Leticia resumed her usual duties, cleaning and assisting Aunt Lina and Janet.
Time flew and it was already noon, and thanks to her efficiency at her chores, Leticia could relax before lunchtime.
She sat leisurely in her pavilion, savoring snacks she had made herself.
She contentedly played games on her phone.
Engrossed in her game, Aunt Lina approached to inform her that Damian would be coming home for lunch.
"Oh, okay Auntie!" Leticia responded casually, surprised that Damian was coming home for lunch out of the blue.
He usually never ate at home, preferring to dine out with one of his many lovers.
Leticia simply shrugged indifferently, unbothered.
She returned to her game.
As expected, at twelve o'clock, Damian did come home for lunch.
He wasn't alone; he brought one of his lovers home with him.
Aunt Lina reappeared at the pavilion to tell Leticia that Damian had requested she serve lunch at the dining table.
"Alright!" Leticia relented, realizing there was no point in arguing; she was married off essentially to be Damian's servant.
With a heavy heart, she went to the main house to serve the grand master, Damian.
Laughter and playful banter between a woman and Damian filled the dining room.
Leticia, with a composed face, delivered the meal to the dining room, smiling politely as she set the table with grace.
Damian's piercing gaze followed the calm Leticia as she elegantly presented the lunch alongside his lover.
Once the table was completely set, Leticia courteously bowed.
"Please, Sir and Madam, enjoy your lunch!" she said calmly, then turned to leave the dining area.
"What is this?!" suddenly, a voice erupted from the dining room entrance, the commanding tone of a middle-aged woman.
"Who is the lady of the house here! And who is the servant!" the woman's voice boomed again.
"Mama..!" Damian was startled by the sudden appearance of his mother at his home without notice, and he rose from his seat.
Leticia, who had just stopped in her tracks, slowly resumed her departure from the dining room.
She did not want to meddle in Damian's household affairs, feeling like a stranger in that home.
As the middle-aged woman continued to scold, Leticia quickly hurried away from the dining room.
She went straight back to her pavilion, determined not to get entangled in Damian's scandal exposed by his mother.
Leticia settled back into her pavilion calmly, picking up her game where she had left off.
Knock! Knock! Knock!
Just as she leveled up, knocking sounded at the pavilion door.
Leticia rushed to answer it.
Standing there was Janet, looking worried.
"What is it?" Leticia asked, seeing Janet out of breath as if she had hurried to the back pavilion.
"The Mistress is calling for you, Miss. She seems to want an explanation from you!" Janet said.
Explanation? Leticia wondered, puzzled.
"Come, Miss... Young Master Damian is being scolded by the Mistress alongside his lover!"
"What does that have to do with me?" Leticia asked, growing more confused.
"Of course, it does Miss, you are Damian's wife!" Janet insisted.
"Yes, but you all know we are not husband and wife in the usual sense!" Leticia remained unmoved to go to the main house.
"But the Mistress doesn't know that!"
"Oh, right!" Leticia said, still in her relaxed mode with no desire to leave, her feet heavy at the thought of going.
