261: NOT WHAT I EXPECTED

ARIEL’S POV

I sat on this bed, still thinking about the dream I had. What the hell was that? What was it trying to tell me? Luke swallowed water; I couldn’t grasp the whole idea. Was it trying to tell me that the future between Luke and me would not be nice? If only I could get a perfect explanation for this.

I stood up from the bed, driving my hands through my hair, and the door opened. A maid stepped in.

“Good morning, miss,” she greeted.

“Uhmm, good morning,” I greeted back, and we looked at each other for seconds, no one saying anything. Like, it was really crazy.

But then I broke the silence. “Can I help you?”

“Oh, sorry,” she laughed. Fake shit. “I was lost in thoughts. Please forgive me, miss.”

“It’s okay. So can you please tell me why you’ve come to this room? Did you perhaps come to the wrong place or come here for a purpose?”

“I came for the morning cleaning.”

“Oh, I see.”

“But I can see you’re busy now, so I guess I’ll just return later.” She wanted to leave the room, stopped her.

“Hold on,

hold on. Do you usually do this cleaning early in the morning?”

“Yes, miss. That is my job.”

“Oh, okay.”

“Sorry to ask this question, miss. But can I please know why you were asking?”
