Once A Servant, Now A Legend Chapter Eight
The softly closed elevator doors. Jeff and Lena were in it. Lena turned her head towards Jeff. He seemed relaxed. Nothing was shown on his face. Still, Lena's heart was racing. The incident with Hillary kept coming back to her. The insults. The yelling. The laughing of Hillary’s friends. A lump formed in Lena's throat. She continued to feel the hurt caused by Hillary's words.“Is everything alright?” Jeff inquired. His tone was soft. It was like a day and night difference compared to the angry words outside.Lena made a slow nod. “Yes, I guess so.” She inhaled deeply. “But that was… a real stress-test.”Jeff responded with a little, serious smile. “Madam Smith can indeed be very challenging.”“The word ‘challenging’ would not be sufficient,” Lena remarked. She hugged herself slightly. “She was enraged. And the things that she uttered.”“Don’t let her troubles affect you,” Jeff advised. He was watching her very closely. “She was just trying to provoke you. She needs to be strong. Don'

The elevator doors had barely opened before Madam Hillary Smith’s voice sliced through the air like a whip. “Stop right there.”Jeff paused mid-step, jaw tightening. He had been hoping to end this encounter with a polite nod and quiet retreat. No such luck.She stood in the corridor, her friends crowding behind her like an audience at a play, their painted lips already curling into judgmental smiles.“Did I say you could go?” Hillary’s tone dripped with authority, the same tone she used to scold servants, the same one she had used on him countless times before.Jeff’s eyes flicked to her, calm but glacial. “Madam Smith,” he said evenly, “I have nothing more to say. I’ve already discussed the divorce with Genevieve. From now on, my life has nothing to do with your family.”A ripple of whispers passed among her friends. “Divorce? So it’s true.”Hillary’s painted smile turned cold. “Divorce doesn’t mean you get to disregard your elders.” She snapped. “I’m still your senior. It’s only na

Once A Servant, Now A Legend Chapter Six
The Crystal Garden Lounge gleamed with chandeliers and the scent of imported tea. Madam Hillary Smith sat at the center of a small gathering, pearls gleaming at her neck, her laughter a polished, performative sound. Her circle of old society friends surrounded her, the kind who thrived on gossip disguised as polite conversation.One of them, a woman with perfectly coiffed silver hair, leaned in with a conspiratorial smile. “Hillary, darling, you look simply radiant! And this lounge, so exclusive. Did Fred arrange this for you?”Hillary waved a manicured hand with feigned modesty, her smile bright and practiced. “Oh, Fred always insists I have the best. He booked this entire floor, actually. Just for a quiet afternoon, you understand.”“The entire floor?” another friend gasped, her eyes wide with admiration. “Goodness, Hillary, your future son-in-law is simply devoted! My son barely remembers my birthday, let alone books a hotel floor!”A titter rippled through the group. “And isn’t

Jeff waved a hand dismissively. “Forget it. Anyone in your position would have reacted the same.” The simplicity of his tone, the calm in his eyes, made her feel smaller somehow, like she had thrown stones at someone who had only ever tried to help. Her gaze dropped to her hands. “Still, thank you. For saving me.”He didn’t answer immediately. For a moment, his expression softened. “You’re welcome,” he said at last.He stood, reaching for his jacket. “You should rest. I’ll have someone bring food and clothes.” She hesitated, fingers gripping the blanket. “Wait,” she called as he reached the door. “I never asked your name properly.” He paused, half-glancing back. “Jeff,” he said simply. “Just Jeff.” “And you?” She gave a small, uncertain smile. “Lena.” Jeff nodded once. “Rest, Lena.” He stepped out quietly, closing the door behind him.For a long time, Lena sat there, the silence pressing softly against her ears. The faint scent of antiseptic still lingered in the air, mingled w
