She looked around all the corridors, it's clear.
she slipped from room to corridor and corridor to room, she felt like she was in a maze, how did he do this everyday?
As if a gust of wind, a maid showed up out of nowhere, almost giving Buttercup a heart attack. Buttercup put a hand over her chest, showing how surprised she was.
'Oh I'm sorry Miss...'
'Utonium.' Buttercup responded with a a straight tone, flashing a 'it's okay' smile. "Miss Utonium, I was wondering if you were looking for the bathroom?  Mr Jojo told me that he wanted you to feel right in home, and once I figured you weren't in bedroom, that you were probably roaming around. Oh, I'm Marie,  by the way.' The maid, Marie, put her hand out, expecting a shake?
Buttercup shook Marie's hand uneasily, unsure of what was going on?
Marie seemed to be a pretty young girl, maybe even younger than her? She was dressed in a mid-length dress and had a white apron on, she could see the straight iron-imprints on it.
Butch knew she wasn't staying for long right? This was weird, he didn't need to ask his maids to serve her too. This wasn't her house, and last night wasn't supposed to happen anyway.
Last night...
What actually happened?
'Umm, thanks Marie. I just need to find the front door, I need to get to work.' Buttercup said, looking around to see if there was any hint of where she was. Instead, all she saw was the identical walls of each corridor.
'Oh, that's easy, just follow me.' Marie responded. Buttercup felt odd that she didn't recognise any of these rooms that she was walking by. Her bruise from a few days was getting better, and she could definitely keep up with Marie.
They walked past many corridors, until Maries half-turned her head to Buttercup, 'Will you be needing the car? Mr Jojo didn't take the car today, he said you might have needed it so he didn't want to inconvenience or trouble you.'
Trouble? After everything he helped her with?
'Oh I don't think so, my work place isn't so far anyway, just a small walking distance.' Buttercup shut her down abruptly, and Buttercup wondered if she said it too impolitely. Marie persisted.
'Oh I insist, I'm sure it'll be even quicker with the car.' She said, waving a hand at Buttercup, assuring her. Buttercup nodded as Marie focused on leading her out of this 'maze'.
They had been walking for a considerable time until they reached the front entrance. 'John the chauffeur will take you to your workplace, don't worry, just tell him where.'
Why was she so friendly? What was Butch's main objective? Get back with her and rekindle their relationship?
Umm... not gonna happen.
She already had a boyfriend who loved her and a roof over their head. What's more to ask for?
