The Ruan Family Residence
A taxi had just stopped right at the large main fence of the Ruan family residence. He intended, only to convey his mother's message to the head housekeeper Ruan. After that, he'll be home soon.
Anna got off the taxi. After, hand over some money sheets according to the rate printed on the meter argo screen.
"Thank you, sir," Anna said after closing the car door. Mr. Taxi driver, smiled and nodded his head before he properly passed.
Anna walked towards the guard post. Soon, report his destination of visit. When, a security officer appears to be out of the post.
"I came, just wanted to meet the head of the caretaker, and just wanted to say, if Nana Su, my mother, the maid of this house, can't work for a few days because she has—" Anna hesitates to say why. He seemed to be considering the lies he was about to tell.
"I-my mother has had a little bit of a minor accident. So, he can't go to work" explained Anna in a nervous tone.
"Wait a minute, I'll tell you this first. I have to ask, are you allowed in or not? Because Mrs Ruan, just arrived this morning. He didn't like strangers, stepped on his house" said Security.
Housewife. Is that Ethan's mom?
Anna's pair of legs, looks more hesitant to step. His heart also shrunk, knowing the presence of a figure that he should avoid.
Wanna go. However, Anna had yet to meet the head housekeeper. If you don't tell me about Nana's absence working today. She's afraid her mother will be fired.
"Come, you can come in. The head housekeeper, waiting for you."
Hear that. Anna strengthened her knees. When, the turnstile shifts open slowly automatically. He walked slowly, though much doubt and fear, if he met the hostess. Anna's small footsteps began to step on the courtyard of the Ruan Family's residence, which looked extremely spacious. However, his whole heart was pounding.
Is Ethan's mom, really scary? If Ethan can be sweet, what about his mother?
The deg! Anna's heartbeat was like a fall jumping to the bottom of a ravine. He was even more nervous, when he had reached the door of the Ruan family residence. Anxious and fearful like a blanket that made his two knees firm, immediately like a leg that had lost its bones. Only skin and meat. Limply.
Cret! The door was wide open. A second later, Anna seemed to close her eyes for a moment. As if, he was picking up strength in the air.after being quite certain, he re-opened his eyes.
"Come in." A servant invited Anna in.
"Want to see Aunt Fann?"
Anna nodded her head, while continuing to set her pace, and walked following the waiter, towards the kitchen.
The Kitchen
A middle-aged woman is seen arranging the work of several cooks in the kitchen, she is seen holding a menu book of dishes, and giving some instructions to a cook.
"You should avoid all of the ingredient lists I gave you earlier. Madam, has a sensitive tongue, and she doesn't like excessive flavoring!" press Aunt Fann, then hand over the menu book.
"Seven o'clock at night, Mr. Ruan will come with the great Lord. You must be careful preparing dishes for tonight."
Lord Ruan and Master, is that Ethan's father and grandfather?
Anna stopped breathing for a moment. The deg! His heart thumped even more violently, hearing that two core people Ruan would be present tonight.
I have to say goodbye, I don't want to see them.
Anna looked nervous and was still standing behind the waiter who took her to the kitchen, she was silent - she felt comfortable hiding behind the servant's back.
When that back shifted, a black shadow appeared standing in front of him. Aunt Fann was seen staring in full disquiet.
"Anna, Princess Nana Su?"
Anna gasped when her name was mentioned.
"I .. yes," Anna replied with a slight trembling tone.
"You're so similar to your mother, that I'm easy to get to know."
"Good afternoon, Mrs Fann. I'm Anna Su, Princess Nana Su." Anna introduced herself awkwardly, not daring to look at the middle-aged woman.
Let's just say, Young master Ruan just happened to like you, because you have a pretty face.
Anna raised her eyelids, as she felt herself to have been carefully valued. He found Aunt Fann had again stood in front of him, and the middle-aged woman's lips sounded kindly greeting him.
"Anna's afternoon."
"I-i ...." Anna was confused to start a conversation, moreover she had to lie according to Nana Su's message.
"What's wrong with your mom? She's not working?"
"I-mom, you-can't work. Cause he's sick."
"illness?" Aunt Fann's forehead looked shriveled deeply. As she recalled, Nana Su did not look sick last night after coming home from work.
"Mother had a k-accident at m-night ..," stuttered Anna looked confused about continuing her lie.
"Continue, don't be nervous like that."
"I-mom has been hit by a hit-and-run," Anna tells her lie.
Aunt Fann looked surprised at the last two words Anna said. A hit-and-run.
"Is he hurt bad?"
Anna nodded her head, and said pleading, "Maybe in one week, mom can't go to work. Please don't fire my mom."
"One Week? That's too long."
Aunt Fann took a step back. If Nana wasn't, it was young master Ruan who chose her to be his servant. Aunt Fann, will have the power to fire and find a replacement if she doesn't go to work for a week. However, he must press Nana to return to work as soon as possible. Because, in the near future will be held a birthday event as well as the engagement of young Master Ruan.
"But we need Nana's power as quickly as possible. Holidays are too long, will be detrimental .. unless ...."
"I can change my mom to work."
"For a week?"
Anna nodded her head.
"You're not going to school in a week?"
Anna hesitated for a moment, but finally decided to nod her head again.
"You sure?"
"I went to school where the rules were not strict. Where, a lot of students skip school, it's no big deal."
"Oooh ...," muttered aunt Fann long, and stared intently at the little girl in front of her, and secretly suspected Anna's intention of willing to work.
Aunt Fann brought her body closer to Anna, and her head extended to the side of Anna's ear, and whispered in her warning, "You can go to work in your mother's place. However, you are forbidden from flirting with young master Ruan. Even if you know each other. Please, you have to keep your attitude."
The deg! Anna stopped breathing for a real warning in her ear.
"You got it?"
"understand."
"Don't forget! You're a nobody. You don't live in a fairy tale. You're not Cinderella."
