The next day was a Sunday and Mr. Astor said he had work to do do. He took his son along and even though I didn't actually care that Jason was gone, at least he would've helped tame his mother. She was like a wild beast ready to drink my blood.
I managed to stay out of Mrs. Astor's way almost the whole day by staying in my room when a maid knocked on my door.
"Miss Iris, Madam Astor is looking for you" she said and and I looked up from my physics textbook that I was busily reading.
"Me?" I asked and she nodded before exiting the room.
"What could she possibly want from me?" I asked myself before closing my book and going downstairs to see her sitting like a queen in the chair
"Come Iris" she ordered and I drawed near to her
"I'm still not clear with some things about you " she said as she pet the cat who layed on her lap like a baby.
"How pretty is your Mom?" She asked and I lifted a brow up
"I mean look at you, you look like a girl straight right out of a cover" she said and I gave her a small smile.
"Your skin is so smooth, not even a pimple on your face at this age and you glow everywhere" she kept on saying and I wondered where all this flattering was going to. Was she going to apologise?,I thought but she crashed everything by saying
"That's why I want you to keep your distance away from my son. He's handsome and all and attractive to most girls. Just keep your distance poor girl"she said the last part in a teasing tone and I clenched my first to help cool my anger.
"Anyway Iris Park That's not why I sent for you. You said your Dad bakes bread so I want to eat fresh bread baked by you right now" she said still petting her cat and I wondered what to do. I didn't know how to bake bread.
I was sent to the kitchen and she sat on a chair a bit further away. I just stood there not knowing how to even start, was she really gonna watch me bake?. I knew the ingredients involved but not the process. To make myself look busy I started taking the ingredients to use that is the flour, egg, milk and etc.
But after that my next big question was
"What next?"
I saw some maids snickering and others even betting if I could really bake bread. What a messed up life. But the scariest part was when Mrs. Astor gave a wicked grin
***JASON ASTOR ***
I arrived home earlier than father because he had other things to take care of. I entered to hear Mom yelling from the kitchen and saw a maid running away like the house was on fire.I stood infront of her to stop her and she suddenly stopped like a braking car.
"What the hell is going on?" I asked and she looked like she was gonna pass out
"It's the Madam, she's teaching Miss Iris a lesson" she said and I thought I had heard wrongly
"Teaching Iris a lesson?" I barked angrily as I watched the maid nod like she was about to faint
I almost ran to the kitchen and saw a bunch of maids and butlers packed infront of the door blocking my view inside and I stood infront and looked at them devilishly
"Move" I said in a commanding tone and they all rushed to the side while saying their apologies. Just a step into the kitchen and what met me was horrible
Mom was yelling at Katie who stood completely still with her head bowed not saying a word. Mom looked pissed and threw a bowl of flour on Katie making her covered from head to toe in flour
