Chapter 214: Mistress In Danger (2/2)

*Yaing from the direction they were going and they needed to keep up their facade and make sure no one was catching onto anything.

”Hey, Abby, do you remember where your room was and how to get there from here?” Jayden whispered in a low voice, talking fast so she could receive the information before they turn the corner and see the 2 servants discussing.

”Left, Right, Left, skip a turn the go right, skip 2 then go left and my room should be right there,” Abby responded with no hesitation, Jayden nodding back to her with an okay, completely amazed by Abby's memorization skills since she knew that it was her first time in years in her family mansion.

Jayden even doubted that she would be able to be even half as good at giving directions in her own family mansion that she was no doubt more familiar with.

”It's only for 1 more night, I think they're giving us a day off tomorrow. They're probably going to get next weeks servants here early to give us a break,”

”Really? That would be heavenly!”

As soon as the two men turned the corner, their expression immediately tensed up, not a single word being uttered from their mouths as they both took a deep bow with a hint of embarrassment as they did not at all expect such a person to be walking in this section of the mansion that was usually reserved for only servants.

A few meters away from them walked 2 people, both of whom they recognized, nervous sweat running down their face that was looking intently at the red carpet ground below them.

”Greetings young mistress Abby, it is an honour to be in your presence,” They both spoke at the same time, completely in sync.

”Thank you so much for your kind words!” Abby nodded at them with a smile.

The 2 men had a hard time believing their eyes as they struggled to control their breathing.

The second person they noticed was someone that they knew all too well, a person who had just recently joined the workforce at the same time as them, and from the few moments they had seen each other, they were more than able to know that he was an absolute degenerate scum unlike they had ever seen before. They could not believe or fathom that someone like him was put in charge of escorting the young miss, there must have been something wrong, maybe she was being taken hostage. All that they knew was that there was no way that he was not harbouring any ill intention towards her, something that they inwardly and morally could not bear.

They both looked at each other with a nod of mutual understanding, they needed to save her, they were both more than willing to risk their positions in the household.

Not only so they could receive money and compensation for their quick thinking and bravery which was definitely part of it, but because they genuinely did not want to see her hurt.

Although they were new servants, they were well aware of the hatred and history behind who Abby was. But, unlike most other servants, since they were new, it was easier to disregard those facts and look at what she was today. And from how she had treated them earlier, she seemed to be an extremely kind, caring soul and they could not bear to see her raped or even hurt.

”Preston! There you are! What do you think you're doing here! You were supposed to be back at the kitchen ages ago! The head chef was looking all over for you and is damn near ready to kill you!” One of them spoke, lifting his head as he stared at Preston's smug-looking, deep green, confident eyes which made his blood boil, concealing it under his serious expression.

The man was in fact not lying, Preston did not belong to the team that would remain in the dining room on standby but to the team that would constantly go in and back in and out the kitchen to bring the food, meaning that he clearly went against orders.

His friend's quick thinking made the other man have a smile on his face as he had completely forgotten that the chef mentioned such a thing.

”Oh, I deeply apologize for that, I was actually on my way back when young mistress Abby personally requested me to be her escort around the mansion. Can you please pass that message on from me to the chef? That would be much appreciated, I'm sure he would understand,” Jayden replied with a casual smile that had a hint of nervousness.

The two men's eyes immediately went wide, filled with shock and disbelief that they were not able to keep suppressed as they struggled to speak out any words, their eyes immediately shifting towards Abby to see her expression and if Preston was in fact telling the truth.

”What's with the weird looks? What's going on? If you are wondering if what he said is true then yes, I asked him to be my escort, do you have any objections?” Abby asked with a face filled with confusion and a hint of authority, making both men become extremely tense, even more sweat running down their faces as it now looked almost like a flowing river.

”N-no! Not at all, young miss! We were just nervous and honoured in your presence. We promise we meant you no such offence my lady…” The other man spoke, their gaze once again shifted back towards the ground, drops of sweat going on the crimson carpet below.

”It's fine, I know that you meant no such thing. I will be off now, please resume your work!”

Although they were not able to see Abby's face, they felt the warmth and kindness in her voice, making them feel even more regretful for not calling out Preston when they had the chance, all due to their fear and nervousness at the time.

”Thank you for your kind words young lord Abby! We promise that we will not let you down or disappoint you!” They both spoke in unison once more, completely in sync as they looked up only to see Abby and Preston's backs walking in the distance.

Taking long, deep breaths they both took a look at each other with a serious yet gloomy look on their face.

”Bro… We need to do something, I really can't let this slide… I know what this man is like... I know what he does... I swear if he even touches the young mistress, I'm gonna-”

”Yeah I do too and I feel the same way, but we need to calm down a bit. We don't have any evidence against him but we would be able to not only fire him but end his entire bloodline if we caught him trying anything on the young miss. He deserves it and the young miss is too innocent to realize his true intentions. It's not just about the possible rewards,”

”Agreed, hopefully, the chef won't be too angry if we're a bit late… let's follow them from afar…”

Nodding at each other with a solemn glint in their eyes, they both made up their minds to ignore their current orders in order to trail them both from a distance just in case Preston tried to pull anything on their young mistress, something they were almost certain that he would do...
