George Sebastian

"Good morning Belinda." Ella greeted cheerfully and picked up the rest of the bread that had been lying around.

"Morning, Ella." Said Belinda, who was busy cutting her vegetables.

"You are so neat. I thought you were going to miss this day," Belinda said.

"No, Ella, you still have to go to school." Laras, who had just come in and was carrying a few piles of blankets and she looked so tired.

"Mom ?! Let me help. You are not completely healed," Ella said as she immediately took the thick blanket from her mother's hand.

It wasn't long after Frank entered, "Do you know? I should be able to take time off first," Frank said, still looking sleepy.

"This is very unusual if you come, Frank. Don't tell me ..." guessed Ella.

"You know, this family likes to throw parties," Frank said.

"I should have asked my salary to be increased. Hmm ... that's a good idea. I have to talk to Alvin." Belinda said while jerking her knife firmly.

"What? Is there a party, Mom?" Ella was starting to get curious.

"Just a little party tonight, Ella. Hurry and give this blanket to Helen. She's waiting in the laundry room," Laras answered.

"Mom ..." Ella was getting annoyed.

"Ella Amber! NO !! You have to go to school right now!" Laras denied his daughter.

"But mom ... your condition is not good, I better not go to school. So I can replace your job." Ella tries to persuade.

"Laras, you should have followed your daughter's words. Hey, Belinda! w#Where's my knife?" Frank asked.

"Use your eyes, Frank! It's behind you," Belinda replied, still busy with her vegetable cuts.

"Shut, up Frank! I'm still pretty well." Laras stared irritably at Frank.

"Ella Amber, hurry up and go NOW!" Laras started to twist her waist and looked at Ella.

"Hi Alvin, what a coincidence. Someone wants to talk to you," said Frank, smiling broadly, glancing at Belinda.

"Everyone... morning ... look very busy in here. Did someone had died?" Alvin quipped.

"Hei Alvin, I want my salary to be increased! You know in this month, I've counted twelve-time Huxley family-making celebrations. Plus Bobby's on leave." Complained Belinda.

"You want to take your leave too, Belinda? Oh... so you better get pregnant soon." Alvin replied casually. Frank immediately burst out laughing at that.

"Morning Ella, you haven't left yet. (Alvin glanced at his watch). Laras, can you help me organize the room and we have to get some porcelain utensils back?" Alvin pointed at Laras.

"OK! No problem. Shall we get started? And Ella doesn't forget to give the blanket to Helen." Said Laras.

Ella was forced to obey her mother's orders.

Belinda was right about the Huxleys, who often held parties at their residence. Keeps the workers super busy when the party is suddenly held.

No wonder the Huxley Family has three personal chefs, five domestic helpers - including himself, and a butler, Alvin.

Alvin has worked with Huxley for a  long time. Even Frank had told Ella about it if the great lineage of the Alvin family is as a butler.

Helen was already in the laundry room. She was waiting for the expensive silk blanket Ella had brought.

"Thanks, Ella, and why haven't you left yet?"

Helen's question immediately made Ella realize that she was past her time. The school bus must have left her.

Ella ran towards the back of the mansion. Took out her bicycle and immediately put on her bicycle helmet.

She had driven her bicycle towards the outer gate of the mansion until finally, she crashed into Edward's black limousine.

Ella immediately bounced off with difficulty. She got up and lifted her bike.

"Aww ... Shit ..." complained Ella very quietly.

The windshield of the car slowly opened. Edward's face appeared, and he glared at Ella. 

"Sorry, Mr. Edward," said Ella, lowering her head, Edward watching the girl in front of him.

Ella wears black shoes with cream-colored pants and doesn't forget a long-sleeved blue shirt that looks oversized and rolls up to her elbows. Edward was still staring coldly at Ella.

"Let's go now. I don't have time for this ridiculous thing." As Edward said giving orders to the driver, Ella swallowed her saliva and could sigh with relief.

Her master didn't scold her, perhaps in a good mood for this afternoon's party.

Ella made it to school safely. This is her last year in high school. Ella has a smart brain and is a fast learner, not naughty, and not a troublemaker

She is also eyeing a scholarship for her college.

Ella throws a basketball at her friend Kristy.

"Hey, are you all right?" Asked Kristy, who managed to catch the ball deftly. "Let's rest, okay?" Asked the tired Ella,

They began to sit in the field and stare at Mr. Austin - their gym teacher, still busy assessing the student.

"I'm going to the movies with Calvin. Would you like to come with us?" Asked Kristy.

"Sorry, I couldn't join you. I have to work." Ella answered.

