Spoil me a Little

Silent took over; no one dared to raise their head, much less reply to Austin. Everyone could only clench their fists.

Sonia, still kneeling on the ground, frowned her brows. "What's wrong with these people? They see this golden opportunity but don't seize it. Hmph! Wait till I become the Young Madam; I will definitely hit the hell out of all of you. They really think I'm too kind, don't they?" she thought.

Austin patiently looked at everyone, waiting for a response, but after a long silence, his gaze fell back on Sonia.

"At this moment... it seems like you don't have any brothers or sisters here," he remarked.

Sonia smiled. "Young Master, we're not really that close, but I also want to promote them too. Since they deny me, then there's no need to bother with them again," she stammered, forcing all her courage out.

"Hmph! You will definitely regret this. I'm willing to throw you a golden opportunity, but you just let it go like that. The heavens must have eyes to let me become the mistress; I will destroy every one of you," she thought, an arrogant air surrounding her.

Austin frowned tightly. "You said it yourself," he began.

"I... I don't have any regrets, Young Master," Sonia replied. "Haha, what's there to regret? Everlasting pleasure is on the way toward me; there's no regret, haha!" she laughed crazily inwardly.

"Double K!" Austin suddenly called.

A male in a black uniform appeared out of nowhere, wearing dark glasses that made it difficult to identify the color of his eyes. His expression was cold and scary. As soon as he arrived, he moved to Austin's side immediately.

"Boss!" he bowed respectfully.

"She…" Austin's gaze fell on Sonia.

Sonia's smile widened, celebrating inwardly, but suddenly she was grabbed by a very strong man, stunning her and ruining her happiness instantly.

"What... What are you doing?" she exclaimed immediately, now sensing the danger in the air. She looked at Austin, her heart racing.

"Just take her down," Austin commanded plainly. Anyone who didn't know him well would have thought that he had pardoned her, but for those who did, the meaning sent chills down their spines.

Sonia's expression froze as she realized she had pissed Austin off. "Young Master! Young Master, please! Please pardon me! Young Master!" she shouted, but she was mercilessly dragged out by Double K.

No one dared to raise their heads, and although they were already shivering, they didn't allow it to show on their faces all for that fear of angering Austin more.

"She's your Young Madam!" Austin declared, gesturing toward the silent Jean. "You all must listen to her every command!" he added.

All eyes focused on Jean for just a brief moment before they echoed, "Welcome, Young Madame!"

Jean didn't speak; her gaze remained fixed on one spot without blinking.

Austin's gaze swept around everyone until it fell on the first female in front of him. "You," he stated.

The female in the front immediately went to her knees, clenching her dress tightly to avoid revealing how scared she was.

"You are the Young Madame's personal maid from now on. If anything were to happen to her, you know the consequences," Austin's voice became extremely cold.

"Yes... yes, Young... Young Master... I... I shall... shall... serve... Young... Young Madame well," she stammered, forced to speak as she struggled to hide her shivering, which now betrayed her composure.

Austin paid no mind to the maid and turned his attention back to Jean, gently caressing her face.

Jean's eyes shifted away from where she had been staring and focused on Austin.

"Look at her; I chose her to be your personal maid. Do you like her?" Austin asked, his voice softening so much that everyone else in the room couldn't believe their ears.

Jean's gaze shifted from Austin to the maid, who was bowing so low that she seemed to want to sink into the ground, then back to Austin, where she blinked.

Austin smiled. "That's a yes?" he inquired.

Jean blinked again.

Austin's smile widened, and he gently kissed her forehead. "Let me take you upstairs," he stated and lifted her effortlessly, carrying her upstairs.

As soon as the couple was out of sight, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief. The maid, who had been shivering on her knees, calmed down a little.

"I became the Young Madame's personal maid. Is my death near?" she thought.

All of them had their own thoughts, but they dared not voice them.

... Inside a dark room.....

Austin gently laid Jean on the bed, and switch on the light, he moved closer to her and sat on the bed beside her.

"Jean," he called softly.

Jean looked at him.

"Can I hear you call my name?" he inquired, his face devoid of coldness and filled with warmth. He now appeared to be the complete opposite of his devilish side, looking more angelic.

Jean stared at him for a long time before her gaze turned bored, and she looked away.

The excitement on Austin's face vanished instantly replaced with heartache. "I will be away early tomorrow and will come back late. You should feel comfortable, okay?" he remarked.

Jean didn't even bother to look at him; she did not nod or blink. She didn't give any sign of having listened to him at all.

Austin sighed and stood up. "I will call your personal maid over to help you bathe," he stated, kissing her forehead again before stepping out.

As soon as he left the room, Jean's expression grew even colder. She stood up from the bed and went to the bathroom.

...

The next day

"Young Madame, it's me, Wendy, your personal maid!" Wendy knocked on the door twice. Her voice was not steady at all as she tried her best to sound bold. She waited a long time at the entrance, but the door remained closed.

"Young... Young Madame," Wendy called again, and this time, the door was opened.

Wendy's mouth hung open, staring at the person who had opened the door. She took several steps back, frightened, almost losing her balance and falling.
