His Personal Maid — Chapter 28

“The next time you open your mouth to scream at me, I’ll be ripping your inside out with this knife. Try me Fang! Try me and see that I never go back on my words” Sylvester threatened Fang, embarrassing her. She quickly tied her tongue and stopped talking.

She always thought she could control Sylvester, which was the main reason why she decided to turn up at his mansion unannounced. But what she didn’t realize was that Sylvester had uncovered all of her secrets during his stay at the palace and he hates her more than any other thing.

Sylvester dropped the knife and started eating silently until Desire wanted to move back again. He glared at her, making her stop on the spot as he stared into her emerald green eyes.

“Those eyes,” he trailed off but quickly stopped himself. “Have you eaten?” He asked instead.

“Yes, my lord” even though She lied, her stomach couldn’t help but grumble out in hunger.

“You’re lying. Sit down here” He pointed to the seat next to him.

“My lord, I’ll eat once you’re done” Desire refused his offer.

“Don’t make me repeat myself or you wouldn’t like it”

Out of respect for her master, she reluctantly sat down next to him.

“Someone should get me an extra plate,”

Sylvester demanded and Fei quickly went into the kitchen to get a plate as well as some cutleries. She gave it to her master who scooped some of his food and also took the ones left in the big plate for Desire to eat.

“Eat” He commanded and focused back on his food. It was only when he turned that he realized she hadn't touched the food.

“What’s wrong?” He had initially wanted to scream at her but when he saw the sad look in her eyes, he quickly controlled his temper.

“It wouldn't be fair on others if I eat. We all worked hard together to make the dinner, my lord. That was why I insisted on eating later” Desire explained.

Sylvester nodded in understanding and decided to dismiss everyone of his workers except Fang’s house maids to eat their dinner and explained further that he’ll call them if he needed anything.

Fang never thought she'd see a day that a woman would have so much effect on Sylvester. Even the housemaidens were so surprised at their master’s new attitude.

“Thank you, my lord” Desire smiled at her master and started eating. He kept on staring at her and wondered how much her smile affected him.

By the time everyone on the table was done, the housemaidens had all returned ready to clean up. Desire stood up and joined them, placing the dirty plates in the washing basin while the leftover dishes were returned to the trolley.

Sylvester stood up, moved closer to Desire, placed his hot lips on her ear, causing a cold shiver to run down her spine.

“Before you go to bed tonight, come to my room” He instructed.

“Yes master” Desire replied.

Ying thanked the housemaidens for dinner before walking out of the dining area behind Sylvester. They had a lot to do and they couldn’t waste more time on dinner.

“What happened between you and master, Desire?” Fei asked, curious to know why their master fancies her so much.

“Nothing really happened” Desire replied, not wanting to go into full details, afraid that it might cause a serious controversy if she did.

“That wasn’t nothing, Desire. He looked at you the same way I look at food”

It wasn’t news that Fei could eat anything as long as it is labeled food. She wouldn’t care if it was poisonous or not but long as it is plenty enough to satisfy her, she’s good.

“You better stop chit chatting and get back to work, I need to sleep early myself” The court lady chastised then as the two girls continued washing the plates used.

Fang suddenly came into the kitchen and kept on staring at Desire, making the poor girl wonder if she had suddenly grown two heads.

“You seduced him, didn’t you?” She suddenly asked, gaining everyone’s attention.

“I did nothing of the sort, my lady,” Desire replied politely.

“Nothing of the sort, you say? What I just witnessed out there is not nothing, Slave” Fanged suddenly banged the table“Your foolishness is so funny, slave. You think you can have a chance at being his wife, never. I repeat never, he’s an important man in this region and you think, he’ll go for a lowlife girl like you, a slave for that matter. A mere….”

Desire continued washing the plate as Fang rambled on and on by calling her different dirty names.

No one could stop her as they were all trying to avoid trouble. Once she stopped talking, Desire and Fei had finished washing as well.

“My lady, can we go to bed?” Desire asked, directing her question to the court lady.

“Of course and make sure you are here early tomorrow for breakfast or else you both would be in trouble” The woman instructed

“I’ll bring the tea later on, my child” lady Nor informed her.

“Thank you ma”

Desire removed her robe and hung it on the wall as Fei did the same before the two of them walked out of the kitchen, ignoring everything that Fang had said as if she hadn’t said anything in the first instance.

This angered Fang the more, making her hate Desire all over again.

“How did you do that?” Fei asked on their way to the room.

“Do what?” She asked.

“I mean take all the bad words she used to describe you without replying to her”

“Giving her a response would only make the issue longer, I was just avoiding trouble” Desire replied.

She had learnt lessons from the case of the Queens who kept on having a disagreement each time. If one of them would keep quiet while the other talked, it would’ve made the issue easier.

Sylvester was about to sleep when he remembered Desire hadn’t come to him like he had instructed, he waited more but got impatient when he didn’t see him.

He needed her so he could sleep better as he always slept peacefully knowing she was right beside him.

He walked into the kitchen to see Lady Nor preparing something and decided to ask her about Desire.

“Where’s she?” He asked suddenly, scaring the older woman.

“Do you speak of Desire, my lord? She had retired for the night”

Lady Nor had gone to give Desire the tea she promised when she saw her sleeping peacefully. The girl must have been really tired, to sleep off like that in a few minutes.

“Lead me to her room” He asked

Lady Nor quickly left what she was doing and led her master to his heart desire.

Sylvester entered the room that was occupied only by Desire as the other maiden she was supposed to share the room with, Fei, had an overnight secret life that she needed to attend to.

He brushed her hair off her face to see her lips pouted as usual as she snored silently. He smiled before picking her up bridal style while the lady Nor helped to open the door wide. She was as light as a feather and it got him worried.

By the time he got to the bottom of the stairs leading up to his room, Desire awoke and tried wriggling out of his hands as she was caught by surprise.

“What’s going on, my lord?” She asked

“What does it look like? I’m kidnapping you”
