Chapter 3 - The arrival of a new maid

Nicholas looks fitter than before, although he still has a wound on his right hand which is still bandaged.

"It's time for me to go home."

"Oh yes! of course you can."

The nurse went into Nicholas room to routinely check his condition.

"So doc, can I go home now?"

Mother and Lala came to pick up Nicholas who still couldn't go home alone. At home the doctor advised that Nicholas should still regularly take the medication recommended by the doctor. To buy the medicine, Nicholas had to go to the pharmacy, Lala immediately went to buy the medicine.

Nicholas also still has to use a wheelchair to get to the car, so Nicholas mother has prepared it.

After finishing all the preparations, they immediately stepped on the gas and headed home.

When he arrived at his house, Nicholas was greeted by his two old servants, plus the servant he had just recruited a month ago while he was being treated in hospital.

"Welcome sir?"

Nicholas, who was sitting in a wheelchair with help from Lala to push him, tried to greet them by giving a smile.

Everyone at home seemed happy that Nicholas had returned home after being hospitalized for a long time.

"Lala! Can you please bring me closer to the new maid."

"Okay! Nicholas."

Lala pushed Nicholas wheelchair towards the new maid mentioned earlier.

The servant seemed to have a question mark when he saw his master approaching him.

"Why young master, come here?"

"Okay Lala! Can you please leave us alone for a moment, I want to talk to him alone."

"Okay! I'll go see auntie first, if there's anything don't hesitate to call me."

Currently only Nicholas and the new maid were left. This was something Nicholas wanted after all.

Nicholas was seen staring intently at the maid before he finally spoke to her.

"Do you feel comfortable working here?"

"Yes master! I really enjoy working here."

The new servant bowed to Nicholas.

Nicholas looks happy with the performance of Rita, who is his new maid. Even though she has only been on the job for 5 days, she has shown good performance prospects as a helper at home. Even Nicholas own mother often praised him.

"Oke, Thank you for your answer?"

"You know what your job is here, right?"

Nicholas seemed a little arrogant this time, he intended to test how worthy his new maid was to work in his house.

Even though Nicholas has a calm face, this is in contrast to his real personality. No one knows Nicholas true nature except his mother.

Therefore, his new servant was suddenly shocked by the change in Nicholas character and thought of running away from that place.

Rita face suddenly looked anxious and nervous, causing sweat to drip on her forehead.

"Why does your face look so nervous?"

"Well! Just relax, I won't do anything."

"How old are you now?"

"I just turned 24 years old last month, master?"

Rita was seen shaking all over her body due to the nervousness she experienced when answering Nicholas question.

Nicholas knew that Rita was nervous and was looking for a way to get out of talking to him.

"I'm sorry... if I'm being presumptuous! But why is the master asking my age?"

"It's okay, I'm tired! I just want to rest inside."

"Oh yes master, I cleaned your room early this morning."

"You're pretty dexterous too, apparently."

Nicholas went to his room and left Rita, his household assistant.

Rita looked at her with a happy smile knowing that her employer, Nicholas, was a friendly person and also a good person, regardless of the status between master and servant.

Nicholas entered her room pushing her own wheelchair, but there was something that made it quite difficult for her.

Namely raising his body to stand up towards his bed. As a result, he shouted to call Rita, but what approached him was not Rita but Lala.

"What's wrong, screaming for rita?"

Inside Nicholas, he felt that something was strange, but tried to ignore it on the grounds that maybe Rita was busy in the kitchen so only Lala heard it.

"Ehh... It's okay! It's just my legs, I still can't stand up. I want to sleep on the bed."

"I see...! Here, let me help you up."

"Don't worry, if it's like this, I can handle it too, poor Rita is still busy cleaning up the kitchen."

It cannot be denied that Lala is also a good woman, but until now I still don't have the slightest feeling for her. Even though we have known each other for a very long time and were once engaged.

After finishing laying Nicholas body on the bed, Lala prepared a blanket to put on Nicholas.

Does this mean we are not meant to love each other? Moreover, from the start, our engagement was based on the coercion of each parent.

Lala put a blanket over Nicholas body who was lying on the bed.

"What do you think, it's already better, right?"

"Y-Yes...Thank you very much for your help!"

"If that's the case, I want to go out now."

"Hmm... OK."

Because he still didn't feel sleepy, Nicholas tried to turn on the TV in front of his bed.

"I feel bored with my current situation, constantly avoiding and being indifferent to Lala."

Actually, he didn't have the heart to do it, but it couldn't be helped. he couldn't keep pretending to love her.

"Yeah.... never mind! That makes me feel even more dizzy."

Nicholas continued to watch TV shows, instead of watching TV alone. someone came from outside his bedroom door. She is Nicholas mother who is worried about the health of her son who is still recovering.

And not only that, Nichole mother, she also came to discuss the performance of their new maid, Rita, who according to her mother worked very well on her first day of work.

"Yes, it's good that mom likes it."

Nicholas mother seemed happy with rita arrival as their helper at home.

"Actually there is a problem that makes you break off your engagement with Lala?"

"Try telling mom if there's something wrong?"

"That's probably just my bird's prejudice, mom."

"I broke off our engagement, simply on the basis of our incompatibility."

"So, don't think too much about that matter."

"The most important thing is to take good care of mom health! There's no point in thinking about things that have been decided together."

"Oh... I see! mommy just asking you."

"That's it mom! Nichole is sleepy, wants to sleep."

Nicholas turned off the TV and put on his blanket while wearing a sullen expression on his face.
