"Is Graven, ugly, good looking, or what?" Laura asked again. She can hear the maid giggling. She raised her head, looking at her. "What's funny?" she asked.
Neeza smiled coyly. "Oh, my heart...Sir Graven is devilishly handsome in every inch. Especially his eyes, so hypnotizing, I warned you, Miss Laura, don't look at Sir Graven's eyes, don't maintain eye contact with him!" she said in a serious tone.
Laura's brows knitted together. "Huh? But why-?" she asked in puzzlement.
"B-because you might fall for him, and you will ditch Sir Cooper," Neeza said.
Laura erupted into laughter. "Silly girl, why would I do that-?" she said.
Neeza shrugged. "I dunno...all the women servants in this house were having a crush on Sir Graven..." she confessed.
Laura smiled. "Hmm... I see..."
Neeza continues combing Laura's hair. "Later, after lunch, I'll clean your room, Miss," she offered.
"Okay," Laura responded.
"You can stay in the veranda, or the swing while I'm cleaning your room. Or you can visit the mini-park at the back of the house. You can see trees and benches there and have a relaxing walk while listening to the chirping of birds while strolling. And there's another set of swing there for you to enjoy as well," Neeza said.
"That's cool. Bring me to the back of the house. I wanna see the mini-park," Laura said.
"Right now?"
"Yes," Laura replied.
"Okay, I'll take you there," Neeza said and put the comb down on the table. "Let's go, Miss!"
The women went out of the room and descended the stairs, going to the back of the house.
A few minutes later, they arrived at their destination.
Laura was speechless... in total awe... because she finds the mini-park amazing! There are blooming Acacia trees everywhere and other ornamental plants as well! There are benches scattered all over the mini-park and cemented pathways. She found two sets of swings and a white gazebo with chairs and a round table! Nice!
"Amazing place!" she enthused.
Neeza smiled. She went to the wooden box under the acacia tree and produce two pieces of clean rug clothes. "I will just wipe clean the benches and the swings first, Miss. So that you can use them while I'm cleaning your room upstairs," she said and walked to the first bench nearby and began her task.
Laura roamed her eyes around the area. Then she saw the bungalow concrete house at the end of the mini-park. Her brows furrowed. She went to the maid's side. "Neeza, who lives in that house over there?" she asked, pointing her index finger at the house that looks deserted.
Neeza looked at the house. "Ah, that one is where Sir Graven used to live when he was still living here," she said. "Which reminds me that I need to clean the surrounding area and also the interior of the house because that house was assigned to me for cleaning twice a week before you came here. I need to clean the house quick just in case Sir Graven will arrive today!" she said, panicking.
Laura looked at the maid. "Don't panic! Why don't you assigned the cleaning to another servant, then you can also help her in the cleaning so that you can speed up the process..." she suggested.
"Good suggestion!" Neeza said with a smile. "Ah, I will just clean your room later in the afternoon! Will it be okay with you, Miss?" she asked.
Laura smiled. "Sure! You can clean it even tomorrow, I don't mind. I think you should focus more on Graven's abode first before anything else," she suggested.
"Okay, thank you, Miss!" Neeza said. "I'm going now..."
