Embrace Of The Lucifer novel Chapter 7

August.

Martha told me that Mr. & Mrs. Knight were coming back from their business trip. She was going to introduce me to them. I’m very anxious. Martha told me that I had to behave as best as I could. I quickly went to washed my hands and clean myself. I looked like a mess!

“August! Where are you?” Martha yelled. I quickly ran towards her. “There you are. Come on you have to be quick. Master and Mrs. Knight are coming and if we don’t welcome them properly, they will get angry” she said in a quick pace. I nodded my head and followed her to the living room. As I reached the living room, I saw a lady sitting on the sofa while a man who looked like he was his late 50′s was sitting beside her, discussing something with her. I stood behind Martha feeling nervous.

“Hello Mr. & Mrs. Knight, I’m happy you could make it here safely” I heard Martha said softly to them. “Hello Martha, how has the house been. We didn’t have time to call you since the moment we left” the lady said. I saw from the corner of my eyes; Mrs. Knight was smiling at Martha while Mr. Knight was busy on his phone.

“Who’s this behind you Martha?” she asked. I froze in my spot and gulped. I was very nervous and petrified.

“Oh, ma’am this is August. she is the new maid here. I had told you about her employment” Martha said. She moved aside so that Mrs. Knight could see me. My face had turned red as I took a step forward, looking down.

“H-hello ma’am, hello S-Sir” damn my stuttering.

“Hello dear, how are you doing?” she asked me with a heart-warming smile which I returned gladly. “I-I’m good” I replied quietly.

“Well. I don’t like people who stutter like a loser” Mr. Knight spoke up. I gulped in fear. He didn’t like my stuttering.

“I’m sorry Sir” I replied and was happy that I didn’t stutter that time. He just gave me a cold stare and nodded his head while Mrs. Knight gave me a sad smile. “You both should get back to work and Martha please cancel all the calls and meetings. We’re very tired and want to rest for a few hours and at exactly 8pm I want our dinner ready” she said smiling and walked away with her husband. I sighed deeply. I could not do anything without messing it up.

“It’s okay honey. You don’t have to be sad. Master has been like this since forever. Don’t be sad just make sure you behave properly in front of him next time.” she said patting my shoulder.

“A-and how is Mrs. Knight?” I asked following her towards the kitchen.

“She is a very nice woman with a very welcoming nature. She is always nice to all of us no matter what. She has never been arrogant and treats us very well” she replied. I see, ma’am is actually a very nice woman.

“So, all of their children are like their dad?” I asked.

She paused what she was doing and turned around “Master Lucifer is the exact copy of his father, they both are the same. Ignorant and cold-hearted. And as well as Hazel and Nathan. They both are arrogant and rich brats who care for none.” Nathan must be the one who was at the dining table when I dropped the glass full of water on Miss Hazel on my very first day.

“Except for one” she said all of a sudden snapping me out of my thoughts. “Who?” I questioned.

“Ebenezer. He is just like Mrs. Knight more like a shadow of her. He’s kind hearted just like his mom and the second child of the Knight family after that Nathan and Hazel were born. I remember when I first entered in this house. I was just 25 years old. Ma’am helped me with so many things and Ebenezer treated me like his second mother. He is a true example of a gentleman.” I stayed silent listening to her blabbering. Is he really that good?
