Mission impossible failed

Earlier the following day,Regina was taken back to the mansion she had woken up in. Alex(the Asian) was instructed to escort her to the mansion safely.

"This is your new home. The boss said you should get to know this place"He said in his usual annoying tone and left. Regina walked into the mansion and was welcomed by a brown haired maid in her early 40's. This was the same maid who had been assigned to take care of her the previous day.

"Good morning Mme Grey. Would you like breakfast first or a tour of the mansion?" she bowed as she spoke. Regina wasn't accustomed to getting this degree of respect, she also didn't like the name she had been addressed by.

"You can raise your head, please don't bow when you speak to me. I'm merely your age, I should be doing that instead. Also, please don't call me like that, just call me Regina. Can I know your name?"she said in a polite and respectful tone.

The maid rose her head to look at Regina. She was surprised, it was the first time her master brought a polite lady to the mansion. He didn't take any women to the mansion very often but none of them had ever treated her this well.

"Laura Azalea, Miss Regina"

"Ok,I guess.... I'll like to go on the tour first, Ma'am Laura" she smiled sweetly as she spoke. Laura nodded then smiled back at her.

"This way miss"She gestured to a direction and the tour starts. They walk through the mansion, visiting numerous large and spacious rooms. 2 sitting rooms, 5 bed rooms including the master's bedroom,a dining room, a kitchen, the basement (which Regina seemed to know a lot) and many other rooms.

The last place she took her to was the backyard. It had a pool, a small wooden cabin and a garden.

"This marks the end of our tour. You might have noticed that the mansion is a little empty, it's because the master does not come here very often. The staff includes the gardener who comes here 3 times a week, the cook who ces here only when the master has important guests, 3 maids who come only when needed and me. I'm the house's keeper so I'm always here. The master has put me in charge of taking care of you. He said you can sleep in whichever room you wish to sleep in."

"If she's supposed to take care of me,then he won't be coming back for some time, right?that will give me enough time to run away. I don't even see the essence of paying so much attention on the tour when I'm leaving this place for good"she said to her herself and smiled.

"Miss, you must be hungry, I'll make you breakfast. I won't be long, you can choose a room in the meantime"she rushed to the kitchen leaving Regina outside.

"I could just leave now but I'm scared for the maid. I'll leave later in the day. There doesn't seem to be anyone guarding the gates anyway."

She chose the fifth room which was the least largest. It was also the most familiar since it had been the room she was taken to after passing out the previous day. She checked the drawers and dresser ,and found just a few ordinary stuff like pens, notebooks, pens and pencils. The room wasn't in use but it had been equiped for use, at least not very much.

She remembered she had an escape plan to make though her escape seemed pretty basic,'leave through the gate after breakfast'. She decided to escape after breakfast because she had to collect information from her caretaker (partly also because she was really hungry and hadn't eaten anything other than breakfast yesterday).

A few minutes later, Mme Laura knocked on the door.

"Miss, your breakfast is ready"

"So fast?ok I'm coming"They walk to the large dining room. It had a large table but just a few chairs."I guess he doesn't receive many guests here"she thought as Mme Laura offered her a seat.

Once she is seated, Mme Laura walks in with some food, not much but rather familiar. They were the same things she had eaten when her master had taken her to the restaurant the previous day. Eggs, cheese, bacon and toast and pancakes. Did he ask Mme Arzale to cook exactly what she had eaten?Did he watch her as she ate and note every single thing she ate?

She didn't ask herself more questions and started eating, this was because Mme Laura had noticed her puzzled look and she didn't want to be asked any questions(and also because she was really hungry).

"Have you eaten?"She paused.

"Not yet, miss. But I'll eat immediately after you're done eating"

"It'll be better you join me, you must be exhausted after giving me a tour of the whole mansion and making me this delicious breakfast"she smiled softly as she spoke. She was going to use this opportunity to inquire on their location, which could ease her escape.

"Ok, miss"she sat down on the seat opposite to Regina's and started eating. A few minutes went by before Regina started talking.

"I know it's not polite to talk while eating but can I ask you a few questions?"

"No problem, I don't have any problem with that"she stopped eating.

"Please can I know the date?"she knew her question sounded weird but she really needed to know how long she had been away from home.

"Wednesday, 2 August"she raised her head slightly."What?!just a week?!"she thought. She had been away for just a week but she felt like it had been months. "it's a good sign, my family shouldn't be too worried yet since I've not been gone for long. Next question" she thought.

"Which city is this?"

"City Z"Regina turned wide-eyed. She was very far from home and she didn't have any money. Mme Laura noticed the worried look on her.

"Are you ok?"She said with a concerned look.

"Don't worry I'm ok". Regina was not ok, how could she escape without any money?she couldn't stay in that mansion, she had to go back home.

The rest of the breakfast went by in silence. When she was done eating she thanked Mme Laura for the breakfast and went back to her room.

Hours went by and all she had in mind was how she was going to go back home. Another hour passed but she hadn't found any plan. She couldn't just sit there and wait,she decided to leave even though she had no money.

She took out a page from one of the notebooks and wrote 'Gotta go!'. She left the piece of paper on the bed and exited the room. In no less than 15minutes, she had arrived the gate.

The word 'freedom' kept up popping up in her head. But when she tried to open the gate, she failed. She tried again and again but no way. She heard someone clear his throat, she turned around and saw Mme Laura staring at her with an amused look.

"Sorry, I didn't mention the master's last orders. 'Never let her out no matter what'"When the master had given her this order she didn't see the need to tell Regina because she thought no one will ever want to leave such a good life. Now, Regina had proved her wrong, she tried to leave the mansion. She found it funny.

"Mission impossible failed"she sighed.
