Chapter 343: New member (3)
When Rafael agreed to let Annalise have her beloved pets in his manor, he hadn’t thought she would find one the moment they returned. He had it planned out that she would put the room together first and then go looking for what she wanted to put inside the room.
It was only the first day and the maid assigned to cleaning this room would be having a heart attack when she returned. It might end up that Annalise would have to clean this room herself as the maids would be too afraid to enter.
Rafael wasn’t afraid of spiders, but he didn’t want to come in this room now and later when Annalise would add more pets. He loved everything about Annalise except this side of her.
"I have to say your reaction to seeing him was a little rude, Rafael. You need to work on that," Annalise said, taking the spider to a wall for it to have fun moving around. "You might have hurt its feelings."
"Forgive me for not saying hello when a spider was pushed toward my face. How careless of me," Rafael replied, keeping his distance to let Annalise play with her spider. Never would he have imagined needing to apologise to a spider. "We’ve not been back for long. Where did you get a spider?"
"Since I worked here as a maid, this room was never used. It must have been living here and escaping whoever cleans the room. Honestly, this shouldn’t be counted as the pet I wanted to have since this one already lives in the room. It lives in the room so I can’t send it away," Annalise said, trying her best to convince Rafael to get another.
"That’s not working on me, Annalise. We should start with only one before you have this room filled with all kinds of creatures. How did your talk go with your friend from a moment ago?" Rafael asked, curious as to whether it went positive or negative. "I’m sorry for interrupting, but it also looked like she was scared."
"Because of the spider. Heidi doesn’t like them. My talk with Heidi went well. Not so much with Cara who needs some space but I don’t mind. I would like to make Heidi my maid. Cara is already working as your maid and I feel comfortable with Heidi. I will tell Mavis after breakfast. Wasn’t her reaction to our relationship funny?" Annalise asked, chuckling as she remembered Mavis’s face from earlier.
"I hope we have not broken my head maid. I don’t want to have to look for another. Will you be packing your clothes here or in my bedroom?" Rafael asked, preferring to have her things in his bedroom.
