Chapter 113

Camilla leaned on the island, dressed in a casual blue dress and looking at Liliana sassily.

"Yes? What do you want?" Liliana asked boldly, making Camilla scoff.

"You pathetic being," Camilla said, chuckling mockingly.

Liliana scowled at her.

"She asked you a question , Camilla. And what's with the dress? Aren't you a maid anymore?" Paloma asked.

"Well, let's say I am getting promoted slowly. Soon, I will be the lady of this house," Camilla said proudly, making Liliana and Paloma share a look.

They burst into laughter, making Camilla raise her brows.

"What kind of dream is that?" Liliana asked Paloma.

"I believe it is a chronic one with an illness," Paloma said, making Liliana laugh the more.

Camilla clenched her jaw a bit but maintained a smile.

"Listen you dirty maids, I don't care about your mockeries. Just know that soon, you will both go on your knees begging me to spare you, because you will both be the first to taste my power," Camilla said, smiling.

"Oh please, dream bigger and not stupid," Paloma said, turning away.

"No, Paloma, let's leave her in her lame dream that will never happen," Liliana said, staring at Camilla.

Camilla gritted her teeth as she glared at Liliana.

Liliana raised her brows at her

Camilla replaced her angry glare with a smile, making Liliana furrow her brows a bit.

"Listen, Liliana, I came here to tell you politely that your services are no longer needed in Mario's room," Camilla said, making Liliana scoff.

"Wow, so you call him by his name now," Paloma said, looking at Camilla.

"Face your dishes, bitch." Camilla snapped, making Paloma scoff as Camilla returned her gaze to Liliana.

"He doesn't need you to clean his room. So stop going there," Camilla said.

Liliana hummed, folding her hands. "On whose instruction did that come from?"

"Mine," Camilla snarled.

Liliana shared a look with Paloma and they both burst into laughter, making Camilla clench her knuckles.

"I didn't know she was this sick," Paloma said to Liliana.

"Me neither. I mean I know she has a problem, but I didn't know it was this far, geez." Liliana mocked, laughing with Paloma.

"Listen, you ... "

"What is going on here?" Candela asked, walking into the kitchen dressed in her black robe.

Everyone stood still with their heads slightly bowed as she stared at them.

"I asked a question," Candela asked, making them raise their heads.

Paloma's heart pounded as she thought of what she heard at Candela's door.

"Ma'am, I came to give some specific instructions to my juniors, but they chose to make mockery of me," Camilla said, making Liliana furrow her brows at Camilla in disbelief.

Paloma, on the other hand, rested her gaze on Candela.

"She refused to do as I said and insulted me as well. Both of them, ma'am." Camilla said boldly.

Liliana scoffed. "Ma'am, that's not...."

Candela raised her hand at Liliana, shutting her up as she rested her gaze on Camilla.

"What the hell are you wearing?" Candela asked.

Camila looked at her dress and then at Candela.

"Is that supposed to be a maid's uniform?" Candela asked, making Liliana smirk at Camilla a bit.

"Ma'am, it's.....it is um...." Camilla stuttered.

"Answer my damn question, Camilla," Candela retorted.

"It is not," Camilla answered.

Candela scoffed. "What are you now? One of us?"

Liliana pursed her lips, suppressing her laughter, but Paloma kept staring at Candela.

Did she really sleep with Dante? She asked internally.

"And just placing you in a higher role than theirs doesn't mean they are your juniors. Have you lost it?" Candela asked Camilla.

"I apologize, ma'am," Camilla said, dropping her gaze.

Liliana begged to laugh out loud, but that would be so disrespectful to the lady.

She pursed her lips the more.

"What instruction was that anyway?" Candela asked, making Liliana's face twitch as Camilla looked at Candela.

"She has to stop working in Ma...I mean the boss' room. Her services are no longer needed," Camilla said.

"Which of the bosses?" Candela asked.

"Mario, ma'am." Camilla answered.

Liliana looked at Candela.

