❝ Fear❞
____________

I SAT AROUND THE LARGE TABLE, the feeling of starring in a disney movie was coming into my mind—almost making me laugh. The maids, all women, were standing around me, patiently waiting for me to compliment them,

Or fire them.

I didn't like how they were scared of each second, I didn't feel for them to be so fearful of everything—what did he even do to them?—I looked up at them-fear in their eyes.

"Don't any male workers work here?" I asked them, looking around. On hearing no reply, I turned to see them glancing at each other, probably puzzled. "Don't be so scared." I said, smiling.

They all turned to me, before their eyes frantically fell to the ground. "Uh, they do, but not in kitchen, sir doesn't like men' food." I turned to the owner of the voice, seeing one of them lightly smiling at me.

They all looked at each other again, "Oh." I nodded, turning to the food. I chuckled lightly at all the dishes placed in front me, "Don't you think this is too much for me?" They flinched. "Ah, no, no. Don't be scared, they look nice, but it would be good if you all eat too."

My amicable talk seemed to startle them, and my offer was even more amusing. They all shifted uncomfortably, gulping.

"Do—" A small cry interrupted my words, they all turned to the small girl, "Mom." She cried, clinging onto her mother's leg. The woman froze, trying to silence her.

"It's okay." I told her, grinning when the girl turned to me. I signalled her to come over to me, "Please forgive her." The mother cried, hugging her child as her eyes pleaded you.

"I'm not going to hurt her." I said, the girl walked to me, tears in her eyes and her nose red. I lightly patted her head, "What's wrong?" I asked her, bending to her height.

"I'm hungry." She confessed, rubbing her nose. I laughed lightly, pulling her to my lap. Some audible gasps could be heard, "I told you it's impossible for me to eat all these alone." I said, quite honestly, the large table was filled with different things to eat.

"Here." I said, placing the apple near her mouth.

They all seemed to get slightly comfortable,

Maybe I can win their hearts.

Hours passed, I spent my time roaming and touring the house and playing with the girl I found, my eyes shined under the chandelier lights, the house was amazingly pretty, I never thought that there could be a house that would bring me the Disney vibes.
