Chapter 111 - 111. Excessive
"Where are you going, madam?" asked Elena again and managed to stop Anna's movements.
"Huh?"
"Your hair is still wet."
"So? Where's the problem?"
"Let the Maids help you dry it," replied Elena.
"No need, it will dry on its own," replied Anna.
"Let me do what should be my duty, madam."
A rough sigh sounded from between Anna's lips, "Hey, it's just a hair thing, no need to be so serious. Besides, there's no way that guy is angry with you just because my hair is still wet," said Anna to Elena.
"YOUR HUSBAND, you better not call your HUSBAND with the word 'THE MAN', as his wife, you..."
"Yes, yes, yes, whatever. Now pull over, I'm going out."
"No, madam. Until your hair is dried. As your maid, I will not allow you to wander outside looking like this."
"Huh...what's wrong with my appearance? Am I naked? So now pull over, let me pass," said Anna.
"Sorry, madam," Elena apologized, but her body didn't budge one bit from its place.
Seeing the behavior of Elena and the maids who were standing right behind the woman, Anna rolled her eyes.
A harsh gasp was heard.
"Okay. Do whatever you want," said Anna who finally gave up.
"Okay, madam," replied Elena, then gave a code to the maid behind her to quickly dry Anna's hair, which was still very wet, as water droplets occasionally fell from the ends of her hair.
Until a few minutes later, the Maid rearranged Anna's hair after drying it.
"Done, madam." said one of the maids.
Anna just nodded, glanced at her appearance in the mirror then rose from her position.
"Why?" asked Anna with a furrowed brow when she found Elena again blocking her path.
"The clothes you are wearing are wet, madam. You have to change first, I have prepared a new dress for you," replied Elena.
"Hah....".Anna wanted to curse, her clothes were wet but only a little on the shoulders, it was because of the water that came from her hair earlier.
Feeling tired of Elena's treatment, Anna chose to obey and not protest much anymore.
This kind of treatment might be more suitable for a spoiled princess who only knows how to exhale, not her who has been used to doing everything herself since childhood.
"It's done, madam," said Elena after zipping up the woman's dress.
Anna nodded.
"Is there anything else? Aren't you going to ask me to take a shower too?" she asked in a tone that sounded more like sarcasm.
"You've taken a bath, madam," replied Elena, a sentence that made Anna roll her eyes again in disgust.
"In that case, prepare breakfast for me. I'm waiting in Dave's room," Anna said then started to leave without waiting for a response from Elena.
She is not used to commanding other people arbitrarily, whatever her position, it's just that because she is annoyed at Brian and also all the Maid's treatment of her, it makes her feel so annoyed and maybe needs a little ..... release?
In this case, Elena is the perfect target. Remembering the woman who was always near her.
If only she and Elena weren't met in this mansion and the situation was like this, maybe Anna would have been more polite to her and tried her best not to raise her voice.
No one knows, since living at Brian's residence, Anna's good side seems to have disappeared.
Only when she was near Naila and Dave did what was raging in her chest lessen a bit.
Glancing briefly at the clock that stood majestically on the right side of her bed, Anna then left the room.
"Good morning, madam," Carlos greeted as usual when he saw her.
"Erm, morning," Anna replied briefly while nodding her head.
"Where do you want to go?" Carlos asked but his question was quickly answered when the woman he was following stopped in the next room.
Knock...knock...knock...
Anna knocked softly on the door. Hope Dave and Naila are awake.
Knock...knock...knock...
Anna knocked once more, but there was no response making the woman's brow furrow.
"Are they still sleeping?" Anna's monologue.
"Carlos, did you see them leave the room earlier?" Anna asked the man standing behind her, just to be sure.
"No, madam," the man answered immediately.
Hearing Carlos' answer, Anna then turned around and wanted to knock on the door once more, but her intentions were stopped with the sound of the door creaking open.
The next second, the door to the room in front of her was now wide open, showing Naila, and Dave who was in the middle of the room, it seemed her son had just finished taking a shower.
"Ah, Anna... I wonder who's knocking on the door this early because you're usually still sleeping," Naila said before the woman who seemed to want to speak.
"Come in," Naila said again taking a few steps back, giving Anna access to enter the room.
"I'll be on guard outside, madam," Carlos said and only got a nod from Anna.
"Mom...." Dave called while carrying a pair of clothes in one hand. His body was still half-naked, on the surface of his skin, there were still beads of water from his bath.
"Here, let me help you, honey," said Anna, approaching her son, drying his hair with a towel, and helping him get dressed.
"He's been awake since earlier," said Naila, sitting next to Anna.
"Is that true? unusual," replied Anna not stopping or slowing her hand movements in the slightest.
"Erm, even I'm still very sleepy."
Glancing at Naila, who occasionally yawned, Anna smiled.
"You take a shower, let Dave be with me," said Anna starting to button her son's shirt.
"But..."
"Well, take a shower. After that, we will have breakfast together. Maybe the food will come soon," said Anna to Naila.
Once again the girl yawned, occasionally stroking her already very messy hair. "Okay. Then I take a shower first," said Naila getting up from her position, walking to the bathroom in the same room.
Anna didn't respond to the girl's words anymore and focused back on Dave.
"Do you sleep well?" asked Anna in a very soft voice.
"Erm, what about you, mom?" Dave asked back after nodding in approval.
"I sleep well too, honey," Anna replied with a faint smile.
"Mom, I had a strange dream last night," said Dave, lifting his gaze, looking directly into his mother's eyes.
"What dream, honey? Can you tell me?"
"I'm afraid Mom. I have read one of the books. It said if a person dreams, he shouldn't tell it to anyone else, because it could be that his dream will come true, Mom," Dave answered at length, occasionally pausing to catch his breath.
"It's just a fairy tale, honey. There's no such thing in this world."
"Really? Are you serious?" he asked.
Anna nodded then grabbed her son's body, carried him walking towards the sofa facing directly to the balcony. "What do you dream about?"
The boy shook his head. .looks doubtful.
"Was there Mother in your dream?" she asked.
The boy nodded, causing Anna to smile again.
"That means Dave loves me very much, honey."
"But in that dream, Mom left me with Aunt Naila," said Dave and managed to make Anna's smile hang.
