Our turn

Chapter twenty nine

Niverea was brought back into the stark reality when Cecilia tapped her shoulder . Startled and slightly annoyed , she gazed up at Cecilia demanding an explanation .

"It'll be our turn soon. Remember what I told you ? . " Cecilia lowered her head and whispered .

Niverea nodded her head as she recalled Cecilia's exact words to her , yesterday night . When they were finalizing their plans

Cecilia had clearly told her

" So , my plan . The only sensible thing that I can think we can do in a situation as this . You told me that you couldn't go back to your hometown unless you have the money with you and yet the cow has been stolen away . " She looked into Niverea's eyes to see if she was listening .

And of course Niverea was listening , the uttermost rapt attention. If this was the only way , and Cecilia was assuring her that it'll be okay , then why not ? .

"There has been some rumors circulating around the town , about Lord Cian . The Lord's ruler's son . It is said that he's in need of servants and with generous pay amount . everyone is planning to go there for the interview that'll take place tomorrow . I was planning to visit there too . But now , you'll have the follow me too . " She paused to glance at Niverea once again .

Niverea had her eyes fixated on Cecilia moving lips , that was the only thing she could do now . Listen .

Even though the plan looked somehow to her . The first one is getting or going back home after a month ?

That would mean a lot of trouble , and beatings too . And who knows ? Build might actually be dead and that would mean that Niverea was going to end up the same way too .

But still , it was a more better thought , than going home empty handed

As much as she wished to be freed and alone and independent in this world , but madvil and her husband her all she has .

She isn't delusional enough time count them as her real family , but still they were all she knew . She wanted to earn her freedom ! To deserve it ! .

But for now , everything will have to wait untill after a month or so till she'll collect her first paycheck .

And to get the paycheck , she had to get accepted by this Lord Cian of a person . Which she honestly thinks she didn't have a chance .

She couldn't even hold a candle to all the present participants here .

She was actually suprised to see that much people in the hallway , all with the hope of securing an employment with this person .

That Niverea's been hearing off . Everywhere !

That's literally the only talk on people's mouth everywhere.

"We'll soon go in. Remember, smile and lower your eyes , okay ?! . " Cecilia pleaded at the last minute because she knew what Niverea was all about .

Niverea shook her head and motioned with her fingers how she'll become a " nice . " Person overnight .

Things happens ! .

Most especially , whenever it involves a huge sum of money .

Smile ! And lower your head

She practiced it and plastered a smile on her face ,praying that the people who buy it . Wanting to test the authenticity of her own smile , she turned her shoulder back slightly , and widened her smile at a man .

The man simply stared at Niverea , eyed her thoroughly and continued with whatever it was that he was doing.

She tried it on another woman , who immediately blanched , like she just saw a ghost or something . She wasn't sure .

Niverea huffed and threw her hands in the air , giving up on the pretences . On the other hand , Cecilia was charming everyone with that pretty smile of hers .

Talking smartly and softly and even going as far as to blush coyly .

Niverea scrunched up her nose at the display , isn't Cecilia going too far ? . She rested her shoulder and waited for the time when they would get called in .

The thing is , only few people were coming out of the room and they looked tired and scared . Ok , but what's going on inside ?

"Pssstt . " She tried to call Cecilia who had gotten too immersed in the character and was waving her hands and laughing over some silly jokes ..

Oh really?

"Lia . Cece? . " She tried again and this time around , Cecilia answered looking a little bit annoyed that Niverea has interrupted her .

"Don't you think something is wrong ? People are hardly coming out, despite the large number that went inside . "And pointed out her observation as her eyes picked up yet again another tired looking man coming out of the room .

"Maybe they have been hired ?? . " Cecilia replied stiffly .

What the hell is going on in there ? Her interest was piqued as she shifted uncomfortably on the chair .

She tapped her foot on the floor , seeing the whole room but at the same time none . What was going on in there ??. Why are there lesser people coming out despite the large numbers that went in ? .

She still did not understand , but she'll soon get it . As long as she's going there them

Finally , the gyole walked towards them . Like an object that was controlled , it got to Niverea's front and spoke .

"Massstt webt.. went ...you there " It spoke in a deep voice with a slight drawl .
