Candela

“Each of you, face on me!” The old-looking wicked lady exclaimed as numbers of maids are in a straight line, facing her without doing any clumsiness.

Candela rolled her eyes numerous times. She’s been irritating by the scream of that woman. For the fact that she’s not the majesty here. Only having the position way higher than other maids but still, she’s a maid.

“You!” All eyes fixed on her direction as the woman pointed her out.

“Are you paying attention?” The woman strictly asked. Candela nodded, “I am Miss.” She said, only answering the woman’s question half true.

“Follow me!” The lady again commanded. She tightens again her grip on her luggage before following her line.

As she walked through the hallway, all she can see was the Baroque structure the castle made of. With a touch of classical style that giving elegance to the eyes of the wanderer. They passed lots of huge doors that surely in the inside, it will showcase another wonderful scenery and style.

Candela was way busy looking at the walls embroidered by antique paintings than to the words coming out from the woman’s mouth. For her, introducing and explaining every detail about the work she and others would have is boring. Tiring at all since she’s done with this before.

Well, she’s not only into planning how can she get her victory. But also, memorizing every corner of this castle. From the underground to its top, all of that is planted into her mind. Depicting an imaginary blueprint.

She’s not planning to fail, that’s what she always reminds of herself. She’s here for her victory, for the justice…

“Only the assigned maid are allowed to enter the room of our master, did you all get me!?” Everyone answered except her.

In her thoughts, only others will follow that rules but not her. Not a Candela Rio like her. No one can rule her unless she let it.

Being a maid is just her front but the truth is, she’s a cunning lady who is driven by her plan. Driven by own purpose.

They still roamed around for more until they reach a dead end. They aren’t going upstairs and that made Candela grin. She knew that the second floor as well as the other floors above are more restricted. Thanks to Owen for having that information for her.

All of them entered the spacious room where there’s only a chair in the middle with several boxes laying on the glossy floor. Candela got more irritated by the click sound coming from the heels of the old woman. As if it’s teasing her ears every time the woman took steps.Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

“So, let’s jumped in on giving each one of you your assigned work.” Candela stood straight, bringing her breast more out.

“Step forward as I call your name, I’m not the one to handled you your uniforms.” The wicked woman announced before she sat on the chair.

The number of maids is now surrounding her, waiting for their names to be called. For Candela, she couldn’t help but to wish for her to be assigned to the other floor. The first floor for her will not be giving her enough way and time to start her plan, she wanted to be assigned on the second or upper floor so she would be near to the Crimson family.

“Candela Rio!” She was stunned for a moment as she heard her name being called out. Her hands tighten on her luggage even more. “Candela Rio!” That’s made her walked straight, leaving her place as she walked with grace.

Her mother once teaches her how to walk like a princess, so she’s now doing it. Walking forward pure of fineness in every step she made.

“You’re Candela Rio?” She wanted to roll her eyes at the question she heard but hold it back. “Here’s your assigned area and I’m expecting you to do good. Well, I can say that you’re fine than others, can’t even think of you could break a glass.” The woman commented as she handled her things.

As she turned her back to the woman, she let out a smooth curse on her mind. Thinking of Candela as a fine lady who can’t break glass is the last thing to think of. She can’t just break glass though, bones also.

When Candela reaches her place back, she immediately looks at the paper she was holding. A cunning smile was drawn on her lips as she read it.

“It’s payback time Candela.” She said on her mind folding the paper. She looked back in front and watch the others get their papers too.

The thought of being assigned to the area she’s been waiting for is driving her head crazy. Emotions filled her heart but only one emotion filling it more… excitement. Excited to start her life and serves the Crimson Family in their graveyard.
