Chapter 6 Breaking the first rule

Chapter 6 Breaking the first rule

Elspeth was done with breakfast before she went up again to arrange Stone's exceptionally handsome bedroom. Then, she went to her own bedroom to arrange it of the scattered clothes thrown by Celine on the bed and onto the floor.

When she was done, it was twelve in the afternoon and she didn't know what else to do, so she gave herself two options; to take a tour around the big mansion and know what exciting things it has to offer or to go down and get closer to her husband's servants.

Elspeth chose the latter while having a strong feeling that it would be good if she was closer to each one of the servants rather than just Celine. However, to her disappointment, only Derrick seemed willing to have such close relationship as Celine had behaved with her.

Emilia on the other hand, was too serious indeed. Emilia was the youngest and while Elspeth had seen Celine and Derrick laugh and play with her, she never saw Emilia smile.

Derrick was fun to get know, despite the fact that he was the chief servant. He was almost as loud as Celine but clearly not as old. Elspeth was able to share inside jokes with him in between discussions and surprisingly, he also took the opportunity to even flirt with her.

Perhaps, being the head of them all had given him such boldness and Elspeth surely didn't complain. In fact, it made her happy, especially when he showered her with compliments.

"Master Gerardo does not know how lucky he has become to have you!" He told her among other things while kissing her hands with the exceptional opportunity that he had.

Emilia was very slim and flat-chested. Only her buttocks appeared to be a little big under her very long maid outfit unlike Celine who had them big both in front and at the back.

Believing that they would have the opportunity to get along with each other next, Elspeth had requested to be led on a tour by Emilia after having her little time with Derrick and she obliged. With that, Emilia showed her the library, in which Elspeth had been shocked to realize existed in the mansion belonging to someone like Stone but at the same time, she was very excited. Surely it would be her favorite place to always visit.

Next, Elspeth was shown the laundry room, kitchen, storage room, game room, music room often used by Derrick alone since no one else was interested, an insight to all the three guest rooms apart from hers and Stone's that she'd already seen and which made five bedrooms in total, then the servant quarters, the swimming pool and the conservatory.

All was fun except the all too serious look on Emilia's face all through the tour around the mansion. Even Elspeth had tried to have a conversation with her, but she would keep on addressing her with 'Mrs Gerardo,' unlike Celine and Derrick who were grateful to simply call her madam Elspeth. Rather, Emilia failed to be in the mood of long talk and her replies were all too short so that soon, Elspeth was bored.

“Madam Elspeth!" Celine said delightfully when she crossed paths with Elspeth and Emilia while they were just stepping out of the conservatory.

"Celine." Elspeth smiled as though with relief.

Celine was holding a long broom in her hands. "Are you ready to go out with me while we still have the time?" She asked. "It's about just three."

Before Elspeth had the time to reply, Emilia quickly rushed forward from behind to face the older woman. "What?!" She bursted out while pinching up the hem of her long gown at both sides. "Master has told me not to let Mrs Gerardo ever step out of this house."

"Well, he didn't tell me that, dear. So how would I know?" Celine said, now facing Emilia, although it was obvious she should have known.

"Now you do." Emilia retorted. "And I advice you adhere to it."

Celine had prepared for such response from Emilia before she openly came to tell Elspeth about leaving the house and her smile grew wider than when she had just crossed paths with them “Oh? If you shall report me to Master for taking Madam out on a simple trip, I wonder what I shall also report."

As if immediately getting a hint of what Celine was referring to, Emilia's face went pale right away. "W-what do you mean?"

"Yes, Emilia. I will have to tell Master about the weird camera that u set up in his bathroom so you can always see him naked. And I will tell him about your weird obsession towards him so he'll finally send you out of his house."

From where Elspeth now stood behind Emilia, her eyes expanded upon hearing what Celine spoke of Emilia. She couldn't believe her ears. Maybe they were not working properly at that instant.

"I... I did not..." Emilia stuttered, clearly having nothing believable to say to defend herself. Celine was right. She had been caught. Then Emilia bent her head downwards to look towards the ground as though to accept defeat. “I'm sorry. I will not report you if you take Madam out."

Then Emilia looked up again to meet Celine's bright eyes with a pitiful look. “I will go now."

Elspeth remained shocked as she watched Emilia speed-walk away and Celine was given the chance to laugh aloud.

Then, Elspeth came closer to Celine. "Was all that true? Emilia put a camera in master's room?" She asked, still surprised.

"Your husband, you mean." Celine reminded, taking Elspeth's hand at reach and pulling her away. "Yes, but before we discuss now, let's quickly get ready to head out or Elspeth would not have to tell him about us leaving for he will find out himself."

Elspeth remained in the blue dress that she had picked for herself that morning, except for the scarf, while Celine ran to her room in the servant's quarters and came back with a different outfit. She had removed her maid outfit to change into a long multi-colored gown and a black jacket with black sandals to complete the look.

Amazingly, Celine took along a black hand bag where she kept some cash and credit card that she'd collected from Emilia as emergency source of cash given by Stone for the important things that Elspeth would have needed later, although he didn't know what, so he left quite an amount in Emilia's hands. No surprise, since she was his favorite indeed.

Celine and Elspeth headed out immediately and they took a cab to the nearest boutique. Yet, the boutique had the most quality-displayed and beautiful clothes that Elspeth had ever seen so closely before. Discovering this, Celine encouraged her at once to start trying out the clothes and Elspeth complied.

There was a dressing room where she went in each time she picked a cloth she wanted to try and when she came out to show Celine, Celine only kept shaking her head until she had to intervene herself. When at last, Celine began to choose clothes for Elspeth, Elspeth couldn’t help but gasp each time.

Not only were the clothes too short but revealing too!

After the fifth time that Elspeth tried a gown or combination of clothes that Celine had chosen, Celine nodded her head with a smile while looking at Elspeth up and down. "Now you're beginning to look the way I've imagined, darling!" Celine rejoiced. "You're so beautiful! Look at that skin!!" She shouted so much that some other young ladies who were present now began to turn their heads to look at them.

"Oh, she looks so pretty, indeed." One of the ladies who looked Chinese said to her friend. "Isn't that dress she's wearing very expensive? Who's she?"

"True. I'm also amazed."

Upon being able to hear them commenting, Elspeth quickly turned away and headed back into the dressing room with her face looking flushed. She felt so embarrassed. But most of all, she felt really good about herself. It was the first time she'd had to wear such revealing clothes in public even if there were only females around at the moment. She couldn't But she knew the time would come soon, when she’d have to get used to them.

Especially in the presence of men.

As Elspeth attempted to dress into the next outfit, her cellphone rang where she had kept it with her blue dress in the dressing room and she picked it up to place at her ear immediately. "Tracy!" She squealed.

"Elspeth!" Tracy replied, also sounding excited on the phone. "Thank you so much, sis!"

"For what?" Elspeth became perplexed because she didn't understand why Tracy was suddenly calling to thank her when she hadn't done anything for either of them, yet.
