9 Dared not to say a word (1/2)

y the time Althea arrived at the mansion gates it was 11 am, she looked around her and she noticed that it was her first time that she has a good look at the garden it was a beautiful view and very huge there were various kinds of trees and flowers, her favorite was the lemon tree the smell that was emanating from it was very relaxing to her troubled mind she looked around her one last time before she made her way back to her room

after she changed her outfit into her work clothes she went straight to the kitchen after she entered the kitchen she saw lady Chou and anther maid working together ” need a help ”

” Althea welcome back ” but when Chou looked at the girl's eyes it was obvious that she was crying and by knowing Althea personality its best to not ask her about anything right now” yes, hurry and come over here we have a lot of work to do ”

” I see that you started to prepare the main dishes ” she looked at the pots

” yes, but I need you to prepare the dessert dishes do think that you can make these? ” lady Chou handed her a note paper she wrote the dishes names at it

Althea took the paper and read the names of the dishes

1.Castella

2.parfait

3.coffee jelly

she looked at the old lady with confound expressions on her face ” are you sure that you want to present these as a dessert?”

” yes, what is wrong with them? ” the old lady asked

” nothing, it's just its too easy to make them, ” Althea said

” if it's too easy then that is good, I know that you are very good at making desserts and bakeries so I expect you to make me very proud ” she gave her a look full of seriousness

everything was well-prepared lady Chou made sure that everything and everyone at his place, it wasn't her first time to prepare for a huge gathering but she was concerned about Althea she never worked in a place filled with vampires most of them will be a purebloods and nobles and what worried her more than her father might come tonight how she forget about an important detail like this, she hoped that nothing would go wrong

” lady Chou the dinner table is ready, do you need me to do anything else ” one of the maids asked but getting no response she tried to call her again ” lady Chou ”

the old lady finally got back to her senses ” what did you say ”

” I said that the dinner table is ready ” the maid repeated

” ok, you can leave now ” the maid nodded and left

after that lady Chou headed to the kitchen as soon she reached to entrance anther made came to her ” lady Chou some of the guests arrived ”

” ok, go notify the workers to take their places I don't want any mistake to be committed ” she warned

” understood ” the maid left to do as she's had been told

the old lady entered the kitchen she found Althea sitting on one of the wooden chairs reading a book ” Althea ”

the girl looked up from the book upon hearing her name ” yes ”

” could you please go and notify lord Kaname that the guests had arrived ”

the girl nodded her head and stood up she and headed the pureblood quarters at first she thought that she going to find him at his office but he was not there ” he must be in his bedroom ” she mumbled to herself and went there

Althea knocked on the bedroom door ” lord Kaname may I come in ” she asked politely, upon hearing the approval she pushed the door open

” good evening lord Kaname ”
