Chapter 6

"Engagement? Yeah, engagement, I don't have anything to say about it. "

Margaret was speechless, "Haven't you heard anything about it? "

That was when Carson realized that he had just been bluffing since morning. He laughed it off, "Yes, I'm aware. I'm a little bit stressed out so don't mind any of my words."

Margaret was relieved and happy to hear that. While Carson on the other hand didn't know why he was doing that. Stuttering and getting nervous which was unlike him. 

Margaret hugged his arm, "Just rest while you are in my arms. " 

Carson tried to remove her hand but the girl was stubborn and refused to understand what his action meant.  Carson closed his eyes. 

After some minutes they finally arrived at the house. The car was packed in the parking lot, and Margaret and Carson got out of the car. 

Alice came out with two maids to help with the luggage. She was informed a minute before their arrival. 

She felt betrayed, even though there was nothing between them. She walked past Carson to get the luggage, she knew that the luggage would be much but it was too excessive.

Margaret was smiling when she entered the house. Mr Macpherson was sitting grinning widely, Margaret ran off to Mr Macpherson replying with a smile. 

She hugged him tightly, "It's been such a long time Dad. "

Mr Macpherson smirks at his son, telling him that there's no going back. "I missed you so much, I remembered all those times you used to run together with Carson to get ice cream. "

Carson raised his brow because he didn't even remember that. His father smiled at him, and that was enough to tell him that he made it up. 

Margaret smiled assuming it was true, "Where is Mrs Macpherson? " She looked around but still didn't see her. 

Mr Macpherson called out to Alice, "You, go and call the madam for me. " 

Alice nodded, being the head maid currently, that was one of her duties. She left the luggage for the others to carry and wasn't to call the madam. 

Mrs. Macphrson came back with a grin plastered on her face, "Oh my darling girl. "

Margaret smiled, "Aunty, I've missed you all, I've been waiting for this day to come. I have a lot to tell you about and I also brought a gift for you guys but maybe later. "

The trio just kept looking at her as she continued, it was lively between them. Except for Carson who has his eye on every movement of Alice. Alice could feel his eye on her so she stopped walking around that place. 

What happened between them must not get out otherwise she would be ruined. 

After having a nice talk, Margaret was finally tired and wanted to get a rest. 

"Carson took her to her room. " Mr Macpherson winked at his son. Carson shook his head, anybody who sees his father for the first time will think that he's a very serious man. But if you are well related and already get to know each other you will truly know his childish behavior. 

Margaret hooked her arm around Carson's when they were going. She was all over the moon. 

Carson took her to her room and went back to his room. He removed his clothes and lay on the bed. He starts thinking if Margaret is the woman he needs or Alice. He quickly shrugs off the thought of Alice because his family would never allow him to marry a maid. 

But unknown to him, when love eventually happens he will stop thinking about what others would say and start thinking about himself. 

He rolled on the bed, he suddenly felt heat within himself, he came out with his bare body. 

When he opened the door, it was coincident that Alice was passing by his door. His hand pulled her inside, yes that's true, it was his hand. 

Alice was frightened, she yelled but it was not loud. Carson closed the door. Alice was so mad. 

"Why did you pull me like that? What if someone saw us? "

Carson put his hand on his waist, "It wasn't me, it was my hand okay? "

Alice was too mad to keep quiet, "Really?  And you think I would fall for that, I'm not a fool and don't you ever do that because if you do that next time, I won't hesitate to hit you. " After she was done with her ranting, she did the knob but Carson pulled her back. 

"Do you realize that in your boss, and I can throw you out of here anytime I wish."

Alice bit her lip, she was silenced by that word he uttered, she still has a loan to pay so she can risk it or take it lightly.

She keeps her head down, "I'm sorry." She apologized sincerely.

Carson was hard-hearted but his heart ached to see that, and he pulled her into his embrace. He rubs his hand on her back. 

Alice soon came back to her senses, she wanted to push him back but mistakenly she hit her hand on something. 

Carson growls and Alice blushes and apologizes. "I'm sorry, I wanted to push you away but my hand is so naughty. "

Carson let go of her, and Alice waited for a while before leaving. Carson sat down to calm down before leaving the room. **

Alice breathed in and breathed out before going into Margaret's room. Margaret was wearing shorts when Alice entered. 

She dropped the drink in her hand and was about to leave when Margaret called her back. "Go prepare my bathe, I need to freshen up before I can do anything". 

Alice was stumped, "But the bath tin is just right there in your bathroom. "

Margaret raised her brow, "Are you trying to disobey me? Do you know my position in this house? "

Alice bit her lip. "Okay, wait a minute, I will be done very soon. "

Margaret hiss, and watch as she leaves to prepare the bath. Alice came out after some minutes, she left the room angrily.