"Did he complain about her poor services?" Candela asked.

"Yes, he did." Camilla lied, making Liliana look at her in disbelief.

Candela looked at Liliana. Liliana shook her head.

"That's a lie, ma'am. I do my work diligently. You can inspect it whenever you please," Liliana defended.

Camilla scoffed, making Candela look her way.

"She is not fit for the job, ma'am. She will end up making him sick because of the dirt she ignores in his room," Camilla said.

Liliana sighed, giving you already.

"And who is a perfect fit, Camilla?" Candela asked.

Camilla smiled slightly. "I am ready to continue, ma'am. I am....."

"No," Candela retorted.

Camilla furrowed her brows. "Ma'am?"

"You will not continue. As a matter of fact, I don't want to see you anywhere near his room. Is that clear?" Candela asked, making Camilla let out a breathless scoff.

At this point, Liliana can't hold laughter, but she has to.

Candela moved her gaze to Liliana, making comport herself.

"Liliana,"

"Yes, ma'am?"

"Continue the job."

"Yes ma'am." Liliana said, feeling excited.

"I want his room spotless day and night," Candela instructed.

"Yes, ma'am." Liliana said, making Camilla throw her an angry glare as her blood boiled.

"I don't want mistakes or complaints from him. Is that clear?" Candela asked.

"Crystal clear, ma'am," Liliana said.

Candela moved her gaze back to Camilla.

"Change into your uniform right away. You have five minutes to do that, or you are out of this mansion for good," Candela ordered.

Camilla gave a slight bow but gave Liliana one last scowl before walking away angrily.

Liliana almost burst into laughter as she stared at Camilla while she walked.

"Where is my hot soup, Paloma?" Candela asked, but Paloma kept staring at her.

Candela raised her brows, but Paloma kept staring at her as she processed her thoughts.

"Paloma," Candela called.

Paloma didn't respond.

Liliana looked at Paloma. She noticed that Paloma was wavering in her thoughts.

Liliana walked closer to her and touched her, making her look at Liliana.

"The lady is asking you," Liliana said.

Paloma looked at Candela, who gave her a look.

"Ma'am?"

"Where was your attention?" Candela asked.

"I apologize, ma'am," Paloma said, lowering her gaze.

"I need my soup hot and ready in the living in an hour," Candela said, turning to head out.

"Yes ma'am," Paloma said, staring at Candela as she walked out of the kitchen.

"Gosh, did you see the look on Camilla's face?" Liliana asked excitedly, but Paloma grabbed her closer to her surprise.

"What's wrong?" Liliana asked with furrowed brows.

"I need to tell you something," Paloma said, looking at the door.

"Okay, tell me." Liliana said as she stared at Paloma, who seemed to be acting strangely.

Paloma looked at Liliana.

"The lady is sleeping with the boss' cousin," Paloma whispered.

Liliana froze.

Paloma nodded.

"What?" Liliana whispered aloud.

Paloma looked towards the door and back at Liliana.

"How did you know that?" Liliana asked.

"I went to her room to give her the hot soup she requested, which I know she forgot. But when I got to the door, I heard her moaning," Paloma said.

Liliana furrowed her brows. "That's normal. She might be doing it with the boss."

Paloma shook her head, making Liliana's face twitch.

"Wait, the boss went on a business trip yesterday," Liliana said.

"Yes. That wasn't him with her in there. It was Dante," Paloma said.

"But how sure are you? She might be using a sex toy or something," Liliana said.

"No. I heard her moan his name," Paloma said.

Liliana widened her eyes.

Paloma nodded.

"Oh gosh," Liliana said.

"I seriously wish I hadn't heard her. I am so unsettled right now. What am I supposed to do with this information now?" Paloma asked, panicking a bit.

"Calm down. You have to just keep it to yourself. I mean ourselves. We will keep it to ourselves. We won't tell anyone," Liliana said, placing her hands on Paloma's shoulders,

"We won't?" Paloma asked.

