06. Just a Maid

She woke up the next morning, rubbing her eyes that were very much filled with sleep. She was too tired that she fell back on the bed.

The viewers who were now glued to the "Maid Royale" TV show were laughing, all talking about various things on behalf of Ingrid.

They searched the girl's name online and couldn't find any details, except for a profile that she hadn't updated in a while which was a private account.

They started to follow her, increasing the poor girl's popularity. Brands and lots more of companies couldn't wait to sign an endorsement with her.

"She is so pretty!"

"Oh God! Ingrid just kill me."

*She is funny, LMFAO!"

However, Ingrid faced a lot of backlash from people who were strong racists and toxic netizens who gave 101 reasons that the show was fake and they hired the girl to pretend to be a part of the show as a maid when she is part of the show for Soo Hyun.

"She is nothing but a con artist."

"How much was she paid to act in this show? She should leave and stop acting as if she is something valuable and important."

Many reacted negatively to her being on the TV show.

But others were ok. If it was all an act, then the girl was a champion actress and they couldn't wait for her to be signed in the acting industry, she fit so perfectly into this role that she was given, making them to feel like she will do so well as an actress, no matter what she is asked to do.

Meanwhile, Ingrid lay back on the bed, given the darkness that she could still see from outside her room. It was still too early for her to wake up so she fell back on the bed, her head raised to the ceiling, directly facing the camera but she was stil in ignorance.

Her memories flashed back to when she tried to greet Soo Hyun but he withheld his hand back as if she was carrying some kind of germs in her palms. She was very disappointed in her crush who was giving her a hard time just when she was yet to settle properly in the house.

She wasn't going to allow him do more to her and send her but to an early grave.

She shook her head and turned to the other side, then dozing off into sleep that only washed off after around 6 hours of sleep. She checked the time on the wall clock and saw that it was 8 am. She dashed into the bathroom, brushed her mouth and then changed into a better dress before running out of the room.

Her hair was a mess and she was in another pyjama, more proper than the one she was putting on.

She came out of the room and looked at the door opposite her, then she ran down the stairs, only to meet the boys sitting in from of the TV, watching a wrestling program.

They were stinky and she only guessed right that they had gone out for sports. These boys have the nerves to intoxicate the house after getting themselves worked up.

"Good morning." She greeted and they all turned to look at her.

She realised Soo Hyun was not with them and that the other grumpy guy, Jin, was still grumpy. She thought he was just angry seeing her in the house and the thoughts only became worst with every encounter with him. He looked so demanding, even more demanding than Soo Hyun himself who always acted as if he was a God. This one acted more of the Astra Planeterium God.

"Oh! Good morning Ingrid. How are you today?" Mickey asked and she blushed a little at how flirty he could be even when he was talking normally.

It was just a normal thing but fans worldwide saw it as a love chemistry building between Ingrid and Mickey. Social media now reigned with #team_Mingrid.

However, the next most popular tag was #team_Hingrid.

In as much as Hyun was behaving as if he was the king of the universe, they admired it and wanted that Soo Hyun ends with Ingrid. It was a love story that they all envied whenever they read books. It fitted those type of story lines and they just couldn't wait to hear about the two people who will beat the history of love.

"I am fine sir." She replied and then they all smiled at her, her sweetness was remarkable.

However she kept blocking her nose. Fans tweeted that the boys should go and freshen up. It was funny but somehow annoying given the fact that they were superstars.

But it wasn't a strange thing since they openly spoke about how dirty they can be whenever it comes to the TV.

They didn't seem to be bothered. It became a habit of theirs and only two people could make them freshen up. Old Park and Soo Hyun.

"Sirs, you all stink." Ingrid finally popped it out.

She held her breath for too long that it was killing her. She will not kill herself because celebrities will sit at home and let it stink.

It probably was the reason why they had zero workers, just two body guards and her who just started to work with them of recent.

She started to understand why no one will work with them. Not like some one ever told her about not wanting to work here because they were pigs.

For her, fans were crazy and will support the place, no matter the behaviours of their celebrity crush.

She frowned, seeing that they only laughed and then walked back to her room, taking her face mask. By the time she was coming out, Soo Hyun was asking them to go to their rooms and freshen up.

"Go and take your baths now." He had ordered and they all grumbled before walking away to their rooms.

Ingird stood there and looked at Soo Hyun as if he was her knight in shining armor.

"Start doing your work and stop lazying around. If you have to work, then work. That's your job, you're a maid. Remember your place." Soo Hyun told her and she frowned.

Was he trying to imply that she was just a maid?
