Accidentally MAID

Twenty One

Briar's POV

She and the rest of her on-call crews are busy decorating the reception banquet. 

The tables, the chairs, the centerpiece, and the table settings.

She supervised the people. After a few hours, the place is ready for tonight's wedding reception.

The food caterer is well informed, so she will just call the head when the wedding is almost finished so they can prepare the tables for dinner.

The beauticians will arrive in Caren's place after lunch.

"Jenny, I'll go to the waterfall to check how they are doing," she told Jenny.

"Sure, I'll take care of the rest in here. By the way, your clothes are in your car when you need to change later," Jenny replied.

"Thank you, Jen," she said. 

"You're welcome. You better go now so you have enough time to change and enhance that beauty of yours," Jenny said, smiling.

"See you later," she said and turned on her heel to leave the place.

"See you!" Jenny replied.

She hops into her car and heads to the waterfalls. Though she already instructed her people what they should do, she still wants to make sure that there's no problem that will arise. She can't predict and avoid the natures' activities; if ever, at least she did what is best. She prayed for the good weather and is still praying.

After almost an hour of driving, she arrived at the waterfalls. The new waterfalls look better than they did before. The new pathway they have covered with gravel and sand is now covered with green carpet to the falls. And both sides were adorned with beautiful white lilies. And at both ends was the arc of beautiful roses with many colors. So beautiful, like you're entering the enchanted place.

She walks to the inside and is satisfied with what she saw. She could hug her crews for being good at following instructions.
Well, of course, they were working with her since she started. She never treated them badly; that's why her goodness is returned. She loves all the people who are working with her, and they love her back. They are her partners in this business. 

She claps her hands, and the boys turn around, smiling at her.

"I love you guys; this is the amazing job you all have done here," she said.

"We're just doing what you have instructed us, Miss Briar," one of the crew told her.

"Yes, but without your heart in doing the things I asked you to do, the result wouldn't be like this," she said, turning around the place. 

"It's enchanted," she continued.

"We are happy that we passed." One other crew smiled at her.

"Guys, have you had your lunch yet?" She asked them.

She assigned two to decorate this place and the other two in the reception.

"We have our food in the car," one of them answered.

"Good. Eat your lunch first. This place is perfect," she told them.

" Thank you, Ms. Briar, we'll take our lunch now, how about you, have you had your lunch before coming here." Another one asks her.

"I had," she replied.

She actually hasn't eaten yet; she will take a light lunch later when she's back at her studio.

The two crews left to eat their lunch. It's in the pickup truck they were using for carrying all this stuff.

She left alone in what now turned out to be an enchanted place.

Walking in an enchanted place like this is so heavenly. She can't stop smiling.

She is walking slowly towards the front where the altar is situated. She is imagining that she's the bride walking towards her waiting groom, but who could be the groom? She has no boyfriend?

The face of the man in the villa where she volunteered to clean suddenly appeared in her thoughts. Even though she's been very busy with the preparation of Josef and Caren's wedding, he hasn't left her mind; she's a hypocrite if she denies that she's attracted to the man. He has been there since the first time she saw him.

But she doesn't know him. She doesn't even know if he's single. Even if he is single, their status in life is too far. He is wealthy. They are in opposite worlds. She heaves a sigh.

She has reached the altar when her phone rings. She answered the call.

"Jen?" She mentioned the name of her assistant and friend.

"Are you done there? You need to eat your lunch too," Jenny reminded her.

"Yes, and it's magnificent!" She exclaimed.

"I can't wait to see it. But come back now and have your lunch," Jenny said.

"Okay, I'll be there," she replied.

After talking with Jenny, she takes one more glance at the place as a whole. From top to the ground. She admired her crew for what they had done in this place. She loves it. If she has a groom, she wanted to get married in this place too. 

She smiles thinking about it. How possible is it? She has no boyfriend. She shakes her head and turns to the exit. She has to go back to her studio and have lunch. 

They have three more hours to prepare before the wedding. 

As she set her foot outside the road, she could see the two boys coming. 

"Ms. Briar, are you going back now?' asks one of them.

"Yes, I have to be there," she replied.

"Take care, Ms. Briar," said the other.

"Thank you, guys. Have you finished your lunch?" She asks.

"Yes, we're done." They replied in unison.

"That's good; you two rest first since you're all done. Just wait for the ceremony later to light up the candles for the pathways," she said.

"Thank you, Ms. Briar. We will stay at the falls; it's good to stay there. The water is so relaxing," one said.

"That's true; I love it there too," she replied.

"Well, see you later, guys; I have to go now." She continued

"Okay, Ms. Brair, see you later,both replied.

After talking with the two boys, she gets in her car and starts the engine. She has to be there at her studio. She has to eat lunch first. She hasn't had proper food for the last few months. 

She has many bookings. Actually, after this wedding, she's in her next two more weddings to cater.
