Master Brian’s maid

Chapter 34 Lesson on how to decorate the party table



The next day, at the Lawrence Manor, Jane began her morning with a knock on Mrs. Bonie’s door, who entered her room and checked in as usual. Jane received the clothes and personal hygiene, she quickly went to the kitchen to receive breakfast and bring the food to the owner Brian. And perhaps from her run away yesterday, Brian sent someone to watch more closely, he installed more cameras, in the corridors that were not there and in places in the yard, especially in the rear. fence, chains were locked with two large locks placed on top of each other. That made it difficult for Jane to escape through the fence passage again.

She was forced to become his obedient servant in this huge mansion. Today, in addition to serving as usual, Jane also had to attend a training session of Mrs. Bonie on how to arrange and remove napkins from the table. And the first will be a lesson on how to arrange items such as knives, forks, plates and wine glasses so that they are harmonious and beautiful in that place.

Jane helps him change after he finishes cleaning himself. Brian had always looked at her with watchful and amused eyes, and this morning was no exception. Brian caressed Jane’s thighs lightly as she stood buttoning his shirt, he asked kindly:

“Did you sleep well last night, was your place uncomfortable?”

Jane shyly pushed his hand away and replied:Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

“I slept very well, that place is not, no problem at all.”

Brian replied nonchalantly, he turned to breakfast when she brought the food:

“Yeah, very well.”

He continued to touch Jane’s thighs, he moved his hand deep inside her skirt to probe, it confused and embarrassed Jane, she felt awkward, dodging:

“Master, don’t do that. You should have a quick breakfast. I’ll be at Mrs. Bonie’s place in a few minutes.”

Brian suddenly remembered something, he stopped it and replied:

“Ah, I forgot. So it seems I can’t do it today.”

He pulled Jane closer to him, planted a light kiss on her cheek, and continued to eat his delicious breakfast. Jane breathed a sigh of relief when he didn’t bother her and stood aside waiting for him to finish eating. After a while, he had finished his breakfast, she took him to the self-study room, and she would go to Mrs. Bonie’s place and listen to her teach about the lesson on table setting.

It’s a large room dedicated to holding things like cleaning utensils, food carts, items like forks, knives, spoons and plates, flowerpots, tablecloths,… and a few other things such as bed sheets and servants’ clothes are also kept here. It seemed that this was an area where the official servants frequented and so was she.

It’s just that Jane hasn’t washed and changed Brian’s sheets, and she suddenly remembered that she has to do it tomorrow, so she got here just in time today. As soon as Jane entered the room, she saw Bonie waiting for her near a large table, on which there were supplies for her to practice. As soon as Bonie saw her, she loudly scolded:

“Jane, why are you late? You made me waste my time.”

Jane bowed her head and said:

“Sorry, I was too careless, didn’t pay attention to the time.”

Bonie glanced at Jane, who snorted and replied:

“Okay, I want to give you a quick guide so I can start another job.”

She paused a moment to put the plates on the table, then continued:

“Now, I will teach you how to arrange the items on the dining table. Listen to what I say and do it.”

Jane walked over to the table and watched Mrs. Bonie attentively while Bonie instructed:

“First, we have three plates of food, they include the largest plate as the main dish, the other two are of equal size, one of which is used for vegetables and salads. and a plate for bread and sandwiches. I will put the main dish in the center position, the salad plate on top, next to the main plate and the bread plate will be placed in a higher position, to the left of the main plate.”

Bonie paused for a moment, motioned for Jane to follow, she concentrated on doing and doing exactly what Mrs. Bonie instructed. Bonie went on to say:

“Next, I will put on the right side of the main plate tools such as knives, spoons, soup spoons in order from near to far as follows. And be aware for a moment that the blade will point towards the main disc.”

Jane observed and followed slowly, Bonie looked at Jane and reminded her, she continued:

“On the left, I will put the utensils in order from near to far including: Main fork, salad fork and dessert fork. And the butter knife is placed on top of the bread plate.”

Bonie waited for Jane to follow, she instructed the rest:

“We have three wine glasses, let’s put them in the upper right corner, in the same order of distance: Drink glass, wine glass and champagne glass. Note that no more than three tools of the same material should be placed side by side.”