"Hmm ... how does it feel to work with the Huxley family, especially to be able to meet Edward Huxley ...! Surely you are glad, coz you were there every day." Kristy starts flirting again, even though she knows how Ella is.

"Hhh !! Do you want to switch places with me? I am willing to give my position with you, Kristy!" Ella answered simply.

"Ella, look at yourself now. You're not too ugly. Look ... you're getting taller, even taller than me now. You have nice brown skin. Your eyes are round, your nose is sharp too. Now about hair, maybe you should dye it - that's it. it will look even better."

Kristy started doing observations.

"Your lips are nice too," Kristy added. "Why doesn't Edward Huxley glance at you, huh?" Kristy asked, starting flirting again.

"Are you satisfied with your assessment? You should ask your boyfriend. Why he prefers you than me." Ella got angry.

"Hahaha .. sorry. Don't be angry like that, but to be honest ... my assessment is true about yourself, Ella," Kristy said.

"Hey, look at twelve o'clock." Kristy pointed to a man who was also sitting across from them.

"You like him, don't you? George Sebastian." Kristy grinned.

"Kristy! Keep your voice down, and don't point at him. You make him stand out." Ella complained. Kristy also lowered her hand and didn't point again.

"Miss. Amber? It's your turn. Hurry." Mr. Austin said. He is calling Ella's name to immediately get ready for the assessment.

George glanced slightly at Ella, who looked confused. But Ella quickly started to show her coldness. 

Class is over, Ella comes home carrying her bicycle by the side of the road with the bicycle helmet she still uses. Her bicycle chain broke, she walked while cursing at her bicycle in annoyance.

"Hi Ella, are you, okay?" Said George suddenly. 

A man with black hair, brown eyes, and his trademark smile. Ella blushed at the man she liked.

"Hi, George." Ella instead returned the greeting. 

"Hi, Ella," George said hello back, even though it was strange to him. "Are you alright?" George asked again.

"Ah .. this. Oh yes. It's just a little damaged. It's okay," Ella said and starting to be embarrassed.

"Wow .. the chain broke? You have to quickly change the chain," George made suggestions.

  "Yes, right, thank you." Ella smiled at him.

"George? You're here, huh." Said a man George's age.

"Hurry, Alfred is waiting. You don't want to be left behind, do you?" The man said, from the clothes logo that the man was wearing. Ella believes he's from Cambridge University.

A red mustang car stopped in front of them, "Ella, sorry I stayed first. I have something to do with my friends. Are you okay for alone?" For Ella, George's asks this wasn't like asking a question, like asking her permission.

"Please, George, have fun," Ella said.

George and the man started to get into the red mustang. Ella could see a black-haired man with the same alma mater driving a mustang car.

George gave a smile and goodbye. The Mustang was driving and disappeared in the distance. While Ella immediately jumped for joy, she was delighted that George greeted her first.

An annoyed Ella threw her bicycle into the secondhand warehouse. "Wait here !! I can't fix you now." Ella said to the bike she threw.

"Hi, Jason !!" Ella said, "How's Hercules doing?"

"He said to stay away from him. You made him want to throw up." The middle-aged man was seductive. Ella also smiled broadly at Jason's joke.

"Today, I can't help you. Mr. Edward is throwing a party again. I'll help Mom and Alvin." Ella said seriously.

"Yes, Ella. I know you're smart. Surely you will ask Alvin for double payment." Jason replied sarcastically. Ella only chuckled in response.

****Job desc Ella - Huxley Family

"Ella, please get me the pasta bowl and put it on the table over there." Laras orders.

"Ella, you can get me another white tablecloth. You can ask Floretta where she put it." Helen's orders

"Ella, please move all those chairs. Mr. Edward doesn't like disturbing sight." Alvin's orders.

"Ella, hurry up and put sauce on all the serving plates, don't forget to put a piece of berry on top." Frank orders.

"Ella. Please serve these cookies to the front, and please be careful." Belinda's orders.

Ella slumped down in the corner of the room. The soup kitchen was not as busy and busy as before. She was really tired.

"Drink this! It's good for health." Said Laras, concerned to see her daughter, who was in good mood.

"What is this?" Ella tasted bitterness on her tongue.

"Jamu .. you must be diligent in drinking herbal medicine. This is typical of my country." Said Laras.

"Mom? Really? You try to poison me?" Ella tries to refuse.

"This is only drink, and finish it, and then change your clothes. Don't let Mr. Edward see you and punish you again." Laras has started to get up from sitting casually.

M"Ahh... I guess it's her hobby, Mom. Making people suffer - as he did it before as usual." Said Ella honestly.
