Embrace Of The Lucifer novel Chapter 22

The Knights were at the dining table, everyone was sitting on their situated seats. Mr & Mrs. Knight were talking with each other about something, Hazel and Nathan were busy with their phones. And Lucifer...his eyes were as always looking for that one girl. His father didn't know about his announcement yet. He wouldn't be happy and Lucifer knew that. But, he could care less about his father's bullshit lecture.

Few minutes passed like that and the maids started to show up with different food trays in their hands. He didn't even glance at a single maid, his eyes were aching to see her. He never cared that he might be a little too harsh on her. He would get what he wanted. And he only wanted her that time. However, the atrocious ploy would break her...but, that was what he wanted. He wanted to break her until she would give up. He wanted to break her into that condition where she would have no one beside her except for him.

He was unaware that his wicked smile was seen by August from the corner of the kitchen. She gulped thinking what he might be thinking about. She was aware of how dangerous that man could be. But, she wasn't aware of how vile his plan was.

"Hey August, can you take this tray outside? I am carrying another one." Marie said. She nodded her head and picked up the tray and went outside to face her fate.

There she is! Said the devil in his mind as she walked in, she was looking gorgeous. Her hair was pulled in a loose braid. Her eyes were glued to the ground, not meeting anyone's sight. Small strands of her hair persistently coming on her face. She put her front ears behind her ear and served lunch to everyone.

Lucifer held the glass of wine and brought it to his mouth, taking small sips, his eyes were still on August, watching her every step. She knew he was watching her but, no matter how much she wanted to leave from there, she couldn't. It was her job to serve food to everyone.

"Please serve me the salad." Mrs. Knight said. She nodded her head and cautiously served the salad on her plate. She thought that was her chance to ask Mrs. Knight if she could talk to her.

"M-Ma'am, can I-I talk to you after lunch for a minute?" Her soft voice asked. His heart danced in excitement when he heard her. He glanced at her, her cheeks were flushed and as always her eyes never met with anyone.

"Sure honey." Hearing Mrs. Knight's answer, she looked up and smiled warmly at her before walking away from the dining table. He wanted to see those green eyes again and her beautiful smile that never failed to melt his heart.

But, at the same time, he was wondering what she wanted to talk about with his mother. He guessed that she might want to convince her mom so that she wouldn't have to leave his father's house. He smirked at the thought. Nice try little kitty. But you have to know that nothing will help. My decision is irrevocable.

The Knights' lunch was over and the maids were cleaning the table along with August. Mrs. Knight told August to meet her in her room. She put the dirty plates in the sink and went out of the kitchen. She was very nervous, she hoped that luck would be beside her that time.

She sighed as she knocked on the door of Mrs. Knight's room. "Come in." Said, Mrs. Knight.

She got inside and immediately bowed her head. "Oh, August!" She put the cup of tea on the table. "You wanted to talk about something?" August nodded her head and replied.

"Yes ma'am."

"Okay. Is it about my son?" She asked looking at her. August nodded her head again sadly. Mrs. Knight sighed and approached her, put her hand on August's shoulder.

"Look honey, I know you are not happy with the decision and my son announced it all of a sudden...without any sign so, it was surprising for me too. And I also know why you want to live here, you made friends and I can see Martha treats you better than other maids here, I noticed you are a very nice girl. But, don't worry honey okay? Maybe you will like these too." She smiled softly at August that almost melted her heart. She couldn't stop herself from returning the smile too and nodded her head.

"And if you don't like it there you can anytime quit the job and come back to my house or look for another job. No one will stop you."
