Elena wiped the tall glass mirror inside the bright white foyer of the grand mansion.
She was a young maid who worked hard every single day to support her mother.
The family she worked for was extremely wealthy and lived in a massive marble estate.
Victoria was the mother of the household and always wore expensive dark blue gowns.
She walked down the curved staircase while holding her young son's small right hand.
Leo was only four years old and loved to run across the smooth polished floor.
Elena smiled softly at the sweet little boy as he giggled near the big columns.
Victoria looked down at her polished fingernails and frowned deeply at the young maid.
She did not like how close her son felt to the quiet house servant.
Victoria pulled the little boy back toward her side with a sudden sharp motion.
Victoria: Stay close to me, sweetheart!
Leo stopped running and looked up at his mother with wide and confused eyes.
Elena dropped her white dust cloth onto the clean floor and lowered her eyes fast.
She never wanted to cause any trouble inside this strict high-society family house.
Victoria stepped closer to the trembling maid and raised her voice very loud now.
She accused Elena of trying to steal an expensive silver clock from the living room.
Elena gasped in total shock because she had never touched anything without permission before.
She dropped down to her knees on the cold marble floor to search her bag.
She wanted to prove to the strict woman that her pockets were completely empty.
Tears began to pool inside Elena's eyes as Victoria kept shouting harsh harsh words.
The heavy front double doors suddenly burst open as a tall man walked inside quickly.
It was Marcus, the owner of the huge property, returning early from his office.
He wore a dark navy blue suit and looked very worried about the noise.
Marcus: What’s going on here? Is everyone okay?
Victoria immediately changed her strict face into a sad and delicate expression for him.
She pointed her finger down toward Elena, who was still kneeling on the floor.
Marcus looked at his crying maid and then looked over at his upset young son.
He stepped across the grand entryway with long and very fast powerful steps now.
He wanted to figure out what had caused such a big scene today.
Elena held her breath as the wealthy man stopped right in front of her.