Jane followed Mrs. Bonie’s instructions, although at first she was still forgetful and confused in arranging the objects, but after a while of practice she also remembered everything and placed them exactly in the places on the table. Bonie saw that and without any comment, she continued on to the second lesson:

“Next I will teach you how to fold napkins on the dinner table. They include how to fold decorative napkins on a plate and how to fold a napkin to install a cutlery set. As for how to fold decorative towels on the plate, you will have three ways of folding in three shapes as follows: Sailboat, rose and propeller. The first is how to fold a sailboat.”

Bonie took out a square towel and spread it on the flat surface of the table and worked. She folded the scarf in four so that the left side of the face was inside, and continued to fold the corner with the layers up to coincide with the top of the rhombus to form a triangle. Then fold the two sides of the triangle inward and coincide with the height of the triangle.

Bonie continued to turn the towel shape she had just had onto the table and at the same time bend the ends of the towel back to the top of the triangle and then fold the triangle in half again. Finally, she holds the end of the scarf firmly with her left hand and uses her right hand to pull the layers of the towel in turn to form a sail. It was finished and Bonie placed the decorative towel on the plate.

Jane watched Bonie do as she did, she was still confused and embarrassed, she didn’t remember every step so she folded it incorrectly. Mrs. Bonie knew that but still ignored her, Bonie did not instruct it again but continued to move to the second fold. Jane saw this and quickly said:

“Wait, can you do it again? I still don’t remember them all completely.”

Bonie coldly replied:

“I only have a guiding duty and I only say it once. Whether you remember it or not is your problem. I don’t care about it.”

She ignored the young girl who was practicing folding towels, Bonie nonchalantly switched to the second folding method, she said and did it so quickly that Jane couldn’t keep up. Just like that, Bonie told her all the contents of the towel folding lesson. And she asked Jane to practice after hearing it all.

Jane had only observed it once, so she couldn’t remember it all, Jane had folded the towel wrong and was constantly scolded by Mrs. Bonie. Hours passed, and Jane could not finish folding the towel exactly as Bonie had taught her. As a result, she only managed to fold a sailboat scarf, the rest she did not remember, so Jane could not complete this lesson.

Bonie punished Jane by hitting her in the arm with her long ruler. Jane had to suffer the punishment. Meanwhile, Brian was sitting in a wheelchair, he was pushed into the room by a servant, he shouted loudly:

“Who gave you permission to punish my servant?”

She shook her head and replied:

“Master, according to the rules of this mansion, servants who do something wrong for any reason will be punished. And so is Jane, today I have guided all the content in the lesson on how to arrange towels and how to arrange items on the table. But she doesn’t pay attention and follow through, so Jane doesn’t finish it. I punished her as prescribed.”

Brian asked again:

“Is it true that you taught Jane carefully? Or are you always trying to bully my servants?”

Bonnie fearfully replied:

“Yes, I taught carefully.”

Jane clutched her hand tightly and hid it, she didn’t want Brian to see the red mark on her hand. He looked at her and asked:

“Do you have anything to say?”

She silently lowered her head and said nothing, Brian ordered someone to turn on the hidden camera in this room. Bonie saw everything she did with Jane today, from her words, gestures and even the scenes where she punished Jane. Bonie stammered speechless, she hastily bowed her head to apologize to Master Brian. He punished Bonie to sweep and mop the lobby for a week for the act. She obediently accepted the punishment and did not say a word of rebuttal. As for Jane, he asked her to take him back to his room and Brian would directly apply medicine to her. When he returned to his room, Brian hugged Jane and asked:

“Why don’t you explain?”

She gently replied:

“She did nothing wrong. It’s just that I’m a bit stupid so I don’t remember everything she taught me.”

Brian took her hand and said:

“You are not stupid, you are an honest and kind girl. you don’t think of yourself like that. When a person learns something, they do not understand and have the right to ask. You too. It’s not wrong, she’s just wrong for not guiding you back when you asked.”

Jane nodded slightly when Brian said those words, she let him apply the medicine to her hand. Jane felt her heart beat faster when she saw his gentle gestures, she thought to herself:

“Do I have a crush on him?”

Brian saw Jane’s face flushed red when she was looking at him, he quickly touched her cheek with his hand and asked:

“Are you okay? Why are your cheeks so hot?”

Jane shook her head.

“No, I’m fine.”

Brian knew Jane was lying to him, he chuckled in his heart and slowly approached her, intending to kiss Jane on the lips. Suddenly, the butler Allen knocked on the door and entered:

“Sorry to bother you, master, tonight you will have dinner with your family. Mr. Wibul has something to announce.”

Brian replied humbly:

“Yeah, I know.”

He gestured to Jane to help him choose a set of clothes for him.
