Chapter 6. The beginning of my troubles


    OLIVIA


    Their sly grins made me lift my chin as I retorted. "I may be here as a maid, but I won''t forget who I


    am. I''ll do the work expected of me, but I won''t be anyone''s doormat."


    Lucien chuckled, and Logan remained stoic, but Lucas nodded slightly as if acknowledging my


    words. I couldn''t read his expression as I stared at his face.


    Ady dressed in uniform stepped out from where she was standing silently and spoke up. "Miss,


    you''ll be assigned tasks and duties. Follow me for now, and I''ll show you around your new


    workspace."


    Lucien spoke up, a tilt in his voice that made me brace for whatever he was going to say. “Miss?


    Why are you calling her miss? She’s a pathetic and worthless omega who’s only here because the


    moon goddess seems to be ying games with us.”


    Thedy looked back at me hesitantly. “Follow me, girl.” She turned to the triplets and bowed


    slightly. “If you’ll please excuse us sirs.”


    Lucas waved a hand and she turned to walk out of the room. He must have noticed my hesitance


    because he barked at me to leave and I hurried after her.


    With a deep breath, I followed thedy, leaving the triplets behind. As she led me through the grand


    corridors of the pce, I couldn''t help but marvel at its opulence. It was a stark contrast to the life I


    had known, and it made me feel even more out of ce.


    She led me to a small room and opened it, allowing me to walk inside before her.


    “This will be your room, it is small but fully functional so you should have no problems.”


    I turned to her, “Oh, but I won’t be living here at the pce. I’ll be going home every evening after


    my work is done… the Alpha promised my parents that.”


    She appeared flustered for a couple of seconds, beforeposing herself. “Well, the Alpha’s sons


    told me otherwise, but that can be sorted outter. You are to change into the uniform on the bed


    ande to the kitchens when you’re ready.”


    “I don’t know anywhere here, this ce is huge.”


    She smiles slightly, “I’ll wait outside, but do hurry up.”


    “Thank you… and my name’s Olivia.”


    “You can call me Miss B. Everyone calls me that.”


    She walked out of the room and I hurriedly took off my clothes to get changed. Decidedly not


    thinking about how the outfit fitted me perfectly, I walked out.


    Miss B gave a sharp nod and started walking down the hall. We walked for a few minutes and came


    to a stop in front of huge stainless doors.


    Miss B turned to me, “I must warn you that news of your… um… rtionship with the Alpha’s sons


    is nowmon knowledge. A lot of the maids that work here are young females, so they might be a


    little hostile at first, but you just need to focus on your work.”


    Without waiting for my reply, she turns and opens the doors. The chaos in the huge kitchen dies


    down a little as we walk through the hot, bumbling ce.


    I follow Miss B to the other end of the kitchen where shees to an abrupt stop. She turns around


    and ps loudly, bringing the room toplete silence.


    “Everyone, this is Olivia. She will be in charge of the Princes’ needs and meals. Sadie, you will work


    with Olivia until she gets the hang of it.”


    The stunning brte res at me before smiling at Miss B. “Yes ma’am.”


    Miss B continued, "Olivia will be starting with basic tasks today. Sadie, show her the ropes and


    ensure she understands her duties."


    Sadie reluctantly nodded, and I tried to offer her a friendly smile, hoping to ease the tension. "Thank


    you, Sadie. I appreciate your help."


    She didn''t respond but instead led me to a designated area of the kitchen. There, she began to


    exin the various tasks and responsibilities. She exined everything fast without me getting a


    thing. I tried to call her back but she just ignored me.


    “Sadie… I didn’t get thest part of the instructions, can youe again?”


    She seems pissed off. “I wonder how you will cope here if you keep on being a nuisance.” She said


    angrily.


    “What do you mean by that? I only asked you about what I don’t know. So you don’t have any right


    to insult me.” I snapped back.


    “Just keep quiet and listen attentively. This time around, I won’t be repeating myself. So you better


    be all ears.” She said angrily.


