chapter 5
Elara bianchi(Alejandro’s daughter)
Never mind…
Elara bianchi(Alejandro’s daughter)
Just a second Adrian, can I talk to my maid?
Lana: Adrian doesn’t even have enough time to respond when Elara forcefully pulls me aside, her raging eyes shooting daggers at me.
Elara bianchi(Alejandro’s daughter)
I know what you’re trying to do!
Lana(FL)
And I have no idea what you’re trying to say.
Elara bianchi(Alejandro’s daughter)
You’re trying to steal my thunder but honey, Adrian has eyes.
Lana(FL)
You’re talking nonsense.
Elara bianchi(Alejandro’s daughter)
You think you can play it cool, huh?
Elara bianchi(Alejandro’s daughter)
You’re just a servant, so know your place.
Elara bianchi(Alejandro’s daughter)
Adrian Moretti belongs to me and I won’t let the likes of you steal him away from me.
Lana(FL)
But I wasn’t even-
Lana falls with a loud thud and she falls into the pool and the water splashes, as Elara stands there laughing.
Alejandro runs out after hearing the splashes
Alejandro Bianchi
Lana? are you okay?
Alejandro Bianchi
Here, take my hand.
The moretti’s walks out and they look distraught about the situation.
On the other hand, Ruth only looks at Lana with disdain.
Livia morreti(ML mom)
What even happened? How did you even fall into the pool?
Ruth bianchi(Alejandro’s wife)
Please forgive us, Livia. That girl always brings us problems wherever she goes.
Ruth bianchi(Alejandro’s wife)
Seriously, I don’t know what’s wrong with her. She’s such a nuisance
Livia morreti(ML mom)
No, it’s okay. It must have been a mistake.
Livia morreti(ML mom)
There’s still time for dinner, so why don’t you go and dry yourself and join us, Lana?
Ruth bianchi(Alejandro’s wife)
She’s just an assistant. You don’t have to worry about her.
Ruth bianchi(Alejandro’s wife)
She can sit in the wet clothes as a reminder of her mistake.
Ruth bianchi(Alejandro’s wife)
And there’s no way to join us for dinner, this dinner is for family and you’re not part of it.
Lana: everyone watches was ruth berates me ruthlessly, her eyes not even showing an ounce of shame. I see Adrian’s fists curl into a ball.
Lana(FL)
💭there’s no way she can talk to me like that, this isn’t the impression I want to give the Moretti’s
Lana(FL)
I need Adrian and everyone else to know I’m not one to listen to Ruth’s crap.
Adrian morreti(ML)
Mrs. Bianchi do you hear yourself?
Lana: Butterflies rush to my stomach as I hear Adrian speak up in my support.
Adrian morreti(ML)
Even if she’s your employee, that’s no way to treat someone.
Lana(FL)
I came here because Mr. Bianchi asked me, and falling into the pool wasn’t my fault.
Elara bianchi(Alejandro’s daughter)
Um mama, let her get dry.
Elara looks flustered as Lana is about to reveal the reason why she fell into the pool.
Livia morreti(ML mom)
Yes. Let me call someone to help you out. We’ll be all waiting for you in the dining room.
Ruth bianchi(Alejandro’s wife)
That’s alright I guess.
Ruth clears her throat and averts her gaze, feeling embarrassed by her own callous attitude.
Lana(FL)
💭Serves you right
Livia morreti(ML mom)
Emma, please lead the lady where she can change her clothes.
A servant ushers Lana inside
Lana(FL)
💭it feels very classic inside the house.
Shadow
Please come this way!
Lana follows the servant into a room with a bed
Shadow
You can dry yourself out and I’ll take it and leave.
The servant walks out and closes the door and Lana starts to dry herself
Lana: as I’m drying myself, the room suddenly creaks open revealing a familiar nice figure…
