Chapter 278 – I Also Heard it From my Father (1/2)
“If you keep pouring piss into your mouth, I’m going to feed you dog shit for lunch tomorrow!”
“There’s clearly a way, yet you keep putting it off, what are you waiting for?”
“A second way? What a joke! Half a year will pass in a blink of an eye, you won’t find a second way even if you wrack your brains.”
“Pervert, are you listening to me?”
Higgins sneaked a look and understood what was happening.
That poor boy called Lin Xiao that was sitting across of him wanted to drink. He was seemingly in a bad mood and was going to chug an entire cup of strong champagne, opposite to him, his maid forcibly snatched his cup while impudently reprimanding him.
Listening to this, people who didn’t know would think she was the master and that kid was the servant… this was the first time Higgins met a maid that dared to be so fierce towards their master and was momentarily shocked.
“Beautiful…”
Watching her fiercely scold him, Higgins couldn’t help but be captivated.
Not only did she look good with her silver hair and red eyes, she also had a great figure! She was incomparable to a normal girl!
How was this a maid? She was clearly a goddess!
Higgins could only hate himself that he wasn’t her master, if he was the one who was being scolded instead of that bastard, how nice would that be…
“Hey, Higgins, w-what are you staring at?” His companion waved his hand in front of his eyes.
“You like her? Then go invite her, weren’t you bothered that you didn’t have a dance partner? She’s just a maid, what, are you afraid she’s going to reject you?” His companion saw through him and began instigating him, “That useless master wouldn’t dare talk back, he’s just a commoner. He’s probably using the fact that he helped her as an excuse to bother ShenDai Ying and she had no choice but to reluctantly invite him to the banquet, he can’t compare to you at all!”
“Right… hehe.” Higgins cleared his throat, summoned his courage, and prepared to act under the encouragement of his companion.
He tidied up his stylish clothes, fixed his bangs and stood up. He slowly approached Elena, who looked like she was about to murder someone, and gently called out to her.
“Miss beautiful maid, hello.”
“Lin Xiao, can you just do something? Don’t think I’m going to keep watching over you, I’m not going to be your maid forever!”
Elena was still angrily scolding Lin Xiao, it was always her that was being bullied and lectured by him, so now that the roles were reversed, she wouldn’t miss the opportunity and enjoyed towering above him and pointing out his waste of a life.
“Uh… this charming maid, I…”
“You damn pervert, I… eh?”
“Were you talking to me?” Elena turned her head and coldly asked.
“Y-yes… I was.”
When he was suddenly glared at, Higgins felt a sudden chill and couldn’t help but take a step back. If it wasn’t for his companion supporting him, he even would have wanted to escape.
This woman was so beautiful, yet why was she so frightening when she gets angry? Like an angry lioness, the aura she was letting out didn’t even feel human, more like a terrifying demonic beast from the forest.
“Oh, what do you want?”
Since they were at a table full of nobles, Elena understood that she had to retract her arrogant tone and pleasantly deal with them.
Of course, her pleasant appearance was no different than a poker face to anyone else. If it wasn’t because Higgins found her too beautiful, he would have already left.
“… May I please get this beautiful lady’s name?” Higgins forced himself to maintain his smile and asked like a gentleman.
This was a way he often used to hit up girls, when they see his handsome appearance and smile, he would lead them by the nose, but not today.
“I’m master’s maid.”
Elena paused, thought for a bit and responded like that.
“Puh… cough.” Higgins almost choked and glared at his giggling companions behind him and then continued asking, “No, miss maid, I was asking for your name, not your identity. A beautiful girl like you must have a beautiful name, right?”
Compliments hiding his intent and perfectly used flattery… Higgins didn’t believe she wouldn’t take it.
Seeing that he had no malicious intent and his perverted master finally settled down, Elena was finally relieved.
“I’m called Elena.”
“Oh, Elena… your name is just as beautiful as you are!”
