The days when I was a maid in another world

After the carriage finally stopped, the lord stepped over my skirt and got out first, and then stood by the door waiting for me.

I grabbed the hem of my skirt and struggled to get out of the car door. Seeing this, he stretched out a hand to help me. How could I let a man help me?So I pretended not to notice, and after a lot of effort holding the hem of my skirt with both hands, I finally got out of the carriage.

I never thought that shortly after my feet hit the ground, the first step I took almost fell down!Well, it doesn't matter if the heel is so high, and the skirt is so long, I accidentally tripped over it.

He quickly supported me with his eyes and hands, then gave me a faint look, and handed over his elbow.

I silently glanced at the crook of his arm, and my heart started to go crazy: Fuck, do you want me, a big man, to hold another man's arm?It's disgusting just thinking about it, okay?Will it be an eternal nightmare?

Seeing me motionless, he seemed a little impatient, frowned slightly, and said, "Donnie, we're in a hurry."

I curled my lips inwardly, took his arm in desperation, and followed him to the exquisite bungalow in front of me.

A guard at the gate stopped us, he saluted, and then said in a serious tone: "Sir, please show your invitation card."

The lord shrugged and said with a faint smile, "I don't have an invitation card. Go and tell your family that Edmund Tled Stirling is coming to visit."

He couldn't help being startled when he heard this, and after glancing at the lord, he hesitated for a moment before turning around and entering the gate.

I couldn't help but think to myself: Sterling came to someone's party without an invitation card, no matter how you look at it, he looks like a kicker.

After a while, the guard came back and said to the lord: "My lord said, welcome your visit! Please come in!"

The corners of Sterling's lips ticked slightly, and then he led me into the courtyard unhurriedly.After crossing the courtyard and entering the main entrance of the lobby on the first floor, a middle-aged man walked towards us.

"Sterling!" He yelled with a smile, "I thought you were still in Terai City and hadn't set off yet, otherwise I would have sent you the invitation card early in the morning."

Sterling replied with a smile: "Reynard, in fact, you can hold this party one day later, you know, I almost missed it!"

Leonard froze for a moment, then explained with a smile: "Today happens to be my daughter's birthday, so I held this small party, and I only planned to invite a few acquaintances to support the scene, it's great that you can come! "

Sterling did not continue to disrupt the stage. After the two exchanged greetings for a while, Leonard asked Sterling to sit aside.

I tried to recall it from the sidelines, and finally remembered why the name Leonard was familiar to me.Hayley mentioned when she told us about the red-haired beauty that Sterling's grandmother's sister married Leonard, the lord of Texas.

So, Leonard in front of you is the current lord of Texas?That is, the real father of the red-haired Madeleine?

I seem to know why Sterling came to kick the gym.Like a spy, Madeleine made a fuss in the Lord's Mansion, and she went there with Leonard's letter of recommendation.

One after another, more guests came to visit.Sterling stood up and greeted them. I smiled decently and remained silent, but I couldn't help but think to myself: So, Leonard invited several lords to the scene. What does he want to do?Could it be that they want to plot with these people how to deal with Sterling?I didn't see the note in the morning, but there are only six lords in this country except for the king, and now that Sterling is included in five, almost all the characters mentioned in the note have appeared.

After all the characters were seated, Leonard delivered a short speech, to the effect that he thanked everyone present for attending his daughter's coming-of-age ceremony.

The daughter he was talking about was naturally not Madeleine, but the 16-year-old Shirley, the youngest daughter who had the right to inherit.

After Leonard finished speaking, he called out his little daughter.When the beautiful girl stood on the middle stage, everyone was amazed.She bowed shyly, then stood aside obediently, waiting for her father to speak.

Leonard quite proudly introduced how good his daughter is, especially declaring that her daughter is quite accomplished in music, and then asked her daughter to perform a section for everyone in public.

Shirley nodded to her father, then walked to the piano and sat down, and then a series of notes sounded.

She plays very well and is very skilled. You can tell from her expression that she likes to play the piano.Watching such a beautiful and elegant little girl play is really a visual and auditory enjoyment.

Just as I was immersed in it, Sterling beside me suddenly asked in a low voice: "Donnie, do you want to eat oriental food?"

"Huh?" I didn't come back to my senses for a while.

He smiled meaningfully, and continued: "You miss the dishes of your hometown, right? After all, you have been away from your hometown for a long time."

Why did he mention this all of a sudden?I looked at him blankly on the surface, but I felt a whisper in my heart.

"If," he leaned closer to my ear, "you have any talent that can surpass that lady on stage, I will take you to eat all kinds of oriental delicacies tomorrow..."

