Troublesome Maid [Part 2] (Sebastian)

"Is there anything else I can do for you, Master?"


"Since Sebastian is off getting God knows what, I suppose I'll explain."


I simply nodded for him to go on.


He sighed and continued to sign off on the documents that laid before him. "Mr. Moreau is a business partner who is in charge of the French branch of this company. As of recent, he's been raising the prices with the excuse of an increase in tariffs without my permission, yet alone consulting me."


"So he's been taking that extra money for his own profit... and you plan to catch him by inviting him for dinner?"


He gave me a smirk. "I can't have that insolent fool disgracing the Phantomhive name."


"Very well. I shall assist Sebastian and the others in preparation. If you'll excuse me, Master."


I stood in the center of where the two staircases began to split. There was so much work to be done. "What should I start with first?"


I first polished the banisters, swept the floors, selected a few dining table cloths and laid them out for Sebastian to choose after washing and ironing them, and set out some French-manufactured dishes and cutlery after polishing them so Sebastian could choose from them too.


Satisfied with my work, I decided to check up on the others.


It... it did not go so well...


Finny...
"Um... Finny?"


"Yes?"


"I think you used too much pesticide..."


"Huh!? What!?  THE FLOWERS!!! I'M SO SORRY!!! I THOUGHT TH--"


"That and your trimming work..." I trailed off as I looked at the sea of trees, bushes and hedges in the shape of skulls.


Bard...
"Bard..." I called as my eye twitched.


"Oh, hey there," he chuckled. nervously.


"Please tell me it's not what I think it is."


I stared at him incredulously as he held a flamethrower over the ham Sebastian had left out to thaw this morning.


Mey-Rin...
"Hey, Mey-Rin!"


"O-Oh it's--"


"How's it going with the laundry? Do you need some help?"


So far she was the only one doing something right.


"Wait!!! You're putting too much detergent!!!" I called.


Later...
After taking care of the messes made, my uniform was beyond dirty and unpresentable.


And so, I went back to my shared room to change into another set of clothes.


However, when I had turned around to see if Mey-Rin was still there, she was gone and Sebastian was right behind me.


"A-Ah!!! Sebastian? I-Is there something you need?"


"Hm. You seem awfully flustered. Is something the matter?"


"You just startled me, that's all..."


"Looks like your wounds have healed completely..." he mumbled as he parted my unbraided hair over my shoulder.


He was so close. So close that I could feel his breath. His fingers which slightly grazed over my neck made me shiver.


"No signs of scarring either. Interesting," he said as he stood upright again, no longer examining my neck.


When I had faced front, I noticed that he had been staring at me intensely from the reflection of the mirror. As our eyes made contact, he gave me a small smirk before peering down again.


As his lips hovered over my ear, he gently whispered something that nearly had me fainting. "I know... I know your secret."


The last thing I saw was a small, mischievous glint in his eyes before--


When I had come to, there was a knock on the door. "Sebastian..."


"The guest will be arriving shortly. Quickly prepare and be sure to greet him with a warm welcome," he said with a knowing smile.


"Of course," I replied, my head feeling awfully light and my legs feeling rather limp.


Before walking out, I remembered that I had yet to change my uniform. But when I looked in the mirror, it had already been changed... it was probably Mey-Rin.


Later...
After Moreau had... left, I quickly yet thoroughly cleaned the... mess? left behind by some... um... unexpected guests.


When I had finished I went back to the room, seeing Mey-Rin finish changing into her nightgown.


"Thanks, by the way, for changing my clothes for me~" I called as I disappeared into our shared bathroom.


"What? I never changed your clothes," she answered confused.


"Hm? After helping me with my hair earlier this afternoon. You didn't come back to--"


"I went out and continued to take care of the laundry, yes I did."


"That must mean... Se-Se-SEBASTIAN, THAT SLY--"


"Silly me. I forgot I had changed before falling asleep," I lied.


"You fell asleep!?"


"I wasn't feeling so well, so I decided to rest up a bit. I wouldn't want to show our guests that the master allowed such an ill-looking maid to serve them. Plus, it may give them reason that the master is cruel to his servants. Wouldn't want that, no do we," I replied smoothly.


"That's right, oh yes it is. The master is such a wonderful person!"


"Indeed. Now shall we get some rest for tomorrow?"


She nodded her head and blew out the candles as we both fell into a deep sleep.


Sebastian's POV
"A-Ahh!!!"


"Hush now~ Or do you want one of those idiots finding you like this~?"


"D-D-Damn it! That hurts!!!"


"Relax~ I'm just extracting some of the demon blood. It'll attract some unwanted attention with levels that high."


"Was it really necessary to bite into my neck?" 


"I thought it would be more intimate and romantic. Now close your eyes."


"Romantic? What are... you..."


"She passed out already?"


I chuckled as I looked down at her sleeping face. Her expressions earlier... were my favorite.


What a shame she doesn't remember anything. Or even the events after that.


"You troublesome maid..."
