Chapter 68: Harassnt-IV
"I was told to clean the backyard." replied Elise, "Master Ian, I have sothing I want to ask to you can I have a little of your ti?"
"Why not?" he replied her question with another. When his hand reached out to rubbed her head and smoothened the end of her curly red hair, Elise felt a hamstring of her heart being tugged. Not daring to look properly to his eyes which she did nevertheless for her to see the sweet smile that was both mischievous and mysterious.
"I also have a few things I would have to talk with you about yesterday and more other things. But first go back and resu your work and co back after dinner ti." He then looked toward Aryl who was confused of how a chick suddenly appeared to understand that the Demon had turned grim reaper to a small chick. "You co with ." Ian stated, his words were directed to Aryl who then give a nod. As Ian left the garden, Elise could still feel her heart skipping beats from his littlest movents he had made.
Now that she was alone, Elise mulled over the grim reaper who called his own na as Hallow and the fact he said that she shouldn't be able to see grim reapers. What made her different? She wondered to find no answer. Once Elise wrapped up cleaning the garden, she went back to the backyard where she had hanged her laundry for it to dry when she noticed how a large commotion had happened near the place where she hanged her clothes.
Four of won clothed in black maid uniform stood across the drying stand. Two of the maids were her friends Carn and Vella while the other two was Nancy and Lena. It wouldn't be weird for Nancy to be at the sa place as Carn and Vella as it was a place for all the maids to dry their laundry bellow the sun if it wasn't for the shoutings and yelling they threw at each other.
Elise ran toward the place when at the sa ti Nancy who had folded her hand across her chest scoffed, "What evidence you have to point it out to ? I just passed by the place by coincidence it isn't sothing that anyone should bla for don't you think?"
"Have you ever heard of how a thief shout to their own kind?" Lena cackled, "Don't be saddened Nancy, this poor criminal must have wanted to pin you down as the perpetrator because of her jealousy of you."
"I really wonder how your tongue haven't bleed out with moth even after all the lies you've told." Carn retorted, her eyes had turned sharply red where her fangs grew out in anger that she kept in control.
"Oh hear that. Before you fra of doing childish thing like this bring out the evidence first!" Nancy rolled her eyes and smirked.
Just then, Elise who arrived at the place first asked to her friends, "What happened?" and her eyes moved to see all their laundry was ripped to tattered pieces that was almost impossible to be fix. Her blues eyes widened in shock, not only her clothes were torn but so was Carn and Vella's laundry. She rushed forward, her hand moved to separate the tattered fabrics to find Master Ian's handkerchief he trusted to her. And when she did find the corner of the handkerchief, she pulled it to her hand to see that the rest of the fabric had been cut cleanly with a scissor.
"Elise." called Carn who saw the look on Elise's face turned from shock to loss. Then when she moved her eyes down she saw the handkerchief she and Vella had seen how careful Elise had washed the kerchief with. There was no need for questions that Carn or Vella had to ask, they know that Elise had treasured the handkerchief for it to be torn into pieces by the two won.
"Co with to Mr. Maroon's office! I will report you two for accusing ." Nancy declared, her smile was pulled up confidently. The last ti she had pulled a trick to the criminal Vella, Nancy was able to bail out without getting punished by the head butler and she was sure that this ti she would too. Compared to the words of either Carn, the little slut, and the criminal Maroon would definitely trust her words, thought Nancy happily.
"And you think Mr. Maroon would believe your lies?!" Carn raged.
"Absolutely! Compared to half vampire, a criminal, and a slut my words held more weight!"
Vella snapped her eyes, "Calling soone a slut when herself are the one who kept sleeping from one man to another. To go so far to even sleep with a married man and to be tossed aside, you have sha at all."
The smile Nancy once had at her lips dropped off when Vella brought up the ugliest past she had. Gritting her teeth, she hissed, "You little bitch."
"And you are a big bitch." said Carn when she felt a tug on her sleeve to see that Elise had stood up from her place.
"Carn," Elise called her na, her blue eyes staring back clear to her. "We shouldn't fight."
"But, Elise you should know better that there would not be anyone who would do this other than this woman!" And Elise agreed with Carn's words. She does have suspicion against Nancy for being the one who had torn their laundries but it wasn't right for her to accuse her for being the one who did it all as she hadn't seen the woman doing it by her own eyes. However, it didn't an that Elise would let the matter aside.
"I know." she nodded her head. "But rather than confronting them, I think we should find Mr. Maroon."
Lena rolled her eyes, "Is this slut deaf? Does she not understand that Mr. Maroon would not believe their words without evidence? Oh, I know! You must think that because you slept with the lord once or twice the lord will listen to your words didn't you? I'm sorry to break your heart dear but the Lord will just keep you around until he beco bored-"
"No." Elise cut in between. "I have evidence. Vella can you please call Mr. Maroon?" she requested.
