“Good evening, Mistress,” the servant greeted as Victoria descended the stairs.
“Mistress, your dinner is ready,” another servant said as they helped Victoria down to the kitchen.
Victoria was unsure of what was happening, she was assisted by the servant to her seat, where a variety of foods were presented.
“Mistress, all these foods will help speed up your recovery and boost your energy,” the servant explained.
“What is going on?” Victoria asked in confusion.
“We serve the mistress of the house,” the respectful servant who was attending to her replied.
“Mistress of the house?!” Victoria exclaimed in surprise.
“The master said you are his wife, forgive us for our shortcomings when we did not assist you in the hands of Celia,” a humble servant requested for forgiveness.
“Mistress, please forgive us,” the other servants surrounding her said in unison before bowing down together.
Victoria was shocked, ‘I never expected the Tyrant Boss to actually admit that I am his wife,’ she thought and then smiled. “What is your name?” she asked the attendant.
“Mistress, you can call me Number 3, each servant does not use names, we are based on numbers according to our recruitment process,” she explained before pausing as the door at the back of the villa opened and three people entered.
Number 3 explained as the three entered, “Number 1 and 2 were the ones who helped Celia, but I hope the mistress doesn’t take offense. We only follow the head servant, but now Celia has been dismissed and Number 0 has taken her place as the new head servant appointed by the master.”
Victoria nodded in understanding of the situation as the three approached and politely asked for forgiveness.
“Mistress, please forgive me for my earlier wrongdoing, I was only following the head servant’s orders,” said Number 1 and 2 in unison.
“I am Number 1,”
“I am Number 2,”
“We are the closest companions of the head servant, our task is to assist the head servant in making her work easier,” they both explained.
Victoria was pleased with the two, impressed by how well they understood each other as if they had telepathy between them.
“Mistress, I am the new head servant, you may call me Patty. I have been serving the master and the villa for a long time, feel free to ask me any questions,” Patty explained.
“You two are amazing, speaking in sync without interrupting each other, it’s like you have telepathy,” Victoria said with a smile.
“Mistress, those two are twins and were born with a close connection, so they know when and who should speak and what should be said,” explained Number 3.
“Okay, let the Mistress finish eating first, you can return to your posts,” Patty ordered the other servants.
“Wait, hold on, don’t leave yet,” Victoria said and stopped them from leaving.
“Mistress, do you need anything else?” Number 3 asked.
Victoria shyly smiled, “This is the first time I’ve joined such a grand feast, I don’t know what utensils to use for eating-” she paused, not wanting to talk about her past experiences.
Number 3 immediately understood what Victoria meant, “Number 7, please assist the Mistress.”
Number 7 approached, saying, “Mistress, I am Number 7, let me guide and train you in table manners. I will teach you what should and shouldn’t be done. Before serving in this villa, I worked in a high-end restaurant so I have knowledge in these matters,” she explained.
“Mistress, every servant has their own abilities in which we excel, though we are servants of the family we are carefully chosen by the master and placed according to the level of our skills,” explained Number 3.
Victoria looked at Number 7, “Didn’t you say you used to work at a high-end restaurant? Shouldn’t your salary be higher there than here?” Curiously asked Victoria.
Number 7 smiled, “Mistress, if you don’t know, the master pays us a higher salary than our previous job, and it also depends on the abilities we possess. Although the master may be cold and intimidating, he treats us like humans unlike those who pretend to be kind on the surface but trample on our dignity. In truth, the master is more of a sheep in wolf’s clothing than those who are wolves disguised as sheep,” explained Number 7.
Victoria nodded, seeming to have understood, ‘It seems that I misunderstood Lucas,’ she thought.
“Mistress, let’s start now,” Number 7 said.
“Mistress, if there is anything you want to know, please just ask me in the future or ask Number 3, who will be your personal servant,” Patty explained before signaling to return to their positions.
Victoria nodded to Patty and thanked her before beginning to listen to Number 7’s instructions and gradually learning how to use various tableware.
Meanwhile, on the upper floor of the villa, Lucas watched what was happening below and smiled when he saw Victoria’s innocent gestures and her seriousness while listening to Number 7’s teachings.
After a few moments, he returned to his room and studied and planned for the company, so he worked until midnight
As he checked his phone and saw that it was already midnight, stretched before closing his laptop.
He emerged from his room to see what Carla was up to. He knocked on her door, “Are you still awake?” He asked in a cold voice, but no one responded.
Knock! Knock!
He knocked again, but still no answer. He was about to leave when he caught sight of something from the corner of his eye.
Downstairs, he saw Victoria studying with other servants. He observed closely and noticed a servant teaching her how to act like a wealthy lady, from walking to carrying herself as a rich person.
Lucas could clearly see that Victoria had been studying for a while now, as she was drenched in sweat and fatigue was evident on her entire face. But she still had a smile on her lips.
After mimicking what the servants had taught her, Victoria bowed to show her gratitude. Lucas watched the process, noticing that as soon as one finished teaching, another would take their place to instruct on something else.
Lucas’s phone rang, displaying an unfamiliar number. He answered before hearing the familiar voice, “Boss, we are in the location where we are supposed to meet. The plan was successful. Check the internet, the embarrassing video and pictures are already spreading.”
Upon hearing this, Lucas smiled before checking the internet. He saw that the embarrassing video of the real daughter of the Casella family, Victoria’s foster sister, along with the nude photos, was indeed circulating on the internet. In the video, she could be seen engaging in intimate acts with three men, clearly enjoying herself as she alternated between the three.
Lucas decided not to continue watching the video. He smiled coldly before replying to the call, “Well done, just wait, someone will send the ticket to you.” He said coolly before ending the call.
“A ticket to hell!” he muttered.
