Second Chances

Chapter 34: Step Together

The next day, I woke up with a nice vibe feeling. I stretched my arms while my blanket was up to my chest part. I was only wearing my underwear since I'm more comfortable that way. And no one cares, I'm staying alone in this wonderful suite.

The bed was actually huge and soft, and I buried myself with all of the pillows around me. I yawned and jumped out of the bed. And in front of my bed, is a huge crystal looking mirror and saw my half naked body.

I think I need to work out.

Then suddenly someone knocked on the door. I grabbed the bathrobe that I saw in the wardrobe so I could open it and see who is at my door.

"Housekeeping." I heard someone spoke on the other side.

Oh, it's too early for a housekeeping.

I opened it and saw a young looking maid. "Hello, madam. My name is Marie and I am the one in charge of your suite." She spoke cheerfully, clapping both of her hands.

I chuckled and opened the door wider so she could enter. "Hi, Marie. Aren't you a little early to be housekeeping?" I wondered.

"No madam. The housekeeping time in this cruise is exactly 7 in the morning." She told me, walking in. She looks very vibrant to be a maid and very young actually.

"Really?"

"Yep. This cruise is kinda abnormal." She joked, with a giggle. She was pulling this cart where there is a vacuum cleaner, a mob, some bucket and a water container. "Oh, Mrs. Knight told me to give you these clothes."

Marie handed me a group of shopping bags. Jesus, I'm raining luck in this ship. And it's so nice of her.

I opened each one of the shopping bags. These batch of clothes are more simple, like it's for an everyday look. And then there are sports wear too. I placed them all in the wardrobe.

I was about to go to my bed to arrange the blanket that I used when she stopped me.

"Oh no, madam. I will handle everything." She stopped me as she head over to my side and make my bed. "Oh and breakfast is ready at the dining place in Marko's cave upstairs."

My eyebrows touched when I realised the way she mentioned Marko's name. "You sounded so familiar with your boss."

Marie smiled and flipped her hair in a sissy way then laughed. "Because, madam...that man is not worthy of any respect."

I laughed at her honesty. She is so blunt on talking about how he dislikes her boss. "May I ask, how old are you? You look so young to work."

"I'm 19 years old, madam!" She cheerfully replied.

"Wow, you're very young." I announced, sitting down on the love seat couch at the corner.

"My Mom is the head of the maid service here, madam. I'm here to help her out." She said, taking the vacuum cleaner from her cart and arranged it.

"Oh, that's very thoughtful of you." I smiled, praising her. "I like you."

She gave me a horrified look. "Oh, I'm sorry, madam. But I'm straight!" Maria gasped. She even had her hand on her chest.

Huh?

I just shook my head and laughed. "I didn't mean that, silly." I stood up from the couch. "I mean, you are very fun to talk to."

"Ohh!" She exclaimed and laughed even louder. "Sorry about that. I easily misunderstood things."

Then suddenly, my phone rings that was on the side desk of my bed. I saw that is was Stephan calling. "Hello?"
