Gut feeling
Elle was aware that she had to do something to make her happy and that’s why she presented her money. She hoped that Richie would be able to help her in that aspect but what she did not know was the feeding of Alessandro in his mind. The poison had already induced numerous thoughts and suspicions in his mind. However he had been struggling to keep up with his sanity and reputation before the paparazzi would smear his family name. On the other hand Elle thought that she finally got the away out of the castle if she successfully made a deal with Mary. But for some reason she was still doubtful about Mary being an ordinary girl since she suddenly switched to a nit confident aura. However it was still evident that she was still a weak woman emotionally which was the confusing aspect. ‘I hope she agrees to the money and will help me. After all being a maid here the most desired thing fir her should be the money.’ Elle assumed the situation as she had to stay calm and wait for her to say anything while Mary thought for a moment and stood there with her one leg stretched ahead a little as she gave off a playful aura. But perhaps the statement and the offer given to ber was not enough since Mary did not want the particular useless thing. She wanted something more, or precisely someone! “Hahaha! Who wants monetary benefits, hah!? I want you to make a deal with me, then I can help you in escaping from this hell.” Elle pondered for a moment about possibly what it could be since she had to do something to make Mary help her and the persuasion should be tempting enough to make Mary comply with her request. ‘I knew it! I should have seen this coming. She does not need money, instead something else, something which only I can give to her. Hah!’ She had already seen that coming and knew that whatever Mary wished for she could have her. But no doubt Elle was amazed to see that Mary was still thinking about Alessandro rather than her own safety that what if he came to know about the incident of cleaning. But in that moment she still wished to have Votes for herself rather than worrying about the other stuff which might go against her, such as Ezra. That younger maid knew about Elle and Mary’s physical fight and rushed outside frightened, she was witness to the whole incident and might open her mouth in front of Cetes if he asked her about the stuff and told her to report to him. But nonetheless Elle simply smiled and waited for her to speak knowing that it would be something big but at the same time something which was in Elle’s possession maybe. “What is it?” She wanted to sound imposing on her but at the back of her head Elle still seemed suspicious about her identity. She consistently felt that Mary was familiar but not as much as the celebrities which caused the utter confusion, however the woman toyed with her hair lock and crossed her arms. Mary was indeed gorgeous and wanted the best since she deserves the best among the best, hence she made sure that Elle would comply with her deal. “I want Alessandro!” Mary’s words did not make her astonished or anything such but Elle was surely a bit surprised to see that she was still stuck in just one place and wanted Alessandro. Nothing else! Elle had already seen that coming and smiled brightly upon hearing the deal. But at the same time she knew that something else was behind that deal too, it could not be a simple single sentence but a whole lot of deal behind that to aid. ‘This girl sure is something. She still wants him when I can give her money and an opportunity to live a good and improved life.’ Elle did not expect her to choose love over money and that would have been totally unexpected from any servant. But perhaps Alessandro had been paying her a lot more than expected that’s why she did not want money. Nonetheless she found the deal pretty much odd and voiced out her decision of helping her. “But why do you want my help in that matter? You cam have Alessandro around your pinky as you want all by yourself.” Of course! Mary was beautiful enough to tempt him but she did not want to stoop so low to have the man she had admired and loved for so long. Instead she wanted to have him all for herself by making Alessandro fall in love with her rather than just stealing him or sleeping with him, in the worst case by having sex with him. Mary smiled at her and stepped forward while her finger was still in her hair lock and she playfully swirled her finger. “I know but I do not want to to sleep with him and then come back with a baby claiming to the child to be his seed. No, definitely no. I want him, that is true. But I do not want to sleep with him or to force my way into his life. That is why I need your help Elle.” Mary sounded serious and wanted her to help her and that’s why she came out clean with Elle despite knowing that she had to do something on her own to have Alessandro. Elle can only help or pave her way might as well guide her too but the important part was still on Mary to do and proceed with. On the other hand Elle was surprised to hear her words and could not speak clearly, she had so many questions now for Mary but did not know where to start thus she stuttered while confronting her. “You… how can you think so sane and straight when girls from lower rank…. I mean I’m not trying to offend you, but many girls would definitely go for the easy way you just described just to have the man they loved or desired or wanted to lure.”This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.
