Chapter 8. Torture in the form of orders

It was late, Lynda prepared dinner for Nelvan and then told him the food was ready so that Nelvan could come and eat the dinner Lynda had prepared. 

Lynda felt so tired that it seemed if she lay down she would go straight to dreamland. Lynda watched as Nelvan ate his dinner and then the man left without saying a word of thanks. 

Lynda sighed, she cleaned up the leftovers, it had been a very long day, there was no time to rest except at mealtime, and now it was late, but she still hadn't finished cleaning Nelvan's house to make it cleaner. 

It was ten o'clock at night, Lynda could no longer hold back her tiredness, the door to the room was closed and Lynda immediately flopped down on the bed. 

"It's so cozy," she said as she rubbed the soft sheets and soft mattress, Lynda's eyes closed to restore the energy that had been drained from her today. 

"Lynda!" 

A snort escaped Lynda's lips, the girl came out of the room again to meet Nelvan who called her name, wouldn't the man let her rest? It's already past ten at night, why would Nelvan call her again?

"Yes Mr. Xander." Lynda replied. 

"Fill this glass with water," Nelvan gave Lynda an empty glass but didn't look at the girl at all, Lynda took the glass from Nelvan and then went to the men's room to get some drinking water, after that Lynda came back and still saw Nelvan sitting at the tab screen. 

"Can I take a break, Mr. Xander?" asked Lynda. 

Nelvan waved his hand and told Lynda to get out of his room, Lynda sighed then left Nelvan's room and ran to the room to go back to sleep, Lynda would waste no time in getting some rest. 

Lynda lay down and picked up her cell phone when a message came in from Mia,  

[Are you that busy? Did this young master treat you badly? Did he give you a comfortable place in his house?"]  

Lynda smiled and replied to her best friend's message before Lynda took a picture of the room she was staying in and sent it to Lynda so her best friend would not have to worry about what Lynda was doing. 

"I'm fine," Lynda replied. 

Then came a message from Allexin,  

[Tell me if this boss dares to hurt you.] 

At least Lynda still has two people encouraging her. Lynda smiles at the attention from her best friend and younger brother. Today feels hard, but Lynda will try to survive, if she doesn't work here, who will give her a job?

"Rest, it's late." Lynda replied to Allexin's message, after that Lynda turned off the cell phone to rest immediately, she didn't know what other work Nelvan would give her tomorrow. 

At night, Nelvan left the room after making sure Lynda was asleep, Nelvan went to the gym in the house. Being at home all day pretending to be handicapped was not easy, Nelvan felt sore, so he needed to work out. 

A room that only Nelvan could open was entered, a room filled with so many sports equipment, wearing a black singlet and shorts, Nelvan did a treadmill to sweat out his body. 

An hour after training, Nelvan returned to his room, but he heard the sound of the door opening, Nelvan immediately hid, Lynda was seen going to the kitchen to drink, cautiously Nelvan went to his room without Lynda knowing. 

"I think I saw something?" Lynda rubbed her eyelids then shook her head, after drinking she went back to her room to sleep. 

  

The next morning, Lynda was back to work, the first thing Lynda did was make breakfast before working on the place she had not had time to touch. After breakfast, Nelvan and Hans went somewhere Lynda didn't know. 

In their absence, Lynda quickly did everything she could, the house had to be spotless when Nelvan returned. While Lynda was cleaning, someone came in unexpectedly, shouting. 

"NELVAN XANDER!" 

Lynda was surprised to hear a woman's voice screaming so loudly in such a big house, as Lynda ran towards the sound of the shouting, Nelvan had been out with Hans for an hour and a half and had not returned. 

"Miss, are you looking for Mr. Xander? He's not home." Lynda said. 

Bella turned and looked at Lynda from head to toe, "Who are you?" said Bella. 

"I'm a maid here," Lynda replied, Bella giggled. 

"Call Nelvan here! I want to talk to this man." Bella started to go to Nelvan's office, but Lynda quickly got in her way. 

"Miss, Mr. Xander is out with Hans, you can come back when Mr. Xander returns," Lynda said, but Bella pushed Lynda so hard that the girl fell roughly to the floor. 

"Miss! Don't go into Mr. Xander's room! He's not home!" Lynda pulled Bella out, the study was one of the places Lynda wasn't allowed to go, so there were probably secrets in the room and no one but Nelvan was allowed in there. 

"Don't disturb me!" Bella pushed Lynda so hard that the girl almost fell to the floor again, but Hans immediately held Lynda back. 