    I tried my best to keep up with her even though she intentionally keeps pissing me off. Suddenly the


    kitchen phone rang.


    Miss B went to pick it up and she soon dropped the phone after noting down the orders.


    She calls on Sadie, “Prepare the princes’ coffee and Olivia is to deliver the coffee to their rooms.”


    Surprisingly, I asked, “ Should I deliver them?”


    “Any problem with that? The prince specifically asked you to bring the coffee.” Miss B replied.


    I became pale instantly as I knew the princes’ intention. Sadie’s smirk didn’t pass me by as well. I


    knew what was going through her mind but she was the least of my worries at that moment. I didn’t


    know the way to princes’ room and I was worried they were setting me up for another bullying


    episode. I could only hope that they wouldn’t pour the hot coffee on me.


    “But the princes had coffee this morning, why will they request for another and to make this


    worthless being deliver it to them is an insult to the rest of us,” Sadie grumbled under her breath,


    but loud enough for me to hear.


    She finished preparing the coffee and handed the tray to me.


    “But I don’t know the way to the princes'' room. Can you help me out with the description, Sadie?”


    “You don’t want the coffee to get cold, do you?” She said with a sly grin.


    I looked around to see if there was someone who would help me out but no one came to my rescue.


    I quickly went over to ask Miss B as she was myst option. She helped me out after giving me an


    earful.


    “The princes don’t like cold coffee, so get going now.”


    I followed her description and got to Lucas’s door. I knocked but nobody responded.


    Since there was no response, I decided to push the door open. The words that came at me left me


    dumbstruck.


    “You are a fool, Olivia dwarf.” Logan yelled out angrily.


    “We are in the middle of an important discussion and you dare to enter the room without


    permission?” He added.


    “I knocked, but… no one responded.” I retorted.


    “That’s one of the problems I have with you. You always have answers to all questions. Can’t you


    just keep your mouth shut for once?” Lucas added.


    “I’m so sorry.” I apologized.


    “Do you truly feel sorry? You apologized without bowing.” Lucien yelled out loud.


    I could only curse at myself at that moment as the dominance in his voice dropped me to my knees


    and I apologized with a bow.


    “Now you know your job, maid Olivia. That’s the spirit. Keep it up.” Lucas said smiling.


    I ced the coffee down on a table in the middle of the room and bowed before turning to take my


    leave.


    “Stop!” Lucas shouted.


    I froze and turned around slowly to see him cocking a brow at me. “Are we to serve ourselves?”


    “Oh, right… sorry.” I hurried back to the table and started pouring. My hands were shaking as I


    poured the coffee into three different cups. As I tried to put the kettle down, I lost grip of it and it fell,


    coffee spilling out and burning me as it fell.


    I snatched my hand back and bit my lips as the sharp pain coursed through me. I heard a shout and


    turned to see Lucas bearing down on me, Logan and Lucien behind him. Scared at the look on his


    face, I stumbled back and lost my footing.


    My eyes closed as I fell, only to be grabbed around my waist and hauled against something hard. I


    opened my eyes slowly to see that Lucas was the one who caught me and he had a thunderous


    look on his face. My hands were resting on his - I had to admit - spectacr chest and I hurriedly


    took them off, dragging myself out of his arms. I cradled my sore hand to my chest, as I bowed to


    apologize.


    “Stop.” Lucas’ gruff voice stopped me halfway into my bow. “Let me see the hand.”


    I hesitated.


    “Now Omega.”


    I extended it towards him and both Lucien and Logan came forward to look at him. I tried to ignore


    the warmth that bloomed in my chest and as Logan grabbed it gently.


    “How can you be so clumsy? Do you have no sense of self-preservation?”


    Lucien spoke up, “Sit. I’ll get the first aid kit.”


    Just then, the door opened and someone walked in.


    “Yoo-hoo! Guys, I’m back!”


    I raised my eyes to see her, my worst nightmare in the flesh.
