I said, getting surprised.

" You aren't a little girl, anymore. So, I suppose I can do this now, right? " He smirked.

" You still can't " I said to him.

" Why? " He asked.

" Because I'm only maid " I said, looking down.

" But you're still a woman " he smiled, warmly.

" Yes, but I'm not a lady " I smiled to him.

" A woman is a woman, even if she's not a lady " he explained.

I gave him a thank you smile.

Suddenly, I see someone passing by my side.

That person smells good and have good appearance. I wonder what kind of person he was, to be invited to master and mistress party.

Alfred p.o.v:

" Indeed " I replied to that person.

" My apologizes for not coming to your wedding day "

" It's alright, Mr Sam " I said to him.

" Oh, my. You must be Lord Sam, right? " My lady Lona said, as she walked towards us.

" You're right and you must be the beautiful, lady lona " he smiles to her and kissed her hand.

" I've heard many things about you, Lord Sam " she said to him.

" May I know what a beautiful woman like you, know about a man like me? " He asked.

" Well, you certainly may " she chuckled.

" You're the Lord Sam. You're extremely rich, and very, very! Known. Not only here, but everywhere, and very handsome man too, with charming way of speaking " she continued.

She's right. Lord Sam has a black long hair and he wears glasses. He is a very smart person, that it's better to stay away from and not mess with him.

It happens that I met this person back then, when I was at a young age.

" What have you brought here, Mr Sam? " I said coldly and honestly.

" How rude of you, Mr Alfred. Is it wrong to Visit my friend? Besides, I've been thinking to come back to this town and stay for a while " he explained.

" I see. That's perhaps not a bad idea " I replied, drinking some red wine "

" You have done a great job those years " he chuckled, drinking some white wine.

" Your father would be very proud " with that, he gave me a smirk.

I wonder what have brought him here after all this time.
