The mansion was awake, lively and busy. Everyone was busy working and rushing here and there. The girls were told that their boss had some really important guests coming over for dinner and they had to clean the house, prepare meals and serve them to the guests. The chefs were already on it, cooking different kinds of foods. Seafood, chinese, italian and much more. Eira couldn't help but drool at the sizzling red lobster resting in the tray surrounded by a congregation of different sauces but looking back, she could remember how badly she was insulted over a plate of spaghetti.

Now even looking at any sort of pasta gave her the freaks, reminding her of that awful moment.

She was assigned to clean the table and lay out napkins and utensils perfectly and she was proud of herself. Doing her job well without causing any drama or creating unnecessary mess.

The table looked beautful with pale white ceramics resting on top of silk red napkins and silverware decorating the sides. It looked aesthetically pleasing and Eira wished to capture the beautifully lit dining table but sadly she didn't have her phone nor a camera. She never bothered asking for one because she was fearful of sounding too entitled and needy.

Eira fully intended on saving up some money from her salaries and buying a brand new phone. The device wasn't a necessity as of now, she barely had anyone to stay in contact with.

Eira was grateful, she had to be, the girl was receiving all of this afterall only in exchange for some lousy work.

Arwen was busy helping the chefs brothers, being their little assistant while Anfisa and Raisa were busy cleaning around the house. Madiha and Eira were assigned to be the servers for the guests and the ravenette didn't mind, it was like being a waitress and she found it nice. She was working, earning and standing on her own.

She was proud of that.

She just hoped deep down that with her clumsiness, she doesn't end up messing things. Viktor wouldn't appreciate the lobster sitting atop his guest's head, with the lettuce and spring onion decorating his face.

There was still time for the guests to arrive so once she realized she was finished with all of the given tasks, Eira decided to talk a small walk in the big garden at the back of the mansion, looking at the flowers and sniffing them. The Lilies and Roses produced a palpable scent, tugging at her senses. The atmosphere in the garden under the open sky was better than the oil-ruled, greasy kitchen one.

It was all green with different kinds of pink, purple, red and yellow flowers causing a warm smile to play on her lips. Nature was truly beautiful and it amazed her how many different kind of flowers there were.

"Are you a lover of flowers as well?"

The hoarse voice caught her off guard causing her to flinch and turn around, now facing the owner of the voice that was a man dressed in a emerald colored suit. Right in the presence of an unknown man, her fingers began their work of fiddling, toying and gripping onto the sides of her dress. Eira stared at the blonde male who walked closer towards her with a smile dangling from his lips.
