I spent the rest of the day on the balcony, just soaking up some me time. I wanted to leave the rest of the discovering and mind tangling for today.
It was the next morning, I wake up in my pajamas and I head downstairs after I brush my teeth. I felt refreshed and focused. I go into the fridge and I open it. It was filled with groceries already, I guess that was Aurel's doing.
I grab the eggs, bacon, some fruits. I went into the pantry and grabbed the pancake mix, I love a big breakfast.
I head to the stove and I grab some pans from the shelves. I put three pans onto the burners. I start cooking the food and putting the ingredients together. As I do it, I hear footsteps.
I watch the door and in walks a man. He looks older.
He looks at me a bit confused and then he nods as he realized. "You must be Ms. Codona, I'm your butler Mr. Cozma. Ms. Dalca informed me of your presence and I wanted to properly introduce myself".
He bows and he gives a small smile. Here I am in my pajamas, not professional for a first meeting.
I smile and I keep my head turned to him. "Nice to meet you Mr. Cozma. But please call me Brooke, the whole Ms. makes me feel old".
Wrong choice of words.
"Not that it's old, just... umm....I prefer for us to be friends. I don't want to treat you like a boss and an employee. You have been in this family for generations and I just became known to existence, the least I can do is be the one to show you respect in this beautiful home".
He nods and he chuckles a bit. "I understand exactly what you mean... Brooke. But your grandmother informed me that I shall treat you like a Dragomir. So for now, I will keep my respect but if Brooke is what you prefer then I shall say it for you".
I smile. "Thank you Mr. Cozma".
He smiles. "If I call you Brooke, you can call me Aurel".
I nod. "Ok.. thank you Aurel".
He bows. "Now anything you need? I see you are cooking which is honestly my job. But if you want to help yourself, you need to inform me".
I nod. "Oh.. I'm sorry. I'm just used to cooking on my own. Not used to the whole.. butler and maid thing. But um.. I will inform you if I don't need your services. Thank you".
He nods. "Well if you need me, there are buttons everywhere in the mansion. Just press it and we will come".
He walks away and I sigh. Well, he's not that bad. He's as friendly as Adina. But I can tell they are both old fashioned, I wonder if my grandmother was the same way.
After this, I really need to do some searching. She did say there should be answers about everything.
