Aye's POV
As an overall assistant kitchen staff, I doubled as a cleanup staff for when the mansion visitors had finished with their meals.
The tasks took up so much of my energy so I was thankful whenever Apple, the head of the kitchen department would come over to help me finish my duties.
Sometimes I wondered why she came over to make things lighter for me. She really didn't have to so I was deeply grateful for all the assistance that she gave me.
She also would help me out whenever I had to face problems caused by any of the visitors.
This morning for example, after breakfast, as I was going from one end of the long table to the other, picking up the breakfast plates and utensils and setting them on the metal rolling table, I got involved in an embarrassing incident.
The participants of the No-Kiss Challenge stayed seated at the table to wait for the administrator to discuss the rules and regulations of the mansion and the contest.
I went about saying "Excuse me" to each participant as I reached out to pick up their used plates and utensils.
I had already picked up the plate of a participant whose table name stand said "Ben Bunyapol" when he made a sudden movement and turned his head.
The edge of his breakfast plate that was already up in the air hit his cheek.
The participant beside him whose name stand indicated "Man Trisanu" was on his feet in an instant and went to examine Ben's cheek as Ben kept the affected area covered by the palm of his hand.

Mr. Toptap Kuariyakul, the administrator, who was standing at the head of the table witnessed the incident.
"You have to be more careful, Aye!" he yelled at me. "We don't want unfortunate incidents occurring during our stay here!"
I was not aware that Apple had been standing by the doorway and had witnessed the whole incident.
She immediately stepped forward.
"It was not her fault, Mr. Kuariyakul," she said in a disapproving tone. "The participant unexpectedly turned his head just as Aye had lifted the breakfast plate."
To his credit, Mr. Ben Bunyapol echoed Apple's opinion.
"It was not her fault, sir," he said to the administrator. "It was actually mine. I turned my head to say something to the person beside me just as she had lifted the plate."
"Okay, I'm sorry, Aye," Mr. Kuariyakul said in a repentant tone. "I shouldn't have judged you too quickly."
I nodded tearfully to acknowledge his apology, but the emotional damage had been done.
I was grateful when Apple approached me and whispered, "Go to the kitchen and help the sous chef clear away the unused ingredients from the kitchen counter top. I will finish up for you here."
I whispered a thank you to her and was more than happy to leave the breakfast room, away from the stares of the participants.
"Is everything okay, Aye?" the sous chef Ohm Pawat asked.
I nodded wordlessly, averting my face from him so that he could not see the tears that were starting to roll down my cheeks.
