Chapter 52 Misunderstanding
“I’ll go!”
The moment Gervis turned his head, he was stunned. He couldn't understand why the person who was massaging his arms changed from Butler Thomas to a delicate little maid. It was too embarrassing.
"Ahem... Ahem, you go wait for me at the door first, I'll put on my clothes!"
Gervis was a little embarrassed, but he calmed down in an instant. Having been the lord for so many days, he felt that he had enough experience and could handle this matter completely, so he prepared to let Anna wait outside the room until he got dressed, so that he could pretend nothing had happened.
But just as Gervis finished speaking, a layer of mist rose on the bright eyes of the delicate little maid, and a few tears swirled in her eye sockets, as if they were about to burst out.
Plop~
Anna knelt on the ground, her eyes red as she pleaded with Gervis anxiously: "My Lord, I know I was wrong. Please don't chase me away. I will definitely rub your arm hard."
Anna was very frightened. The lord had asked her to give him a massage, but she had not served him well because of her lack of strength. Now the lord was angry, and she felt that her career as a maid might end today.
But she needed this maid job very much, because yesterday when the news of her and Yura becoming maids in the castle was spread, those neighbors who had never been to her house came to her house one after another, and they all brought gifts, such as a piece of bread, a few eggs, a piece of dried meat, etc. This was a feeling Anna had never experienced before.
The most important thing is that the neighbors have actually agreed that each household will lend some money to Anna's mother for medical treatment and medicine. Anna's mother's disease is actually very common. Brian, the only doctor in the town, has already diagnosed it. However, in order to cure it, a more expensive medicine is needed, at least two silver coins.
Two silver coins were a huge sum of money for Anna's already poor family. Moreover, the only pillar of the family had fallen, and the whole family had no source of income. Her mother's illness could only be delayed, and it became more and more serious. If it was delayed for another month or two, her life might be in danger.
Now the neighbors would give twenty copper coins to Anna or ten copper coins to her mother in one night. Yura's father also agreed to take the money to buy medicine for Anna in a nearby town today.
Anna's mother is already being taken care of by someone. Her neighbor's aunt has also come to her house and will help Anna take care of her mother during this period of time. As for the wages, Anna can pay them as she sees fit.
Anna knew that all this was due to the transformation she had experienced as a maid in the castle.
If she thought it didn't matter whether she became a maid or not during the selection yesterday, but after experiencing those incredible things last night, Anna knew that she needed the job of a castle maid.
She knew that if she lost her identity as a maid in the castle, then the neighbors would definitely ask her to return the money they lent to her mother for medical treatment as soon as possible, because this might be the only chance to cure her mother.
If her mother's illness could not be cured as soon as possible and something unexpected happened, Anna couldn't imagine what kind of nightmare she would be trapped in.
Gervis was confused. "Where is my Lordship experience? Isn't this a slap in the face? I just asked you to leave for a while."
Seeing the little maid about to cry, Gervis felt a bit overwhelmed. In his previous life, he was most afraid of women crying, and now the girl in front of him was a delicate little maid. Gervis felt that he was an unforgivable criminal, and he seemed to have become a typical bully lord.
"My lord, please give me another chance, my lord!" Anna lowered her head. Seeing that Gervis did not respond for a long time, she thought that Gervis had decided to drive her out of the castle, so she ignored her.
For the sake of her mother, Anna risked angering the lord and pleaded for herself again.
"I just want to put on my clothes. It's not convenient for me to put them on while you're here. Go wait for me at the door. I won't chase you away."
Gervis was a little helpless, not knowing why this delicate little girl thought he was trying to drive her away, so he explained softly.
Gervis had no idea that he thought the person who was massaging his arm was Thomas, so his words were mixed with a lot of harshness. If Thomas heard such a tone, he would not be frightened. After all, Thomas was already Gervis' confidant and knew his master's temper.
But the person who just rubbed Gervis' shoulders was Anna, who was a maid on her first day. In Anna's opinion, Gervis's complaints had successfully angered the lord, and she cared about this job very much now. Her preconceived ideas led Anna to over-thinking.
Looking at Anna with tears in her eyes, Gervis thought he was a kind-hearted person, but he was not used to a strange girl helping him to put on his clothes. So he got off the bed, put his hands on Anna's shoulders, and prepared to help Anna up and rush out the door first, and then explain to her after he put on his clothes. After all, he was only wearing a pair of shorts, which was very indecent.
Gervis placed his hands on both sides of Anna's shoulders, then slowly lifted the little maid Anna up from the ground.
Anna was frightened by Gervis's action, but she did not dare to resist. She could only think of her mother and let Gervis pull her up from the ground.
…
"Sir, someone outside the castle has reported... uh..."
Just as Gervis slowly pulled Anna up from the ground and was about to drive the maid out of the bedroom, Thomas' voice was heard at the door, but Thomas stopped halfway through his voice.
