Up, little missy

"My dear Melody, if anyone volunteers to help you escape from your father or volunteers to help build your life and achieve your dream then take it without much thought. You can repay them back when you have more than enough. You need all the help in the world. I'm sorry I could not be the person that will help you".

Melody remembered her mother's last words. Her mother had told her to take help from people should she receive any. She jumped up from her bed and went to get the form.

He won't disturb you to pay him back. He did not trouble you about paying him back for taking you to the hospital twice now. He's kind and just trying to help you because of his sister. Melody kept chanting in her head as she filled up the form with the pen she borrowed from a maid.

She added the last part because s part of her kept telling her that he was helping her because he likes her and wanted her to be with him for a long time. That was a part of her that was falling for him with each day she spent with him in his office. She kept telling herself that it wasn't her fault.

He was just too handsome and kind, any sane woman would call for him. And she was a sane woman. She knew that her feelings would never be reciprocated. But she couldn't push or ignore the feeling so she decided to open her heart to fall in love even if she would get heartbroken later.

She presented the form that she stayed up the whole night filling.

"I thought you were still going to stand your ground about not filling it". Rebecca visibly looked relieved as she took the form from Melody to scan through it. "I'll give it to Arianna today"

"Are you going over to see her?". Melody asked as the both of them walked downstairs to have breakfast. She was already getting used to eating with Rebecca and Hunter. She almost felt like their family and not a worker. No other maid in the house was treated so well. That was the perks of being liked by a wealthy princess.

Rebecca shook her head as she drew out a chair for herself, "no, they are coming over".

"They?". Melody asked with her eyes on Hunter's seat that was empty.

"Yes, they. Like the whole squad is coming over". Rebecca smirked when she noticed Melody's lingering gaze on Hunter's seat, "He won't be joining us for breakfast. He traveled this morning".

" Oh?". Melody looked down at the food that was placed in front of her. She felt a little tinge of sadness. She was going to ask when he would be returning back but she stopped herself.

"He will be returning back next week so we have the whole house to ourselves". Rebecca was giddy as she got to have the girls over and then together they will teach Melody everything she needed to know to ace the competition. "You should change your clothes before they get here because we are going shopping for ingredients".

Melody nodded at Rebecca's explanation of when Hunter would be returning. It was just for a week and then she would get to see his handsome face again.

"What are we shopping for ingredients for?".

" To teach you. Your lessons are starting today and everyone can't wait".

" You did not mention anything about starting today, last night". How come everyone knew that she would start learning how to cook today but not her?.

"Because I did not know if you were going to be filling the form". Rebecca grunted as she reached for the bread in the middle of the table.

" But how come they will be here this morning? You just found out that I filled the form". Melody raised a brow at her.

" Because I had hoped that you would fill it so I called them last night".

" I heard that the big bad wolf is out so we have the house to ourselves. Ahhhhhh". Arianna yelled in a loud voice as she appeared at the doorway, hauling a large suitcase behind her.

"Out of my way, girl". Samantha pushed her to the side before walking in with Zain. Both of them had big bags with them though not as big as Arianna's suitcase.

Rebecca stood up with a disapproving frown. "Girls it's just a week so why did you bring your whole wardrobe here?".

" Because they are just like your Rebecca". Morgan entered wearing a black jeans and a hoodie. His hands were empty, he was not carrying any bag.

Rebecca rolled her eyes at him, "is it not too hot to be wearing a hoodie?".

"I don't get hot". He told her with a smirk as his eyes went to Melody. He winked at her before walking to sit down on the chair beside her. "I have not eaten this morning".

"I'm not your mother". Rebecca told him

" I'm hungry too". Ariana abandoned her suitcase at the door and rushed to hijack Rebecca's food but Rebecca was faster. She swept the whole plate into her hands and stood up on her chair so that the food could be out of Arianna's reach.

" Go and get your own food". Rebecca told her as she raised her plate of food up.

Arianna was prepared to jump and reach for the food when her eyes fell on Melody. With a defeated "fine", she walked to the kitchen to meet the maids.

"Ask for food for me". Morgan yelled at Arianna.

" You have legs to walk, Mr Morgan. Use it". Arinna yelled back.

" Ask for us too, we're hungry". Samantha yelled at Arianna on behalf of herself and Zain and this time Arianna did not reply.

"Food is coming". Arinna returned back and collapsed on Hunter's chair.

"That's Hunter's seat". Rebecca told her, warning evident in her voice.

"He's not here, is he?. You won't report me because you'll also get be in trouble". Arianna relaxed back and looked up but jumped the next minute when her eyes came in contact with that of Butler Michael.

"Up, little Missy". Butler Micheal's voice was cold but commanding.

"Ahhhh". Arianna shrieked in fright as she jumped from the Hunter's seat and rushed to the seat furthest from it.

All of them burst into loud laughter including Melody though she felt like they were laughing for different reasons. She felt that Arianna's reaction was really funny.

The dining table became silent when the maids brought their food. After eating they went to the living room while some maids went to drop the girl's bag in a guest room.

"I feel so full". Arianna was lounging on a sofa and had her top rolled up to under her breast. She was running her hand on her tummy that was still flat even after the amount of food she ate.

Rebecca snorted at her word's, "someone would see you now and think that you have never eaten a good meal your whole life".

Arinna sat up quickly, "I can't eat well at home without my mom hounding me about finding a boyfriend. I'm just twenty three for goodness sake".

" Oh, poor little Arianna". Samantha mocked.

" As if you are any better. I was there the other day when your mom twisted your ear because you're still single. My mom only complains". Arianna mocked her back and all of them laughed while Samantha twisted her lips and refused to say anything in reply.

"Oh, poor little Sam". Morgan was the one that mocked Samantha this time. Telling her exactly what she told Arianna.

"Please don't even speak, Morgan. You should stop whoring around and find a girlfriend". Rebecca told him. All of them knew that they were talking about finding their mate's.

"I'm not interested for now. Women come with baggage". Morgan told Rebecca.

"Do you have a boyfriend Melody?".

Melody, who had been sitting quietly and almost forgotten, was finally remembered.
