Alexa had been helping out with the household chores for sometime now.


    Over time, she had be ustomed to the routine and found herself getting attached to the domestic chores, especially with the meal preparation.


    On this particr morning, Alexa was in the kitchen, preparing breakfast for Anthony and Nn, the two men who lived in the house. She was greeted by the usual chatter of the housekeeping staff, who were preparing to attend to their respective duties. As she worked, one of the staff members caught her attention.


    “Hey, Alexa, we’ve noticed that you and Anthony have been getting quite closetely. Maybe you’re going to be our next Mrs. Brown,” she teased, winking at Alexa.


    Thement did not sit well with Alexa, who felt it was improper for a staff member to insinuate such a thing. Before she could respond, another staff member spoke up, drawing gasps from the others. She wondered why they were so keen to hear about her rtionship life.


    “Well, that wouldn’t be surprising. I mean, it seems like some people have been using their charms to worm their way into the Brown family’s wealth,” he said, eyeing Alexa and Anthony.


    Alexa was taken aback by the usation. She was not interested in Anthony for his wealth, nor had she done anything to suggest otherwise. The tension inside the kitchen rose, as the other staff members fell silent, realizing that they may have gone too far.


    Ignoring theirments, Alexa continued with her work, trying to keep her calm. However, the staff members were not done yet. One of them, a new hire, spoke up, revealing something that had no business being aired out in the open.


    “I saw Anthony and Alexa fooling around in the gym basement and by the pool a few days ago, before Nn arrived,” she said with a smirk.


    Alexa felt her face flush in anger and embarrassment. She couldn’t believe this was happening. The staff members had gone too far.


    Just then, Nn walked into the kitchen, ring at the staff members, sensing that something was off.


    “What is going on here? Why is everyone so tense?” he asked, cutting through the tension with his authoritative voice.Property ? of N?velDrama.Org.


    The staff members exchanged uneasy nces before mumbling indistinctly, realizing their mistake.


    Alexa felt a pang of relief knowing that Nn was there to witness the scene. She did not want to let the staff members get away with their behavior. As she thought this, Nn suddenly spoke up again.


    “I hope whatever you were discussing was worth it. Because it’s clear that you all have work to do, and distractions like these won’t help anyone. So let’s get back to work, shall we?” he said matter-of-factly, effectively ending the tense moment.


    Alexa let out a breath she didn’t realize was holding, thanking Nn for speaking up, and went back to her work. She knew that she would have to be careful around the staff members from now on. She couldn’t let them shake herposure.
