Chapter 276
As the first rays of morning sunlight streamed in, warm golden light spilled across the bed. A small, sleepy figure curled up under the covers.
Soon, a head with a wild
the window, lost in thoss of hair popped out–Zinnia lay with her cheek pressed against the pillow, eyes slowly opening as she stared blankly out
In the morning, Zinnia usually took a moment to collect herself. Finally on holiday and free from the rush to school, she eased into her day before getting
up to wash up.
Today, she planned to visit the house her Master had given her the Moore manor. She hadn’t had much free time lately, but with the long holiday, she finally had time to take a proper look around.
After washing up, she stepped out to find Yannis had already left for work. On the round table was an insulated food container with breakfast he’d asked someone to deliver.
She noticed a note with bold, elegant handwriting that carried a distinct sharpness. Picking it up, she read, [Eat before you go out. Call if you need me.)
By around nine o’clock, Zinnia opened the food container and sat down for a leisurely breakfast–pumpkin soup, pancakes, and ham omelets, all crafted by a highly paid chef.
Everything was delicious. After breakfast, she loaded the dishes into the dishwasher, grabbed her bag, and headed out the door.
Yannis’s health is slowly improving–he should be more or less back to normal in just over a month. She started thinking about moving out. She thought, ‘I can’t keep imposing on him like this.‘
Zinnia had already looked up the location of the Moore manor. After leaving her apartment complex, she hailed a taxi directly to the manor.
Perched halfway up the mountainside and boasting a prime location, the majestic estate rose into view as she gazed at it from a distance.
The taxi could go no further up the mountain, as access was restricted beyond a certain point. Zinnia paid the fare and got out. The Moore manor occupied nearly half the mountainside.
She walked up to the gatehouse and explained her purpose. The security guard, seeing Zinnia, immediately called the butler. Recognizing her and the key she showed, he bowed respectfully and said, “Please wait a moment.”
Zinnia waited for a short while. Soon, a discreet Rolls–Royce Phantom pulled up to the gate. The car stopped, and a butler in his early fifties stepped out
of the passenger seat.
His gaze landed on Zinnia, eyes filled with barely contained excitement. He was very happy that she had finally came.
The old butler looked at Zinnia, his eyes welling up with tears. “Lady Zinnia, you finally come. We’ve been waiting so long–we thought you’d abandoned us,” he said, his voice trembling with emotion.
For five or six years, he had tended the manor without ever meeting his employer in person. Though his wages always arrived on time, the owner’s long absence left him feeling precarious, as if he might be dismissed at any moment.
When he received the calt that someone was coming to see the manor, he could barely contain his excitement–after all this time, the real owner was finally about to arrive.
He still remembered what the person in charge had told him when he was first hired: “Whoever comes with the key will be the true ov. and from that moment on, everything here will be at her command.”
“Please get in the car,” the elderly butler said respectfully as he opened the door for her,
of the manor,
As the car wound its way up the mountain road toward the manor, the butler, sitting in the front passenger seat, couldn’t hide his excitement as he turned to speak to Zinnia, “Mistress, where are you staying now? Would you like to move back?
