Anna POV
I walked into the bedroom and laid down on the bed for a while.
After some time, I called a clinic to book my appointment for today.
After that, I thought to sleep for some time as I don't have anything to do. Hmm, that sounds pretty good.
Some thoughts had been roaming in my mind. Like 'what am I going to say to the doctor'.
It's going to be an awkward conversation. That was my last thing on my mind before darkness consumed me.
I woke up when I heard some noise around me. I opened my eyes and saw that it was a lady who was in her mid-40s.
I smiled at her but she didn't. My smile faltered and I sighed while sitting up and asked her "who are you"
"I am the head maid of this house. It is lunchtime. What would you like to eat at lunch" she asked with a cold voice
"Anything you will make umm". I paused as she didn't mention her name
" Maria," she told me.
"Whatever you will make Maria. I am not picky," I told her
She didn't even react and walked out of the room. I saw the time on the clock. It was 1 at noon. I can't believe I slept for 4 hours.
I have to get ready quickly or I will be late for the appointment. I have only 1 hour to reach there.
I rushed to the bathroom and washed my face and applied some concealer to hide the bruises on my neck.
I went to the toilet to check if I was still bleeding. I sighed, the bleeding was less than this morning but it's still there.
After changing the pad, I walked out of the bathroom to the bedroom.
I picked a purse from the closet and put the card and all necessary stuff inside it then walked out of the room.
I stepped inside the dining room and saw that my lunch was ready and Maria was the one who had served me.
I sat at the table and with a smile, said "thank you, Maria".
She didn't say anything and left. I shook my head and started to eat my food.
It's been so long since I have not eaten a full meal at lunch. But that thought went out of my mind when I tasted the high amount of salt in the dish.
I kept my mouth shut and tried to complete the food as wasting it was not in my nature.
But after having 3 spoons, I put the spoon back on the plate. The last thing I wanted was high blood pressure.
Why has she done it? What if she had done it by mistake. I can't blame her because she is also a human.
I took that plate and went inside the kitchen and saw that she was having her lunch.
"It has a lot of salt, Maria. I couldn't finish it." I said but she didn't say anything.
I added, "I am going out."
I was about to walk away when she asked me something making me halt in my steps.
"Have you taken sir's permission?."
"I already have Maria. Don't worry" I told her with a smile.
With that, I walked out of the kitchen to the living room.