I:"……"

Fuck, he is naked/naked temptation!Also, how can he be sure what talent I have?If you're just asking casually if you're not sure, why do you have to bring me here?Since it doesn't look like a coincidence, it's something to think about.

I can't just run up and hit the little girl in the face because of a stutter, right?She was only sixteen, the same age as Anna, and as pretty as a flower bud.

"Your debts to me can also be written off," he added. "From this month on, your salary will be paid in full."

This one is very tempting!If my salary is paid in full, I might be able to save Anna some money before I go.

"...I can play the piano." After hesitating for a while, I finally answered.

He smiled and seemed satisfied with my answer.At this time, Shirley just finished playing the song, and the audience applauded.Sterling raised his voice when the applause died down, "Miss Shirley, your piano sound is so beautiful, dreamlike and intoxicating!"

All the people present looked over, probably wanting to see what else Sterling would say.

Shirley got up and bowed to Sterling, and said politely, "Sir, you're flattering yourself."

Although Sterling was smiling all the time, he had a decent smile, coupled with a serious expression, as if he really wanted to discuss music.In front of everyone, he said it very naturally: "I like music, so I appreciate people who understand music, and I prefer to make friends with people who understand music, such as—" He turned his head and glanced at me, and then Pointing to me, she said to Shirley, "Miss Downey next to me is also a person who understands music, and she also likes to play the piano."

Shirley shifted her gaze to me and gave me a polite salute.Anyway, this is also a princess-level girl, and she is as beautiful as a porcelain doll. I always feel sorry for asking her to salute, so I quickly stood up and saluted.

"Miss Shirley, Donnie can play a nice piece of music, do you want to listen to it? I think you can have a good chat." Sterling continued to make nonsense.

I couldn't help shouting in my heart: Is this using me as a gun?And I'm sure now that he knows I can play the piano, otherwise why isn't he afraid that I'll screw things up?So who told him I could play the piano, was it Alger?

Shirley nodded, and then, as if she suddenly remembered something, she glanced at her father, and her father's expression was already very bad.

This kind of behavior that is obviously messing up the situation will not look good on anyone.

Sterling didn't care about Leonard's expression, and said to me in a voice that everyone could hear: "Donnie, play a good song, it's our birthday present to Miss Shirley."

Any birthday presents like this?Shirley may be young, and may not be deeply involved in the world, so she didn't understand it for a while, but which one of the people present didn't understand his intention?

"Yes." I had to bite the bullet and answer, and then went to the stage and sat in front of the piano in public.

After thinking about it again and again, I played a piece "Fantasy Impromptu" that I played when I was taking the tenth grade test.Shirley's level is already very high, and it's almost the same if she is less than tenth level, and because of her love for the piano, there will be better room for development.As for me, I was forced to practice by myself. Finishing the tenth level is already the limit.Playing this piece of music is because it is more sure, and the second is not to embarrass Shirley too much.

Alas, bullying a little girl is always unbearable to me. If it wasn't for another poor little girl, I wouldn't be a gunman for Sterling.

After I finished playing a song, it was equivalent to a slap in the face. The audience applauded symbolically a few times, and Leonard gave me a nonchalant glance, which made my heart tremble.

Shirley sincerely expressed her admiration, which made me even more embarrassed.I saluted her and quickly ran back to my seat.

"Very well." Sterling whispered with a smile.

I don't appreciate his compliments, and I can't wait to give him a hard look.

Leonard did not let his daughter show off his talents, but directly invited the guests to the restaurant for dinner.

Eating is a good thing, but unfortunately I can't eat with an open heart.Before coming here, Talis reminded me not to embarrass Sterling.So, I had to imitate the appearance of other ladies, clamp my armpit tightly, and use a knife and fork to feed food into my mouth bit by bit.

Perhaps because of the unexpected guest of Sterling, the other lords only chatted a few words occasionally, and the atmosphere of the whole dinner party was slightly depressed.

Sterling seemed to be in a good mood, smiling all the time, and eating with gusto.When everyone was silent, he suddenly said to Leonard: "Reynard, your daughter has grown up, do you have any idea who will be your son-in-law?"

Leonard's expression suddenly looked as if he had swallowed a fly, extremely ugly.He smiled embarrassingly, and said, "Shirley is still young, and I support young people to fall in love freely."

Don't say that Sterling will not believe what he said, even I don't believe it.If you support your daughter's free love, there is no need to hold this party, and then let your daughter show up and perform like a salesman.

Sterling winked at him, and joked: "The guests here today are either young and unmarried, or have young and unmarried sons. I thought you wanted to take this opportunity to choose a son-in-law!"

Leonard's complexion darkened a bit.

"It's a pity that it's not red hair," Sterling said regretfully, "otherwise I will try my best to get it."
