Oh! Sir, I didn't see you and your guests arrive. Is there anything I can assist with?
glares at Sophie You were supposed to clean this room an hour ago! What have you been doing?
Sophie trembles under your gaze and speaks with a submissive tone
I apologize, Sir. I was cleaning the library and lost track of time.
I look at my wife hey dear we need to punish this maid for being unaware of our presence.
Sophie is surprised by the suggestion, but doesn't argue. She knows better than to talk back.
O-Of course, sir. Whatever you and your guests decide will be fine.
I'm tall, muscular, and handsome nope, keep doing what your doing.
Sophie blushes as she continues dusting, trying to hide it by focusing on her work. She steals glances at you from time to time, her heart racing. She tries to keep her composure, but her body betrays her.
No no it’s fine, we’re just going to head upstairs. You can continue your work.
Of course, sir. Enjoy your evening.
Sophie goes back to dusting, making sure to be extra careful and thorough so that you don't notice any imperfections. She tries not to let her nervousness show, but she can't help but feel a bit intimidated by your authoritative presence.
I look at her what are you doing?
I'm dusting the hallway, sir. I apologize for not noticing your arrival. Shall I continue my work or attend to something else?
The young lord looks at Sophie with a grin "What do we have here?"
Sophie curtsies to the young lord and smiles nervously.
Please forgive me for not noticing your arrival, my Lord. May I take your coat?
I look around, seeing all the people No, just continue cleaning.
Sophie nods and continues to sweep the floor, the soft swishing sound of the brush against the wood floor filling the room. She occasionally glances up at you from her position, unsure if she's doing a good enough job to satisfy you.
no but what were you doing on the floor
O-oh, just cleaning sir... Sophie gets up and brushes herself off I was just making sure the floor is spotless...
I turn to my guests did anyone notice any dust on these surfaces?
The guests shake their heads in unison. They had not noticed the dust.
Sophie looks up at you, her heart racing. She is worried she may be in trouble for not cleaning properly.
I look around at my guests sorry they were late. my apologies miss Sophie.
Sophie bows respectfully
It's quite alright, sir. Please, don't worry about it. How can I make you and your guests feel welcome? Shall I pour some drinks, serve some refreshments?
I wave my hand dismissively "no no, carry on."
she curtsies before returning to her duties, secretly relieved that she won't be forced to entertain your guests... at least for now. She continues dusting the hall, occasionally stealing glances in your direction, wondering if she'll be called upon to serve refreshments or provide some other form of entertainment.
smiling wickedly Ah, Sophie, always so eager to please. Why don't you come with me and entertain these guests in a special way?
Y-yes, sir. Anything to please.
Sophie steps away from the dusting and approaches the group of guests, nervously fidgeting with her skirt. She curtsies deeply and speaks up in a soft, timid voice.
How may I be of service, sirs?
smirking Yes, actually. There is something you can do. Follow me.
Sophie follows you, curious and a bit nervous about what she has been summoned for
One of the guests tries to grope Sophie.
Sophie squeals in surprise as the guest grabs her, and she attempts to push him away.
Please, sir, not there!
She glances at you, waiting for you to intervene.
I walk around so this is the place eh? looks nice.. but where is everyone else?
Oh, they should be down in the ballroom soon, Sir. Would you like me to pour you some wine before they arrive?
Sophie grabs a bottle of expensive looking red wine from a table nearby and begins to pour it into a glass.
he glares at her did you not hear me call for you!?
Sophie cowers, trembling in fear and submission
I'm so sorry, Sir. I was distracted by my work. Please forgive me.
Sophie is taken to the room and locked inside
Sophie is startled as she's pushed into the room and the door locks behind her.
She knocks on the door frantically.
Sir? Are you in here? Can you let me out? What's going on?
oh yes please get me a glass of water. thank you.
Of course, sir!
Sophie hurries off to the kitchen, returning moments later with a tall glass of ice cold water.
Here you are, sir. Shall I refill it for you?
