I woke up in the morning with sleepy eyes though I slept for almost ten hours. I even skipped dinner last night and no one come to call me. I checked my phone but there was no missed calls. I dragged myself into the bathroom, I go through my morning routine then grabbed a cream colored high–low chiffon dress. The front was to knee length and the back it was to my ankle. At the top, it was off shoulders and had a tie at the front chest. I brushed my hair and left it open and it was laying on my back freely. I put on my three inches nude heels after applying a lil gloss and a light pink blusher on my cheeks. I grabbed my phone and went downstairs.

"Good morning Zoe. Where's everyone?" I asked one of the house maids who was doing her morning routine of cleaning the decors in the corridors of the house.

"Good morning Miss. They are in the dinning room currently."

"Thanks!"

"Always welcome Little madame. Have a great day!"

She turned around and went on cleaning the flowers vases and photo frames and I walked away to the dinning room.

"Good morning!" I greeted and Snowy jumped off her chair and come to hag my legs and she said, "good morning young mommy! I've missed you so much!" I kissed her forehead and then I looked at everyone present and that's when Anna and Ella also said, "good morning!" While mom just nodded her head and smiled at me when I looked at her. I sat at my usual chair as Helen come over to serve me breakfast. I was served two toast breads, deep fried Chicken breasts, strawberry yaughert and a bowl of mixed fruits.

"Thanks Helen! How was your day yesterday? I went to bed early so I didn't ask you!"

" I had a wonderful day madame. Enjoy your breakfast!" She said shacking as dad was looking at both of us.

"Am glad you had a good day Helen. And please don't call me that, am good with Sara!" I said as I cut a chunk of the chicken using a knife in my left hand and took it using a fork in my right hand and started chewing it.

Dad waved his hand at Helen and indicated for her to leave the room then he cleared his throat and spoke up, " I was very clear that there will be no close relationship between the Masters and the servants of this house wasn't I Sara?"

"How do you expect them to work peaceful without talking to us dad? They are helping us with the chores can't we do something in return for them huh? What will we lack if we make their working environment conducive until they feel this is home and they are doing the chores because it's home to them too and not just employees? I went on talking to him as I kept going deeper into my chicken.

" Still we have to keep a distance. There should be a different between the owners and the servants Sara!" This time Michal spoke up quoting dad's word at the end.

"They are also human beings Michal! This isn't about just owners and servants, they are our helpers helping us out because if they didn't offer that to us this house would be in a total mess! The legacy of colonialism where there is a gap between the Masters and the servants was over back then, centuries back!" Anna turned and was looking at Michal directly into his face. I really like it how Anna stands up for what's right.

The whole room was totally silent now. And dad spoke up again," I think that the girls are somehow right hmmm! And didn't I make myself clear that there wouldn't be discussions over any meal. We are hear to eat and leave for our daily work. No stories!"

" Only animals eat in silence! They too make sounds sometimes. What sort of life is this? We are also controlled on when and where you can talk and when you shouldn't talk!" I was really pisses with this and now that's been brought up, I'm not loosing this chance for sure!