Nelvan, who had returned, looked sharply at Bella, "What are you here for?" Nelvan asked Bella with a cold voice. 

Lynda stood next to Hans and whispered, "I forbid it." Lynda said, Hans nodded in understanding and did not argue anymore.

"Continue your work," Hans said, Lynda immediately walked away. 

"Hans, I told you that woman can't set foot in my house again, why can she still enter easily," Nelvan said. 

Bella approached Nelvan and tried to grab the man's shirt and pull him out of the wheelchair. But Nelvan was not as weak as Bella thought, Nelvan grabbed Bella's hand back. 

"Stop making me do anything crueler than what you are about to receive," he threatened as he threw Bella's hand away from him. 

Bella clenched her fists, "You made me and Romy get no work, all the companies refused us work because of your orders, you suddenly canceled the wedding and then made me suffer like this, what are you doing!" Bella snapped emotionally. 

Nelvan smiled ironically, if it wasn't Bella who made him do this, then Nelvan never got Bella into trouble. 

"I think Romy knows why I'm doing this." 

Bella was silent. 

"You tried to use me first, so just accept the consequences you have to get, Hans." 

"Yes, young master." 

"Throw this woman out of my sight, I don't want to see the face of a traitor in my house." Nelvan said. 

"Nelvan!" Bella screeched to death, and Hans forced her to come out. 

Nelvan's wheelchair stopped when he saw Lynda struggling to treat her bleeding elbow, "What Bella did you hurt?" asked Nelvan, Lynda turned her head then grimaced without answering, Nelvan snorted, instead of helping the man he left Lynda still struggling to treat the wound. 

"Let me help you." Hans arrived shortly. 

"Thank you." Lynda let Hans help her. 

"If that woman comes back, you better call security immediately, they are more capable of making her leave than you are of dealing with her yourself." Hans said. 

Lynda looked at Hans who had finished treating her, "I didn't know there were guards in this house, how do I call them to come?" Lynda asked. 

Hans handed a small black object to Lynda, "Use this, just press the button once if you need help, but press twice if it's urgent," Hans said. Hans said. 

Lynda accepted the object and remembering what Hans had said, the man left, leaving Lynda to continue working, a long breath passing Lynda's lips. 

"Only two days and I'm already like this." Lynda shook her head, she still has to try to be patient, it seems living in this house really does require extra patience.

"Wasn't the servant badly hurt by Bella?" asked Nelvan. 

Hans closed the door to Nelvan's room, "It's just a scratch on the elbow, but why do you care if it's serious or not?" Hans asked back. 

"She has to do her homework properly, if she gets hurt it's useless to hire someone who's sick." Nelvan replied, Hans nodded. 

Nelvan closed the file he was holding after signing it, "Give her a job that is much harder than just working on this house, I want to see that girl give up." Nelvan said. 

"Young master, this house is very big, the garden is also very big, while this girl is working alone to serve you while taking care of all the things in this house, do you think there is anything more cruel than that? She is only nineteen years old, a woman, employing a woman in this way is not right, even if she works as a maid," said Hans. 

  

"The previous maids ran away before a week of work in this house, what if we wait for Lynda until a week, whether the girl can still hold out that long or not, if something happens to the girl then you will also be in trouble later." Hans suggested, honestly, Hans also felt sorry for Lynda, who took care of everything in the house all by herself. 

"Do you think this kind of work is very hard?" 

"Of course, I am a man, but to do what Lynda is doing now, I would quit on the first day." Hans answered without thinking. 

Nelvan thought for a while, considering the size of the house and yard, it was quite big, but Nelvan felt it wasn't enough to make Lynda resign without him asking. 

"Tell her to drain the pool," Nelvan said, "manually," he continued. 

"Sir, the pool has a lot of water, to drain it just by opening the drain door takes a long time, how can you treat an innocent young girl like this, she has no problem with you but you want to torture the girl so much, your venting is not right young sir, you are upset with Bella but your venting is on another girl." 

"YOU DARE TO RESIST ME!" snapped Nelvan, Hans immediately fell silent, he just wanted to help Lynda from the torture Nelvan was giving her. 

Maybe for Nelvan the work Lynda was doing was easy, but such a big house was impossible for one person to clean in a short time. 

"Go outside and say what I said before," ordered Nelvan, who hadn't heard Hans' suggestion at all. 

Hans could only exhale in resignation, "When will the young master return to the young master I once knew," he thought.
