Working Together

Nnenna glanced toward the housekeeper and noticed his furrowed brows. He looked troubled, his eyes darting around as if searching for a solution. The ballroom was enormous and needed a lot of attention, yet most of the servants had been reassigned elsewhere.

She could already guess what had happened.

The second prince, Obinna, had personally come and conveniently discharged a large number of servants, sending them off to handle tasks that were far less important than preparing the hall. The housekeeper, despite being in charge, couldn't protest. After all, orders from a prince weren't something he could defy.

Nnenna's jaw clenched. They were doing this on purpose.

Still, the housekeeper wasn't about to let them win. After a moment of deep thought, he straightened his back, his face hardening with resolve. He would find a way to get the job done with the few hands he had, without dragging Nnenna into it.
