SOPHIA'S POV

It was 7:50 am and the food was
ready
Maids were moving in and out of the kitchen with the aim of serving food to our superiors

We had cooked alot of food
Pancakes, waffles, sausage, cakes, doughnuts, buns,bread, eggs were fried and pouched
Coffee and tea was brewed
Juice was made..... truly it was a breakfast for kings.
I haven't seen so much food my entire life

I was required to serve the food but I didn't want to go out there looking like this.
Looking like a whore searching for attention from men

I pretended to still be fixing something on the kitchen counter so as to avoid going to the dining room
Madam Matilda noticed my move but she didn't complain
I think she understood how I felt in this short and tight sorry excuse of a dress

My pretence lasted for a couple of minutes before a maid came to complicate stuff.
A maid my age approached me with a fancy looking sugar dish in her hands

"Hellow" she greeted

"Someone needs to take this extra sugar dish to the dining table but I can't there's something important am doing, can you help me please?" she gave me a half smile

"Uuummh-you can go to the dining area I'll do your chore" I said scratching my forehead

I hope she gets the message that I don't want to go there

"You're new the chore am doing will just confuse you........ please do this for me"
She was persistent and I have a problem of not saying no to people

"O-key I'll take it" I said

I was scared to my bones I took the dish from her with shaky hands

"Thank you so much" the girl said and walked away

I said a small prayer before walking out of the kitchen

God please be with me

I said looking up

I hope the Lord heard me

In the dining area

The room was packed men and women where busy chatting and laughing with each other while enjoying their breakfast

Majority of the people on the table were men and the few women present were drop dead gorgeous
With their long straight hair

Perfect applied makeup

Expensive dresses

Jewelry on their necks, wrists, ears and fingers stood out even more I guess it was the gold that brought the shining effect or the silver or the diamonds or the rubies

I felt like a rat in a castle

I walked towards the dining table more like do a walking race
I placed the sugar near an elderly man without forgetting to give him a kind smile

I like old people
They look kind and loving

But the old man didn't return my smile instead he was looking at me in a weird way.....a very weird way

Without wasting another second thinking about why the man was looking at me the way he did, I scurried towards the door
I wanted to get out of the room as soon as possible

Then the most stomach dropping thing happened, it's like planet earth didn't want me on it anymore

"There she is Don" I heard madam Matilda's voice from across the room
"Sophia come here darling" she said giving me a warm smile
