Chapter 177: The woman in the manor (2)
"I still cannot believe I have gotten a job working in the manor of Rafael Callahan. My mother did not believe me when I told her the head maid told me to come today," said Olivia.
"It is not hard to find work here if you approach Rafael. Tell him you are in desperate need of work and he would tell you to come to his manor. That is how a few of the servants found work here. There was once a time he had more servants than he needed, but since they were in need of money and had nowhere else to work, he kept them," Heidi said, falling in love with him all over again.
"It must be his humble beginnings that make him so kind. No one would want to lose so much money to keep servants they do not need. I am yet to see him up close. I wish I could have served him dinner," Olivia said, touching her heated cheeks.
Annalise felt bad for Olivia who had no idea what Rafael was really like. Being close to him wasn’t as good as she thought. Who wanted to be around someone who liked to bring up someone being a pervert so many times?
Then Rafael’s kindness made her sick. She was supposed to hate everything about him, but how was she supposed to hate a man who was kind to everyone around him? Kind to her to be offering his food and buying her treats. She wanted it to stop and for him to start being cruel. Then she could have something to hate.
Annalise turned to face the wall, wanting to hit her head against it to fix her thoughts. She was still haunted by Rafael appearing in her mind when she had been underwater. If he started to appear in her dreams, she was going to take a knife and march right up to his room.
"Has there been any talk about him getting married? Everyone is looking forward to his wedding since the king and nobles might come to the manor. I hope I am lucky to be here to serve the king. I hear he might marry Delilah-"
A loud snort coming from Annalise interrupted Olivia. Annalise waved her hand to apologise since her mouth did not want to work. If she opened it, she would end up laughing. Hearing that Rafael might marry Delilah was hilarious.
"Don’t mind her. She’s not the right person to talk to about relationships and getting married. Also, when it comes to dresses, she is boring," Heidi said, stepping in front of Annalise to hide her laughter from Olivia so she wouldn’t feel bad. "I doubt Rafael will be getting married soon, but if he does, it might not be Delilah. They always seemed like siblings."