"Yes. We can't cause trouble between them. Let them figure it out themselves. Remember what you said? We are only here to serve them and not interfere in their business. Let's just..... let's just act like it didn't happen," Liliana said.

Paloma nodded. "Yeah. You are right. I did say that. It is none of our business."

"Exactly," Liliana supported.

"But how would you cheat on someone like the Don? He is like a freaking god. Have you seen him?" Paloma asked.

Liliana nodded. "Yeah, that's a valid question."

"If I was in her shoes, I would never try that. Dante is not even half as hot as the Don," Paloma said, facing the counter.

Liliana scoffed. "You are checking out the Don now?"

"Yeah, why not? I mean all the females in this mansion must have checked him out once, at least. It shows that we are flesh and blood," Paloma said.

Liliana chuckled as she reached for the chopping board.

"But you, you have the hots for his son," Paloma teased, making Liliana blush uncomfortably.

"No I don't."

"Yeah right. Hopefully he might drink today so you can watch over him." Paloma snickered, making Liliana give her a look.

Paloma chuckled.

"Mean roomie," Liliana said, walking towards the island with the chopping board and sone vegetables.

Paloma chuckled again but Liliana faced the veggies as Mario clouded her head again.

OUTSIDE THE MANSION......

"I am getting myself a Lamborghini very soon," Manuel said, making Lucas scoff.

"What do you need that for?" Lucas asked as he cleaned the roof of the car. They are both in the parking lot and washing the cars. They were both shirtless and wearing their trousers while they washed the car.

They are currently washing one together. Lucas is standing on top of the car and cleaning the car's roof with a black rag.

"For many reasons, Lucas. What else do you use a fucking car for?" Manuel asked.

Lucas didn't respond but continued cleaning the car's roof.

"I mean I have saved enough money. The best decision is to buy myself a car. A red Lamborghini will do," Manuel said, smirking.

"The best decision is to buy a house and then a car. But you are still under the Morellis. So I suggest you just keep saving till you are out of here," Lucas said without looking at him.

Mantel scoffed. "Seriously?"

Lucas shrugged. "Why the rush? Just continue saving."

Manuel nodded. He leaned down and picked up the bucket of water and threw the water on the car roof without minding Lucas' presence.

"Hey!" Lucas yelled, wiping his wet face.

"Oops," Manuel said, smirking.

"What the fuck, Manuel?"

Manuel shrugged. "I just wanted to wash off the wisdom on you. You are beginning to sound like a fucking old man."

Lucas scoffed as he got down from the car and picked up a bucket.

"Revenge is for the heavens, Lucas." Manuel teased, but Lucas moved towards him with the bucket.

"Hey...." Manuel said, running around the car and Lucas chased him till he finally splashed the water on him.

"Hey!"

"Serve you right," Lucas said, walking back to his spot.

"Fuck you," Manuel said.

"Yeah, whatever," Lucas said, but something caught his eyes towards the mansion.

It was Mimi.

She is dressed in a white and pink tank top and jean trousers, approaching the parking lot where they are.

Lucas' heart picked up as she moved closer to the front of the car while staring at Mimi as she approached with an angry face.

"Well, well, well, who do we have here?" Manuel said, standing close to Lucas but staring at Mimi with a smirk.

Lucas looked at him.

Manuel kept smirking at Mimi as she approached.

"Wipe that smirk off your face, moron." Lucas said, walking past him.

Manuel scoffed as Lucas moved to the other side of the car to see why Mimi was coming over.

But to his surprise, she walked past him without sparing him a look and headed towards Manuel, making Manuel raise his brows.

Lucas furrowed his brows and turned to her. She stood in front of Manuel and folded her hands.

"Manuel, you are my new driver and bodyguard now," Mimi said.

Manuel's face twitched.

"Wait, what?" Lucas asked.

"Get ready, we are going to the mall in an hour," she said, turning to leave.

"Yes, ma'am." Manuel said, grinning happily as Mimi made an attempt to walk past Lucas, but Lucas held her back.
